It definitely does these cars are so cool to watch super fun and exciting never a boring moment it's cool as seeing these little things speeding down the straight aways with there very high pitched motor hahaha love it, IMSA needs to make a PLAY STATION 4 & 5 game and have these different series to choose your championship from I reckon it would be a awesome game similar to asseta corsa but way better more series to choose from even add the LE MANS races!!! the 6hr at the glen race the 12hr races the 24hr of le man race everything that's on the IMSA OFFICIAL channel and even the GT WORLD Channel TH-cam channels have a think about it IMSA even have a conversation and see where it goes idk how it works I just really hope a game like the IMSA SERIES does come out on Sony consoles!!!!! I love this channel
And were back for the "Absolutely Magnificent" racing IMSA no matter the series your covering and hosting you always deliver 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep it up love the races and the MX5 Cup is always insane
Watched them bundled up like a bunch of NASCARs going into the esses from the top of the Seneca Stands. I kind of figured it wouldn't end well, and sure enough, big one. One hell of an entertaining race though!!!
Sam Paley cannot catch a break… second race in a row where he’s been an innocent bystander and gotten taken out, to have to scrap and claw his way back through the field…
That crash all started with the battle between Rollan and McIntosh several corners before that crash. They were playing bumper cars side by side for about a half a lap. Rollan finished the dispute with that final bump before the crash.
The Open Grid/Fan Walk on pit lane is from 9:35 a.m. - 10:20 a.m. ET. Around the track there are kiosks with 'Fan Guides' which have the complete schedule inside. Have a great time! And if you have questions in the future, please feel free to email info@imsa.com.
I just got into watching IMSA but if they can change the rule to allow Platinum and gold drivers in why can't they have a two lap shootout so it's a more exciting finish.?
afaik (and I might be wrong) but NASCAR is the only series that will attempt to finish under GWC. Indycar doesn't, F1 doesn't. Maybe some dirt oval series in the US does, or Stewart's SRX exhibition series, but thats the only ones that come to mind.
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT This. Though, I am going to include F1 in the list of bullshit, considering the race director calls in the last 3 seasons to gin up "excitement and interaction, for ThE ShOw!!!!!11" Edit: changed "race steward" to "race director"
This series deserves so much more attention. Deserves TV coverage.

Let’s go racing IMSA!!!! Thank you again for the upload…🏁🏁🏁🏁
MX-5 Cup NEVER disappoints🔥
I just wish we had this in Europe
If only TOCA Allowed MX-5's as a support series for the BTCC.
@@mehmarcus1995There's the Mazda MX-5 championship that the BRSCC run in the UK. They usually stream on TH-cam.
@@cmbunit01 It's not quite the same though. These regulations are something else.
There's an MX-5 Cup in the Netherlands that runs to the same regulations.
MINI Se7ens or Legends provide equally good racing IMO
This is racing at its best.
Thank you for providing this for free on TH-cam.

NOOOOOOO ROLLAN! You were putting up a hell of a fight.
Welp
As an Australian I have to say that I love Watkins Glen, just a great track, Rj in Oz
Oh hell now I gotta drop what I'm doin n watch this

Also where is Zilich I watched him race in a different series earlier this or last week and I know he's usually racing in this series
@@biboonkc9987 He's in Trans Am's TA2 series, he'll be back in MX-5 for the last weekend I believe
Estre would be proud of that grass work
Following this series from Trondheim-Norway,so much fun! Door-to-door action never gets boring! :D
😮 What can you say about this race is, "OH yes, what a great Friday it is!!!!😊
So good. Shame about the way it ended and not the result I’m sure the drivers wanted. Gutted the 787b tribute liveried car got totalled.
Should probably check his mirrors

i came here since im a ioracing sim fan, and the start is amazing!!!!
Underrated car put through its paces every single driver with smiles on their face
Love this channel.
Thanks IMSA!!! I love this category.
AWESOME " Race 1 - 2023 Mazda MX-5 Cup At Watkins Glen International", IMSA Official!;):): 😮❤🎉😂😅😊
This series NEVER disappoints!
Awesome drive Noaker
Looks like so so much fun.
What a race by McIntosh until the crash, I love the throwback to the "Renown" livery on his MX-5.
Sadly came in too hot into that corner...
That’s a heap of great driving being demonstrated here..
What a mess! This series is so tight ! 👏🏻
Really hope everyone finds another car for the next race. 🤞🏻
This series is the main event of the weekend
I love these races, ....Wagner Drives FAR to close to the edge.
OVER the edge. This season he's hung it out a bunch and gotten himself into trouble. This is the worst hit he's taken this year, though.
Sam Paley cannot catch a break… second race in a row where he’s been an innocent bystander and gotten taken out, to have to scrap and claw his way back through the field…
Those two big wrecks were totally unexpected. It kind of changed the whole race really.
Now this, is racing.
Gotta love IMSA race weekends!

This racewas definitely pack racing and included the big one a la Daytona.
How early does one need to be on track to be able to walk around the cars/ teams before the race tomorrow ?

I love this series, but I wouldn’t want to be behind the wheel. To freaking nerve racken, if you catch my drift.
Bro was just mad that guy had the balls to go deep into turn one with an unsettled rear end AND get the move done. petty move to turn him after.
Why isn't Shae on NBC? Awesome sports car announcer

We can understand your frustration but IMSA races are timed events.

Mathew Durks caused that major accident. Look closely
We did look closely. In-car video from his and others deemed #69 at fault and was issued a penalty.
