This is in regards to Fox's awful coverage of WEC content.

Sounds about right to me. I gave up on a few series only because of the difficulty in following the scheduling. Be it Fox or whoever.
I find myself alienated by some of the copyright (lack of better term) blackouts for IMSA races.
On the flip-flop.
A reminder, that this years IMSA event at Lime Rock is the series first LIVE major network broadcast, which is to be on FOX, not FS1 or2.
Better not be effing golf coverage at all.

Overreaction of the century.
Seems you completely forgot about these:
That or you never heard of these to begin with, hence the massive overreaction.

Great, just looks like the road car with a giant DTM wing on it. Must be the new regs.

Will probably be used on premium vehicles. The Corvette would be a premium vehicle.
Man, it would be a real shame to see NA disappear from GT racing because of superior turbos.

GT3 though is just Formula BoP. And it'll crash and burn soon.It's rather annoying actually.

I think it'll be quite fascinating. Big powerful turbos kicking in... Hopefully a bit of lag as well.

Adding more cold water to @catamount39's world
Aston Martin have partnered up with Mercedes-AMG who has a new twin-turbo V-8 that fits perfectly into the GTE engine regulations.
The time of turbos is coming.

I'd rather blow torch my knee caps. The moment Aston do that I drop them, same for Corvette.Adding more cold water to @catamount39's world

Sadly they're nothing like the one's of the 80's...they just muffle noise and ruin the engine sound frankfully. Only a hand full of cars actually sound good with turbos on them (the entire WRC/WRX roster too). If they were like Subie's or Audi Quattro's that'd be okay, but sadly its usually an F1 car or BMW M6 sound.

Lamborghini/Audi will have my full support in other categories, no sign of a turbo V10 thankfully.
As well as Mercedes until they drop the 6.3L NA V8.

Everyone should jump in Aston Martin have partnered up with Mercedes-AMG who has a new twin-turbo V-8 that fits perfectly into the GTE engine regulations.
The time of turbos is coming.
So basically, its safe to say that The Turbos will soon be:
More or less. He's that stuck on sound and sound alone, regardless of how much it stops winning.

I like the sound of a shouty NA motor, but a good turbo car can sound drool-levels of dirty (see Ford GT, ATS-V.R).

Because they're garbage now days and don't excite me at all, an Aston/Corvette/Audi makes me dream of driving it, an engine that sounds like nothing else in the world. Meanwhile some of these modern turbos sound like glorified hatches or worse. Its a trend with modern cars, they may look amazing, but the engines in some of them are trash. Don't want the dream car to sound like a fart can. If they were like Impreza's, Quattro's or Henessey Venom's, that'd be great. But they're not.My new favorite hobby

I don't care if the new 488 is faster than the 458, the 458 sounded like a racer, a monster. Turbos don't excite me, they lack the character of NA's.
