2017 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship - General Season Discussion ThreadSports Cars

[ProjectWHaT]

Hello fellows.

So, wich one is going to be the "place to be" for this years race? this thread? or the one in https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...ts-cadillac-ford-ferrari-lead-the-way.353233/ ?

I'm assuming its going to be this thread because that one's just for commenting on the qualifying results (at least its supposed to be).

That's what I was thinking. I'm personally going to be doing thread updates here as well.

And the BOP whining has started in IMSA radio already.

We'll see how it turns out. GTD and DPi are fine at least.

Cadillac is quicker than any another P car in the infield. They are either superior in mechanical grip out of the slow turns or there really is no replacement for displacement.

To be honest, I have to laugh at the DPi sandbagging allegations already. Unlike Le Mans (which was the FIA being stupid more than anything), the IMSA field is pretty much brand new and nobody truly knows what will happen. We all know the Caddy is the fastest right now, but the Mazda supposedly ran a 1m 37.1s lap in a practice session. Add to the electrical woes from the Cosworth system that everyone but Mazda has and it's still anyone's guess as to what will happen today. Sebring will be a better guess of who needs BoP adjustments due to pace than Daytona will since they'll have more development time by then.

NA engines forever.

Not to mention Daytona is a one of a kind track. Literally nothing like it. Also, Mazda isn't running the Cosworth electronics? I thought everybody had too?

Is there no stream of the coverage on their main site? I'm not seeing it anywhere.

 

[Savolainen83]

Less then 30 mins to the green flag!

Try this: http://imsatv.imsa.com/

I will be here when it goes live in roughly 15 minutes.

 

[adam46]

Oh I see, coverage starts there at quarter past - I had been told the green flag was at 7PM UK time.

Yeah same here, I was already panicking

 

[IforceV8]

FSGO stream is pretty good quality FWIW

and it has it's own terrible commercials

 

[ProjectWHaT]

DRINK!

 

[Savolainen83]

Anyone know why Turner Motorsport is only fielding one car in the GTD category?

 

[catamount39]

Finally got the fire stick to work. Well at least I don't need to change the channel now lol.

Oh God...pre race ceremonies...

This is most likely their only race this year.

Both of their customer drivers from last year left racing. The Daytona entry came together at the last second so they may not even be at Sebring.

 

[Friday_GTRP]

Wish you all a great race!

 

[aarror]

Both their customer drivers from last year didn't return due to the influx of factory teams in GTD.

Edit: Treed. Damn it @Northstar

I edited it in as he typed it so technically double tree'd.

That other thread title has changed to a race thread.

 

[catamount39]

Who cares we're using this. xD

Oh my God the cringe levels of the pit reporter asking how can we tell the difference between the Ford GT and a DPi.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Those of you participating in the drinking gqmes, be careful if alcohol poisoning. I've seen the FAST BMW three times in the last five minutes.

 

[IforceV8]

DPi's 55 and 10 have onboards on IMSA tv

 

[Savolainen83]

Any livefeeds up yet? Imsatv is not yet there, neither RLM.

 

[Lilium]

on IMSA.tv you cannot see the main, but you can see the manufacturer camera option

Hmm, this seems to be working for me. Guess we'll find out shortly.

What? I watched the whole season's main feed there last year.

He means it's not live yet.

 

[twitcher]

Has it started yet? The IMSA stream just says "your event is about to start"

I'm panicking
