FOX commentators acting like we've never heard of the Nurburgring before.

I wonder if Gordon's attendance actually has boosted ticket sales at the race. Anybody there who has also been to the Rolex previously know if the crowd is bigger this year than it was in previous years?

 

[Wiz]

No, that was Ricky Taylor on lap 20

Indeed it was. My bad.

It's Fox, they assume everyone watching racing has the intelligence rivaling a pile of dirt.

 

[GTFan24]

At least they don't have Darrel Waltrip in the booth

 

[Rossell2]

That's Fox all over isn't it?

 

[ukfan758]

If you are one of the 5 people who has FS2, the race is going over there now.

 

[Northstar]

It might be, I only watch it when they air a race.

#2 having problems on the pit lane. Or not, looked a bit weird.

DirecTV 👍

 

[Leadfoot530]

And so, FS GO it is!

At least they don't have Darrel Waltrip in the booth

"Oh my gosh, they just made a right turn...and another one! Have you ever?

...

No, I never!"

It certainly didn't look like they were expecting him. Looks like this will be a last man standing type race.

 

[Rossell2]

Missed that hoping for a replay...

 

[Michelin]

Fox Sports Brazil just ended their coverage, only coming back with 2h30 left on the race. IMSA.tv working perfectly for me, will keep on watching

#2 was going to pit but a Ligier Nissan (?) was coming out and got in the way.

 

[Northstar]

Ford has to be the laziest team on the grid.

"We need to make these cars look a tad different if we run 4 of them"

"I know, instead of doing the cool/sensible thing and giving each one a different livery, lets just add a stripe that doesn't fit in!"

"Brilliant!"

 

[GTFan24]

So far no PC spins..

 

[Leadfoot530]

ISR knows what up.

 

[Northstar]

So far no PC spins..

I'm going to save this post so we know who jinxed it.

The last 2 years have seemed more crowded. When the driver lineups were announced pre race over the speakers there was a pretty big applause and cheering when Jeff Gordon was announced

 

[Organ-Donor]

#10 hard into the back of the #70.
For 🤬 sakes, Jeff, if you throw this away for WTR...

Was there significant damage to the #10?

 

[GTRacer22]

Gordon is nothing but a publicity stunt. There, I said it.

@Organ-Donor Just cosmetic.

This Morris kid is pretty good here in the LMP1 class.

 

[MustangManiac]

Same for me, off the tele and back on the computer.

LMP1 class?

 

[IforceV8]

LMP1 class?

Yep.

 

[catamount39]

Yep.

Um...I'm lost what. Like, WEC?

 

[IforceV8]

Like the GM cars are in a class by themselves.

Oh...oh I get it.

Yes I'm dense.

Vision GT then?
