That is perhaps biggest wreck I have seen this year in any series. Wow.

The double exclamation marks are perhaps over the top, but otherwise it's a fairly accurate description of the video's contents.
Obviously something like "Porsche crashes at Virginia International Raceway (5/10/2013)" might be more appropriate, but you get what you get.

I think if any video deserves exclamation marks it's that one, because that's one "BIG CRASH!!".

The Porsche looked like a beach ball taking flight, I didn't notice it the first time I saw it but now seeing it here...just wow.

I will say one thing being there, that was nasty!
This was my first time at VIR or watching ALMS live. It was amazing how nice and open things were for fans, the track is awesome! Falken Tire by far has the hottest grid girls and super friendly too. My camera isn't nearly good enough for most pictures but I had some good ones.
Overall I was amazed at how fast the P1 cars are going into turn 1 when closing on any other car. I sat between 3-4 so I got to see 1-4 which was nice.

I would have called this the worst wreck of the weekend if poor Dario didn't have his incident.

I think it looks worse than it actually is, but it easily could have gone another way in few different ways. I was happy to see everyone just walk away.
Am I the only one who thought some of the local cautions are weird like during the Porsche race they had a guy off in turn 2 but had safety working on moving him out of harms way while race really never slowed?

Jeez I can't wait to watch the race replay of this track. Dario's crash was probably worse --even though this one looked more intense--just because he was flying head first into fencing in an open-cockpit indycar, and he did not *walk* away from the car, he left in a stretcher, from what I could see. He was in the car for a while and I seriously thought we were going to have a sad day at first. I like Indy but I don't see why they race at ovals, the way they get airborne and shatter to bits (which I guess is to absorb the impact but still). I like street circuits but you could argue the same thing about them being unsafe. Sports cars seem relatively safer but who knows, "the big one" can happen to anyone....scary stuff.

I've been looking Mac and I can't find anything :/
Completely understand what stretch is saying. The atmosphere was so strange. That was the first time I've been to a race where a driver has died and I hope I never have to experience anything like it again.

Petit Lemans will be broadcast by Fox Sports 1, rather than ESPN and my trusty live stream, ESPN3. However, Fox Sports claims there will be a live streaming of the event, but they don't specify where. Does anyone know if Fox Sports live streams on their website?

Was anyone aware of this? Or am I just now hearing about it? (see bold)

They make it sound like you can stream the event through their mobile app, Fox Sports Go, but you have read the fine print. It's tied to your cable or satellite account. Since I don't have FS2 from my cable provider, the mobile app will not allow me to watch FS2 content. And from what I can tell, ALMS.com will block anybody from inside the continental US.
So it's back to searching for dodgy illegal streams if you want to see the race.
