On FS-1 and the weather is now perfect after a rainy start.
Good stuff and the announcers are damned funny.
Go Corvette !!

I think the Corvette's are in for a long day, those GT40's are damn fast. Corvette got hit with some BoP adjustments, and it looks like the GT40's were sandbagging a bit during practice, given how much faster they were in qualifying. They did some additional changes after qualifying, but I think the Corvette's are still a good 2-3 seconds a lap slower. But there is still a long way to go.

You're prolly right but anything can happen.
Those GT's are fast, but will they last?

Exactly, in the past the Corvette's have given up some overall speed for endurance - so we'll see what happens. Lots can happen in 20 hours.

If you've set up your DVR to record the night racing, you might want to check it, Fox has moved the race between FS1 and FS2 and coverage is now finishing on FS1.

Not on my provider and not on any streams I can find.

I miss the days where you could find any sport somewhere on line for nothing.

People are going to be pissed when they wake up and see that FOX switched the coverage around on FS1 and FS2 AGAIN!

United States nation championship > European road race, any European road race.

Sorry, but...viewership...sponsorship...Fox's investment....Le Mans loses at every level.

I don't care what channel they put it on, i do care that they stick to the channel schedules that they've published and that my DVR is working off of so that when I go to watch the race I don't have 2 hours of UFC and 2 hours of golf.

Dbags at FOX.
