Man this coverage sucks...

Spend a couple minutes talking about the NASCAR style tire change, then cut away when they go to change the tires... and cut back as the car is leaving...

And pretty much only showing the hypercars... there are two other classes out there.

Coverage is terrible.

I don’t remember so many bad crashes the past few races.

I watched it pretty much from the start while moving my kid into her new place, but I can't find it at home streaming without pay per view

Only "free" in the US is Motortrend TV.

It's been interesting. DVR'd it and speeding through commercials and safety cars.

I actually like the idea of splitting the pack back into classes under safety car. I'm sure some get burned, but getting the GT cars out of the Hyper field is a good thing on restarts.

The "slow zones" are causing more issues than a local yellow, so BS.

Either you race in the rain and let the teams figure it out, or just pull over like NASCAR Cup. The whole stopping the race because teams are on the wrong tires is BS. They all didn't even change.

Corvette Racing is having a bit of rough day, down a lap in GTE, but the NASCAR Garage 56 Camaro is 30th overall and would be 5th in GTE, not a bad showing for a bunch of 'rednecks'... LOL

[Aerovette]

They never covered the entire field for as long as I watched. They never showed numbers on the cars during my watch. A lot of front shots. It was ok, but not great.

This guy did a decent update on the Garage 56 car

Damn, the Camaro is 28th overall and would be 2nd in GTE.. great run for the garage 56 team...

I know! I wish they’d focus on something besides hypercar.

Did I hear the announcer say that the Camaro had 'Tranny problems'???

That announcer will be fired, or put under the guillotine.

In the realm of racing, a thrilling scene unfolds,
Motor Trend carries the race, stories yet untold,
No need to stream, for the DVR holds the key,
To watch at a gentlemanly hour, in pure ecstasy.

Chatter fills the air, whispers of the #24,
As Europeans ponder, hopes soar and explore,
Will the NASCAR-like entry find success on the track?
A modded ZL1, a sight that turns heads back.

Hendrick, the mastermind, assembling a team,
Older drivers blend with youth, a perfect dream,
Cream of the crop, the best of the best,
An over-the-wall crew, prepared for every test.

In the Pit Stop Challenge, a moment of pride,
The Garage 56 pit crew, with skills that collide,
Topping 16 squads in the GTE class, they shine,
With a NASCAR-style pit stop, a sight so divine.

A manual jack in their hands, they swiftly move,
In 10.364 seconds, their talent they prove,
Fifth place overall, a testament to their might,
Just 0.3 seconds behind, a close fight.

As engines roar and tires screech on the course,
A symphony of speed, a passionate force,
Motor Trend captures the essence so grand,
Uniting fans worldwide, a racing wonderland.

So sit back, dear friend, with anticipation high,
Let the race unfold, as moments fly by,
For in this racing realm, where dreams take flight,
Motor Trend paints the canvas, with pure delight.

Corvette take first in it's class.

Ferrari hypercar still sucks.

Did you have a Pit Pass and unlimited press access??

Congrats to Corvette Racing and the Hendrix Team, great showings.
And Team Cadillac, 3rd and 4th, finished all 24hrs and did well.

Finishing 24hrs in a car is awesome, I get stuck in traffic for 10 minutes and my C7Z starts pushing 220+ temp.

Is there serious brake fade by end of race??
