IMSA How on Earth do I watch an IMSA race?
How do you do it? It comes up every race - let's help other 10-10thers out.
I'll go:
IMSA TV / Radio Le Mans
NBC/Peacock
IMSA youtube channel
Anything to add or correct?
If you'd like the same for WEC races see the very informative thread here.
I'll go:
IMSA TV / Radio Le Mans
- Location: Global, but only markets that don't have exclusive TV (e.g. not USA). Good examples are Italy and France.
- Live
- Quality is good.
- No adverts
- Commentators: John Hindhaugh, Jeremy Shaw and Shea Adams.
- oh and whoever they have on for a massive interview when something important is happening
- links:
https://www.imsa.com/tvlive/ - also shows the support races
mirrored on http://www.radiolemans.co/ (possibly this link: http://imsaradio.com/index.php/live-video/) - Replay put up on youtube - normally a few says later
NBC/Peacock
- Live: Peacock shows the entire race, NBC often only partially depending what else is being shown (not too sure how much and on what channels they show0
- Replay: Peacock show it. Posted relatively quickly. Not sure how quick, but last night's Long Beach race was ready the following morning - I guess it was quicker than this - they normally take an hour or two with their rugby coverage.
- Commentary: Yes, although expect special features on Jimmie Johnson skiing ten minutes into the race when things are happening.
- Commercials: Very much yes.
- Overall it will make you throw your model Porsche 917 into the TV. Try everything you can to not watch it this way.
IMSA youtube channel
- Really only for replays - but really good.
