Is periscoping = web streaming? I thought WC usually streamed every race no matter the TV schedule.

Also, I had no idea the GTS class was even racing this weekend. Was there much of Friday and didn't see Mustangs or Camaros anywhere (unless you count the Formula Drift cars they had hidden away in the kids zone).

Periscope is a streaming app that a lot of the teams and the series use during the race weekend (It's viewable on all devices, including PCs). It's pretty rudimentary, but definitely watchable. Unfortunately, PWC isn't operating their live stream or a race periscope at Long Beach.

The GTS cars aren't racing at Long Beach, though they have in the past.

Yeah that was my bad, I was looking at another site's write-up and not paying attention to the fact that it was a story referring to a different WC weekend. Too much racing this weekend, my eyes are out of it.

Thanks for the clarification on periscope.

Just got back from my parents where I watched the race. Somehow the CBS Sports Channel managed to construct a 2 hour show around a 50 minute race. That’s impressive, though not necessarily in a good way. As for the race, it delivered what PWC is probably best known for these days: A first-lap yellow flag, another yellow flag later in the race, a couple more cars into the wall on top of that plus random questionable driving during the 25 minutes of actual green-flag action.

Awesome for KPAX, they had a great run. Bummer for Johnny O, though.

Barber should provide for some good battles in a week's time.

I was out at LB for business and went to the race over the weekend. A few observations.

1. PWC finally has their race on Sunday morning. People are there for the Indycar race and everything else is a support but in the past when PWC ran after Indycar, people were leaving and didn't care. Pretty much like what happened to the trucks and drifting this year.
2. Boring race. The first half under yellow and then the Cadillacs were in a different league. The guy that started in the back just picked off car by car without a problem. The leading one just ran a bit out front to stay out of trouble. Maybe if they could run a full 50 minutes things would be different but by my watch about only 20 or so minutes were green. Somehow Indycar ran all green and IMSA most of the race went green.
3. No GTC cars. That class is painful to watch. Some of the guys are good but others are really bad. Thank goodness they sere not there because the whole race would have been under yellow.
4. Good atmosphere and the jumbo tron is nice to be able to see the action when the cars are on the other side of the track. The coverage on it and the announcer was really good.
5. Good food and great weather. Typical for the LB race.
6. Plenty of people but not as many as when I used to go in the 90's. Seems typical of any race I go to today. At least it's not empty like some other events I've been to.
7. Effort team is really nice and friendly. Probably the friendliest team I've met in a long time. With that, they are "my" team for 2016. Wish other were that friendly.
8. The trucks are awesome. I went and had a burrito and a margarita after the Indycar race. Once drifting was done, I was able to sit anywhere and enjoy them. They are fun to watch because they are so different.
9. PWC seems to be doing a good job. Not as big and stuffy as Indycar or IMSA.
10. The weekend came to an end. Wish it didn't. Back to work.

Effort Racing is awesome, definitely one of the fan-friendliest teams. Great people.
