Couple points----First, VPN. or, for those who are computer-savvy, fake IP addresses (proxies.) never had luck with setting up a proxy. as for paying more .... at some point I have to say, "Enough.”

IMSA and Fox don’t owe me anything. They exist to take my money, and the less they need to provide me to get my cash, the better for them.

However … their TV broadcast is occasionally incoherent, due to too many classes to cover and too many commercials/infomercials. Getting a stream and actually watching the race is preferable. My choice, my loss or gain …. Can’t blame Fox if they can successfully sell crap. My choice to buy it.

Anyway …. Since this was just two classes, I assume Fox managed to cover it better. I tried to follow on T&S and RLM and in-car cameras…. The picture I got was that tire strategy played a big role. Most of the time the cars weren’t close enough together to show up on another car’s in-car camera. Lapping was about the only overtaking.

And I missed the Corvette spin …. The Vette in-car was following the pursuing Ford, then it wasn’t then, the Ford was winning. Very Rare to see a Corvette do that …. I think I recall maybe Magnussen messing up at a Long Beach, and of course the Great Sebring Pit Lane Collision ….

Still I enjoyed what I got from it.

This is a good thing, actually. After so many years of chasing after this series and its predecessors …. Now I have to ask if there is something better to do with my time and money.

We’ll see. I still plan to hit Sebring next spring ….

It will be interesting to see what the series comes up with in 2020 …. But I am betting we will see the same DPis for several more seasons. Less ESM, sadly.

But the idea of cutting the cord and learning how to do all the computer maneuverings seems better with each passing season.
