Poultry 24 Hours of [discussing covid at the Weathertech 240 at] Daytona

Race week! We've all seen the major story lines, teams sitting out, health & safety procedures, etc. I hoping that as a spectator from home, the on track product won't differ too much.

Truncated schedule sees first on track session Friday evening, and the race ending a little over 24 hours later.

Schedule Link

Weather - Hot. Humid. Rain.

Timing

I feel like I'm going to have to relearn how I like watching races. (This computer goes here, cord here, timing screen there, etc.)

Drinking Game Rules:
- Mention of first time back racing/we're back racing/good to be back racing - take a drink
- Mention of coronavirus safety protocols - take a drink
- Mention of coronavirus safety protocols during a pit stop - finish your drink
- Mention of fan attendance limit - take a drink

Bonus:
- Mention of Multimatic officially running Mazda - take a drink
- Mazda still blows up - finish the bottle

Well I'm not into drinking but if I am home on Saturday evening I will follow the race for sure. More likely now since the morons in my city cancelled fireworks everywhere. GTD grid should provide a chance for someone who has never won before or has not won often to take it this time. Which in this case is almost everyone accept for Turner BMW or Shank Acura. I don't think anybody else on the grid has multiple wins in the past year or two. Will pick the McLaren to win in a shocker.

Let's keep it to motorsport, or how to watch and enjoy this race, rather than straying into the whys and wherefores of COVID responses. There is a general thread to discuss that if you need that - let's not derail this one before it has even got going.

And what does Mrs seanyB type in return? Mrs. JoeB don't give 2 F's about racing so i have to sneak it in. No telling her in advance because she will try to plan something for me to do out of spite. I just sit down to watch and ignoring the family once the flag drops!

So you're a fan of the Asian rounds where she can't, in theory, plan anything at 2am?

Oh she's the freaking best. Really happy to let me do almost anything race/car related. For example this post was made from the hospital, followed by several hours of bonding time in front of the laptop watching the race.

She really only gets concerned once atlfalconsfan gets involved, but luckily he's leaving the state.

ha! I remember that!

So this race is at 6pm local if i'm reading the IMSA site correctly.

The race is on NBCSN or whatever other pay versions they have of the service.
I gotta figure out how this racing thing works again too. Am I risking the NBC announcers? hooking rlm up to tv soundsystem? might do a trial run with Indycars earlier in the day.

So, for the not so bright guys here in the UK .....
What time is kick off UK time?
First bit of serious racing in months and I really do want to watch it live rather than see the results and then watch the highlights.

You guys are +5 hours East Coast time, right? So that would be 23:00 your time.

Smart move by Nasr to get tested before heading to the track. I didn't recall Chaves running with the team a couple years ago, but glad they got somebody with experience to step in.

What timezone is Daytona in? Is that UTC/GMT -4 ?
(I think so, but confirmation would be nice)

I'm in UTC+2 (Brussels), so that would be a midnight start for me

Daytona is on Eastern time and yes, GMT -4.

5 hour gap with the UK, so 11pm start time.

This offer should still work, NBC IMSA Trackpass for 1 year & for free:

https://www.nbcsports.com/gold/imsa-offer
Promo code: MICHELINIMSA

No autorenew and doesn't even ask for payment info.

Only available in US, but I don't think it shows anything IMSA.com doesn't show (and has NBC comms when possible) and you'd need a VPN anyway.

It worked for me, zero payment info needed and could use a throw away email if desired, didn't need to confirm the account.

Thank you Deggis. Thank you Michelin. Should buy their tires next time you have a flat and need to replace.
