Looks like the race got bumped off of TV and you have to watch it with the subscription track pass.

Never mind, it is on NBC sports at my house, but the IMSA website lists it as track pass only

And GTD leads in GTLM in to Turn 1

Looks like Jordan got back around Heistand in the 39

Sweet. 5 mins of racing before the first ad break. Figure this out, please NBC. Utterly ridiculous.

And a FCY per timing...

Edit - back to ads
Porsche should've done better.

broadrun96 · 12 Jun 2021, 22:17 (Ref:4056018)

5 min? Damn the director must have been yelling for a break that long. And caution under commercial so that's sweet

Good, another break so that's nice.

That was terrible, both tv and driving standards from both Ams there.

TheMightyM · 12 Jun 2021, 22:19 (Ref:4056019)

I know why it’s on the calendar but I can really do without this race…

canaglia · 12 Jun 2021, 22:21 (Ref:4056020)

wasn't GM going to announce 2023 lmdh plans during detroit race weekend?

broadrun96 · 12 Jun 2021, 22:22 (Ref:4056022)

Hey, did you know Michelin tires aren't all the same? Cause I didn't so I feel better not seeing racing but learning so much about tires

I love Bib! And at least they did it under caution.

I get it but I like it. Think it should be a GT only race tho.

fieldodreams79 · 12 Jun 2021, 22:29 (Ref:4056025)

Nevermind!

broadrun96 · 12 Jun 2021, 22:29 (Ref:4056026)

Nothing against Bib but that one was terrible. And the director should be left in Detroit to cover anything else other than racing. Put up FCY when Montecalvo went off track to rotate and recover, no flag shown

I hadn't been keeping up but NHL ad means I want Islanders/Habs in the final.

Incident responsibility for that is GARBAGE officiating, where did they want him to go? Magically jump in the air? I'll catch up on a bad Sox game this afternoon

We won't have to worry about this next year as NBC sports will not exist!

Maelochs · 12 Jun 2021, 22:56 (Ref:4056032)

But ... does this mean we won't have John Hindhaugh, Jeremy Shaw, et al as an option? And will Peacock use the same inept coverage model?

Peacock = NBC, so 'yes' on that question.

fieldodreams79 · 12 Jun 2021, 23:42 (Ref:4056034)

Ugg. Late FCY for the second time today. Commercial time!!

fieldodreams79 · 12 Jun 2021, 23:52 (Ref:4056035)

Corvette 1,2 in GTLM

I would not at all be surprised to see Peacock use RLM audio and a base feed if nothing else than to save on production costs. I can't see them being dumb enough to go to Peacock Plus and charge but dumber things have been done. I think the NBC guys are all angling for 2022 jobs and hopeful they get to keep with commentary.

Sounds like we could have skipped the race and just let the quali results stand and we could all save 100 minutes and a few broken cars.

It took me awhile to finish watching the race as I had recorded it, and it was somewhat entertaining. Great to see a new winner overall and in GTD. But it led me to the question of how does the Ganassi car not have any sponsorship?

Yes, there's a new winner in GTD — Heart of Racing gets the win after the #39 Audi was found in post race tech to have a too fast refueling time.

Oh no, that has to be heart breaking for the team. Especially given the lack of success Audi have had the past couple of years.

Was not needed. They were the best car. No matter, I still consdier the #39 Audi the winner of the race. Heistad had a heck of start. Reminded me of Jon Field in the past. Running ahead of the Corvettes there for a little bit. Granted I doubt the Corvette guys ran that hard.

I had to pinch myself to see if i was dreaming but nope. Dawson racing is back! Ben Devlin is one of the drivers too, if that wasn't enough of a blast from the past!

Is there such a thing as June Fools Day?
