There is a race this weekend. Discuss.

What's everyone's strategy for not being able to watch it live? Watch bits and pieces and keep up in real time? Or watch until you can't, record and come back to where you left off when you can? Or wait and ignore it all completely day-of and watch imsa replay in full with rlm commentary the whole way?

Wish I could be there this year. Hope to in next couple years again.

In times when I can't sit down for the whole race, I watch what I can live, and check live timing on my phone when away from the TV. I usually use the alkamel live timing aggregator link which doesn't seem to be a working link at the moment.

This method communicates to others around me that there is still a race going on whether you're having a baby or not, and it's not so unimportant that I'll just forego watching the bits and pieces I can fit in.

Glad to see no rain on Thursday and Friday, so we can get proper comparison of lap times across IMSA and WEC. Look forward to comparing: 1) LMP1 privateer vs DPI 2) GTE Pro vs GTLM 3) GTE am vs GTD

I'm quite interested in the WEC P2 class compared to DPi. Since DPi competed head on with P2 cars last year, and aren't meant to compete with WEC P1 this year. We'll know soon enough.

With the first Pilot Challenge session complete, best 2019 time is over a second faster than best 2018 Conti Challenge FP1 time.

I'm thinking the many WEC miles over the last 10 days has improved the track surface for the early practice sessions as well.

I'm going to guess the DPIs get into the 1:45s. A couple seconds quicker than last year seems reasonable. Seems like there's internet issues at the track so no live coverage for now.

First on track session is ongoing. With 40 minutes left the leader is 31 just under a 1:47. Porsche leads gt with a 1:56.9

Dpi slightly faster than wec's lmp2. GTLM a half second faster than GTE.

I just checked the WEC top P2 car in practice. It would be 3rd as I write this on the IMSA practice session.

I really wish the DPi's could be made a Little faster. Mind you it does not have to be the speed of the LMP1 cars, but within a couple of seconds would be nicer. The time difference as they stand now makes IMSA's prototypes look down right slow.

This is an ongoing conversation point here. But since they aren't on track with the LMP1 cars, do they really look slow?

Also, they have had 1 practice session, they will likely improve laptimes. Plus they are P2 based cars so that should be the comparison, not vs P1.

If they left lmp2 alone, it'd be just as fast as the 'sped up' DPi. When they separated the two, I thought they'd make DPi a good bit faster than what lmp2 is actually capable of. But when you look at the wec's lmp2 times it seems kind of like their reasoning behind separating the two wasn't because lap times or DPi's being 'held back'. Interesting to see GTLM is quicker than GTE but that's probably the BOP differences.

Practice starts out with a red flag. But still got time to go. I expect times to drop vs first session, but we'll see how much. I'm going out on a limb and saying Caddy will be fastest

Very weird how the radio on both IMSA.com and RLM are synced but do not coincide with the on track action. RLM is correct on RS3 for the WEC sessions?

Final practice ends with both Acura's topping the timesheet in DPi, and an Acura tops in GTD as well. Porsche maintained control in GTLM but the times are sure to fall in 30 minutes when qualifying starts.

I think a low 1:46 will take pole overall, and a low 1:56 in GTLM
