Rolex 24 2016

[afx]

Fox Sports is covering the event but they bounce coverage back and forth between FS1 and FS2 - I hate that.  How are you planning on watching?

    I record what is covered on TV (looks to be ~12 hours of the Race + some talk) and watch Saturdays coverage in a block starting ~8 or 9PM, then finish off Sunday after I get up.

Only what's on the Internet, forget subscription TV prices. I'm strictly broadcast and Internet.

......Two races a year I will not miss...Rolex 24 at Daytona and  24 at Le Mans......

[Gt fan]

If you look on some of the teams websites they offer there in car. It cool if you get two up at the same time. Last year Porsche offered it for Le Mans. You could switch from car to car. Flying lizards has it though there Facebook page.

Ford GT is fast. Bummer both cars had gearbox issues so early.

The Deltawing car was running strong, but unfortunately, they had to retire after an unfortunate collision with a stalled car in the middle of turn one.

Great race so far.  Battles in almost every class.

Great race, especially the GTLM Corvettes lead-swapping on the last lap.

Watched about as much of the race as I would have if I'd been there...from a much better vantage point. I love the internet.

I would have loved to see the new Ford GT on the podium, or at least finish, but the original GT 40 had its share of teething problems in the beginning too.

   All in All a really good Daytona 24 Hour Race. Except for Prototype Challenge which I sometimes wonder just what slot they fill in endurance racing. I as really sorry to see the Delta wipeout once again. It was looking like they finally had a real shot at not only finishing, but also Winning!

   Let's hope some of that Honda Tech is transfered to their F-1 McLaren effort..........

I agree Ed the PC class is so uninteresting and a waste of grid space.  Now that IMSA has adopted FIA GT3 regulations we are seeing the GTD class swell.  I think they should drop the PC class to make more room for GTD and GTLM cars.

Glad no one was hurt in the accident but frankly I was happy the DeltaWing didn't finish. I certainly don't want to see more of these style cars on the grid.

   Better Delta Cars than E Cars! I look at the Delta as the 21st Century version of the AVS Shadow, except they've had time to develop their car and started with a cockpit a Driver could "work" in. As to PC, well were it mine to choose I'd go with a P2 type formula. Limit HP/CI and let the chips fall where they may. The Majors could use it for Chassis Development or new Engine ideas, and the Privateers could buy prior years developmental cast offs which could lead to some fun Racing. I Frankly just don't care for Spec Racers running in top level Racing. Heck even GTD has Car choices and some Team Latitude.
