The race itself was pretty darn good! It was the coverage that sucked. If they just let the commentator (sounded British) speak with out the other BS it would have been better, but the promotions and NFL wayback machine guy brought it waaaay down. Watch it on the link given earlier..

So it's not just me. I thought that the actual race got rained out or something and that they re-hashing last year's race. That was just awfull !!!. Indeed like a NFL films superbowl film. WTF indeed

There was a thread over on Off Topic that pointed out the crew that did it WAS from/affiliated with NFL Films. They're also the outfit that did the "Truth in 24" Audi thing.
I didn't bother to record it, as I'd heard from someone beforehand how it was going to be presented.

I loved the broadcast in americanlemans.com, no commercials, the announcer is good too.
Goodbye Speed & especially CBS, from now one will watch all the ALMS action via their web site.
What a great race!!! Best endurance race in US this season.

Sorry to buck the trend here, but I liked the broadcast. I enjoyed all of the radio communications, and the different perspective on a race for a change of pace. I also really liked the "Truth in 24", perhaps no one else here did.
This year's Laguna Seca ALMS race was also done this way. My only real complaint about the occaisional use of this format is the one week delay.

CBS SUCKS!
This is second ALMS coverage that CBS did this way(Laguna Seca, this year) and it SUCKS!![nono](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/nono.gif)
"Truth in 24" I'd actually liked but that was because it was 24hrs of Le Mans coverage.
PLEASE!!!
