Not a fan of this format. Maybe trying to get new viewers but not liking it.

Been watching it to see one of my favorite series at one of my favorite racetracks.......finally had to turn it off. Simply the worst race presentation I've ever seen.

Sorry guys I thought is was regular race coverage. On the plus side the video quality is nice. That was nice of Porsche to sponsor the Mazda ad.

I was think'n NFL films myself.

If anyone wants to watch the whole race online, with excellent commentary from John Hindhaugh, you can get the entire 3.5 hour broadcast at americanlemans.com. Click on the link below the Falken banner.

WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched it for maybe 30 minutes and the turned it off, what a screw up...

At this point I will take any alternative to the 24/7 Nascar Channel (Speed). Worked fine for me

I was a little bummed that I was going to miss this because I was heading out to the track to spectate today's PCA race. Sounds like I missed nothing and was better off watching the amateurs...

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..
