im going to go out on a limb and suggest that the World Challenge series , this year, might actually be more fun to watch, more exciting, more exciting cars, then Tudor.

they have some wicked machines coming on board. mclaren, lambos, ferrari, porsche GT3Rs, caddy. some really good drivers, some of whom would be tops in Tudor though obviously Tudor has more depth in that top 1/3. But it shoudl be super exciting.

well, not sure if it will be better racing ,but its going to be fantastic to watch with the broad range of zooty zoom zzoom cars. like watching FIA GT1 or GT3. thats pretty fun to watch less the pokey pit stops.

lots of good racing this year here in the USA.

 

I am a fan! It would be nice if the broadcast schedule were easier to follow.

 

Looking forward to watching in 14.

 

Since WSC ditched the Toyos for real tires 2 years ago the series has been incredibly fun to watch even on their ****ty feeds. They'll need to step up their live TV if they want to compete with Tudor...

 

definitely going to be fun to watch. both classes at that. looking forward to seeing what jack baldwin will do in his cayman this year. he was so close to winning the championship last year

 

Bring back SPEED VISION! France family would not let it happen.

 

This is awesome, but expected. Tudor was not built to handle all of ALMS and all of Grand-Am. So now we have Tudor and World Challenge instead of ALMS and Grand-Am. I like it. Especially now that the Porsches are competitive again, the GT class battle with be some furious competition between Corvette, Porsche, Viper and BMW with Ferrari posing a threat. I like the fact that we still will have two major series to watch now that World Challenge has been revived.

 

PWC is going to be superb this year.

IMSA/TUSC really screwed up with the "GTD" rules package instead of just accepting GT3 right out of the box.

 

Should be a great season with all of the new machinery out there. Acura is going GT, Kpax with McLarens, Reiter Lamborghinis, in addition to all of the others. I love endurance racing but you can't beat the excitement of a sprint race. No pit stops, no driver changes, just ***** out racing.

 

and standing starts to boot

 

Love everything about WC except the TV coverage.

Turn-by-turn announcer Greg Creamer makes everything sound like it's the biggest and the fastest and the brightest. He reminds me of a small-time oval track public-address announcer. Absolutely breathless with his irritating screechiness. "Oh, look at THAT!!!!." "Ooooohhhhhhh, nooooooo." He hates dead air, is determined to never stop talking.

Color guy Calvin Fish is knowledgeable, but he speaks in one long-flowing sentence that can drone on for hours...connected by occasional "so's" to keep Creamer from interrupting.

And the series inserts pre-taped "reports" that are nothing more than packaged infomercials for race sponsors. I'm sure it makes sponsors happy, but the things are so blatantly commercial, they test the viewer's patience.

Here's hoping the NBC Sports Network won't let them continue to get away with this blatant product placement disguised as "information." It strips the broadcast of credibility.

Creamer and Fish. The only worse pairing was Will Buxton and Jerome D'Ambrosio on last year's GP2 coverage.

 

Sports car wars wars wars. /TRUCKASAURUS voice.

 

+1

 

To do so they'd only need to go live for about 10 minutes of every race.

 

One of the reasons PWC has turned into such fun racing to watch is the money sponsors pay PWC to market the brands. The bills need to be paid or there is no series. Understanding the dynamic, I will tolerate the infomercials or just simply hit FF. The price is worth the prize.

NBC isnt going to do anything, they understand the importance of commercials and of having PWC in there line up.
