^^ Agreed. Watching the All Star races the week before Charlotte are actually kinda fun to watch - all out sprints for 30 minutes or so... I'd love to see IMSA do something like this for a couple races a year. Keep the endurance races (Daytona, Sebring, Glen, Petit) and mix it up with 2 or 3 multi-race weekends interspersed with the other races.

the crazy thing about that is how hard it is to see/look past the car in front and get your marks when you are up someone's @ss for that long

Great show and lots of heart in that 20 year old driver.

Those guys almost never take each other out. They are true sportsmen. They also get a guaranteed penalty if the crash out a competitor. Great drovers.
I would add BTCC to that list of great racing to watch. Can't wait ot see Civic Estate cars on track

Make sure you watch through to the 5:30 mark and onwards for the interview with the young kid who took 2nd. Such a wide open unguarded reaction and have to love the line at 6:20. This kid is actually a Kiwi (New Zealander) and a Jandal is their form of what we call a Thong. (ie common bit of basic rubber footwear in warm conditions.) "I don't know what happened there. I just plucked it in 1st, gave it some Jandal and **** yeah..Whoops, sorry" haha

Extremely promising young driver and an amazing 1st up result for the Volvo team in this series. That car sounds different (great) also from the other V8's. Good package.
