In a world where people are dumping cable subscriptions in favour of streaming video... this has to be one of the dumbest, out of touch decisions in car racing... excluding 98% of FIA/FOM decision in F1, the recent Indy car bodies, the Lambo cheating asshattery.... well... errr... wow, what is going on?
I am cancelling my cable this week, just because we rarely watch it anymore and I would rather use the money for gas, brakes, and tires. Also, the kids should be outside playing with asbestos brake dust, sniffing gas in bags, and starting large tire fires...

I just watch IMSA on Youtube, it gets uploaded about a week after the race. Several other sportscar series are Youtube too (Continental challenge, Pirelli World Challenge, TransAM, etc) .I watch WRC highlights on the Redbull app. Thinking about getting the Motortrend app for $6/mo, it has DTM, touring cars, and a bunch of other good stuff from Europe.

Like it or not, racing is a business. If you were Fox, and paying a lot of money to IMSA for the broadcast rights, why would you allow IMSA to broadcast for free? I would bet A LOT of money this was not IMSA's decision.

I did not know this. Thanks for the info. I really miss Au V8 SC. Do they stream in HD?
I don't know if this killed ALMS, but it turned me off. I need to record the races and watch them during off hours. This chit with no TV coverage of US races makes me believe the future is not bright for auto racing here. Very small fan base.

When ALMS was taken off the air for a 3 year contract I knew right then it was doomed. And it's gone.
If you can't watch watch the race what good is it to the sponsors?
