This seems to show that its on IMSA.com from 7-10, no??
Honestly, I know streaming is the way things are going, but I don't like it....I want to be able to record it, watch it later (usually for Sebring it would be Sunday morning). I watch all of Daytona and LeMans over about a month. and I DON'T want to ahve to watch it on my laptop, I'd rather see it on my 60" HDTV....plus...every time I try to stream something, I get constant stoppage, buffering, lock ups, etc.

There are a lot of ways to get it on your big TV. I agree about watching on a computer. I ran an HDMI cable from my laptop to the TV for Daytona and it worked fine. You can watch the races over time with Youtube, in HD with no commercials, but it's uploaded about a week after the race. Its not perfect but it was getting better, until they made this announcement..
I don't find the stream to be as smooth as regular TV. It's ever so slightly choppy. And I've got the super duper FIOs thing. And it cuts out or I have to refresh. It's just not yet a true replacement for TV.
And why on God's green Earth can't any of these outfits design a website? I've spent a good 15 minutes looking for the T&S results from today's practice and finally found the T&S button on only one page, the home page. It's not findable anyplace else on the website. Not in the results section, not on the race information page. Only the home page. It should be a firkin button in the pull downs across the top.
Has anyone figured out how to pay to get streaming video in the app? Sorry if I've missed any earlier messages asking the same thing. I'm completely fine with paying but they don't make it easy! I'm in the US, using iOS.
There is no pay access for these IMSA races. The payment is a monthly cable subscription with the Fox Sports channels. This will allow you to watch the race on TV or stream it via the FoxSportsGo app (requires cable subscription authentication).
GT3 Cup, Continental Tire Sports Car Championship, and GTD/GTLM/PC/P qualifying are still streaming for free via the IMSA app and IMSA site.
It is only the feature races (e.g. 12hrs of Sebring) that will no longer be streamed via any IMSA platform. Only viewable on your TV cable subscription or through FoxSportsGo with authentication of your cable subscription.
Apple App Store and try Ustream. Haven't used it yet but looks promising.
If you're outside of the US, you should still be able to stream all IMSA races via the IMSA app. The IMSA app is available on the Apple and Android app store.
I don't think there is any official IMSA content via the Ustream app. There might be some unofficial IMSA streams tho. Not sure. But it wouldn't surprise me if there were some unofficial sources popping up on Ustream now that IMSA has made the decision to screw over the US market by blocking their stream in the US.
Pirelli World Challenge does use Ustream for their official race streams. Just fire up the app right before (or during) a race and search "Pirelli" or "World Challenge."

I'll watch the stream on IMSA.com between 7-10 PM today...
Don't have a cable subscription to use the Fox app...
