9 hours of WEC race is more exciting than 2 hours of F1 race
Absolutely and it’s not even close.
Yes lol
2 hours of WEC race are still more exciting than 9 hours of F1 racing
Imagine being an ignorant and trying to compare an endurance series with a formula series 😂😂😂 what great hot takes you people make 😂
Yeah I turned off Bahrain 5 laps in lol. It's insane how much better WEC is than F1 currently
I'm a Porsche fan, but a shame for Peugeot for having lost the podium in such a lethal way, I hope they have a chance in Imola ❤️💯
I´m a Porsche fan too, Peugeot would have deserved it. It was a flashback at the Toytoa Drama 2016 in Le Mans.
So am I but hoping Peugeot really come back in Imola
New 9X8 2024-spec next race!!
Yeah it was quite a shame. They've worked hard for results like that and then you see how cruel racing can be sometimes. Go Porsche 🤙
Same. Pug really deserved that podium. Even as an Aussie, #5 had its chance and started from pole. The wingless 9X8 was cursed to the very last lap.
I swear Peugeot will win Le Mans this year.
11:30 "No power. No power." - Thats exactly what Kaz said in 2016 😭😭😭
Flashbacks ?!
@@rickrolled7930 Yeah it's too soon!! 😢
(even tho it happened 8 years ago 😂😂)
LMP2 ENGINE!
LMP2
ARRRRRRRRRGGGH!
@@AKK5ILol love the Alonso reference
@@AKK5IGP2 engine,, but nowdays hamilton and alonso wants that engine,
That's the type of highlights videos we have always wanted! Keep up with the good work, Mr. Wec!
Agreed
Peugeot #93 for last 2 laps ran out of fuel, Peugeot #94 first lap got inchident with Cadi and knock to last place. So much heart breaking for everyone on Peugeot teams
They aparently ran out of fuel
Really?
Peugeot was holding position then finally start to slow down cuz they have engine problem
They ran out of fuel, there may have been a problem during the refueling, they're still investigating
Yeah it's true, I just checking again on article
@@notliquid1448 the refueling tool somehow not accurate
Peugeot 😢😢
It's being a difficult year for French motorsport.
93 likes for poor Peugeot #93... Let's leave it like this.
It will get better. We know this.
Rossi with the tactical wedgie pull is move of the season so far.
new golden era of endurance racing, like i couldn't sleep because this 9 hour race being more exciting than an f1 race
There is something a little too routine about most F1.
God just stop talking about F1 while watching wec its so disrespectful to the competitors that the only thing you can say about this race is "better than F1"
@nekaa7657 Yeah it's ridiculous. They're completely different and every video, every short, you see F1 mentioned somewhere in the comments
WEC is more fun to watch than F1
You know what?... You actually right😂😂😂saturday's race was a snoozefest, specially when you watch it live.
Brazilian Stock Car racing is more fun to watch than both
where you can watch wec, please? i can't find a website or anything.. thanks a lot!!
@@karolinaslavikova if you're american it's on Motortrend+. If you're not, then in *most* places you can watch it on WEC TV. Of course you can just watch it illegally which is easier.
Agree, wec more manufacturer variations
Great content. WEC really is getting better in every way!
Better than F1 I could say😂
@lazygamer923 in terms of entertainment, definitely
See you at Imola!!!!!!!!!!!!
43 years old, sportscar fan since '87. Never left North America but there was no chance I was going to miss this!!!!!
I was there for Group C and GT1 and this is so much better.
So cool you witnessed the golden ages of sportcars racing
It’s nuts to listen to Kubica saying how many issues they had before the race start with no tyre or brakes warm up, broken radio, so having to remember all the procedures 10 min before the race start, yet keeping the car on track and going up to p5 in first stint. Amazing 😍 Forza Ferrari!
Love these longer highlights, keep up the good content!
We need the extended version. Their was some fascinating overtakes.
It's longer than last year's extended highlights
tough break for Peugeot but that race did a lot for them and their fans. They will be in winners circle very soon.
banger of a race from wec, thanks for not making this f1 weekend totally depressive
The highlights have come such a long way. Congratulations to the media team! So excited for this season, WEC will be great in 2024.
Peugeot 😭 Feel so bad for JEV, to break down two laps from the end
WEC > F1
All day every day
Amen
Damn the glazing🤡 your fia didn't get the enough attention huh? So you're trash talking f1 when both are completely different classes🤡
@@weonsheeshwdym they’re both motorsports and WEC does a much better job at giving us good racing unlike f1
@@niteeshmenon they are complete different breed of vehicles. Are you acoustic? Formulas are different and so is wec since they use hyper and super. And we don't care if WEC is better than f1. All we're seeing is that y'all crying since f1 has more viewers than wec. Cope harder🤡
Thank you WEC for making the deal with Max to show all of the races. I'm glad they are on demand as well because I did have to take a nap or two during the race but I can go back and see what I missed.
More action in the first three laps of this than the entire Bahrain F1
Haha seems like someones fav show didn't get the atttention so he's trash talking f1🤡🥺
There was plenty of action when the Bahrain GP happend.
I cooked a steak with eggs, then I ate them, drank a coffee to that to wash it down, cleaned up my appartment...
@@weonsheesh oh did the little F1 fan get his feelings hurt?
@@mineralwater6736 nah. I should be the one who's asking.... Since you know.... Y'all fia fans are crying in the comments saying "fia>f1🤓"
@@weonsheesh stil upset I see.
WEC deserve more attention!
ポルシェがIMSAとWECの初戦を優勝で飾ったか
LMDh勢が凄い勢いをつけているな
Lmdh are definetly getting faster but the lmh were hit by bop
@@supermantrly
Yes
It was definitely an unfair BOP.
F1 should take notes on this
Kevin Estre drives like a mad man. I know how he drive at Nurburgring. Awesome.
It's exciting to watch.
Yeah good thing Penske hired that man tho
@@diethersantos6404Same with Campbell, the dude is having a great year
Definitely one of my favorite drivers. He's so aggressive and opportunistic but generally keeps it super clean.
I've been to a 24h race at Nurburgring back in 2019, wasn't really familiar with that race , the way that man drove left me in awe. So fast, and he was all in all the time he was driving gaining seconds to the front runners.@@JohnnySnappleseed
What a time to be alive. Hello WEC, passionate fan here 👋. Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but here goes.
Amazing race, amazing cars, great circuit, I’m giddy with excitement for the rest of the season. However, if I may, I would respectfully like to offer some (hopefully constructive) criticism of the TV broadcast. In no particular order:
- The race was 10 hours long, and the Hypercar grid featured 19 cars, but it felt like half the Hypercar grid never made it onto the TV broadcast. Alpine, BMW, Lamborghini, and IF barely got any coverage. I talked with several people on social media before, during, and after the race, new fans who were watching their first ever WEC race, who left a bit disappointed. For example, people who were tuning in specifically to see the new Lambo on track, or Mick Schumacher fans who were keen to follow their favourite driver. I get that it’s a big grid, and it’s a long season, so hopefully these fans will eventually get their fill, but it would be nice to see the broadcast do a more rounded job of showing more of the field. We’ve all spent a long time hyping up Hypercar, both the diversity and the size of the field, but then during the race, it felt like we missed half of the grid.
- Basically the same thing for GT3. Trust me, I get the excitement for Hypercar, but I also talked to a lot of people who were a bit disappointed with the lack of coverage of the GT3 field.
- I think there’s some room to tweak the use of the Picture in Picture feature. It doesn’t work so well when you show on-boards with the Picture in Picture box, because it’s too small to really make anything out. What the Picture in Picture is great for is things like pit lane interviews.
- Speaking of pit lane interviews, we don’t need to cut away from the racing action every time there is an interview. The interview can be audio only, or accompanied by a small Picture in Picture window as mentioned.
- Concerning pit lane and garage footage, it is currently way over the top. The number of times we cut away from cars on track to show random people staring at a TV screen was really unnecessary. It adds nothing of value to the broadcast, and is awkward for everyone involved, both the people on camera, and us fans watching. In particular, there was one moment early in the race where one of the GT drivers had just exited the car, done an interview….and then the camera focused on this exhausted man’s face for WAY too long. It was so unbelievably awkward, to the point that he eventually had to get up and walk away, because neither the camera operator or TV director could seem to take a hint.
- Connected to the points listed above, over the course of the race, it felt like we cut away from on-track action to watch pit crews doing jumping jacks, or get close in shots of pit crew nose hairs, more than we got to see BMW, Alpine, Lambo, and IF combined.
- Hourly recaps are appreciated and have their place within the broadcast. However, the slow motion montages set to cheesy guitar riffs are completely unnecessary. If there happens to be a Safety Car or stoppage in the action, and there is room for filler content, then sure….but not while a live race is taking place.
- I didn’t watch the race on the WEC app myself, but I was in a live chat with many who were, and several times, multiple people were complaining that the app was being very buggy, lagging, and otherwise disrupting their viewing of the race. Please sort this out.
- With all due respect to the wonderful Mr Martin Haven, two things of note. First, he needs to brush up on his knowledge regarding the history of Lexus racing outside of Japan. Lexus competed in their first Daytona 24 Hour in 2002, entered the prototype class in 2004, and from 06-08, won the Daytona 24 Hour three times in a row. They have been a staple in American sports car racing since. In Europe, as far back as 2008, Lexus began entering a race version of their LFA in the Nurburgring 24 Hour. Starting in 2018, Emil Frey began entering a two car effort in the European Blancpain GT3 series with the RCF GT3. I understand that a commentator won’t get everything right during a live broadcast, but honestly found it a bit disappointing that no one in the production team was able to correct Mr Haven on these facts. Second, the snacking in the commentary both needs to end. I understand that Mr Haven prides himself on being this Ironman of commentary, but if he needs to eat a sandwich, please step out of the booth for ten minutes to have your lunch. Many of us listen with headphones, and the lip smacking and throat clearing between bites of sandwich is extremely…well, it’s gross. The co-commentators are extremely capable and experienced, they can hold the fort down while Mr Haven has a bight to eat.
That’s everything I’ve got. Like I said, hopefully this is the right place to leave this, I don’t know where else to write or send these observations lol. Overall, the race was fantastic, and I can’t wait for Imola.
Not the write place but yeah. Racing is awesome, coverage could be better. Mr producer, I need more car noise, better on boards, better timing ladder (including driver, colour coded) and I wanna know what's happening up and down the field.
Where, or how would I express these ideas in a more appropriate way?
Forget it. It took them about 7 years to do highlights for 6 hour races longer than 3 minutes long.
Half of your points are nit picking. I thought the coverage was actually good and well balanced between the teams and classes considering their relative importance or standing in the race.
@@mr8I7it’s not about their relative importance in regards to position in the race. It’s about the fact it’s a brand new era with many new teams and cars. Unless a person does their own research on the side, many fans know nothing about all the new entries, and we barely learned anything about them from this race. The race was 10 hours long, it’s not like they were short on time to be able to show more of BMW, Alpine, Lambo, and IF.
You may call it nitpicking, but that’s how you slowly improve a product. Many, many people on various platforms were let down by the coverage. Many, many people find the close ups of nose hairs and face pimples, repetitive jumping jacks, and cheesy slow motion montages completely unnecessary, adding nothing of value to the overall production. Would you rather see a Lambo or Alpine on screen, or a close up of a random person uncomfortably staring at a TV screen?
“The ecstasy and the agony, because this too is Sport” - Profound words indeed! 🙄
wec > F1
Nah mate Mazda MX 5 CUP, IMSA, SST, WRC, FIA Formula E, WEC, MotoGP, Super GT, Brazilian Stock Car Racing, Porsche Carrera Cup/Supercup >>>>>>>>>>>> F1
You forgot indy mate@@diethersantos6404
🤡
Very excited for these highlight videos
More GT3s for future please
Mercedes and audi?
If they sending their hypercar
But the Audi is going out of production this year
@@caledonianrailway1233 I was thinking about more coverage of GT3s in race and highiights
@@Arcix37 oh my mistake
Good to see Kevin Estre on podium🎉
Was there at Lusail, it was simply magical! 😊😊
Thank you WEC! 🙏🙏🙏
@MJsDailyMotivation
lucky lad!
i’d love to see a real race as well.
😁glad u enjoyed, must b an xperience 🔥!
Lucky! :D
6 Hours of Imola - April 21, let's go!!!
Nice, put more content please!
Great highlights, hoping all the races this season have these good highlights
I'm not a fan of this track but you can tell this seasons gonna be the best one in a long time
15 minutes highlight feels good
Fantastic start to the 2024 season!
Oh so much more fun than F1!!!!
WEC going to be a blast this year 🔥hope it gains more and more fans
Felt sad for the Peugeot. But anyways...
This. Is. Pure. Racing
And cool drone flyby with the cars
great to see also GT3 more in focus in the highlights. Unbelievable how much action took place in first 10 rounds only...WEC is truly king
Great race.
Welcome the new era of wec is awesome very competity the best exits and blessings
Love the GT cars, they look great 👍🙂
What a race!!
Esta temporada será increíble!
it was aLong race. but, Awesome Racing action.
Excellent stuff! WEC has surpassed F1.
Loving how competitive the peugeot cars are with that wild look
It will be a legendary Le Mans. I can't wait to be there.
Good job with the highlights. Big improvement from last year! Keep it up. Minimum 16 minutes please 🙏
Amazing
12:42 that was very tough to watch live 😥 After 9 hours on the podium I feel bad for them
For the first time, I felt I am no longer a fan of a single constructor, but all these teams! I mean every car just looks fabulous isn't it.
Don't they! Isn't it! does not make sense in that sentence.
And hopefully more manufacture Will come
@@MJ-YT-USRwe’re here for a good time, not for an English lesson
@@Bncxx1275 I think Aston Martin is on their way 👀
Sports car racing is clear
awesome highlights and omg what devastation for some in the end!
Great video! Enjoyed every second of it. Point of feedback: sometimes it is not clear who is racing who for what position, though there sometimes is that info with in depth side information. Could that be applied to every battle that is being viewed?
Pretty cool.
Epic, new viewer
What a race.
Highly enjoyable race, well done Porsche! Season ahead is looking fantastic.
Was devastated when the Peugeot started to slow with that what a race !
No more F1 for me. This was incredibly exciting! Looking forward to the next race!!!!!
Bye bye
Those hypercars look so gorgeous :>
WEC >>>>>>> F1
The King is back ,on the road to the 20 Lemans trophy
Make BOP fair.
Damn after all these year they still not figure it out
Shut up toyota
I prefer Wec 🚗 over F1 🏎️
Aren't we all
These are extremely great looking cars even more than F1
Feel so bad for Peugeot 😢 and congratulations kevin estre 🎉
Loving the expanded hypercar class. Miss the LMP2 class though!
Great showing from the Heart of Racing Team with a 2nd in GT3. I'm more familiar with them IMSA Sports Car Championship in GTD Pro and GTD. Also Cadillac getting 5th is quite considering how large the field is.
Damn, that was an opener. I kinda miss the LMP2s, but this was a good one for sure
Hello, could you add Turkish subtitle choice? I love WEC. Thank you!
Man Peugeot had such a bad luck this race, they did almost everything right and it hit them the hardest, I hope they can come back and break this car's curse.
I hate to say it but, this has been more entertaining than a certain single-seater race in which a certain driver always wins.
How is that entertaining ? Except the peugeot mistakes literally nothing happens LMAO
Pežo izgleda odlično
BOP is Balance of Politic?
Agreed
10/10
VEM 6 HORAS DE SÃO PAULO!!!! 🇧🇷🏁🇧🇷
Please make WEC & IMSA the Pride of Motorfans 🙏🙏🙏
I think I'll just watch WEC than F1 despite how long the races can be
Goo Mick
GREAT HIGHLITS!!! KEEP GOING LIKE THIS!
Better than F1! Perfekt Racing
Amazing to see former MotoGP and F1 drivers racing in WEC, just looking for a proper non-corrupt racing league, im just proud of them, hope they succeed in the later future!
Wish highlights were longer than 15 mins for a 9 hour race
Porsche is back❤
this race without dutch national anthem😍
More action in one event than f1 will get all year.
Boost on Porsche🎉
For that highlight video, I stop f1 and start watching WEC. Keep these long highlight videos please!!!
This will be my go to. F1 is just a stacked endeavour right now
So many F1 (and MotoGP!) drivers and 9h of fun :D
You could call it F0, as its the next stage for F1 drivers.
The bop is favoring the Porsche way to much, the hell.
ive recently started watching and i have to this far more entertaning than f1
A little bit sad for Toyota Gazoo... ;-(
