I'll be live with tonight with GTRain talking IMSA at Long Beach and WEC at Imola, drop it and check it out at 8pm EDT! czcams.com/users/liveuz1X5LrwC1E?si=CrCD2nvulZmBaIuC
Will do! Look for my questions :-)
@@WyldStallion-bs9oo thanks for dropping by last night!!
Can’t waittttt
Funny thing is that Long Beach has the same class structure this week as the WEC Imola race. GTP is essentially hypercar. GTD Am is essentially LMGT3. But in a sprint format. I look forward to this race. Amazingly all 11 GT3 manufacturers in the series this year still has at least 1 car represented there. Plus an Audi R8 at the GT America race to boot. I have no interest in Indycar myself. But if I was attending the Long Beach race as a sportscar fan exclusively. Stick around for Sunday for the GT Am race guys.
Interesting to point that out, I hadn't thought that IMSA and the WEC would have the same format this weekend! I also echo those comments about GT America, looking forward to watching them as well!
Great preview Stu! Long Beach was one of the best races last year, and I am so excited for it!
Thanks Jonah! Even though it's the shortest race of the season it's like they still manage to pack all of the excitement of a normal race into 100 mins!
Nice video. I'm looking forward to this race. Keep up the good work.
FD was great last weekend, so I can't wait for the double header of IMSA and Indy this weekend🔥
I'll be here for the watchalong Stu!🎉
Sadly no watchalong this weekend but it should be back for Laguna Seca!
@@offintheesses Aw man, well, I'll see yall at Laguna then💚🦖
Nice video. We are going this weekend and this helped get the family up to speed
Hope you guys have a great time! Should see some really good racing with all the series that are there!
🏎️🏁
It's a crime GTD pro isn't racing this weekend- the Pfaff redemption arc has to happen asap
Redemption arc starts at Laguna!
Why'd you have to do me like that with that first clip :(
I'm sorry, they can get their redemption this weekend!
@@offintheesses I hope so! Will unfortunately have to miss qualifying, timezones and all!
So excited for Long Beach and the Porsche 963. Will you be attending??
Sadly I won't be attending this year, I really hope that I will be able to make it out there one day! It's a long trip for me from Toronto!
Flying Lizard Motorsports is not racing a Porsche now. I'm noticing a lot the former Porsche teams going to other manufacturers. Has Porsche dropped the support of the GT3 cars in favorite for the GTP/LMDh cars?
This isn't them leaving Porsche because of their LMDh, they have been running loads of different manufacturers for the last 10 years mainly Audis. They ran Audis at Daytona in 2014-2016, ran a Ferrari in thier latest Le Mans appearance in 2014. They have run Audis, Bentley and Lambos in SRO America.
Also with other teams leaving Porsche like Proton and Pfaff that is less Porsche focusing on their LMDh but more so their are more manufacturers wanting to run their factory teams through them like McLaren didn't have a GTD Pro team before this year and Ford weren't even in GT3.
And Porsche would focus more on their GT3 customers than LMDh, that's where Porsche makes their money racing through customers buying their cars and GT3 is the most popular class in racing, they would keep it a high priority no matter what else is going on in racing.
Max made some great points and I also want to point out that it was difficult to get your hands on a new Porsche GT3, they halted manufacturing at one point last year due to parts shortages
Yeah, the part shortages did hit hard, and more so on some manufacturers. I forgot about the Audi they ran for a year or two in IMSA. I just remember the red and silver Porsche for many years with the huge dragon looking logo.
There really aren't many Porsche in top series other than SRO Asia and Australia now. Only 2 or 3 in IMSA and SRO America combined. WEC, ELMS and SRO Europe have a few more than USA. It used to be, if you weren't a works team, you were running a Porsche in GT.
Acura/Lexus wins. The worst possible outcome.
IMSA f****ing up Porsche while giving Cadillac and Acura an extra push with their rubbish BoP system. What else is new??? 🤦🏼♂️
