Rolex 24 roll call, who's going? I'll be driving down Wednesday evening or Thursday morning race week at the latest. Looking forward to our group compound as well as meetup with Brian, Pelican member, bell.

I have a life goal wanting to meet Baz while I am in the area, too much in common!

I'm going to the Roar on Saturday.

The Rolex on Thursday morning. Last year I arrived at 3:00 am and the line to get into the infield was already back to the traffic lite.

I’m going to the Roar on Friday. I’ll be flagging the 24 on Saturday and Sunday.

And the 19th manufacturer to enter IMSA competition (Michelin Pilot Challenge) is .... Cupra! Say what? Spanish subsidiary of Seat who is, in turn, owned by VW and are planning to enter the US market with EVs at some point in the future.

It's going to take a few races to not think of the Hertz cars as Porsches!

[William930t]

Yes, there's quite a bit of IMSA driver, manufacturer and sponsor swapping this year, most notably in GTP.

I will ask again , is the Roar televised ? I can't find any TV listing's online .

[CurtEgerer]

As far as I can tell, the answer is no. Other than the VP Racing Challenge on Sat. Everything that is on is on Peacock.

Trigger warning: Leigh 'They're 10-wide coming into turn 2!!!!!!' Diffey is still on the team for IMSA races

I like the new Lamborghini livery. An improvement over last year.

The Pfaff Lambo looks good too!

[astrochex]

I like that Pfaff is running a Lambo. They are one of the best teams so if anyone can get speed out of the car, they can.

Super bummer news from Shea Adam, possibly the best pit reporter ever, https://x.com/GearboxGirl/status/1879669502687998017?mx=2

Rain being predicted for this weekend. A wet Roar.

I read today that Townsend Bell lost 2 homes in the LA fires and is scheduled to drive the #14 Lexus GTD Pro at Daytona as well as do his normal announcer duties for NBC/Peacock.

Thanks Paul!!

I may have found a lifeline for those of us who aren't there .... Radio Le Mans. Trying to figure out if they're there live or what.
