Imsa/wec 2025
Lets go sportscar racing fans.
I meant to capitalize the acronyms, I really did. Will Porsche have another memorable year? |
|
Porsche/Penske now know enough about their package to be able to fine tune it . The little things can make a difference . But no teams stand still they all are looking for an advantage . I don't think there will be one dominant manufacturer this year the skill level is so close . But consistent performance will win the championship .
GT3 I am hoping Rexy can pull off the championship. Team has been together a long time and their chassis knowledge is well proven . I am also looking forward to see how the Iron Dames do in their new Porsche . My sleeper pick is Pfaaf Motorsport , they are solid and know a lot more about the McLaren. |
Pfaff switched things up again and will run a Lamborghini Hurcan for 2025. 3 different manufacturers in 3 years! :rolleyes:

I wonder if it has something to do with McLaren's rumored GTP program? If McLaren is coming in, they'd want a team to run the GTP and GTD cars. Maybe that team is already chosen or Pfaff didn't want that big a program?
|
Where are you guys watching these races? They are hard to find.
|
IMSA - everything pretty much on Peacock. WEC is on Max/BR
|
Link to IMSA coverage, a blend of streaming and network. Looks like some races are left out. https://www.imsa.com/weathertech/tv-streaming-schedule/
|
Good to know thanks!
|
Matt, all IMSA races are on Peacock/NBC/USA. Some stuff is also available on IMSA.tv and/or their YouTube channel. WEC was on Motortrend TV last year. I'm not sure about this year, but need to take a look.
|
To follow racing TV coverage I like the website TVracer.com . Very user friendly and easy to read .
|
Speaking of Pfaff, their 992 GT3R Sebring winner is up for sale by Andretti Global (Andretti ran the car last year.)

Looking forward to enjoying several brats at road america again and cheering on the hometown team. ( AO )

18 days until the 24 Hours of Daytona !!!
|
The ROAR is in 10 days.
|

BoP for the Roar, a two-stage system, https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/imsa-sets-roar-bop-two-stage-system-confirmed/.

Interesting entry to watch in GTD - Trackhouse Corvette. I think it's a one-off for the R24 only. No shortage of driving talent: Shane van Gisbergen, Connor Zilisch, Scott McLaughlin and Ben Keating.

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! |
Is the ROAR televised ?

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. |

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!

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

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. RADIO LE MANS |
