I didn't realise Daytona wasn't gonna be on Motors TV here in the UK so I'm bodging together a computer to play it on my TV instead of my tiny laptop screen like I usually end up doing. Is #nascar the official IRC channel for us to idle in while watching?

That's the channel I was going to use since I think it's typically the go to channel.

aaaand Kanaan goes into the Garage. Great night for Ford!

What's more impressive is when you have 4-5 cars within 10-15 seconds of each other in the last couple hours, as was the case a couple years ago. Think it was the 01, 02, 10 and...maybe the Action Express car.

Casey Atwood. Joey Logano. Sage Karam can wind up like one of them- either a washout or a success after regrouping somewhat and finding a new gear.

I get that Atwood got a bit of a bum deal from Evernham in the end, but both of those two stick out as getting hype like Karam.

I had to DVR BTCC and there was some softball draft or something live on CBSSN, so I'm going to have to wait to Saturday to catch Race 3 and probably the end of Race 2, but I love this series.

The first lap of Race 1, the battle for the lead on lap two of Race 2 effectively ending the days of both leaders, the marshal running out to pick up the debris with cars approaching rapidly. :allears:

If anybody keeps forgetting Formula E exists (like me), apparently you can watch the races on demand somewhere on Time Warner Cable. While talking TV, if you're in the US and DVRing BTCC, set the program following it to record as well, because there's been CBSSN fuckery on both airings of Brands Hatch so far.

Also, Wayne Taylor Racing. :hellyeah:

And :lol: GTLM. That was a hell of a plot twist.

I was a fan of the DP class when it was Rolex and was never interested in ALMS before the merger, but have slowly become more interested in GT under the IMSA merger, especially GTLM. That could be because the prototype class seems to be dying slowly, with only Action Express (formerly Brumos), WTR, and Spirit of Daytona of all teams (which, to their credit, have become a factor after being a backmarker in the 2000s) being the last teams standing from Rolex DP (Shank is still around, but they changed to the ALMS body style).

I remember when DP had 17-18 full-time cars in 2007 and 2008. Even a few years ago, they still had a bunch of cars and nearly all of them got a win (whatever year they last ran Indianapolis. 2013?).
