You have to have an NBC Sports Network subscription to watch the stuff on the app, which to me is worse because it means you are paying monthly for cable or a premium streaming platform like Sling. If they let me pay $50 a year flat for IMSA (or IndyCar), I would.

Yeah if I could pay ~50 a year to get all the IMSA races uninterrupted like the global stream, I'd be all over it.

Seems like a good solution for a lot of things.

I remember there being at least 1 good race last year at Macau in amongst the red flag pile ups.

On top of all this, there's talk that NBC may also be in on the rights to Supercross once the deal with FOX ends.

NBC already has a lot on its plate with IMSA and Indycar having priority during Supercross season. They definitely can't afford the time to carry all the supercross events live, which I hope I'm wrong about.

The first race is in two months, so there isn't much time to get a new deal. I would half expect it to wind up on CBS Sports Network for a year while they sort things out.

The Macau touring car race is red flagged because someone’s tire exploded and then two more people crashed following the safety car

But the current top five drivers are WON HIN POO FUN FUN so that’s something

Also the 3rd place starter never made the grid after he drove out of the pits on the gridding lap and crashed heavily.

Reading from one source that the two riders who crashed at the bike race today do not have life-threatening injuries, so that’s nice.

Generally the best thing you can say about the Macau bike race is "no one actually died as such ", although there are conflicting stories about the guy who crashed on Thursday suffering severe head trauma.

According the FIA she's conscious which is completely not what I expected to read having seen that.

A serious incident has occurred on lap 4 of the 2018 FIA F3 World Cup at Macau involving car #25 Sophia Flörsch (GER).

Following evaluation by medical staff, the driver is conscious and has subsequently been taken to hospital for further evaluation.

Motorsport has some extremely positive news: https://www.motorsport.com/f3/news/floersch-spinal-fracture-macau-injury-report/3216291/

Spinal fracture is obviously not good but they don't make it sound as serious as it could be.

Robots confuse squirrels.


The more worrying thing is what apparently caused it.

quote:

Ferrari junior Guan Yu Zhou, who was following Floersch at the time of the accident, explained that it was due to yellow caution lights flashing on the straight.

“First of all it was such a scary moment,” said the Prema Powerteam driver, who was making his way through the pack after a crash in the qualification race and an engine change relegated him to 28th and last on the grid. “Coming after Mandarin [the preceding right-hand kink], I saw the yellow, but I think it was just a mistake by the organisers’ station. Sophia was really close to Jehan, so when Jehan braked early she had no time to react. She hit Jehan’s right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. I just hope she’s OK.”

The incident was investigated by the stewards, who ruled that "no individual drive was wholly or predominantly responsible for the collision".

The current car doesn't have a halo so it's clearly not required...
