Amazing.

Figured I'd post this as a reminder for timing. There is a timing71 extension for Chrome. When you access the alkamel timing website site using chrome browser, you'll get a "Launch Timing" option. This will give you access to adjusting the delay to sync with whatever video source you're using, edit columns, and usually have access to race control messages.

Mine popped up earlier this week and the window opened, but the actual page failed to load....hopefully it was a bug that got worked out and not a "me" problem.

Edit-looks like it sorted itself out. Splendid!! Never knew about the delay feature. Working well for the Challenge Race.

Still lots of work to do and no track time until the start. Well, there's no warm up listed but I'd assume that at some point tomorrow they'll be allowed out for a shake down before a formation lap.

Good race, one of the best support series

Interesting to see IMSA sticking to the rules so hard here. But the NTE Lambo which was doing repair work during night practice had to change driver lineups today because one of their drivers had no night experience at Daytona. Kerong Li had no night laps at Daytona previously so he was not allowed to run and will instead be replaced by Robert Megennis. I honestly thought IMSA would have let them run since damage from a practice session was the issue for not making the night lap requirement.

Especially since Daytona isn't really very dark at night anymore...

I’ve just caught up on this. Wonderful. The bump drafting, but not on the full oval. I worry I’m not going to see a better race all year.
It was so close. You’d think they’d have been more incidents.

I so want a go.

Call Ashli or Todd at Flis. They can hook you up

Racer saying Don Yount who got a waiver stepped aside and being replaced by Megennis. Sounds like Li is still in the car but can only run in daytime.

It's not the darkness but the transitions in the overhead lights. Very different illumination and harder to pick up

Lads, its time.

Still not sure how to get the live stream in the UK once the race starts, this is what it says on IMSA TV.
Next Live Stream: January 28, 1:35 p.m. ET - Rolex 24 At Daytona (Only Available To Stream In The United States On Peacock Premium)

I've been able to watch it in the UK on the IMSA site for a few years without an issue.
Could be read as, 'if you're in the US the only watch to stream is via Peacock Premium'?


Hope so, as my plan for this evening consists entirely of loading up IMSA TV and steaming the race.

[Adam43]

IMSA TV 6:40 PM GMT will do you. You are 5 hours ahead of ET.

The US doesn’t have the IMSA TV stream it has adverts on a streaming service called Peacock instead. The rest of the world, pretty much, has no ads on IMSA TV with radio Le Mans commentary.

I’m going to Italy to watch.

It will be fine, you just have to go on there a couple of mins before the race and it will appear.

That's exactly how it should be read, not really how it's written though. It's ONLY available in the US via Peacock Premium but the rest of the world is IMSA TV with RLM audio

Nice one. Glass of Gin and Pizza in the oven here.

Can't wait for the new generation of sportscar racing to start.

[fieldodreams79]

Beer #1 here but it's a strong one as it's necessary to get through a Spurs match. There's a third screen. Might be a timing screen. Undecided ATM.

I’ve arrived in Italy. Ready to stream with no ads and listen to the dulcet tones of John Hindhaugh.

I think Acura #10, AF Corse #88, Andretti #36, Porsche #9, AMG #57.

Could be blummin’ anyone though.

Dang. I'm jealous. Enjoy!!

Things have escalated here. RLM syncing is the only thing I have left to do...

Cars rolling....
