IMSA Race Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen 2019

[chernaudi]

Granted, it would've been nice to show some live coverage early when there was no conflict with the NASCAR race. But they probably had stick and ball sports to show.

Personally, though, between IMSA, NASCAR and Indy Car, I do wonder if NBC Sports is overloaded with auto racing contracts?

It was replays of Nascar practice and qualification...

Maybe. A bit more than an year ago the Indycar Sonoma green flag & 1st lap was missed because NBCSN was still showing a red flagged Nascar race.

OT: I heard it would be short ovals too, or anywhere you needed to brake, maybe anywhere except super speedways.

And just to return to the 6 hours...

Mazda, woo!

It does suck that so many are paying for a service and the programming changes, or doesn't work at all.

Vpn to UK worked perfectly, again, with no commercials. Costs 1 taco bell meal a month.

So you're saying you can trade diarrhea for racing coverage??? That sounds like a good exchange.

Yeah, I am doubtless going to VPN in the near future ... but what sucks is that I Pay for NBCSN, and it doesn't work.

Then i will have to pay even more to get around the non-working stuff I have to pay for? Positively space-age.

I understand that if NBC has NASCAR fans in front of the TV it wants to keep them there, no matter what, because it is eyeballs ... so three hours of replays and interviews makes sense. And I bet NBC makes more money from NASCAR even on a bad weekend ... they are a business, I don't begrudge them money. And I appreciate that they Sort Of gave me the option to watch the whole race live.

I am not thrilled that NBCSN failed me and so many other paying customers. But hey ... if I go VPN, they get no ratings .... maybe that will help them smarten up.
