Start of the race won't be on FS1 or any other TV channel.

I have to go into work and will miss seeing the start

who at Fox decided German soccer was more important than one of the biggest races in North America

Good race for GM. Congratulations to Wayne Taylor Racing and Cadillac. Corvette and #66 Ford was a sprint race for the longest time.

Mercedes seems to be the car to drive for GTD. Tom Dyer and the NSX were down in 8th but it was good to have both cars finish. Lexus and Acura have their task cut out with catching up to the best from Europe. Hopefully they will over the season. Glad the weather was good for the drivers and the fans down there.

The lexus had pace no question. Most of the GTD field was separated my less than a second. The teams that win these things are often the ones with the most experience/ strategy/ preparation. Been noticing over the years certain cars come alive at night when it counts. I wonder if there is any case for saving the car till the end or if the chassis setup is what does it. Best part about this year, green flag racing. The pace car didnt make the podium this year.
