You can also watch all 24 hours via the Fox Sports Go app and also And if you're not in front of a TV, or not a Fox Sports customer, you can listen to flag-to-flag coverage from the good people at IMSA Radio. You can listen practice, qualifying, and race coverage online at IMSA' website or on Sirius 118 and XM 205.

Yor sir, are correct. I should have mention that, but none of those options appeal to me (hey, I'm old, hard of hearing, and like it on TV)

All those manufacturers, all those great driver lineups, and that was the most boring Daytona 24 that I can remember. Congrats to #5 Cadillac, Ford GTs, and Lambo. For me the best part of the event was the nice tribute to Dan Gurney at the end of the first two hours.

Except for a little action in GTD and an LMP2 car coming in second overall, you hit the nail on the head. I had expected more from the Penske Acuras.

In my next life I want to come back as a endurance car racer. Back in 1979 when I stopped road racing motorcycles I had several offers to join more than one endurance team. As fellow racers knew that I always finished in the first third of the grid ( my best race in an eight lap sprint race at Summit Point Main, I started thirty-second and finished third). But, I was also easy on my equipment. FWIIW the first set of brakes on my S2000 lasted 138K miles including a few track days. Even though the pads on our Fit were still at about 30% at 91K I had them changed because the inspector told me that the pads harden with age and start eating up the rotors. I spent a substantial amount to have the pads, rotors, shoes replaced with Akebono components.

Does any one have an opinion about this advice?

When I did my completion licence course my instructor told me I was a natural endurance racer I had the ability to race to the back and turn in consistent laps
