Default Sebring race - this weekend

The first two hours are on FS1. After that you have to get FS2 if you want to see the rest of the race, or one of the other options available.

This is about the only racing I still enjoy. Prototypes and sports cars together. Love it.

I agree its pure racing with a mix of great manufacturers and both great and not-so-great drivers and teams. You have to really love auto racing when it comes to 12 hour and 24 hour events but what a test of machines and men (drivers, crew, engineers, etc.).

I suspect I'm one of very few who get FS2 and even fewer who watched the entire 12 hours. I love the challenge of the Sebring track and having lapped it several times at a vintage racing event back in 2004, I can really appreciate just how demanding it is on both drivers and cars. Congrats to all the class winners! I just wish motor-mouth-announcer Brian Till would please shutup and take a breath. PLEASE SHUTUP! There was an unexpected ending to the broadcast when at the very end Wayne Taylor, owner of a car that finished second, dropped the F-bomb word on live TV!

I may have screwed up but I could not find any TV coverage of the 12 hours on my cable provider (Comcast) here in the Chicago west suburbs. What broadcaster (NBC, Fox, etc.) did you have that did so?

I followed it on the IMSA app on my iPhone.

I have Comcast as well, the first 2 hours were on FS1 and then it switched to FS2; he was on FS2 which I would imagine was the same broadcast you got. He was the main play-by-play announcer assisted by three others. It was such a relief when there was 2 hours to go and he went to eat lunch. But not to long after the Caddy hit the wall he was back.
