Did I just see ballet dancers on a bloody stage? What the hell are the broadcasters doing?

Yes, yes you did .

[hdrflow]

It's such a crazy coverage

[Altrezia]

I'd love to drive at Daytona - really interesting track. Good race so far, except the waste of time behind the safety car for almost nothing. They need Code 60 in TUSCC.

The most bizarre interlude I've ever seen!

Been watching this online http://www.imsa.com/camera/imsatv no problems on my phone while mrs watches tv...insure if this link is better for anybody?

Guess the Americans aren't huge endurance fans...lots of empty stands.

It's evening over there so maybe they are going back their tents or they are watching from their huge motorhomes!

It looks to me that there are a plenty of spectators there!

[FourWheelDrift]

Audi team mates just hit each other.

[Mini1275]

The infield looks reasonably busy but the stands are deserted.

Good clean race so far. Hopefully it'll stay that way

Spoke too soon, that Porsche looks like it's being driven by David Blunkett

The plan is to take ONE of these Vipers to Le mans, entry for Le mans closes on the 27th Jan so will have to wait and see what happens

If you prefer the Fox commentary I suggest you seek medical help

I dunno - are they commenting on what's happening?

The RLM lot seem to be missing a LOT of incidents. I kept thinking maybe there's a massive delay between audio/video with cars stopping/spinning/colliding whilst the commentary is a random discussion about football scores or what Nick Holland is saying on twitter.

As I said they are doing radio commentary and not necessarily watching the Motor/Fox tv pictures.

But I do agree with you about the random football stuff, I have no interest in football and so have no idea what they are talking about!

But to be fair in a 24 hour race there is going to be times when they need to 'time fill' I just think talking about football is not the right way to 'fill'.
