@burgavo: Everything is out there to watch, free(and legal) is another thing entirely. WEC stuff is not often streamed for free like something like the Bathurst 12 hour sadly. Blancpain Endurance series is usually free for Americans to watch live on youtube but last year they blocked because they had TV coverage. With most of the endurance of GT/TC stuff it all depends on if anyone has the broadcast rights for that year or not. I am hoping DTM is free again this year, we will see. If anything pops up I am sure I will let everyone know about it.

The shitty thing is that often they wont make available races because they opt to show a highlight real on network TV. Thats the worst. The best parts of racing is the stuff that happens in between the "highlights".

Great ending, I think I had a mouth full of coffee for the last 2 minutes of the race. Such a shame for that Bentley. I bet those guys are gutted. Mixed bag for this race. Great race, glad i watched it all but man those yellow flags and too many potential winners out early in the day. I think the lack of current V8 Supercars drivers really hurt the race. Lots of skilled drivers out there but sometimes skilled isnt good enough at Bathurst.

Sorry for hijacking the F1 thread! But I hope anyone new to GT Endurance racing enjoyed what they saw. I will try to post whenever anything comes up thats streamed online.

Holy crap what a bad time for the stream to die. I missed the restart/crash/yellow. I hope they end up with enough time on the clock for some racing.

@edgecrusher: Thats speed tape. Remove bodywork and replace it with tape to reduce weight! Good time to tune back in. Provided we dont have another hour of yellow this could be a good fight to the end.

My god. Another yellow. Another Merc out of the race. That one looked scary for track personnel.

The Mazda drivers must think the rotary engine means then need to rotate the car.

I am never going to get used to Dean Canto having no eyebrows. Thats a pretty great ride along lap. I liked hearing all the cameras and stuff falling off and rattling around on the floor. The lap from a few years ago with Michael Waltrip pissing himself is still better though.
