I gave up after the first 8 commercials in German. Give me a $6.99 per month stream anytime I haven't seen any of that. I've tuned in 3 or 4 times for 5-10 minutes each time. No ads at all. Only the you tube ad for 5 seconds when I come back to the race. Happened to me, using this link

OPINION: Why IMSA at IMS is a win for both sidesNo doubt about it, the IndyCar/NASCAR doubleheader weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a big deal. But IMSA was the newsmaker Friday at IMS, revealing plans for a future stand-alone WeatherTech SportsCar Championship weekend on the Speedway’s stadium road course. The IMSA Battle on the Bricks, set for September 15-17, 2023, brings IMS the top-shelf sports car event it has been craving since Penske Entertainment acquired the legendary facility a little under three years ago. It also provides IMSA with an additional showcase venue for its new-for-2023 GTP class, featuring high-tech, hybrid-powered prototypes. While the headline WeatherTech Championship race for the first year of the event will be a two-hour, 40-minute “sprint,” it’s expected to be expanded to six or eight hours and run into the night in the future as part of the Michelin Endurance Cup. All in all, it’s a win/win – a major coup for IMSA, and another marquee event in the constant evolution of the self-proclaimed ‘World’s Greatest Racetrack.’ racer.com/2022/07/29/opinion-why-imsa-at-ims-is-a-win-for-both-sides/?utm_source=RACER+%2F%2F+Newsletter&utm_campaign=872ee6d75b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_07_27_05_16_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_76623d07b6-872ee6d75b-274287873

Michael Masi confirmed as Supercars Commission Chair
Former Formula 1 race director Michael Masi has been confirmed as the new Chairman of the Supercars CommissionNews of Masi's impending appointment in the top Commission role emerged during the recent Sandown SuperSprint weekend, where Supercars was canvassing the necessary support from teams. It's now official that he'll head up the Commission, which makes technical and sporting decisions for the Aussie series. He replaces Supercars Hall of Famer Neil Crompton who held the role up until the end of June. “I view this role as continuing the amazing work already done by Neil and the Commission to lead Supercars into a brand new era with the introduction of the Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang," said Masi. “I’m very proud to have been appointed to this role and look forward to working with the key stakeholders in the sport to ensure the future is an exciting one for our teams, partners, sponsors and most importantly the fans.” Supercars CEO Shane Howard welcomed Masi into the Commission Chair role. “I am delighted the Commission has appointed Michael to this important position for the sport,” he said. “The role of Commission Chair needs to be an independent, strong and robust leader. They need to effectively manage the Commission and its process, broker compromise where required and be a good communicator. “Michael has worked closely and industriously with Supercars team owners, principals and stakeholders for many years and returns to Australia with vast experience and leadership which will be invaluable in guiding our sport into the future. www.motorsport.com/v8supercars/news/masi-confirmed-supercars-commission-chair/10361020/?fbclid=IwAR1SPgneDYmyQTIwgo2uyTzBQsYWdRdieJZF2JGGCaZl-zbieewG7g9tlDM

New Flatrock Motorsports Park race circuit aims to be ‘a world-class motorsports destination’Flatrock Motorsports Park and Motorclub, a new racing circuit in Tennessee, aims to become “a world-class motorsports destination” that could host IndyCar and MotoGP in future, as ground breaking gets underway ahead of an initial 2023 opening. Set to be constructed on a 773-acre site just off I-40, some 30 miles west of Knoxville, Flatrock Motorsports Park will feature a 3.50-mile Circuit Club track, a 2.67-mile Grand Prix track that can be linked for nearly six miles of the Endurance circuit. However, the $100 million project is also targeting entertainment options that make it attractive to those who aren’t necessarily keen to drive, as it marks its ground breaking ceremony on Wednesday morning. “I think a world-class motorsports destination is what I keep saying — that’s what I want to be,” partner and president Rusty Bittle told RACER. “We think we’ll be one in the world, I don’t know if there’s anything else out there like we’re doing, so I think it will be very unique in the motorsports industry as well. “This has been about a 20-year dream. It started as a kart track and has evolved into an 800-acre motorsports park. Ultimately for me, most tracks are not destinations. There are private clubs now that are not really open to the public, obviously, and then there’s tracks with track promoters. So we wanted to really bring that concept together and have two tracks — a commercial track and then a private facility — but then the most important thing was to have amenities and it be a destination. “That’s what I think will make Flatrock different is that we will be a destination with hotels and villas, a winery, brewery, restaurants and things for people to do that aren’t even interested in getting on the track. “We want wives and kids and family and friends to be able to come and have a good time as well, even if they don’t get on the track. That was the big push with Flatrock.” racer.com/2022/10/26/new-flatrock-motorsports-park-race-circuit-aims-to-be-a-world-class-motorsports-destination/?utm_source=RACER+%2F%2F+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ad6452c2be-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_10_18_07_50_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_76623d07b6-ad6452c2be-274287873

CORE autosport Ceases OperationsChampionship-winning IMSA squad closes its doors after 13 years in sports car racing…Longtime championship-winning organization CORE autosport has ceased operations after 13 years of competition. The Jon Bennett-owned operation recently won the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP3 title with Bennett and co-driver Colin Braun in a Ligier JS P320 Nissan and had amassed 15 championships across driver, team and Michelin Endurance Cup categories since its formation in 2010. While having entered cars in nearly every category of IMSA competition, including the DPi, LMP3, LMPC, GTLM and GTD classes in the WeatherTech Championship, the Rock Hill, S.C.-based team was best known for its factory partnership with Porsche from 2014 to 2020 that delivered numerous wins and championships to the German manufacturer. In addition to Porsche’s overall triumph at Petit Le Mans in 2015, CORE had also scored overall WeatherTech Championship victories at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Road America with an Oreca 07 Gibson in 2018 that was driven by the Pro-Am pairing of Braun and Bennett. sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/core-autosport-ceases-operations/?fbclid=IwAR2SCnIIM4KVtxdTOPtxR7o1BK3_zy6tWGOm1Xw4mWSvKxY8qJp4z6iWntE

Sebring test gives Porsche confidence of "surviving" Rolex 24 debut Porsche is confident about “surviving” next January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona after a successful test with the 963 LMDh car at Sebring last month.Porsche is preparing for its return to the top echelon of sportscar racing in 2023 that will see it compete in both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship with Team Penske. Like other manufacturers who have chosen the LMDh route into WEC and IMSA, Porsche has faced its fair share of technical problems with its Multimatic LMP2-based contender, which uses spec hybrid components supplied by a myriad of suppliers. While admitting that there is “still some work to do” prior to the Daytona curtain-raiser on 28-29 January, Porsche feels it has made some positive steps in the 963's test programme. www.motorsport.com/imsa/news/sebring-test-gives-porsche-confidence-of-surviving-daytona-24-hours-debut/10401116/?fbclid=IwAR0E7UUfZ-UirgTqJ38Bpacq50u3-oWhDJk4MXtI5bRGw68gLDtAhk9pDto

Drivers fired up by ‘bad-ass’ GTP cars at Daytona testNow that they’ve all run together in a proper, full-on test, the reviews are in on the new GTP cars. And the drivers like what they see. Felipe Nasr summed it up best: “They’re really bad-ass!” Nasr was among the plethora of drivers who participated in the two-day test at Daytona International Speedway featuring all four manufacturers that will compete in the GTP class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023. Teams representing Acura, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche ran day into night on the 3.56-mile road course, turning as many laps as possible and gathering reams of data in the final IMSA-sanctioned test of 2022. The next time the four manufacturers will officially be on track together will be at the Roar Before the Rolex 24 testing from Jan. 20-22, just a week prior to the Rolex 24 At Daytona that opens the 2023 season and kicks off the GTP era. racer.com/2022/12/08/drivers-fired-up-by-bad-ass-gtp-cars-at-daytona-test/?fbclid=IwAR0HjptoxV9DJt3WzO2BlNXBO5usHCf_zWbHmBHNu8v3Vmdr6dn5zKycATM

Doonan: IMSA to Utilize Reserve List for Rolex 24Capacity 61-car grid expected for season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona amid 70+ entry requests…Photo: Brett Farmer/IMSA A reserve list will be utilized for the Rolex 24 at Daytona for the first time in nearly a decade, with IMSA President John Doonan confirming that January’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season-opener has been oversubscribed. The twice-around-the-clock Florida endurance classic, which will open the new GTP class era of LMDh prototypes, has exceeded 70 entries according to Doonan, who said that the sanctioning body’s selection committee will be put into place to form the expected 61-car grid. It will mark the first time the Rolex 24 has been oversubscribed since the launch season of the WeatherTech Championship in 2014. “It’s a wonderful statement for the sport that there’s that much interest,” Doonan told Sportscar365. “I think it’s a wonderful statement for the OEMs that have customer car programs that there’s that many people that want to compete. That’s the positives. “Obviously the challenge is that we can only fit so many in the garages and on pit lane. sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/doonan-imsa-to-utilize-reserve-list-for-rolex-24/?fbclid=IwAR1xdYT0qEDp3hyhhju2vBbeaG95TUfiqW_tyH6WpzXIcVvDgTQvjwXD1KE

Kevin Magnussen to partner father Jan in Rolex 24Racing father and son Jan and Kevin Magnussen are to team up again in next month’s Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona in a Porsche 911 GT3 R in the GT Daytona class.The Danish pairing, who are in action together in this weekend’s Gulf 12 Hours in Abu Dhabi, will once more drive for Ohio-based MDK Motorsports. It will be Kevin Magnussen’s third start in the Floridian sportscar classic, following on from his Cadillac DPi program with Chip Ganassi Racing – which he bailed out from after last year’s event when he received his F1 recall. “I’m super excited about this,” said Kevin. “The Rolex 24 is legendary, and I have had some fantastic moments there with Chip Ganassi Racing the past two years. “Being able to do such a race together with my dad is amazing. Again, I cannot thank [team boss] Mark Kvamme enough for setting this up.” www.motorsport.com/imsa/news/kevin-magnussen-partner-father-jan-daytona-24-hours/10409830/?fbclid=IwAR1VvZURUsiU-RAlgErNkCGxuqBgQsvcmzrtX_geECpHBDASNjYUpRQQ-Wg

Capacity Grids Set for Rolex 24 At Daytona and Full WeatherTech Championship SeasonFull Field of 60 Entries Accepted for 2023 Season-Opener at DaytonaDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – After receiving more than 70 entries from teams wishing to compete in the 61st Rolex 24 At Daytona on Jan. 28-29, 2023, IMSA officials today confirmed a capacity 60-car field for the season-opening round of the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Fifty-six of the 60 entries have committed to the complete, four-race IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup season, with 45 cars planned for full-season WeatherTech Championship programs. The 60-car field at Daytona represents the maximum field size with new Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) machines requiring slightly larger pit boxes than their predecessors. “More than 70 total entries and a 60-car field as we kick off a new era for WeatherTech Championship competition speaks volumes for the interest in international endurance sports car racing and our IMSA platform,” said IMSA President John Doonan. “Arriving at this 60-car entry list for the 61st Rolex 24 At Daytona required a substantial effort from our team at IMSA. We are proud to present one of the strongest and most competitive fields we have seen and cannot wait to put on a tremendous show for a global audience of racing fans next month.” The debut race for the GTP class will see a total of nine entries representing four manufacturers: Acura, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche. All nine cars participated in a two-day, IMSA-sanctioned test session at Daytona International Speedway last week. The entire, 60-car field will participate in the three-day Roar Before the Rolex 24 At Daytona test on Jan. 20-22, culminating with Rolex 24 qualifying on Sunday, Jan. 22. The GT Daytona (GTD) class again will have the largest field with 24 entries having been selected. The GTD field will include GT3-spec race cars from nine different manufacturers – Acura, Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche – with Pro-Am driver lineups. The GTD PRO class returns with eight entries from seven different manufacturers: Aston Marin, Corvette, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lexus, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche. Two brand-new race cars – the Ferrari 296 GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) – and the updated Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 will make their respective debuts in the GTD PRO and GTD classes. Both Pro-Am prototype classes also will feature full fields in the Rolex 24. The LMP2 class boasts a 10-car field of ORECA LMP2 07 machines. The LMP3 class includes a nine-car entry consisting of four Duqueine D08 race cars and five teams fielding the Ligier JS P320. The complete list of entered teams and race cars is available here. Entries that were not selected have been placed on a reserve list and may replace any current entries that withdraw prior to the event. An updated entry list including driver lineups will be released in early January. www.imsa.com/news/2022/12/15/capacity-grids-set-for-rolex-24-at-daytona-and-full-weathertech-championship-season/?fbclid=IwAR0LxZzwZclpB7grUHhdS7tF2ll_SaOQLeBW8rXcuAfLcNyCy8bdxgHblos

IMSA announces Hall of Fame nomination committeeThe new IMSA Hall of Fame launching in 2023 has unveiled its official logo as well as the nomination committee for the inaugural class to be inducted later this year. The logo is a predominantly black shield with white and red accents. It incorporates the official red, white and black IMSA logo, as well as some design elements similar to the new-for-2023 IMSA corporate branding. “Our IMSA Hall of Fame logo represents a modern yet classic look befitting of a world-class motorsports Hall of Fame,” said IMSA CEO Ed Bennett. “As we embark on our journey to celebrate and pay tribute to our rich heritage and the people and machines who contributed substantially to IMSA’s success, this logo will serve as the perfect emblem to commemorate their accomplishments.” A 12-member nomination committee has been established to identify not only the people who have earned the right to be considered for induction into the inaugural class, but also the significant race cars worthy of the same honor. The IMSA Hall of Fame – which will live in an online environment – will include both. racer.com/2023/01/26/imsa-announces-hall-of-fame-nomination-committee/?fbclid=IwAR08YGH99B4GmDK78UGd-t0bpuJiX2-LoUwSgioO9ftUkrVs56qLVqkr-4U
