Daytona 24 hours

So can RLL make it 3 in a row? If not RLL who are you pulling for and why? I'm pulling for either #24 or #25 because I am a brainwashed BMW fan. I like Connor De Phillippi, Bruno Spengler, Jesse Krohn, Augusto Farfus, Marco Wittman and Timo Glock. On paper the team looks strong but all the teams have killer drivers. Let's go M8's!!!

GTLM goes away for a GTD pro class🤔. Also DTM is adapting a new car which is essentially a GT3? Lots of changes going on. I hope the new class cars aren't too radical compared to current class. I'm sure it'll work out!

I recommend NBC Sports trackpass. I get just the IMSA trackpass for like $3 a month. No commercials for the whole race and during the commercials you just get to hear the track and cars. Best way to watch live!

Yes there was never any dispute about that but if you look at the camera shot from the rear of all the cars, the Porsche is the only guy to hit his brakes. Bruno tried to dive left as to NOT hit him but it was too late. The Porsche had a starting issue and hit his brakes. Bruno clipped the Porches back left thus spinning him out. The real question is why the P car was hitting his brakes at the start of the Daytona 24 hours lol. Green means go! Remember last year when the two P cars smashed each other exiting the pit boxes trying to make a spot on the corvettes IN PIT LANE and ripped the #911 rear bumper off by chance? Those Porche drivers don't know the rules and track etiquette lol. I suggest a Skip Barber school visit for them.

Yeah I think I saw the brake lights on the P come on but the M8 moved out too late, then I laughed at the bit where the Northerner brit commentator called the Porsche a Ferrari

I like all the cars but it kinda cracks me up how Porche has had some bad luck at Daytona lol. Poor Bruno, everyone has been ripping on him for this

Impressive run for Team Penske lately. Also a nice run for Cadillac the previous several years.
