IMSA's Controversial GTP Title Fight at the 2023 PETIT Le Mans 

i disagree, what put IMSA on the map is its similarity with WEC, several US motor sport championships are full of dirty drivers, they've to make a season in europe to learn how to drive before going back to US and try to become pros lol, those sample weren't disputes

​​​​@@eltonmsnmany of the pro drivers in IMSA are from other countries, and many of drive or have driven in WEC, what is your point here?

Yeah, IMSA did a much better bop.

Thanks! It really was, I loved every minute of it (except maybe the cautions 😂)

Much appreciated man

Nope Albuquerque did the same thing at petit last year vs the 60. Chased him through turn 1 and instead of pulling back into turn 2 he went side by side with a GT car that didn’t see him and contact was made damaging the wtr Acura and taking it out of the championship race with less than 1/2 to go. Obviously Felipe has not learned to be less aggressive, last lap yes 1 hour to go no no no

In Long Beach was Rick Taylor to threw away the race.

@@e1cabral Also Sebring wasn't "insanely risky" Jaminet was 3 lanes over and defended late, left flat footed by the combination of traffic and Felipe's wide pass. Those GTP's have some bad blind spots in the 3-5 o'clock position and it get's worse when such a wide dive is needed. Also Jam's line made it look like he was going to pass GT traffic on the outside. Basically Jam left a big gap, Felipe dove in, Jam recognized it slightly too late, went to defend and didn't see where Felipe was till it was too late.

if derani finished 8th, and the 25 had passed the jdc car, they would have won the championship.

@@JacksRacingProjects that's what I was hoping for, but was always a long shot...

Really glad you enjoyed! Lots of change in my life right now (all very good) so there is a potential that I won't be able to make any in 2024 but I hope I have the time to be able to!

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed!

So, it's a high speed corner. What's the 31 supposed to let him by because the 10 decides to put himself in a compromised position?

@@Quintanaroo2117 I get your point, In the end nothing is totally black or white, however #10 position is only compromised because of #31 behaviour at that moment. #10 would have stayed on track (and probably made the pass) without the contact. That is the precise definition of an avoidable contact.

@ . A professional driver knows the risk of trying to pass on the outside. That said it's not like the 31 dive bombed him, it was his corner.

Thats very kind, glad you enjoyed. Agreed, what a season!

I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and supporting it means a lot! ❤️

IMSA has an official live stream (free, without ad breaks and with commentary from the legend John Hindhaugh) for everybody outside the US. They also have all these onboard cameras available as free live streams, and there is also free radio coverage. IMSA is one of the easiest series to get coverage for, as long as you are outside the US. You only need an internet connection.

@hannesgroesslinger where can I find this? Is it on RU-vid or is it on the official IMSA website?

​@@nathancorfield2609on their website (and probably within their app as well). They also upload the full races on youtube within a few days after the event took place so if you want you can go and rewatch the whole season right now

Glad to hear you are enjoying them!

thanks, glad to hear it!

I feel you. I love the class but what would make it incredible is if they were faster. for me it’s not the weight but the downforce. LMP2s in the ldf aero have more high speed performance than lmh/dh. I don’t understand their reasoning for restricting downforce levels so much.

@GroovedSlick They didn't restrict downforce levels per se. Just Aero efficiency. The reason is cost. Up to this day, the Audi R18 RP6 is the most aerodynamically complex racecar ever made. And Audi spend 250 million on that. The Downforce Level of the LMH/LMDh is high. They are very quick in the highspeed corners, where they can compensate for weight with brute dowmforce numbers. If you gave them wider front tyres, they would also be able to drop a bit of drag from the front and keep the same level of cornering performance. In all honesty, as much as I like the diversity LMH brought, I miss the Hybrid P1s. Le Mans, Spa and Silverstone 2015 are some of the best Motorraces ever. Largely due to cars that have over 1000hp and more downforce and mechanical grip then an F1 car.

Thanks! Glad, you enjoyed!

someanon77 on RU-vid has all the onboards

Really glad you enjoyed, thank you tons more amazing racing in the future!

that’s great! I was there this year and all the locals said it was the first time it had that “big event” feeling. super fun

he’s about to set imsa alight

Really glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed! I don't have very much time for making videos anymore but I'll try my best to put out some content for 2024

thanks! no, I won’t be covering that

@recarsion I missed that race, what happened?

@@Zekenificent two cars were competing for the title, the 40 Audi and the 88 AMG, and the 40's teammate car yeeted it into the 88 in the first lap of the second race in a way that looked very much intentional

Really glad you are enjoying!

Thanks, I'll try not to butcher it next time 😂

WTR has such strong line ups next year. I really feel it will be their season. Yeah, I watched that clip like 1000x. Better than anything I've seen in a movie too

It's 220km/h in simulator at the apex of T1, so, let's say they slowed down a bit for side by side, and the grass reduced some speed...It would be at least 200km/h

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

Can't wait to have them full time next year!

Thats just a turn signal. I didn't even realize they had them on GTP cars before that happened tbh 😂

You must be a BMW driver 😂

@@GroovedSlick I wouldn't be surprised if he 'forgot' it on to distract the #10, because it was bugging me for sure 😅

🤣🤣🤣 classic Cadillac driver forgetting that they left it on though 😂

I actually though the same thing. at the spa 24 this year drivers were turning in the rain lights at night to distract the drivers behind

With these new regs in f1 you won’t have a title fight it’s been made too favour Redbull.

You should! Best most accessible sports car racing anywhere. Almost every year the title fight goes to the last race often last lap! Love IMSA

thanks! yeah it’s always a tough balance between including too much or not enough info. right now the RU-vid algorithm is all about audience retention so in order for yt to promote it people need to stay engaged the entire time so I end up under explaining to try to keep engagement high.

10 put himself in danger, Derani simply ran his line. Not his fault

@@kylemanning193 Disagree. He punted him plain and simple.

You go around the outside there at your own risk.

​@@kylemanning193if you run your line when another car is there you are deliberately hitting them

I disagree. But to each there own

I'll try to pronounce it better next time

🤣

hi from the usa!
