Race Highlights I Qatar Airways Qatar 1812 KM I FIA WEC 

9 hours of WEC race is more exciting than 2 hours of F1 race

I'm a Porsche fan, but a shame for Peugeot for having lost the podium in such a lethal way, I hope they have a chance in Imola ❤️💯

11:30 "No power. No power." - Thats exactly what Kaz said in 2016 😭😭😭

That's the type of highlights videos we have always wanted! Keep up with the good work, Mr. Wec!

Peugeot #93 for last 2 laps ran out of fuel, Peugeot #94 first lap got inchident with Cadi and knock to last place. So much heart breaking for everyone on Peugeot teams

Peugeot 😢😢

WEC is more fun to watch than F1

Rossi with the tactical wedgie pull is move of the season so far.

new golden era of endurance racing, like i couldn't sleep because this 9 hour race being more exciting than an f1 race

See you at Imola!!!!!!!!!!!! 43 years old, sportscar fan since '87. Never left North America but there was no chance I was going to miss this!!!!! I was there for Group C and GT1 and this is so much better.

Great content. WEC really is getting better in every way!

It’s nuts to listen to Kubica saying how many issues they had before the race start with no tyre or brakes warm up, broken radio, so having to remember all the procedures 10 min before the race start, yet keeping the car on track and going up to p5 in first stint. Amazing 😍 Forza Ferrari!

We need the extended version. Their was some fascinating overtakes.

Love these longer highlights, keep up the good content!

The highlights have come such a long way. Congratulations to the media team! So excited for this season, WEC will be great in 2024.

tough break for Peugeot but that race did a lot for them and their fans. They will be in winners circle very soon.

banger of a race from wec, thanks for not making this f1 weekend totally depressive

Thank you WEC for making the deal with Max to show all of the races. I'm glad they are on demand as well because I did have to take a nap or two during the race but I can go back and see what I missed.

Peugeot 😭 Feel so bad for JEV, to break down two laps from the end

great to see also GT3 more in focus in the highlights. Unbelievable how much action took place in first 10 rounds only...WEC is truly king

WEC deserve more attention!

ポルシェがIMSAとWECの初戦を優勝で飾ったか LMDh勢が凄い勢いをつけているな

WEC > F1

WEC going to be a blast this year 🔥hope it gains more and more fans

Great highlights, hoping all the races this season have these good highlights

What a time to be alive. Hello WEC, passionate fan here 👋. Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but here goes. Amazing race, amazing cars, great circuit, I’m giddy with excitement for the rest of the season. However, if I may, I would respectfully like to offer some (hopefully constructive) criticism of the TV broadcast. In no particular order: - The race was 10 hours long, and the Hypercar grid featured 19 cars, but it felt like half the Hypercar grid never made it onto the TV broadcast. Alpine, BMW, Lamborghini, and IF barely got any coverage. I talked with several people on social media before, during, and after the race, new fans who were watching their first ever WEC race, who left a bit disappointed. For example, people who were tuning in specifically to see the new Lambo on track, or Mick Schumacher fans who were keen to follow their favourite driver. I get that it’s a big grid, and it’s a long season, so hopefully these fans will eventually get their fill, but it would be nice to see the broadcast do a more rounded job of showing more of the field. We’ve all spent a long time hyping up Hypercar, both the diversity and the size of the field, but then during the race, it felt like we missed half of the grid. - Basically the same thing for GT3. Trust me, I get the excitement for Hypercar, but I also talked to a lot of people who were a bit disappointed with the lack of coverage of the GT3 field. - I think there’s some room to tweak the use of the Picture in Picture feature. It doesn’t work so well when you show on-boards with the Picture in Picture box, because it’s too small to really make anything out. What the Picture in Picture is great for is things like pit lane interviews. - Speaking of pit lane interviews, we don’t need to cut away from the racing action every time there is an interview. The interview can be audio only, or accompanied by a small Picture in Picture window as mentioned. - Concerning pit lane and garage footage, it is currently way over the top. The number of times we cut away from cars on track to show random people staring at a TV screen was really unnecessary. It adds nothing of value to the broadcast, and is awkward for everyone involved, both the people on camera, and us fans watching. In particular, there was one moment early in the race where one of the GT drivers had just exited the car, done an interview….and then the camera focused on this exhausted man’s face for WAY too long. It was so unbelievably awkward, to the point that he eventually had to get up and walk away, because neither the camera operator or TV director could seem to take a hint. - Connected to the points listed above, over the course of the race, it felt like we cut away from on-track action to watch pit crews doing jumping jacks, or get close in shots of pit crew nose hairs, more than we got to see BMW, Alpine, Lambo, and IF combined. - Hourly recaps are appreciated and have their place within the broadcast. However, the slow motion montages set to cheesy guitar riffs are completely unnecessary. If there happens to be a Safety Car or stoppage in the action, and there is room for filler content, then sure….but not while a live race is taking place. - I didn’t watch the race on the WEC app myself, but I was in a live chat with many who were, and several times, multiple people were complaining that the app was being very buggy, lagging, and otherwise disrupting their viewing of the race. Please sort this out. - With all due respect to the wonderful Mr Martin Haven, two things of note. First, he needs to brush up on his knowledge regarding the history of Lexus racing outside of Japan. Lexus competed in their first Daytona 24 Hour in 2002, entered the prototype class in 2004, and from 06-08, won the Daytona 24 Hour three times in a row. They have been a staple in American sports car racing since. In Europe, as far back as 2008, Lexus began entering a race version of their LFA in the Nurburgring 24 Hour. Starting in 2018, Emil Frey began entering a two car effort in the European Blancpain GT3 series with the RCF GT3. I understand that a commentator won’t get everything right during a live broadcast, but honestly found it a bit disappointing that no one in the production team was able to correct Mr Haven on these facts. Second, the snacking in the commentary both needs to end. I understand that Mr Haven prides himself on being this Ironman of commentary, but if he needs to eat a sandwich, please step out of the booth for ten minutes to have your lunch. Many of us listen with headphones, and the lip smacking and throat clearing between bites of sandwich is extremely…well, it’s gross. The co-commentators are extremely capable and experienced, they can hold the fort down while Mr Haven has a bight to eat. That’s everything I’ve got. Like I said, hopefully this is the right place to leave this, I don’t know where else to write or send these observations lol. Overall, the race was fantastic, and I can’t wait for Imola.

Very excited for these highlight videos

More action in the first three laps of this than the entire Bahrain F1

Kevin Estre drives like a mad man. I know how he drive at Nurburgring. Awesome.

6 Hours of Imola - April 21, let's go!!!

Fantastic start to the 2024 season!

Welcome the new era of wec is awesome very competity the best exits and blessings

It will be a legendary Le Mans. I can't wait to be there.

Was there at Lusail, it was simply magical! 😊😊 Thank you WEC! 🙏🙏🙏

15 minutes highlight feels good

“The ecstasy and the agony, because this too is Sport” - Profound words indeed! 🙄

Good job with the highlights. Big improvement from last year! Keep it up. Minimum 16 minutes please 🙏

awesome highlights and omg what devastation for some in the end!

Good to see Kevin Estre on podium🎉

Love the GT cars, they look great 👍🙂

And cool drone flyby with the cars

Loving how competitive the peugeot cars are with that wild look

What a race!!

F1 should take notes on this

Nice, put more content please!

Was devastated when the Peugeot started to slow with that what a race !

I'm not a fan of this track but you can tell this seasons gonna be the best one in a long time

Highly enjoyable race, well done Porsche! Season ahead is looking fantastic.

it was aLong race. but, Awesome Racing action.

Esta temporada será increíble!

Damn, that was an opener. I kinda miss the LMP2s, but this was a good one for sure

Great video! Enjoyed every second of it. Point of feedback: sometimes it is not clear who is racing who for what position, though there sometimes is that info with in depth side information. Could that be applied to every battle that is being viewed?

Great race.

Those hypercars look so gorgeous :>

Excellent stuff! WEC has surpassed F1.

Great showing from the Heart of Racing Team with a 2nd in GT3. I'm more familiar with them IMSA Sports Car Championship in GTD Pro and GTD. Also Cadillac getting 5th is quite considering how large the field is.

Felt sad for the Peugeot. But anyways... This. Is. Pure. Racing

Loving the expanded hypercar class. Miss the LMP2 class though!

What a race.

The King is back ,on the road to the 20 Lemans trophy

WEC is so back! I'm so hyped for this new era! Long may it continue!

wec > F1

Oh so much more fun than F1!!!!

More GT3s for future please

I hate to say it but, this has been more entertaining than a certain single-seater race in which a certain driver always wins.

For the first time, I felt I am no longer a fan of a single constructor, but all these teams! I mean every car just looks fabulous isn't it.

Man Peugeot had such a bad luck this race, they did almost everything right and it hit them the hardest, I hope they can come back and break this car's curse.

Amazing

12:42 that was very tough to watch live 😥 After 9 hours on the podium I feel bad for them

GREAT HIGHLITS!!! KEEP GOING LIKE THIS!

Finally some LMGT3 content. More please.

This will be my go to. F1 is just a stacked endeavour right now

Amazing to see former MotoGP and F1 drivers racing in WEC, just looking for a proper non-corrupt racing league, im just proud of them, hope they succeed in the later future!

These are extremely great looking cars even more than F1

Feel so bad for Peugeot 😢 and congratulations kevin estre 🎉

Hello, could you add Turkish subtitle choice? I love WEC. Thank you!

Sports car racing is clear

No more F1 for me. This was incredibly exciting! Looking forward to the next race!!!!!

ive recently started watching and i have to this far more entertaning than f1

The bop is favoring the Porsche way to much, the hell.

More action in one event than f1 will get all year.

Epic, new viewer

Please make WEC & IMSA the Pride of Motorfans 🙏🙏🙏

Pretty cool.

Very entertaining race. The only shame is that it wasn't on TV. I subscribed to the app, but only because I already know of and love WEC

Agreed

WEC >>>>>>> F1

I think I'll just watch WEC than F1 despite how long the races can be

Qué época Dorada la que estamos viviendo en el WEC🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This series is already good!

Wish highlights were longer than 15 mins for a 9 hour race

So many F1 (and MotoGP!) drivers and 9h of fun :D

Can’t wait for the full acess episode

For that highlight video, I stop f1 and start watching WEC. Keep these long highlight videos please!!!

Pežo izgleda odlično

I am F1 fans, and I am one of new fans of WEC, the cars so fantastic...
