Because here in the States, media has the leverage with tv control instead of being the other way around elsewhere. That's without considering that Fox doesn't care about motorsports in any way at all with NASCAR being the lone exception (and they suck at that too). We solve that by watching the IMSA stream or focusing on the stream of a specific car. The answer to the second question has a lot to do with number one more than likely as well.
I don't think they archive the stream.
A switch for Rebellion makes sense but they will need to make some drastic changes. The race only AER engine will not work, the new deal with Dunlop wont work in Imsa either, and the other big issue is how will this dispute about the P2 regs and Le Mans be resolved. That race has always been a priority for them so they need to be sure they have a engine that is competitive and compliant. The chassis will be no issue since they are already partnered with Oreca so in theory their current R-One can be converted into the Oreca 07.
There is little interest in those cars here and they havent proven to be reliable or durable enough to run a 24hr race. I have posted it on here before i think the best option for the PC class would be the HPD ARX-04b with the 2.8L. If the cost can be kept under 400k the car could run at current P2 power levels and would be a perfect choice for pro/am teams.

No, I make too much sense.Can we vote you into power in IMSA?
The manufactur entry fee is very important, it contributes to paying the staff, the facilities, and basically keeping the series running. If it goes then the private teams would have to pay more. It isnt a way for the people at the top to earn more money like other forms of Motorsport.

Kolles probably isnt far away from some sort if indictment by the EU so I wont count on him showing up.
WTR and AXR are both GM factory teams and that will likely continue under the Cadillac name but there are rumors that Taylor could be the team so it's hard to say what AXR will do. I would expect GM to go with either Dallara or Oreca.
Mazda and Multimatic have been partners and I see no reason why that wont continue. Visit Florida/SOD want to go to Le Mans and are looking for partners and there is already a rumor tying them to Mazda as a customer team.
HPD will likely continue with Shank but maybe they will field or support a pro lineup too. Maybe the Acura name will return?

PC will continue thru 2017 with updates so I dont think Imsa is in hurry to make a decision.

Oh man I can already hear Wayne whining about the BOP in GTD.
Apparently Justin Bell called him out on the Fox broadcast when Wayne was crying about the HPD that he would complain the bars of gold he had in his pocket weighed too much.
Let me think: Watch the stream that has no commercials and lets me watch all the action without commercial breaks, or watch the Fox "coverage" that's simply tv for 10 minutes and commercial break. Yeah, that's a no brainer.That's not shocking since I'd imagine anyone with the ability watched the stream.
Yeah FS2 isn't on Comcast so I was stuck to the stream for most of the race.
I still think we need a SPEED Channel-esc channel again. I don't watch US football, so 95% of these sports channels are exactly the same to me. Where's a motorsports channel for us gearheads?
I just want an all motorsports channel...that's all I want. Heck, I'd pay to help fund it...
Speed Channel still had many different forms of motorsport and only started to get really Nascar Focused late in its existence.
