that schedule is completely meaningless without a timezone
Green flag is 6.30pm in the UK. Watch it on IMSA TV. Edit: or at Radio Le Mans. International coverage details can be found here.

Lol you remembered from the past years? I was always asking you guys for updates while I sit at the international horseshoe most of the timeHave a great time. Ask for occasional updates if you like.
Usually watch party is in the thread. At least it has been the past couple of years.Is this the official race watch/party thread or will there be a separate one?
I have a feeling you're actually seeing NBC's coverage because during the race yesterday you could here a lot of crickets.Either the BoP is horribly messed up and the #55 is just sandbagging, or Mazda absolutely nailed the setup on the #77.
Edit: Also, I like the sound & vision setup for commercial breaks on Track Pass.
In person it's so disappointing, you cant even really hear it in the field with other cars. And the Porsche RSR's absolutely silence it because they are so loud. If you close your eyes when the C8R goes by you cant tell what it is because it sounds like every other car. It sounds similar to the quiet Ferrari 488 (the 458's sounded great until they went turbo with the 488). Even the AMG GT GTD is more throaty and loud. Its depressing as I love the sound of racecars and plays an big role in it for me.From the roof cam on that C8-R it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

Check the manufacturer sites, Corvette nearly always does theirs and I think Mazda has in the past also, probably your best bet if they are not on IMSAAnyone know where I could find on-board feeds? The Imsa.tv site says click below to change feeds but there is none to select.
Also, @Organ-Donor, whose organs have you donated to collect so many cars?
I've been a Corvette Racing fan ever since the C5.R and I'm really disappointed in the looks and sound of the C8.R. It should be faster and better handling being mid engine though.Going to take a minute to get used to the C8. Looks very busy, compared to the C7.

Check you Java settings, they're there and they work for me, but they are javascript links

Yeah, they mentioned that's because of the change in engine placement. Obviously a mic in front of the engine is gonna pick up intake sounds if anything.From the roof cam on that C8-R it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
The Ferrari can barely even keep up with the Corvette in its slipstream. Did they destroy it with a BoP change before the race?
I'm at the race and can confirm it does indeed sound very weak. The deep thunderous roar is completely gone.Yeah, they mentioned that's because of the change in engine placement. Obviously a mic in front of the engine is gonna pick up intake sounds if anything.
Good point, I remember them mentioning during quali last night now. The Ferrari was way behind the pace. Surprised they didn't readjust because of that before the race actually started today.Before quali IIRC.
Aww that sucks. Has the new RSR-19 replaced it at the top of the noise scale now?I'm at the race and can confirm it does indeed sound like a vacuum cleaner. The deep thunderous roar is completely gone.
Yeah the RSR 911's scream and are the loudest cars here, they sound great.Aww that sucks. Has the new RSR-19 replaced it at the top of the noise scale now?
Enjoy the race! Envious of you being there in person.
