I take it that Sherrin M4, won't have it's way this year, with the comparable speed of that C63.

Continental Tire Sports Car Championship race is at Sebring today and starts at 2:35 EST

Sweet totally forgot about Sebring happening this week .. looks like I already missed some of the support races.

Edit - the 2 hour support race is about to go green. They are live streaming it for free.

I can't get it to load on the PS4 web browser. Gonna try a VPN on my phone and cast it to the TV.

Edit: Web browser feed is up

20 minutes in and there's already a ton of contact and action!

 

[psychoazubi]

A lot of action indeed, that's why I love GT4/TCR races. Lots of action by (mostly) amateur drivers

Looks like the #3 had no brakes there?

Or didn't feel like using them

 

[05XR8]

At least i caught the end.

 

[MaddinICE]

#77 runs out of fuel on the last lap, it was leading TCR..
The Pombo brothers surely had fun in ST

EDIT: #77 had a fuel pickup issue..

Bathurst 6 hour to be aired live on Fox Sports.

Okay, well...I'll take that as an indication that "maybe"...we'll get further videos. I'd be crushed as, oddly, CTSCC is one of my favourite series - often the highlight of the week/month for me. Thanks for the info.

Fixed!

PWC at COTA this weekend. With the MotorTrend connection gone they are back to streaming everything free on YouTube which is great. Right now is TC.

2:10 ET - GTS-X
4:35 ET - GTS
5:45 ET - TCR/TCA

I thought this track limits thing was taken care of... this Mazda MX-5 Cup race is taking laughable lines on numerous turns like the road isn't even there

 

[CodeRedR51]

Good start for the Hyundai guys. First race, first win.

 

[01GTP]

I'm really glad the races are streamed for free again! Motor Trend TV, bah!

Been watching the British GT season openers and man, those Jag F-Types are nice. Not fast, but really, really good looking.

 

[CodeRedR51]

This is great. Wish we had more quirky series like this in the US.

I'm subscribed to their channel so I'll watch it whenever. Did you watch the British GT at Oulton Park? Really enjoyed that and of course had to replicate it in PCARS2 since the races aren't that long in real life. I set it to Rain > Overcast > Heavy Cloud > Overcast and it's just perfect. You get a drying line and some AI pit for slicks near the end (but I didn't) and you start to overtake the GT4 field about 2/3rd into the race.

I always thought the track looked so narrow and I only race small cars there but driving a 911 GT3 RS didn't feel huge. Only time I was scared was figuring out how to take the left kink before the mini-carousel.

I caught some of the race. I mainly watched for the F-Type.

AI take that kink so fast. In PC1, it was easy. PC2, not so easy for me.

 

[DesertPenguin]

And the water puddles up on the apex of Turn 1 in a way that I started off getting close and driving fine but as the race went on I kept getting one of those hydroplaning spins but thankfully small enough to collect quickly. Really confused because I was sure I wasn't even close but was still getting it while AI were driving the same dry line like nothing's there.

I've never been a big fan of Zolder though. It looks like long straights followed by chicanes and the sections inbetween that aren't like that don't seem to have a rhythm I can feel. Same with Brno. Just not my best tracks.

I watched the Oulton Park British GT race this afternoon. If I've ever seen a race from there I can't remember it but the real track looks a lot wider than in PC2 even with those big GT3 cars on it. With their camera angles I was having trouble figuring out where they were on track.

 

[05XR8]

What a day of racing. Still not done.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Been there, saw it all live! Those M4s are so loud compared to all the other cars! I thought the KTMs were pretty cool to behold! 👍

Haven't had time to mess with this but I said o woukw post a bunch of pics from PWC @ COTA. Here are a few. I'll try to get more done soon. First time going to something like this. Needless to say the senses were overwhelmed
