Excuse me while I beat a dead horse

But I just can't watch IMSA USCC broadcasts on FS1 anymore because the BOP rendered the C7.Rs completely uncompetitive.

I'm just not going to tune in for FS1's 500 commercial breaks to see the Corvette, which won four in a row at one point, continue to drag at the rear of the pack.

I know the BOP is meant to give other teams a chance and keep fans watching, but they're going to run off Corvette fans. They're going to run off one of the most successful sports car racing teams of the last two decades.

Edit to add: I'm a sucker. Almost six hours into the race and I pulled it up on my phone again. The No. 3 C7.R is almost completely out of the hunt for the team championship because of a collision with a 911 but the No. 4 has a shot at a podium finish. Not sure Corvette would still have a chance at the manufacture's championship.

I'm watching it right now, and you can see how the Corvette just can't keep up out of the turns.

I feel your pain. I also support the corvette racing team but this is sorely disappointing.

This is why I don't support a lone team/manufacturer in GT.

Balance of performance. Changes made over the course of the season to make it "fair."

I am cursed with being biased. I'm sure the rest of the race is fun to watch.

I can get it on the Fox Sports Go app so I just assumed it was FS1 again. Forgot it's an 11-hour race so that would never happen.

Oh yeah, well aside from it being full course yellow right now. But the Deltawing leading? Crazy.

It's on IMSA.com then goes over to FS2.

Really? Wow.

It's a fall Saturday so I'm watching football instead. Even if Corvette was competitive, I probably wouldn't be watching.

Aw, god. Don't tell me that the Daytona Prototype Corvettes (VisitFlorida.com and something reptilian) are similarly affected...

that is bullcrap. I left LoneStar LeMans in such a bad mood. All of us in full C7.R gear with the previous dominating runs in mind.... but no, C7.R wasn't even close

PLM is a longer race so anything can happen and the pace hasn't been bad today, but ultimately the BOP will probably cost Corvette the drivers, team, and manufacters championships.

They haven't been. The DPs have actually been dominating all year.
