The 12 hours of Sebring is going to start with 3 hours of live TV coverage on Fox Sports 1 or 2. Then the final 9 hours of the race are going to shift to IMSA.com. I have serious concerns about that. The 24 hours of Daytona ran poorly on IMSA.com for the overnight coverage. There were a number of times where the stream simply did not work. Does IMSA realize that the amount of viewers that will try to tune in during the day is significantly higher than Daytona at 5am?

The second most significant North American sports car race of the year is this weekend and an unstable website is the only place to watch it live. Brilliant!

Glad I'm going! My solution for Daytona was to find a stream of the MotorsTV coverage elsewhere online.

I'll live tweet from the track, and have an open google hangout with video going.

Just kidding....I likely will have timing and scoring up on my phone the entire time I'm there, now that IMSA's Android App is finally available.

The stream had its issues but they eventually got it worked out after about an hour adn i didnt have any issues with it between that time and when I passed out at 230am. Hopefully they dont run into that issue again. Im just glad that we have the streaming option now unlike in the past where you had to rely on timing and scoring for any updates.

They got it sorted for a while, but it died again before the TV coverage came back up. Again this is all in the middle of the night. The Sebring coverage will be in the middle of the day when there are a lot more potential viewers awake and interested.
