Fuck IMSA and/or FOX right in the ass with a handful of rusty deck screws for not showing races on TV. Nobody gets FS2 and nobody wants to watch a shitty, fuzzy, laggy, illegal internet stream or a cut back reair the next day. The two best races of the season (Petit, Circuit of the Americas) aren't/weren't on TV. I'm so pissed. I sent them an email complaining after the first two or three races this year that were either only shown for an hour or not shown at all and they ensured me the TV package would improve but they didn't say it was fall apart at the very end when it counts the most. I just sent them another email complaining and ask that they please get their shit together.

Can't watch live because I'll be on track myself at Pocono. Racetrack problems!

Totally agree that we are getting shafted by IMSA. Hopefully, next season it will improve.

It makes me that much more sad that I wasn't able to go to Petit this weekend. Ugh.

IMSA just announced that the race will stream live on IMSA.com in its entirety! I'm sooooo glad I sent them that email bitching this morning!

So get this. Brian Beierwaltes the director of brand and consumer marketing for IMSA personally responded to my email about not being able to watch the race to let me know that the live stream would be available online. That's pretty cool!

Way cool. Is it for the US, too? I know they stream internationally but not here now. *Oh please say yes*

"Luke
Thanks for reaching out. We have continuously working with FOX to improve the broadcast schedule and the ability to have the broadcast on FOX for the final 2 races will allow many fans and potential fans the ability to see the race. Yesterday we announced that for Petit Le Mans the full 10 hours will be streamed live on IMSA.com both domestically and internationally. Additionally FOX Sports 2 will broadcast the race live starting at 3pm. FOX network will also broadcast a 2 hour highlight show Sunday around the NFL.
Hopefully the live stream of Petit will allow you to catch the race.
Thanks
Brian Beierwaltes | Director, Brand & Consumer Marketing | IMSA"
