Truth is nobody will even televise this sleep fest. It's just not meant for fan watching

Updating: in the 2026 edition, the Mercedes AMG GT3 from the Winward Racing team ended up in the garage in a rather unconventional way. After some problems, the car left the track, went onto the street, and then re-entered the track through the main entrance. 😜

I wish F1 production could provide something like this but they are more interested in influencers and random clicks than real OG fans. Thank God there’s IMSA❤

Every single one of these historic or history adjacent uploads have been absolutely fantastic. I could watch the old film and listen to these chronicles and recountings for a long, long, _long_ time. Thank you to everyone who works on these, genuinely. All the best to you guys.

As others have said this was an amazing breakdown of the history. I loved the overlays of the maps while talking about the different areas of the track too.
