    Does this mean that the people who swore off Tudor (because of where they chose to have their races) are fans again because there is a MINI team?

    Aren't you supporting Tudor by supporting MSR and the MINI team, chances are that neither team would exist without the series? So are you going to go watch the Tough Mudder event at Mid-Ohio to support the local economy?

    Just asking a question. I wonder how much longer Mid-Ohio will be around since they are down to like 4 big events a year.

    From what I've been told, they have presented a much more competitive proposal to try to get the TUDOR Series back. I would hate to see them close down but those types of things happen. Hell, there's talk of Buckeye Lake being drained so anything a possibility . Glad it's not a pi$$ing contest again, I'm getting too old for that carp.

    I've been wondering why they split the broadcast schedule like that. I can only guess, does anyone actually know why they do it?

    An answer. I'm almost shocked!

    I guess it makes sense that Fox is the culprit. But I don't believe it's all about conflicts since they can plan well in advance. The real issue is priority and, I suspect, trying to get people to watch more than just their primary sports network but also hoping people will gripe to their providers to get them to carry them all.

    None of that means IMSA can't stream it all, though, unless Fox would gripe about it. And I also don't like the potential slippery slope caused by full streaming. I'd rather the pressure be on showing full races on TV, and streaming everything might actually mean even less pressure to broadcast. I guarantee I'll change my mind about that preference if (when?) I finally decide to cut the cable. Broadcast races are the main reason I haven't done it...yet.

    I've been streaming this race to the iPad then over to the Ap-ple TV thingie. It's all in high def. The announcers commentary is IMSA Radio. I've watched about 4 hours worth. Not a single commercial break.

    No replays for the most part unless Fox gives it to the stream. Most of the pit interviews are sound only while on the screen is often the roof cam view from various cars.
