2016 FIAWEC / Blancpain GT / IMSA- Whos watching?
On and off for the past 20 years or so I have followed various race series. Curious who else follows these.

April is the beginning of most of these races.

Blancpain GT has already run 2 races. The Circuit Paul Ricard on the 9th-10th of March and they just ran the Misano on the 8th-10th of April and will be running at Monza on the 23-24th. So far the series has been a blast to watch. Loads of very good drivers and WAY more cars this season compared to last.

IMSA is running in Long Beach for there season opener on the 15-16th of April. Looking forward to that one. IMSA stuff has alwasy reminded me of NASCAR but with turns and cool cars :P

FIAWEC has there season opener on the 17th of April for the 6hr of Silverstone. Looking forward to seeing some more amazing GTE Pro and Am racing this year from all the teams.

I try to keep up with all three.

Blancpain uploads all of their sessions to youtube, as does IMSA. Can't remember if WEC does aswell but I try to catch those on livestreams.

Multiclass racing is intense.

Blancpain is quick to post up there races. Often times you can stream it live on Nismo TV on YouTube. IMSA is good too for posting theres.
WEC is a bit more snobby about it. They usually make you pay per race or a seasons pass thing to watch live but you can find other streams when the race is on.

Been watching some Blancpain GT races from last year....those guys are crazy.

I try to follow a few series each year.. this website has definitely helped

Racing4Everyone ? Make racing available everywhere for everyone

I lean towards the formula stuff.. However, if you want something fun to watch it is hard to beat these guys (the channel racingvolt posts all their races during the year)

Just watched that one. Looks like a blast but for me I enjoy watching "road based" cars :P I can relate more to the vehicles than the F1 cars and other V8 supercars and such.
Loads of fun to watch good drives in any motorsport tho.

I agree, the problem I have is almost no race series use 'road based' cars anymore. Blancpain I guess... I've been trying to keep up with the Pirelli World Challenge too.

Even purchased Motor Trend On Demand for some of their motorsport coverage. It isn't easy these days. If anyone has a suggestion for a good series post em up!!

It isn't bad... Kinda similar to the Racing4everyone I linked above with some exclusive content and early viewings of the motor trend stuff which I think has been pretty damn good lately.

Also a chance to support content I like so why not. I'm still the guy who has a /Drive youtube subscription :P

Well it looks like /Drive+ is dead... I'll have to check my CC statement :P

However, the free /Drive channel has been releasing content in the last few days even with some of their old shows like /TUNED (near and dear to my heart of course :P)
