24 Hours of Daytona, 2022

[Godson]

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this yet. Has anyone done any reading yet?

[Kchrpm]

I saw Wickens will be driving for Herta in IMSA this year. And there will be two C8.Rs at Daytona, but not every race. That's all I got.

[Rare White Ape]

Myself and Cam are doing it in separate teams...

Oh you mean real life?

Sorry.

Glad Wickens is not in a BMW. Would be annoyed to have another race lost the way Zanardi's publicity stunt killed the BMW at Daytona in 2019.

US Broadcast schedule, eastern:

Saturday
1:30-2:30pm NBC
2:30-4:00pm Peacock
4:00-7:00pm USA Network
7:00-10:00pm Peacock
10:00-3:00am USA Network

Sunday
3:00-6:00am Peacock
6:00-12:00pm USA Network
12:00-2:00pm NBC

Peacock doesn't have a DVR function so I'll be skipping those segments. You can watch a 24-hour race in about three hours if you skip commercials, sponsor segments, interviews with c-suite executives, and race recaps.

[Kchrpm]

Either they put it on an app with no ads and no switching channels, or I'm not watching other than the NBC parts.

[Freude am Fahren]

Do you need trackpass or something? Or just Peacock?

[Kchrpm]

I think Track Pass no longer exists for this year, and I'm not sure how Peacock will work for this. I'm assuming it will just give me access to these channels at best, not a commercial-free feed.

[Kchrpm]

"Peacock Premium Plus
Everything in Premium, without the ads*.

*Due to streaming rights, a small amount of programming will still contain ads (Peacock channels, events and a few shows and movies)."

That's the $9.99/month, $99.99/year level. I'm sure the "events" will include IMSA races, and a quick Google says that Peacock support agrees.
