Anyone watching some of their races? Some interesting cars- Aston Martin, Maserati, Ginetta, KTM, Lotus, Mustang, Camaro, and a few others I could not tell what they were. Very cool.

I get tune in alerts emailed to me but I have yet to be able to watch a race this year.
This weekend at limerock was tragic :(
Yeah, the adoption of GT3 rules seems to have worked well.

IMSA also adopted GT3 rules for GTD, but doesn't have anywhere near the variety of PWC. Is that just due to budget or for some other reason?

Teams jumped ship due to the merger and the potential for uncertain rules. Especially as GTLM is pretty well established and tends to be a bit more favored by the rules and fans .

The GTS using GT4 rules is were one can see some cars we are very much not used to seeing on the track- KTM X-Bow, Lotus Evora, Ginetta, but one thing called a SIN R1.
They showed the GTS race at Mosport first- where I saw the cool cars. The GT race after- which have the GT3 cars that we have seen for a few years here.
The GT field was pretty small, but if the IMSA and WC rules are close enough to GT3 (and GT4)- I wonder if people will try to run both series.
The GTS racing was really good- very close, power cars vs handling cars, nothing super dominating, very clean. The one accident I saw- the driver who caused it clearly apologized as fast as he figured out the other driver was ok. Aggressive but little touching.
Cool to see that variety of cars.

Has there been any update on Andrew Palmer's condition?
In reply to Woody:
I have been keeping an eye on twitter and have not seen any real update about either of the drivers.
IS there anywhere to watch these races on line?
In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
IMSA.com broadcasts some but not all of them I believe.

CBS Sports might- that's what channel had them on last night.
Nick- I'm not sure IMSA would show SCCA races- which is who sanctions the Pirelli World Challenge.
Motortrendondemand shows them, but I'm pretty sure you have to pay to view

Pity

My thoughts exactly... if you want to grow the sport, don't make people pay to watch a pre-recorded event.

All races are shown live at the World Challenge web site. CBS-Sports shows all races but not live.
The GT and GTA field is about 10-12 cars including the GT-Cup Porsches. World Challenge is now heavily favoring the customer car teams (Porsche and McLaren) and not the factory teams like Cadillac. Although customer teams have factory drivers such as Patrick Long, and Alvaro Parente. The GTS racing is really good to watch: Camaro vs light weight under powered cars.
