@hobble34

How was it 0.167 seconds? It was about 1.5

[fsurainman]

@KingSnowman That margin was measured down in Turn 1 and not at the actual start/finish line.

At this point you expect to see two car fighting for the position on the rectilinear,but there is no such thing,because Porche simply fly away and if the race has finished with a so small difference between them ,I suppose it's right because of the great job that Montoya has been able to do in the mixed part of the circuit.

[mgarofano]

All the great job Montoya made in the mixed it vanished in the rectilinear.He made a great jod getting very different trajectory in the mixed part , he is just in the back of the Porche.

You do know Lexus won the championship last season right and the past three Rolex 24 hours so how can you say the Lexus is a poor car? Donahue deserved to win that race with all the poor luck Brumos has had in past years. He is a great driver and he clearly beat Montoya. I'm not saying Montoya is a bad driver because he clearly is one of the best in sports car racing.

[mgarofano]

Just watch carefully how near is Montoya (because of driving ability) in the mixed part of the circuit and ,on the other side ,wacth how the Porche gain ground in the rectilinear part. The porche is clearly faster. Anyway a victory is always a great job by the team and by the driver and probably Porche team together with the driver made a better job about the set up of the car prefering an highest apex speed or probably they had just a more powerful engine.

that play by play left me speechless. amazing

[Chick6517]

Great moment caught on camera. =D Thank God for youtube in which we can upload all of our crazy videos like this. haha

[JuanFBaquero]

Awesome driving by Montoya!! he got so close in the slow part of circuit...the result was just about the engine..

[intensity74]

this is epic. one of the best races Ive ever seen and one of the best play-by-play calls. unreal.

[GTRF1V8]

this race was amazing! unbelievable cars seperated by 2 tenths after 24 hours.

[javierivera15]

Im Agree too, this was a Very Fast Poche vs a poor lexus and even Montoya was on the tail of that porche. Montoya is one of the best driver ever!!.

[Twin540i]

For a team that has won 3 straight 24 Hours of Daytona, "poor lexus" is an understatement. The Lexus will still be a force in the championship because of the low end torque which will help at circuits with short straightaways and tight corners. Porsche had the legs to run down the straightaways at Daytona, but let's see how it fairs on the smaller circuits like New Jersey, Laguna beach, and Mid Ohio. Great to have Porsche back in contention for race victories.

[javierivera15]

My Meaning of Poor Lexus is not for overall, just in that race the lexus wasn't enough for the nice setup and performance of the porche. now the lexus was setup more for the slow section of the circuit than the straights and not even montoya could hold it for long time.

[JPachon88]

ese final no fue lexus Vs. Porsche,

fue Montoya Vs Porsche, incredible race of Montoya, simply the best of all the 24 hours

[Kabronyproductions]

i agree i was there even though montoya finish 2nd it was amazing

[bknightshadow45]

This is the greatest Rolex 24 race ever!

[throttle6]

Does anyone have the Justin Bell interviews with the fans in the infield?

[urnzwayzmoove]

Awesome!

[DFP1987]

This is for Mr. Mark Donohue!!!!

And after 40 years, the Donohue name is back in winner circle.

By the way, who has the podium cermony?

[gadgefan48]

Greatest Rolex 24 in history, 4 cars within seconds of each other, all with a chance of victory.

The Rolex Sports Car Series is my guilty pleasure.

[braves15]

That was an intense race. Certainly the best Rolex 24 I've ever seen.

[nadeau1064]

What a finish!

[sirpiccolo]

ranks up there as one of the best endurance races i have ever seen. that last hour with both brumos porsches and montoya and angelelli were crazy!

[bulletburposmiley]

Thanks for showing the start and finish of this race. Been busy with video games and college so I didn't even check to see when this came on!
