FOX Sports will broadcast LIVE the entire race from start to finish starting on FS2 for the first two hours, and then on FS1 for the final four hours. They will follow the fortunes of the American teams and drivers fighting for championship titles as well as all the other well-known automotive giants racing for WEC supremacy.

Ford GT Takes Pole Position, Locks Up Front Row at Fuji

Did FOX change their coverage plans? I had it programmed yesterday, but it disappeared today on their Sunday schedule.

Maybe. I now see only the first two hours of the race on FS1.
 
That was a heart in throat moment. GTs 1-2 with an hour left but Pla had a big spin all alone while in 2nd. Big enough buffer that he keeps the spot.
 
Great race in all classes. Toyota wins over Audi by just over a second after 6 hours. Not a single yellow flag.

Ford GT dominates and gets the 1-2 lockout. Priaulx and Tincknell in the 67 get the win. First win for Ford CGR UK. Things looking good for Shanghai.
 
Nice race....anticlimactic though, which I guess is a good thing.
 
Magnificent result !
Congratulations to the Ford Team.
