Edit: The series is long gone but the coverage of the vehicles is still terrible. Watching one race on a 75" HD TV and they list the driver's names but the make of the car isn't even legible.
The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona was recently televised. Speed TV did a good job covering the race itself. Where they lacked is typical in racing coverage - the cars! Getting to know the drivers is good, the race teams can be obscure, but the common element that everyone wants to watch is the cars. But no details!

This website needs to expand. We want car details, not just driver and team bios.
Did you know there were two Corvettes entered in the GT class? How about two Ferrari F430s? What about the lone Mustang? And of course, the Mazda RX-8. How much power are they making? How do they compare to the other cars? Why wasn't it closer between the Ferraris and Porsche like in the ALMS? What are the performance differences between the GTO.R and GXP.R? We want data, performance metrics, comparisons, explanations. Even to a hardcore enthusiast, they remain rather mysterious. And that doesn't even consider the powertrain and chassis differences of the DP (Daytona Prototype) class.
There is a link for teams, a link for drivers, but what about the cars? THE CARS?!
