i have to watch a stream. Without a satellite or special TV package, there is no way i can watch events like the Daytona 24h, Nürburgring 24h or Nascar.

Just finished watching. Pfew. What a race. A few points I noticed.
1. Joey Hand's breakthrough drive! Great work rebounding from that penalty near the end.
2. Sensational effort by Brundle and Blundell. They are still great drivers! I wrote them off beforehand as sideshows and they really impressed me by being so fast and consistent! Brundle made a daring move on the last lap which was nice to see.
3. The CART deja vu was nice! Blundell, Pruett, Franchitti, Montoya, Dixon, Fittipaldi etc, really nice to see all of them racing each other again.
4. Juan-Pablo Montoya is the best. He should've been in the car in the final stint.

Good summary 
I only watched bits and pieces of the race, each time I switched the TV on throughout the 24 hours I only ever saw Brundle in his team's car. Great performance by that team. I did wonder about the logic of putting Dixon in for the final stint. Monty ruled through that race.
