>contact in 1493 laps
>>140265568thanks fren
>>140265212wanted to get your guys opinion on something (trying to help explain motorsports to my mom). What would you consider to be the most important races/events in a given calendar year for the following leagues (no particular order). F1>Monaco GP >??? (Maybe British GP) >???Indycar >Indy 500 >??? (Maybe Long Beach GP) >???NASCAR:>Daytona 500>??? (Maybe Coca-Cola 600)>???
>>140266042How do you enjoy your motorsport /sp/
>>140266494go back
>>140266494The only F1 GP that matters for bragging rights is the Monaco GP. That's the only one you see even the drivers consider above the rest. The others are "nicer" because of eg. being Ferrari winning in Italy but the Italian GP in an of itself isn't ultra special. NASCAR is the Daytona 500, Southern 500, Coke 600
>Beemer pit-stop-infringementanything else they can screw up today?
>>140266540
>>140266494MonacoMonzaSpa-Francorchamps
>>140266599NOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYY
>>140266494>What are the cuturally most important motorsport eventsThe Triple Crown of Motorsport- Indianapolis 500- 24 Hours of Le Mans- Monaco Grand PrixDrivers try to win all three in 1 year. Only a handful of people have done it.
don't worry guys. our boi estre has this
>>140266669Literally only ONE person has done it, Graham Hill
>>140266494When introducing normies to racing the prestige isn't the most important thing. It's the entertainment value. As in what ewmgstlse could I be watching. F1Drive to Slurp (It's literally made for women.)Indycar 100 Days to Indy is actually good, Ling Beach is usually top kinoNASCAR totally random, this year's Bristol spring race was pretty good. So was Atlanta. Show her season 1 of 100 Days to Indy.
>>140266494nascar is daytona 500, world 600, southern 500 and rhe brickyard 400 which is back this year, indycar is the 500 and long beach, there isn't really a 3rd crown jewel right now
>>140266686CAM ON ESTRE
>>140266602
TWL?
>>140266669I'd add Bathurst 1000 to that list as well.
the 6 has a 5 second penalty?
>>140266863the jews want to keep him down
>>140266863passing under yellow
>>140266863Yes
>>140265411Cool
Toyota deserves this win for their strategy alone.Fucking Italians can't manage shit.
>>140266994>Fucking Italians can't manage shit.Many such cases
first thing watching this shit, not bad
IT'S OVER
yea it's gonna be another TWL
it's joever
>>140267082WEC is good. IMSA is great. (This is a killer WEC race.)
IT'S OGRE

>>140267128>IMSA is great>says the completely unbiased american
It's amateur hour
estreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>140266994All they had to do was split their strategy between their three cars and these fucking retards couldn't rub their two dago braincells together to figure it out.
>>140267177https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ssmkBPbqM0
>Toyota not winning>Replaced by PorscheWinsLolMonkey's Paw.
>>140266669The Monaco GP and Indy 500 are scheduled the same day so you can't win it in a year any more. Generally, if you win one of each of the triple crown events it counts as a triple crown. Alonso's quest to do the Triple Crown was over a few years. He had already won Monaco in F1 so he was looking for the Indy 500 and the Le Mans. He made one Indy 500 he actually did well on but was bumped the second time around (As Mclaren had basically fucked up everything possible they could fuck up). LeMans he was part of the Toyota squad at the Apex of Toyotawinslol and did that at first time of asking. But as >>140266696 has said. Only Graham Hill has done it and with how brutal F1 is to keep a seat it's gonna be a while before someone else attempts to do it. Only driver I could see doing a feasible charge at it in the next few years would maybe be Sebastian Vettel since he has two Monaco wins already and he's looking into LMP 1 with Porsche. Indy wouldn't be too far a stretch for him.
how accurate are those fuel numbers?
yoder gon runnin on virtual fumes
>>140267223need toyota onboard, not thats
>>140267228It's ok, you can fix the mistake you made with your first wish, when you make your second wish
>>140267276verstappen could aswell if he ever showed interest in any kind of oval racing, he's said he wants to drive in other racing series,woulnt be suprised if he does LMP1
>>140267285100% accurate. They don't have full/empty tanks anymore, they have virtual fuel tanks because of BoP. You have more than 100% of that in your tank but you can't exceed it or you get penalized

Please excuse the language.
always nice to see the god of 2 wheels doing well
Time to go get in a quick run before the next racism starts
>>140267339Verstappen said he didn't want to be in F1 for too long so I could see him do it even when he's relatively young and I could see him being able to pick up a decent ride in Indy Car and LeMans hypercar class to do it (The Triple Crown only counts for an overall win at LeMans so basically hypercar class or nothing)Will always be surprised Montoya never did it because he had Monaco and Indy won but by the time he was doing endurance racing he was more interested in journeyman LMP 2 racing instead.,
Total Ferrari Death
>ferrari messed up with the strategy, no matter when you hear thist.argie commentator
It KILLS me tonsay it, but Toyota won that one on merit alone.GG WP
Braindead strategy blunder from Ferrari and yet another TWL, but still an entertaining race with good racing and good drama. So how did your teams fare at the end of the 6 hours?>Mine#83 Ferrari: P8, 1 lap down#38 Jota: P11, 2 laps down#12 Jota: P14, 5 laps down#99 Proton: DNF
>>140267482They just done the basics.Ferrari's lost simply by their own incompetence.
kys blogger
>>140267765Verstappen is interested in Le Mans, but he has stated before that he finds the Indy 500 too dangerous to attempt to try as a one-off.
>ferrari
>>140267765Pretty sure Verstappen said he isn't interrested in doing the Indy 500. He wants to do Le Mans with his dad though
only ferrari could throw away a race fixed for them, makes le mans even more of a miracle
How the fuck Ferrari is able to fuck the strategi for ALL 3 CARS ????????

I would like to observe that IndyCar shills like Marshall Pruett (who IRL boomers will tell you is not enough of a shill) tried to spin fucking up the hybrid introduction with "uhhh but the cars will be really fast with the lighter parts", and with even with the lighter memescreen this weekend the pole was a wopping .2s faster than last year and .7s slower than 2022.
>>140274506If the tires weren't harder for more weight I wonder if the grip wouldn't be better. But Pruett is really stupidly obvious about protecting his access. Actually the interview he did with Will Power at hybrid testing before they were delayed was really pathetic
Marshall PruettI can't wait for his heart give out.
Could not watch the last stage from saturday so I rewatched it and hoooooly shit NEuville was not taking prisoners there.If the promoter is not retarded that should be the onboard of the rally. It's great content to share my non-wrc friends to get them interested in the sportCurrent autosport promoters are mostléy retarded ass shit (apart maybe imsa), they spend millions on DTSlike shittery to get fans into the sport while the real and cheap key to success is making the fucking sport accessible, be the current fans the one bringing in new ones
>>140275100Obviously taking 50lbs out of the car and not going any faster is the tire but they fucking knew there was harder tires for the heavier car coming this year.
I'm not sure to be happy that Tarran MacKenzie was one tenth from being the highest finishing Honda and MIE actually caught up to the factory team or concerned how shit the factory team is that MIE caught up to them.
>>140273654Your retarded fagot, Indy was pretty kino. I hope you live forever so everything is boring for you, Harmanjeet Sing.

>>140266494F1 has Monaco for prestige and being there and being there as a street circuit the for the longest time. Spa and Suzuka due to the challenges and threat of death. Silverstone wasn't the same since the Arena was added. The car outgrowing lots of tracks is the reason a Triple Crown is not possible for F1. Its the same for prototype endurance racing today.
>>140267765F1 champion, WEC champion and Indycar champion has a better ring to it if you won the whole thing including the obligatory triple crown races.

Dicks on for dixon. He will free us from Palou for one season and win that elusive seventh championship
>>140281081He has probably made less money driving in Shindy for over 20 years than his immediate predecessors did in 10.
>>140281311exhibit 1: Paul Tracy
>>140281348i miss pt so much, even he had retarded takes at least he had the resumé to back them unlike bell
>>140281348For me it's Adrian Fernandez being both a pay driver and probably the highest income driver in the field because Pat Patrick just sold him the seat and the space on the car for a fixed rate and then he sold his sponsors for like double.
>>140281120>>140281231the 38 almost went airborne straight into the catchfence but somehow the 2 and 4 catched him

>>140281311Yeah, but he's still way, way wealthier than you'll ever be, plus he has a beautiful white family which you could NEVER have. So I'd say he's winning, Manu.

>https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/erc-star-sesks-secures-wrc-rally1-graduation-with-m-sport/10601871/nice to see someone getting a chance he looked rapid in ERC, maybe only ditching the hybrid would be the best interim reg call from the FIA if it means more youngsters could get some seat time

>>140288171>Japanese engineeringYes, but more specifically, Kaizen, which is a systematic process of continual improvement. It kind of transcends that and is just part of Japanese culture.
>>140290205even bob didnt like this shit at all.
>>140289889not just more seat time but not as steep leasrning/adjustment curve from r2 to r1 as tehey have these idiot things that you need to break this hard for this long to have recuperation and accelerate this strong and this way for the hybrid boost to kick in...Also M Sport writes the new non-hybrid puma, I guess they started testing for next year and this one will be an episode in that

Crash out on Friday or Saturday, but you still have up to 7pts for grabs on Super Sunday.>You only get to keep Saturday's points if you finish the rally on Sunday>Sunday's last stage, PowerStage has another 5pts for available to the top 5 separately from everything elseSomehow Tänak who consistently got left in the dust since Friday ends up with more points than Evans and Neuville who put up a great competitive show for the whole weekend, being by a nice margin #1 & #2, neck and neck until the penultimate stage where they both made a mistake. 3rd place could potentially earn more points than the fastest and most competitive guy who wins the rally (which is lame and gay).
>>140290999checked, yeah absolutely if ditching the hybrid means the learning curve is easier I'm all for it>>140291134I wasn't shitting on the new points system up until now but tanak getting more points out of this weekend than neuville and evans is completely retarded
>>140291317Quoting Tänak's interview to the local media>Current points system is that much of a joke, that it somehow saved (our) weekend>I don't believe it will stay this way for long
>>140291393Lol i love ott interviews,theire so funny
>Even M-Sport Ford’s Adrien Fourmaux amassed a significant number of points, despite spending over 15 minutes on a special stage on Sunday morning after damaging his car on a a concrete anti-cut block.>“You can almost stop and change your steering arm for 15 minutes and still get nearly the same points,” Evans commented.FIA boomers need to get their head checked
The moment Citroen and FORD left WRC, Everyone knew FIA fucked it up FUBAR.It keeps getting worse
>>140292179what about Subaru and Mitsubishi
>>140292366Both left not because of FIA, but by sheer incompetence
When was the last time a latvian was handling a top tier rally car? I dont remember any, is sesks the first one?
>>140293143I can't remember a single latvian ever driving in a factory team, probably there were privateers>>140292179they left 7 years apart and citroen left because they were shit and no top driver wanted to drive for them
>>140293192>citroenI remember that car driving like a pregnant cow on ice by the end of it
>>140293192thats pretty cool ngl, i support my baltic bros, happy to see my bros find some success, sesks has been very solid in ERC

>>140293466thats very cool, anywaywhat are we thinking of sesks in the puma, Ott's improvements from last year seem to be pretty good this year with 4max going hard, is there finally light at the end of the misery tunnel that is msport fords?
>>140293192Because Citroen fucked up royally in their Car Department, they went from the best and hated by everyone, to the shittiest and even more hated by everyone, ever since a certain company took hold of its top leadership.

>>140293328no ufucking cunt
>>140293350Least suicidal rally fans.
What's the deal with the points system in WEC? Are people happy with it? To me it seems like they should just treat every stage or maybe day as a mini race where the team with the lowest time gets say, 25 points, second fastest 15, third fastest 10 points, fourth 5 points and so on. Maybe not those values, but you get the idea. Why does this not work for WRC.
>>140293466>Tired of having to scroll past his fucking drivel.I think he is cool and fun. Just learn how to use the filters if it bitheryou so much, you pathetic newfag.
>>140294621What's the downside of a 1 point for every stage win, and some extra for the rally winner? Why over-complicate shit. Everything else just tends to end up with this boring old bullshit of super-safe Sunday cruising, tire saving, etc.
Forza Horizon 5 is adding a bunch of GTE and GT3 cars this week, including pic related
>>140295424>adding GTE after the class died
>>140295735at least there will be more proper race cars in the game now. the Horizon series is mostly road cars, rally cars, offroad trucks/buggies, and drift cars. until this update there were very few real circuit racing cars in the game.>pic related the cars being added
>>140296317>tfw no NSX GT3 or GT-R GT3
>>140294731I think just giving points to the winner screws over the other teams. If someone comes in second in every single stage but never wins, they get fewer points than a team that wins 1 stage and DNFs every every other stage. That is an exaggeration, but you understand my meaning.
If I were an indycar backmarker I would consider waiting to see what Dixon does with his pit strategy at each opportunity
>>140297993in order fo that to work you'd have to be as good as dixon at saving fuel while being fast, which nobody seems capable of
>>140298385exactly. his pit strategies wouldn't work for lesser drivers.
>>140298385>workWork as in 'win the race?' Not likely for a backmarker. I imagine a slower pace and similar mpg could work. I mean it's unlikely you'd have many chances to wait and see what Dixon's engineer thinks anyways. But i.e. if I knew Dixon could put in 34 lap stints on the greens it would tell me a lot about those tires
it's so nice to be back into motor racing season. so many things to watch every weekend.let's enjoy it, my fellow motor/sp/ortsmen.
>>140299389I agree. This is a good time of year.
>>140299548I only wish that I had time to watch everything. raceday.watch shows me so much cool stuff, but I can't watch it all. gotta work, and even when I'm off, I can pretty much only handle watching like 2 races at once. any more than that, and it's like I'm watching them all but not really watching any of them, you know?
>>140298797I mean, idk. it's hard to say. maybe you could improve your position a bit from the intel you get from what Dixon/Gannasi do. but maybe it's a case of, if you are trying to copy them, it's already too late and anything you think you can learn from their strategy will slow you down.
I think it's better to think of your own strategy based on what you know on the strength of your car setup, and the skills of your driver. what Dixon and Ganassi are doing might not work if your team tries it.
>>140299811Honestly, I don't typically even watch 2 at once. I really just end up not really enjoying either that much. I usually just watch whichever series I like more or maybe the one that will be harder to find a reply of. There are a lot of things I'll watch "if it's on" but I don't follow too closely, the 5 million SOR series, for instance. For me, its:1. IMSA2. WEC/IndyCar 3. NASCAR 4. Various GT series (ADAC, SRO, BARC)I'd rate Australia V8 Supercars higher, but I can't seem to stay awake for the races, same with WEC. I also like sprint cars and legends, but I know jack shit about them, same with WEC. I also really like hill climbs.
also gotta factor in your pit crew.can your (hypothetical) IndyCar crew get pit stops done as quickly as Ganassi or Penske? I doubt it. those guys are the best in the business.
>>140300474It's pretty crazy how many little things you can do to a spec car to gain an advantage. >>140300617Did we ever figure out why Cadillac and CGR split?
>>140300683>Did we ever figure out why Cadillac and CGR split?no, and I was wondering that too. unless further information comes, I'm putting it in my (already very thicc) "US auto companies are fucking retards" folder.
>>140300350What they need to do is the same thing that NASCAR guys need to do on super speedways, plan on a late caution and strats for that. You want to end on sticky fresh tires and light fuel, and be bunched up with the group to get a jump.
>>140300785Yeah, I REALLY hope they win the IMSA season (I'd like them to win WEC, but, yeah) the best part is that they get the same BOP as the 31.They still haven't updated the point from this weekend, but how, the fuck, did Whelen get 245 points at Seabring when they ended the race upside-down with 4.5 hours still on the clock?
>>140301003in GTP I root for WTR Acura (I'm a Honda fan) and second choice the JDC-Miller Porsche (love that yellow livery).but yeah it would be based for Ganassi to win the championship to stick it to those retards at GM.
business idea:>Chevrolet, Buick and GMC are BANISHED from this timeline>Holden takes their place>the Corvette is now a Holden>company HQ is now in Australia>V8 sedans for everyone
I kept thinking about Ferrari retardation today at work and, while I still think the Lamborghini at Nurburgring is KWAB of the year, Ferrari came REALLY close yesterday.
>>140301632I need context. what is the problem in this webm?
>>140301617Australian cars are based.
>>140301707the most interesting Ford cars came out of Australia and/or Europe.
>>140301682It was a timed race and he didn't have the fuel/tires to do another lap so he slowed down and the car that was some 30 seconds behind when they started the lap passed him at the last second. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kNqmlvs_oHM=17255
>>140301844lel
>>140301937there were 3 or 4 of us watching and I came up with then name and a Brazil anon made the webms. I REALLY wanted Pepper to win because my buddys kid has got me following Lamborghini and we watched him in IMSA. Here is the view we saw live. It was as painful to watch as it was hilarious.
>>140300519I'd have to say IndyCar is my #1 priority, followed by #2 Supercars. luckily due to timezones, they don't conflict.after that, it'll be Super GT/Super Formula/Super Taikyu. may conflict with Supercars, but they don't usually conflict with each other.after that, any other sports car series. so many. depends what is on at what time. and then rally.
*double blocks you*OH IM GONNA WIN IM GONNA W-ACKK!
you know what grinds my gears?>talk to normies>they ask what I'm into>motor racing>oh, so Formula 1?or>oh, so NASCAR?if I could press a button to delete those two series from the world, I would smash it with no hesitation.
>>140302119I wish the Australian and Japanese races were easier to watch in the US and easier to get replays. I'm totally filtered by the time difference.
>>140302918Then there would just be two different series you would be a hipster cunt about.
>>140302959oddly enough, I find it easier to watch Aussie and Jap racing. I have to work every other weekend you see, so it's 50/50 if I miss IndyCar/IMSA or not.
>>140302918Extremely Relatable. At least they are vaguely familiar with IndyCar usually, but you can't even begin to explain sports cars. A couple of dudes at least say they appreciate the skill in rally driving.
shut up leaf
>>140303090>A couple of dudes at least say they appreciate the skill in rally driving.I suspect that is due to Ken Block.
>>140302349At least Gragson was able to avoid it and finish 3rd. Nice result for him.
>>140304073this aint it
>>140304714Reddick won, McDowell lost, get over it chud.
>>140302918>>140303090dang those dumb heckin le normies !are you faggots 16
Remember prior to this exact moment when Garrett Gerloff was a good world superbike rider
>>140306761and bautista was just a fraud, now he's still a fraud but with a couple of titles
>>140305675suck my anus
Kinda hate fuel mileage at super speedways. How do we fix it?
>>140309433You get rid of pack racing.
>>140309433Remove stages.Alternately, bring back the 12-gallon fuel cells for plate tracks.

>>140303887>I suspect that is due to Ken Block.Yeah, probably and I find that Hoonigan shit ultra cringe (not that these guys are into that), but at least they kinda get it.
>>140292391>>140292366Both left bc muh financial crisis and the previously said incompetence and being shitter, mitsu dug themselves really deep after their waiver to use Group A homologated cars for 4 more years than anyone else ended in 2001As soon as Mitsu stepped into the world rally car formula, they shat themselves 0-24/7> now you remember the lancer04 wrc and that it had that retarded 5 speed manual gearbox and fully passive differentials when everyone (even they) were using active diffs for years and sequential semi autos>>140293192I beat the frenchies wanted to leave anyway just in the usual frog manner they blamed ogier for it. They had a talent pool in their junior ranks to select a new prodigy.They openly dislike the rally1 formula, so I bet they wanted to jump out when ogier's contract ends in 2020 (reminder that originally rally1 was slated for 2021, but MUH COOF caused fia to postpone it>>140302918Here its mostly "Oh so you watch f1 ?"But they know rallying usually but just memoryhole it.Sportscars are easy to get them interested in the challenge aspect if you mention the 24 hours races first
>>140311947No one really mentions but one of the things I hope wrc ditches when they let the r1 go to the pastures is the retarded rear diff rule
>>140311947The 8th gen Lancer was too fat to ever be a good rally car anyways, a 115mm increase in wheelbase doesn't just disappear.
>>140311998>the retarded rear diff ruleWhat's that? I don't really know anything about rally.
>>140266744Indy maybe has Pocono or the Milwaukee Mile. It used to be Pikes Peak (the hillclimb). Indycar racing has always centred around the 500 with everything else just being filler, it's the main reason why Indycars has had identity issues and stability issues right back to the 1960s.
>>140280102The existence of a WEC and an Indycar championship have been too inconsistent to be counted in the same league as F1. Historically the Indy 500 and the LM24 were individual races not tied to any championship, Monaco GP was too until the 1930s. That's why the triple crown is just those three races rather than whatever championship they happen to be tied to.
>>140312566You need to have the same diff setting on all your cars in the team in the top category.So if Tanak and Neuville needs different setup, the team either needs to try to find a common ground between them or just straight up go for a setup of the driver they prefer and force the others to use thatIIRC
>>140291304Why not just award points based on cumulative stage times at the end of the rallye?
>>140296317Why would I want that? If I want circuit racers I'll boot up the circuit racer Forza: Motorsport. I want 4x4s and street cars in Horizon.
>>140312776ExactlyAlthough is the current forza motorsport a dumpsterfire?
>>140313028No worse than the last one. Which is the problem, they took six years to make a game that's basically the same, after telling us for six years that "we are redoing it from scratch". A blatant lie.

>There are Anons who missed the two hours rant about >ferrari stragetti regrettiThey really missed out.
>>140312729What fucking sense does that make? What caused this rule to be invented?
>>140314459IDKbut not more sense than the fixed gear ratio rule of the wrc (and f1 as well)you have to submit your used gear ratios for the whole season before the first raceAnd you have people saying motorsport is not overregulated
>>140315361>>140314459Im searching for it in the current regs, maybe the diff rule was abolished, but I know it was in place 2 years ago

>>140316693>>140316738>released from the infield care center, everything is fine>nothing was fine
>>140316693>>140316738>could have had bayne?, memerola or even dover master gimmie>choose heim instead don't know why I'm disappointed since it was obvious they were gonna pick one of their drones
What exactly is the point of the infield care center if they let you walk in and out with a broken back?
>>140317075Gimmie's running the #84 on Sunday at Dover. Amirola and Bayne work for JGR now so even though they are Toyota drivers they probably wouldn't be in the line for Legacy unless there was a deal with JGR (And JGR's deal seems mostly with 23 XI anyway). Heim is Legacy's normal reserve driver which is why he got the spot.
Heim is gonna get like 20 mins of practice in a car he's never driven and then make his Cup debut at fucking Dover. Good luck kid.
>>140317124they can't do much of you tell them you're fine and walk away as quickly as possible>>140317216even though they're not as close as jgr and 23xi, they're still part of the alliance, thing is do they really want to risk the youngster who in the championship hunt vs a part time driver (almirola) or the sim driver (bayne)?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFOapoeM9s84maux wasnt fucking around on the power stage
>>140284130>.think Almirola would?He's already committed to running a limited xfin schedule, and he wants more time with his family, so I doubt he'd be willing to run cup full time.
>>140302918I hate F1 as much as the next guy, but g'damn, anon, don't take away my /turnleft/.
>>140313179Muh diverse backgrounds. I work at a smaller company, but as we get bigger the more of this shit we have to deal with. We have enough problems without hiring people based on demographics. Good luck in the job hunt.
>>140313408For me, it's keeping up with the thread. There is usually enough chatter to keep it interesting. >>140315536>snacksAlso, snacks.
>>140317216Didn't JHN sub for Gragson at Homestead at Homestead last year despite being a JGR driver, and LMC driving for a different manufacturer at the time?
>>140315657I fully expected that whole weekend to be a shit show, but I enjoyed every race that ran on that circuit. It's no Long Beach, but it was pretty good. Same with Chicago, the rain really made that a fun one, after a fashion. They should probably just run Chicagoland instead, but that's a whole other thing.
>>140315791Well, at least 1 of their cars got clobbered at the beginning, but they also changed 98% of the aero/bodywork and changed they tires sizes too, so they just don't have the data on setups or the driver experience. It's kind of sad that they had the old configuration pretty well figured out and Imola probably would have favored that car, but I think they wanted to work on this configuration before le Mans. I really want them to do well and even win le Mans.

>>140334195lmao
>>140334473so chadgarden and scotty just tried p2p during restarts despite knowing that p2p wasn't supposed to work during restarts and it happened to work for some wicked and totally uncontrollable reason?is that the story they're going to run with?
>>140334700They thought it was NFSU1,2,MW and Carbon where you can do this shit all time.
I have a bad feeling about Heim running the 43 with Petty's colors at Dover of all places.Those ancient Micosukee spirits never fuck around when it comes to send a message to fuck over NASCAR.

>>140334195>>140334473So, who's taking the boot for this one?
so I guess them using p2p right after restart when it shouldn't have been enabled didn't actually count towards the p2p-limit of the race?I'd hope somebody would have noticed these two/three numbers going down when they shouldn't have, right?weird story all around.

Larrymacbros…Brad Keselowski did not win that race…
It's a relatively minor thing but this is why any series that relies on dyno regulated horsepower (which is probably just CSBK these days thank fuck but used to be some halfway relevant ones) is a joke because compared to the Shank air pressure cheat or this p2p cheat, ECU cheating a dyno is baby shit.Even with the modern, more useful version of putting $100,000 torque sensors in the car for real time monitoring you are open to a version of the tire pressure cheat to send made up power numbers (or as happens more often, the lowest bidder torque sensor shids itself and starts reporting nonsensical power spikes and you get assfucked by race control)I don't know, I just feel like doing anything but banning non-driven wheel speed sensors and GPS modules connected to the vehicle's operating electronics to reduce how effective you can make traction control is outside of any sanctioning body's ability to actually enforce reliably.

At least IndyCar is putting money into their graphic design budget... The new posters + schedules aren't bad.
>>140343036Though honestly now that I look at it closer, it's probably AI generated...
>>140343055>>140343036Yes it is, just look at that clusterfuck of a suspension. Really low, but what else to expect nowadays. The casual fan propably won't notice anyway.
Cope essay.
>>140343149Artists don't know how to car anyways mind you but the roll hoop melting into the rear wing is certainly something.
>>140343566What tipped me off was the little 'winglets' on the edges of the swoops before the rear tires. Pretty obvious AI artifacts.
>On Sunday, IndyCar was experiencing technical difficulties in race control during the first 10 minutes of the 30-minute warmup session, and with their attention turned to those issues, P2P wasn’t activated when the green flag waved.>While nine of IndyCar’s 10 teams spent those 10 early minutes without the use of P2P, IndyCar and others saw something strange through telemetry where the Team Penske cars — and only the Team Penske cars — had functioning P2P as Penske drivers were racking up seconds of P2P use.What a very Shindy way for this to happen.
>ic race control
Anyways it actually sounds like the illegal p2p time was being counted at St. Pete and race control just never noticed, so the reason this penalty came out relatively quickly is because they literally just had to open up their live data and actually look for it. Which in the spirit of conspiracy (not that incompetence isn't totally plausible), given people have been bitching about Penske drivers pressing buttons in onboards, you might suggest they intentionally did not bother to do until it got too blatant to overlook.The super duper conspiracy is someone ratted the boss out by manufacturing a technical issue to expose it, but I think it's funnier to imagine someone in on it fucked it up because of such an inane IT issue.
Anyways it's good to see Penske re-embrace its identity as cheating douchebags this year
>>140344174IF YOU AINT CHEATIN YOU AINT TRYIN
>>140338234>>140342878We need the Ford GTP

>>140337298>>Giving the governing body acess to data equals rigged.It can, absolutely, since the "governing body" tends to favor the wealthiest teams.
I'm kind of surprised anyone is surprised at the obvious issues of a team owner also owning the series.
>>140344545Based penske punished himself, a paragon of virtue
>>140344646>We investigated ourselves and found we did wrong
>>140344545It's easy to romanticize because there was a time period there where you had Panoz with ALMS, Forsythe and Kalkovhen with CCWS, and even TG3 with the IRL and the most suspicious shit any of them ever did as far as being a team owner was forcing ALMS to allow a shitty dildo car and talk about how great it was by not having to follow any rules and still never win anything.Mind you technically CCWS' third owner was Paul Gentilozzi who imploded Trans-Am.
>>140344732CCWS having multiple team owners owning the series is less egregious since you have them balancing each other out, same reason why CART worked fine, this however is a problem because you have one team with no checks and balances running things.

>ic race control fucked up so hard it caught penske cheating
the funniest this whole thing is the people reacting as if it was the very first time someone got caught cheating
>>140349754For me, the big takeaway is that Power didn't cheat. IDK why he got a points deduction, other than to peanlize the team for allowing him to have the ability to cheat, even though he didn't use it. What a class act.
>>140349915>IDK why he got a points deductionthink of it as getting caught with drugs>What a class act.i think it's more that he's at a point on his career in which he just doesn't really wanna get involved in this kind of stuff, 10 years ago he wouldn't have questioned doing it, that or his team didn't tell him (hopefully it wasn't that his team is so incompetent that they didn't realize they had it)
I guess I should be more upset about the obvious rigging of last year's 500
What part did Firebird play in all this?
So Penske cheated in the series that they own, and then they caught themselves and are punishing themselves?
WEC would lose a few entries once the 2 car team is made mandatory
>>140343694>>140343932I'm starting to join #TeamShindy, what a shitshow.It's not even about Penske cheating and telling nobody, or Penske investigating Penske and punishing Penske. Not detecting when a car is using PTP when it shouldn't be although the data is there and only discovering it by chance six weeks later, wow. never trust automatic (de-)activation-systems.Also Conor Daly going on record saying he's pushing it during restarts all the time explains a lot.

>>140353737>Also Conor Daly going on record saying he's pushing it during restarts all the time explains a lot.It sounds like the problem is that they are totally incompetent, that is kind of funny but painful
