First for the closest finish in MOTORSPORT HISTORY.
>>1406351162018 xfinity race at daytona was 0.000 (0.0004 on the race control timing)
>>140635116>>140635214>>140635305Refresh my memory, bros. Didn't the record just get set at Atlanta this year?
>>140635375
>>140635375Yup, NASCAR competition is close as hell these days.
>>140634960Indy Saturday and IMSA Sunday? That's weird. it looks like most of the stuff I want to watch is pretty clear from conflict except Xfinity and Indy a little.

>>140635553They've been doing the Indy GP on Saturday for a while I think. I guess they use Sunday to reconfigure for 500 practice, but idk.
>>140635582kinda dirty, but I guess that's NASCAR for you.
>>140635674rubbin is racin
>>140635674it's fair, buescher tried to stall his momentum and larson returned the favor, neither tried to straight up wreck each other
>>140635697Every day without Pontiac, we stray further from God.
Still seething about buescher not getting the win but it was pretty cool seeing nascar history unfold live, desu
>Endurance Brasil back again this weekend>same day as 6 Hours of SpaFuck sake they can't get the dates right.
>Determination 100
>>140635752I’m going to miss the 6 hours of spa but at least WEC uploads the races on YouTube. WEC, IMSA and NASCAR are gigabased for uploading races to YouTube after the live event.
>>140635801I'll just watch both on two screens as always.
>>140635741Be happy /ourguy/ got the win instead of a fag like Denny
>Sunday night after a day of vrooms and drinking you get a bunch of emails from workSo tired of this shit, just wait. The pay is great, and cars literally got me the motivation to work my way up, but fucking hell it's annoying and I'm thinking about selling everything and quitting just so I can actually enjoy one of my cars. /rant
>>140635305I wonder how close Truex would've gotten if he didn't hit the outside wall. He was flying on the 4 new tires.
>>140636054"I don't care where I go," Alicia answered. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," replied the cat.
>>140635705He was a good sport about it
>>140636614Wonderland? I haven't read it, but I've read plenty of classics. That quote is basically how I think half of team managers operate. Driver always takes the hit.
time for chicagoland and kentucky to return to the schedule

>>140636667"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" are both fairly short, easy to read and really quite excellent.
You stupid fucking retards, that would be barely enough to keep downforce and dirty air at this year's levels if it was being done next year let alone in 3 years.
Truex had a huge run on the leaders when they were side by side on the wall, but he scrubbed the wall himself and had to lift. If not, I think he may have passed both on the outside when they started banging on each other to the line. his in car is kino too.https://twitter.com/MTJhub/status/1787296846068560070
>>140635864I hope Larson gets Wheldon’d at IMS, desu.
>>140645188How special would that have been for the home town hero to get a win
what would happen if they crossed the line at the same time? like there was no existing technology to determine the winner cuz it's so close?
>>140645368Whoever started the race further back would be the winner since they covered more distance in the same amount of time and thus faster
>>140645368officially, if it's actually a tie then they'd go by whoever led the most laps during the race.
>>140645368
>>140645403This seems like a far better idea than these>>140645772
>>140635752>same day as 6 Hours of Spa
gragchads and preecebros.....its so fucking over
>>140646179Here's hoping the solid results Gragson has been getting will have him keep the ride even if the team changes hands.
24 Hours of Le Mans Full Entry List
>>140646179>>140646192Isn’t Dale jr interested in buying a charter? It would be cool to see gragchad driving for jr again
>>140646273Based and hypercar-pilled
>>140646273wow 23 entries for hypercar, thats really sick
>>140646474the only way joonya will go to cup is if nascar pays him
>>140646273It bothers me that Farfus isn't driving the LMDh BMW.
of the 17 races with a margin of victory of 0.010 or under, mike joy has been the lead commentator in 14
>>140646273Is garage 56 gonna show up again or was that a one time thing?

Wheres a good spot to watch race replays? Want to rewatch kansas from yesterday
>>140648036Never mind I'm fucking retarded, nascar posts them on youtube
>>140647965>more viewing areas at the carousel and the dogleg>no video boards God the RA owners are so based, let AHRMA come back you dweebs I wanna race there.
>>140648036>>140648073Look up 'NASCAR VK' and go to videos. It's uploaded already. They also post onboards and other track cams.
>>140647748No Garage 56 entry this year as no one entered. The rules are that you can only run a Garage 56 prototype once so NASCAR/Hendrick can't run the Camaro again. There's some fuckery where teams enter some improved cars like how the ZEOD RC in 2014 was essentially an improved Deltawing with a hybrid electric system. But generally, it's a once-off entry.
>>140646925lets be honest, he has more chance to win in a gt3 than in a hypercar
>>140649298Maybe, but he's their veteran factory driver, feel like he should've been there.
>>140648036Just as an FYI there's a subreddit for motorsports replays, they post torrents and streams where available, it's pretty useful.
>>140645188Oh man, I hadn't seen that. Yeah, if he had stayed out of the wall, he probably would have had the momentum.
>>140646179It is more plausible that Gragson will stayand Preece will fuck back to Xfinity since BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER has better results than him, and Hocevar is at spire because trackhouse cant buy another charter.Also the fact that HMS is ruling the chevy charters now
>>140646273Why is Chip Ganassi Racing billed as Cadillac Racing in WEC? That skid mark redditor Pruett is speculating that Andretti might run Cadillacs next year to strengthen their ties for an F1 partnership but also Wayne Taylor Racing might and also that Myer Shank might get at least one car back. So, basically, 200 words that say nothing. What a fat idiot, any single one of us could have done what he has and more if our dad was a successful IndyCar driver.https://racer.com/2024/05/02/paddock-intrigue-sparks-an-early-silly-season-in-imsa/
>>140652710>Why is Chip Ganassi Racing billed as Cadillac Racing in WEC?Uses the same name in IMSA.
>>140646925>>140649298>>140649595At least they didn't give Grug a seat over him. That's still, weird to me that he's on their roster.
>>140652710>if our dad was a successful IndyCar driver.I don't think he is related to Scott Pruett
>>140648614>>no video boards What does that mean, like no jumbotron TV screens? I like those because you can see the replays of stuff, if you're near them. I walk around the track a lot when I'm at a road course.
>>140652871Oh, I guess not. I'm sure Scott is thankful for that!https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a27184/marshall-pruett-father-inspired-racing-career/
TLDR: I'm going to write a racing movie script, what memes do you want included?Long story: Since the job market for coders still sucks, and my side project/startup idea isn't getting any traction.. I need to find something else to do. I have enough cash saved that I can neet for several years and don't need to get a wagie job to survive. So... I've decided to try screenwriting, and the first idea I have is a racing movie. I don't want to give the plot away, but it's going to be an action/thriller kind of thing that involves racing (it won't be a traditional "sports movie"). What are some good motor/sp/ort memes you want me to include?
>>140652900Road America has those already. they just aren't adding more at this time. but they added new spectator areas for this year.
when almost every fucking race ends with the 2 lap shootout (((overtime))) sponsored by Credit One Bank™®© or is a pack racing track, of course there will be close finishes . NASSLOP
>>140653258Well, you gotta throw a cawshuns breed cawshuns, in there, but that's a weak start.
>>140653704big if true
>>140653704Dont care I enjoyed it
>>140652900Road America takes the whole "national park of speed" thing kinda seriously, a huge portion of the area is full on wilderness, it's like going hiking and there's happens to be a racetrack running through it. It's a big part of the appeal and I kinda like seeing having to see the whole track instead of watching TV.
>>140653875>You are not allowed to like things!
>>140636640CB is a silent killer. He won't publicly say anything and out of nowhere put that chink in the wall one week. Probably not, but would be funny if he did.
>>140654236Road Atlanta is similar, but it's much smaller of course. I really like having the TV at the 10a, 10b complex since that's kind of a big amphitheater anyway. It is an amazing viewing spot because it is at the end of the longest straightaway and is pretty much the best passing zone and I can see the reply of the passes and crashes that happen elsewhere on the track. That being said, Mt favorite spot is and the place I camp is the woods between turns 4 and 5. The big TV across from Spectator Hill, at turn 5 is nice, too.

>>140647134Damn. It's one thing to think of Mike Joy as a font of NASCAR history, it's another to think of him as a part of it. His retirement or death is gonna be one of those that you won't realize how badly you'll miss him until the first race where he isn't in the booth. Not looking forward to it, desu.
>>140653258Something something Big Jaun. You could do the crash, since that would be exciting for normies (and for racing fans, lets be real), but I'll forever respect you if you actually get a character in there called Big Juan.
>>140653258What kind of racing?
>>140635404Well I'll be damned.
>>140653258A journalist character who asks inappropriate questions to females
>>140654236and they do a great job at it. RA would be a good place to camp even if there was no race happening that weekend.
>>140657178until I see Pruett interviewing GabeN at a sports car race you will not convince me they aren't the same guy living two lives
>>140658132I have thought this numerous times.
>>140658391kek, three lives
no wonder Half-Life 3 will never get done
>>140653704I basically just wait until these to tune in, it's not bad ngl
wait...>same guy>three lives>Half-Life 3it all makes sense now
>>140653704
Now that the dust has settled... Do you guys prefer the days when plate racing, short tracks and road roacing ruled, or now that cookie cutters are kino? This car is phenomenal at the 1.5s, there's no doubting this.
>>140651832Him and Chase both had huge runs. Truex had to lift after he got into the wall, but Chase side drafted him as well. I dunno if Truex gets there with Chase beside him, but definitely if not. Phenomenal finish tho, and the Truex onboard is the best angle of the finish.
asscar should fuck off from /turnright/ foreverthe car isn't built for it and the drivers suck at it, frankly it's fucking embarassing
>>140661475Desu, I don't care so long as the schedule has kino racing. So in the last gen, I dreaded these races because I knew they'd suck, but I'd look forward to the short tracks and road courses. But I'm glad I can actually enjoy the mile and halfs after all these years, and I hope the schedule will properly reflect that the car purpose-built to fix what was wrong with races on these tracks gets to see them more often.
Buescher will never call out the golden boy, and it was fair game, but the 17 wins if Larson doesn't hang 2 lefts into his door. Larson was pretty close to sending Buescher wide open into the grass where he likely barrel rolls 10+ times. I feel like Chris has some room to be mad here. Good racing but that's only cuz Chris hung onto it.
>>140661669Phrased differently, if Ross or some nobody had done to Buescher what Larson did it'd have been dirty. And Bowyer and the Fox booth (sans Harv) woulda implied an asterisk. But when Larson does it it's good hard racing. No chance in hell someone like Gragson could hang two lefts into someone's door for a win and not have his driving questioned. When Larson tries to send someone airborne through the infield it's just good hard racin' boys! Chris was about 1 foot from a potential serious injury last night. They're wide open at the at point on the track. It'd have been ugly.
>>140656205Thanks>>140656205Yep, I have Big Juan on the list. I can probably make Big Juan the nickname of one of the main characters actually.>>140657178Lol I'll see.>>140656895>What kind of racing?Unfortunately....... the concept depends on there being races in multiple countries, so it only makes sense with Formula 1. I guess WEC or WRC could also work, but that would be a real stretch in terms of plausibility since they aren't nearly as popular. MotoGP might work, but I don't really watch that and don't know nearly enough about it. I didn't want to ask /f1/ ideas because they're all fags and they have shit memes.Also, to be clear: This movie will never get made. I doubt I'll ever finish the first draft. But who knows... it's fun to think about.
>>140661774>I didn't want to ask /f1/ ideas because they're all fags and they have shit memes.they are merely a symptom of the series they watch, not the disease itself
>>140661751Stop crying about Larson being "dirty." It is not and has never been considered dirty to bang doors coming to the finish. Chris squeezed him up and made contact with him first, it’s fair game after that.
>>140662015banging doors is one thing, seriously watch the replay. look how close Chris was to the infield. I'll link it. they weren't just banging doors on the track, Larson ran him dangerously close to the infield. it's fine CUZ it worked, but cmon man. If Chris doesn't gather it in (and stay in it), this is an ugly finish.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuhBr4ibh2c
Word on the street in tim cindric and other team penske higher ups are facing suspensions
>>140662104If Harrison Burton were driving the 17 he'd have likely have flown outside of the track and be dead now. Let us thank god that Harrison Burton isn't good enough to race for wins.
>>140662104Come on man. Larson did nothing wrong there. He went up after that second door hit and gave Buescher room. The entire field would race that way to the line if they were in position to win. I think we can agree on that.
>>140662149Can I get a QRD on this? I've been so busy with work I can barely even keep up with /turnleft/ news. So Penske got caught using push to pass when they shouldn't...how is that not the most regulated and observed data point in Indy? Like the idea that someone could cheat this seems so absurd. If it were in NASCAR EVERYONE would have done this.
>>140662186All I'm saying is if this ISN'T Larson, it's a questionable move. It nearly sent Buescher flipping through the infield.
>>140662196>Indycar race control has computer issue that prevents anyone from using push to pass for a period of time during a race>Anyone that is, except for two of the Penske cars who can somehow use it normally>Investigation reveals shenanigans are afoot>Whole bunch of whining occurs, Penske team officials claim it's an unfortunate intersection of engineers not having the correct software in the car and drivers just pressing the 'go faster' button out of habit regardless of whether or not they're functional.Whole thing is /probably/ blown out of proportion. Surely if Penske were previously cheating with p2p on starts then race control would've noticed that the penske cars were using it well before anyone else since that's exactly how they got caught to begin with.
>>140662149what do you mean, "facing", "suspensions"?if Roger was serious about remaining impartial, Cindric's ass would be fired already.
>>140662196>series where wrecking other drivers is not only tolerated, but used in official series marketingdo not compare NASCAR to IndyCar.
business idea: bring back Group A, but this time manufacturers will not be little whiny bitches about AWD. they have had decades to figure out this old technology.
actually, ancient technology now. it was already old technology by 1990. but manufacturers are lazy and cheap.
goddamnit, I want 600+ horsepower AWD monster touring cars.
and damnit, I want more power in general. Dario Franchitti's lap record of 1:39.866 at Road America in a Reynard-Honda in 2000 still stands. why?
>>140662196All the p2p data is available and obvious, Hinchcliffe guessed that race control probably doesn't look at it most of the time when it's disabled on restarts, so they didn't notice that Newgarden and Mclaughlin each used it on restarts at St Pete (Mclaughlin only once). Then six weeks later at the warm-up session for Long Beach where the p2p is usually enabled for the only time before the race, race control had other tech difficulties that forced them to disable p2p, which is then when they saw the Penske cars still using it anyways, and it was due to a low-level setup file change that originates from the hybrid testing. They also found that Power had it too, but did not attempt to use p2p illegally, so he only got a 10 pts deduction while the other two were disqualified. Then Newgarden put his foot in his mouth and cried and claimed that his team actually thought it was a rule change. My issue with the whole stupidity is that they wouldn't risk something so obvious on a team-wide basis and then in Power's case, not even use it. Plus I don't even think it helps much as legal advantages they have like dampers. So I don't want to damage control for Penske but I would bet it started as a happy accident and then a few people in the team thought they could get away with it.
>>140663194That long straight especially uphill needs them horsies
>>140663281so lets give em some horsies! let's fucking go! why are race cars getting slower as time goes on and technology improves?
>>140663311Don't worry bro we're adding this 60 lb lump that gives you like 50 hp in short bursts
THIS SPORT IS ALL ABOUT SPEED AND LAP TIMES BUT WE ARE REGRESSING FROM THE SPEEDS AND TIMES OF DECADES AGOENOUGH I SAY
>>140663436meh. not convinced IndyCar will have the hybrid system ready to go for Detroit and Road America as promised...
>>140663504Lol I kinda hope not. They should delay it again and then cancel it when Honda pulls out anyways
>>140663514if Honda quits IndyCar, I'm going to the IMSA weekend at Road America instead. no interest in IlmorCar.
>>140663063BroManufacturers are cancelling their ideal touring car base models, honestly we will get some sort of compact ev suv racing series goyslop at this point soon.Oh we already had a trial for such, called the i-pace etrophy
Link is an interview with President of Road America. tldr: a bunch of small improvements happened to around the track, no more jumbotrons though. The Cup series is welcome back anytime, Xfinity couldn't make it because of scheduling conflicts due to the Olympics. IMSA is as big at Road America as Indycar now. He doesn't think IMSA will increase the length of the race at Road America any time soon, but they're ready for them because of the improvements they made.He also specifically mentioned the lights several times, which I posted about here (and took pics in blizzard(.https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/motor/2024/05/06/road-america-president-talks-track-fan-improvement-indycar-imsa-nascar-runoffs-karting/73475068007/
>>140663632that's why I'm pissed off HungaryBro.race cars should be these wildly powerful and fast machines.
>>140663632Nobody buys them anymore, what do you expect? Euro car companies killed off their budget saloons 20 years ago because everyone started buying hatchbacks instead, and now buyers are all going to crossovers they're following that trend again. If you want to blame anyone, blame legislators for making it illegal to sell anything larger than a shoebox with a 1.2L engine
>>140663680ya I posted it earlier >>140647965but good on you posting it again. Anons need to read that shit. we are lucky in Wisconsin to have based track management that improves the facility every year.
IMSA at Road America should be 6 hours minimum. same as Watkins Glen gets. I'd prefer 12 or 24 but I think RA deserves at least 6.
>>140663735As I understood it, the original owner had passed away some years ago, and his kids inherited it. I believe they owned it for a while and hadn't done much with it, and then sold it off. When I went as kid, there wasn't much around the track, and those improvements were built almost entirely in the last ten years or so.Now that I looked it up, Road America is owned by Road America, Inc, who is in turn own by a Spanish insurance group.
>>140663782I don't disagree, if any tack on their schedule deserves it (other than Daytona and Sebring), it's Road America. We've ended up derailing like, 3 or 4 generals, almost consecutively, when one of us starts going on about it. I imagine it looks like lunacy but it really is that good of a time.$500 nachos at Miami, RA is BYOB. Can't say it enough.
>>140663894informing Anons about the benefits of attending a race at Road America is not derailing, Anon. everyone should go at least once. I met some dudes from New Zealand there a few years ago. Dixon fans naturally, that was before McLaughlin entered IndyCar.
>>140663943Sometimes I feel like a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon missionary when it comes to RA. I don't see anons in Florida or California going on about Daytona or Laguna Scea or about Wtakin's Glen as much as we do.I mean, maybe those tracks suck (I've never been), but the tracks I've been to out of state just don't compare.
>>140664046for me, I'm just thankful that this great circuit exists in my home state. I've had a lot of fun there over the years I've gone. I wish I had been in a position to attend races there earlier in my life. and I highly recommend it to everyone.
imagine how many beers, bratwurst, cheese curds, and eggers you could sell at a proper length endurance race at Road America. it's a travesty that it's not a thing.
>>140662937Only if you add a rule that the cars must be sedans, therwise it will be entirely hatchbacks pretending to be SUVs.
>>140661623Watkins Glen is usually pretty kino, though.
>>140661623>>140665312The problem is the current car package is shit for road racing. Last gen wasn't a problem because the package was great for road course racing, plate tracks and short tracks. The problem in that generation is that the package was dogshit for cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks when that was the majority of the schedule. This generation it's totally reversed. The package is great for cookie cutters (Even Texas Motor Speedway wasn't as offensive like it used to be) and bad for everything else.
Race strategists and a bunch of Penske engineers suspended "multiple events" this monthhttps://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2024/05/07/multiple-team-penske-indycar-officials-suspended-indy-500-cheating-scandal-push-to-pass/73595077007/
Newfag to endurance racing here. So aside from WEC and IMSA, what else is worth watching? Is there an accepted tier list of the various competitions?
>>140666640international gt challenge (bathurst 12/spa 24/burgerking 24/indy 8)gt world challenge (america/eu/asia/australia) has some longer endurance races in their schedules, but usually 3h (plus their sprint races)24H series (despite not every race being 24h long)european and asian le mans series have shorter ones (4h)NLS (formerly VLN) which is exclusively on burgerking, also just shorter onesendurance brasil with 4h races
>>140663782Road America should be 12, the glen should be 12 Indianapolis should be 6 (the sprint last year was pretty kino, desu) and Road Atlanta should be 12 or 24.
>>140668215>Indianapolis will be 6ftfy
>>140668215If Road America were made 12 hours, I would just start asking to make it 18 or 24. Wouldn't be able to help myself.What do you 36 hours of Road America? Surely 40 hours isn't too much to ask for.

I checked the Weather for Spa this weekend and there isn't even a spot of rain predicted and just a light breeze.

>>140668215Indy should be 6 hours and 42 minutes like the first Indy 500 time was
>>140668215>Road Atlanta>24then it would no longer be "Petit" Le Mans
>>140669498and all cars must be fitted with a second seat for a riding mechanic who shall be responsible for the maintenace of the car
>>140669532It should be 12 10 is weird
>>140669705it's weird that IMSA has short races at all. all should be at least 6 hours, except for when they share a street circuit with IndyCar.
>>140661623>the car isn't built for itquite the contrary actually, the problem is the next gen is TOO good at road courses and now they've devolved into fat gt3 snoozers
>>140669878The drivers suck on road courses If everyone was as good as SVG and the dinger we’d get road course kino
Sting ray robb fatal wreck roll check em
>>140669916They should just go to AMA 70s style where they completely separate road/street Nascar from oval Nascar then have an end of season finale at Daytona or Indy road course where they pick the winning series.

>>140669878>next gen is TOO good at road coursesby asscar standards maybe
>>140670040>>140670067So what is the broadcast schedule going to look like? How many different channels are my folks gonna have to keep up with?
>>140669916>>140670093just watch imsa and Fag1 then if you want proper road racing then you fucking queers
>>140670168i think it's 12 fox, 6 tnt, 6 amazon, 12 nbc
>>140670344
>>140663270>it started as a happy accident and then a few people in the team thought they could get away with it.This is what I think happened. The engineers made some kind of mistake, 2 of the drivers discovered it and Newgarden convinced himself that it was legal. Mclaughlin only used it a couple of times, so I think his excuse of just jamming on button is plausible, like pressing the button to call the elevator. I think the penalties were proportional but Newgarden needs to give Palo that trophy, full stop.
>>140670344NBC will broadcast ONLY the playoffs.And, Jr, if you are scooping this thread before the podcast, Force TNT and Amazon to hire a proper Director, at least one that whips the cameramen into focusing on the action and the crashes on sight.
>>140634960Was the whole MotoGP aliens thing a marketing gimmick or were they really that much better than the competition? Imagine they are transported back to when they were twenty-somethings or in their primes and put in today's paddock. How would they fare?For reference, by the aliens I mean: Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Stoner.
I don't even mind the indy roval when they don't do it twice a year>>140670942>I think the penalties were proportional but Newgarden needs to give Palo that trophy, full stop.Kek yeah wtf is that about
>>140670344>>140671010This is so gay, who do I need to write seething letters to about this? Is NASCAR to blame for asking too much, or are the networks to blame for offering too little?

>>140672245If only Joonya unretires Cousin Carl off retirement for this alongside Alan Bestwick.Bonus for Everham.
>>140671229they were certainly better, but also they were the only ones with access to race winning bikes which accentuated their dominance> How would they fare?impossible to say, things are so different now from the 800's, maybe they would be threats for the title if they choked less than the guys today
>>140671229I always thought the "alien" thing was more related to slide control than overall speed, same with Acosta these days, it's the only way to explain guys sliding front and rear at 100+, normal humans shouldn't be able to do that.
So on the indycar scale of its over/we're back where is WRC atm?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUwTy5ggUgc
Anyone buying one of these?I kind of remember last year some anon saying he bought one...It's very pretty.

>>140673881I always thought it was more like:>RossiAlien level racecraft/mindgames, genius at setting up the bike, could win from 11th on the grid.>LorenzoAlien level smoothness, lap after lap with mere miliseconds of difference in times.>StonerUnreal bike control thanks to his dirttrack upbringing, similar to Marquez.>PedrosaErrr. I guess he was pretty smol so could go vroooom.
>>140675498>Pedrosaagile, could pick up the bike off the corner faster than marquez
>>140663483Because every once in a while you gotta rule it back a bit. Group C was approaching 250 mph and no safety equipment in the world is going to save you if you come to a sudden stop from speeds like that.
>>140663782>RA deserves at least 6.Absolutely!
>>140668528What's an endurance race without rain?
>>140669705I think it used to be 1000km or 10 hours. Then they dropped the distance after the merge.
>>140674299I like it. I like it a lot, but I like the older white dile F1 Indy 500 edition a bit more and I like the Carrera Indy 500 a lot more. I don't think you would be disappointed with any of them. I just hate that watchfags look down on Tag, even though they make the best looking chronographs.
>>140678104amd because they hardly ever reached the 1000km mark
>>140663697Thats just bs. You are sucking up the doomer psyop of the manufacturers. In the last few years a lot of well selling cars got canned because said manufacturer is betting on electric shit and they need to retool the manufacturing for those and slim down the supply chain so shareholders can bring home even more millions.The fiesta sales were only seem for example because ford phased out of the markets year by year, but ford went: We want to electrify our rango so we are dropping some models, but hey kids it's not selling anyways 'wink-wink' (prime BS as it was still the 5th or 6th best selling car when ford already crippled the fiesta offerings)And also they said that they are not making enough money on fiestas (they were still highly profitable just not enough to make the shareholders happy).Of course the fiesta is not your 600BHP track car (although it was a base for a 400BHP WRC), this is just shows that the manufacturers many times trying to force their will on the market with slimming down your available choices and not actually trying to satisfy consumer needs.Also cars which got canned in the last few years:Merc CLS, Merc C, S and E class coupes and convertibles, Audi TT and R8 (okay the latter was a halo model), Jaguar XJ and F Type (fucking jaguar became a SUV only manufacturer), VW canning the saloon passat, Ford canning the Mondeo/Fusion and the Fiesta, and the list goes on...
>>140671360>>140671410>>140671010why do you care about turnleft camera work, the interesting bits are usually happening while the broadcast is on a commercial roll anyways
>>140678800There is a lot of truth to what you say, but in America at least, the CAFE laws .ake it very difficult to make medium and small size cars because the "footprint" (LxW) is a determining factor. The bigger the footprint, the lower MPG it is allowed. That's why we have so many fucking huge trucks and SUVs. If you want a big comfortable vehicle with a big V8 you can get a Challenger (RIP soon), or a Cadillac V Series R. Otherwise it's a Navigator, Escalade or pickup. The FWD cuckovers are the balance between foot print and power/comfort. Also, car culture is on the ropes, most people see their car like a personal accessory, not a reason to live, like me.
>>140679311most people see their car like a refrigerator. an appliance.
>>140679311>"footprint" (LxW) is a determining factor. The bigger the footprint, the lower MPG it is allowedthis is so insane and stupidwhy can't we have fun cars with a V8 and the cuckovers and their comically obese bigger brothers in suvs and pickups get the i3 turbos
>>140679423>why can't we have fun cars with a V8 and the cuckovers and their comically obese bigger brothers in suvs and pickups get the i3 turbosLiterally, because the people who pass these laws hate you and want you to basically be a surf. 15 minutes cities and carbon nocturnal emissions are just an excuse to limit your mobility and autonomy. But if you want to carry on that conversation, we should go to /pol/.
>>140679311I want that all the faggots who pushed the SUV shit into mainstream dies horribly, shit is literally the Malaise 2.0 in worldwide scale.
>>140678800>>140679311>>140679385On the electric vehicle meme, I would like to note that this is also regulator driven. They simply set unachievable emissions requirements, with a convenient loophole where if your gas-burning cars can't meet those requirements you can offset them by producing a certain number of electric vehicles. The tech for electrics isn't there yet, we've tapped out the early adopters here but the infrastructure and cost have not gotten to the point where anyone but those early adopters wants an electric, so there's not much market demand. The government's solution is to try and manufacture demand by forcing auto companies to electrify their fleets.At the end of the day, the manufacturers don't care, because they know the emissions targets are unreachable, and as the electric market continues to stall, they can just demand (and get) either reductions in emissions standards which won't change anything in the kinds of cars produced, or they'll get subsidized demand for their electrics, which also makes them happy. Either way, the only people who have the power to change it know they depend on the government to survive, so they won't bite the hand that feeds.
>>140679311I will note that Ford NA directly replaced the Fiesta with the taller version of it the Ecosport that didn't need to get as good of gas mileage but sold like canned poo compared to the FiestaAnyways I have come here to show you possibly the only cool thing in the last 10 years of leaf NASCAR (it's still nepo shit though but at least Ron earned the right to have his kid not take out crippling horrifying debt to race)
>>140679385I live in central europe, here at least half of the civilization thinks about their car as a status symbol or an extension of their persona, so they really care
>>140680995in europe they tried to sell the ecosport well, but it was a horrid farce

I'm bailing on my family on mother's day to go to the race 6 hours away instead. Based or cringe?Context: I live near my parents, but i dislike them.
>>140683582Just do a token dinner or whatever the Saturday before, or something.
>>140683785I'm gone Friday-Sunday¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>140670942Honestly I think Penske Entertainment's race control, which I've heard and believe is underfunded, is a bigger black eye to me than Team Penske. They didn't even notice the illegal p2p usage until they had some other on-track issue weeks later. They already have a bad history of random pit closings and red flags. The 'indycar is a poverty series' perception is not helped by their lack of professionalism
>>140635769>yfw power loses this year's champions hip by less than 10 points
>>140646474junebug wants a bargain, he's not down with the current market value
>>140686205Junior's said before that running a cup team would be like "Lighting money on fire". I can't imagine he'd be too interested unless he's getting significant backing from Hendrick to effectively be a fifth Hendrick team.

>>140688281>fifth Hendrick team.How many cars do you guys think is too many for a given series? For me, 2 is perfect. You get a little insurance against randomness, you can split strategies and you can have your drivers help each out. 3 seems like a lot for one team and 4 would be the absolute limit in any series. I'm interested to knowbwhat you guys think.
McDowell's leaving FRM at the end of this season. Likely headed to Spire.

can't wait for lajoie to get exposed by both of his team mates, also what's gonna happen to zane?
pace car
>>140694346He is driving McDowell's CarAlso Hocevar is only at Spire because Trackhouse, same as ZS who is also Trackhouse.
>>140694346>>140694366My prediction is Trackhouse buys an SHR charter for SVG, picks up a year option on Suarez and sends Smith to Kaulig's Xfinity team. Hocevar definitely has more raw speed and upside than Zane so far.
>>140694393Suarez is still delivering, their main issue will always be they dependent on Hendrick for the engines.A new OEM needs to happen soon.
>>140694100>Zane was so shit he got kicked from his ridewho could've seen this coming

>>140698833thread tourist, typically just watch F1not a ton of motorsport here but they do have rallies and rallycross, drifting, offroading (pic related) and some other stuffoccasionally caught it on tv but never seen it in person, F1 is a lot more popular than the domestic stuff
>>140698094ahem
>>140694363Some Corvettes have that stopped back window but then some have the windows like pic related. Can you guys tell me what that's all about?
>>140699277the engine is in the wrong place tho
>>140699126ThanksAnd yeah, all of the stuff you mentioned is pretty niche motor/sp/orts and doesn't really attract casuals.Maybe we can get Roger to take IndyCar to Iceland.

Monaco Historic Grand PrixBegins Fridayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVawTt3K1_0&ab_channel=GoodwoodRoad%26RacingTicketshttps://www.monacograndprixhistoric.com/
>>140699332The Icelandic 500, I can dig itunfortunately even setting aside the remoteness a grand prix-style event would probably never happen here due to poor conditions like shitty weather and lack of facilities
>>140699632never even heard of that one desubeing slightly facetious, I like mustangs and stuff and the Viper is really cool, but in that price range a mid-engined car feels a lot more attractive like a Cayman or the new Corvette even if the viper is much faster
>>140700029well the Mustang and Corvette are the only options for American cars now anyway. fuck Detroit, fuck this fucking truck and suv bullshit
>>140699306Nah, nothing wrong with a front engine sports car. Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and Aston have been doing fine with them. GM just wanted to capture the Porsche faggot market segment and they did it. A lot of C8 owners are first time Corvette owners and they are a noticeably different demographic than the traditional boomers. I don't really fit in with either, but given the choice, I'll take the latter every time.<t. C6 owner
>>140646273>14 LMDh cars>Only 9 actual hypercars>No SCGSSSSSLLLLLUUUURRRRRPPPPP
>>140700029The Caymen is pretty nice, but the price on C5 and C6 Corvettes in the US is about half as much. The C8 is basically impossible to get for under $100,000 and they said it would start at $70,000 before initial release. Then all the rich midengine fags went crazy pre-ordering causing lead times to go through the roof and adding 30k to the price of any cars that are on the lot.
>>140699388I thought they were all had removable targa tops. The position of that rear-view camera tells me that piece doesn't move.
>>140701144What is Glick even doing now? Returning to Burgerking?

>>140702093>What is Glick even doing now? Returning to Burgerking?Yeah, and I guess they are doing the off road stuff still.
can somebody explain to me how the fuck GM is gonna make a turbo V6 engine for Mikey Andretti in F1 when they can't even make a turbo V6 IndyCar engine? is Ilmor gonna make their F1 engines too?
>>140702579>ignores that Ford's engine is being made for them by a caffeinated sugarwater company
>>140702579>>140703426Racing engines are weird. Even if they are designed by in-house engineers, they are often built by a company that specializes in building engines. It is mostly just named for the company that pays for the project.

>>140709084I'm gonna say it.I do not miss Pontiac. or Oldsmobile. GM had way too many brands. still does.surprised Buick is still around desu. apparently they are considered a "luxury car" in China.

>>140682309Spa, Silverstone, monza, Mugello, Imola, Circuit de la sarthe, hungaroring, and the butgerkingring are all turbobased tracks The slurper tracks are all the middle eastern tilkedromes and shit like Catalyuna
>>140700029The Viper can be considered mid engined, but only by being incredibly pedantic. Still a incredible machine, one of the greatest american cars for sure.
>>140712355>Carrol Shelby designs a car >its based beyond measure Many such cases
>>140712146seems like it would be easier/cheaper/more effective to buy a Porsche 963 and run that as a privateer than try to develop a new car for a dead car brand.>but maybe that's what Porsche wants you to thinkI'm sure Porsche-Penske keeps some secrets to themselves, even if they say they don't. can't trust em...
>>140712320>The slurper tracks are all the middle eastern tilkedromes and shit like CatalyunaCorrect.
>>140712355I'd say the Viper (RIP) was more of a serious sports car in the day than the Corvette. the Corvette was a middle aged man midlife crisis toy. and still is, IMO. the change to mid engine means nothing except the price tag.
>>140712320Agree>>140705374I kind of prefer Saturday races
>>140709381They went away for a reason, in the end. Pontiac and Olds both made some cool cars back in the day, but they produced a lot of shit that either didn't fit as market segments collapsed or just outright sucked.
>>140712403>seems like it would be easier/cheaper/more effective to buy a Porsche 963 and run that as a privateer than try to develop a new car for a dead car brand. Oh, it 100% would be. They want to build their own car instead of running a quasi spec racer built by someone else. I admire that. It's why I liked Glickenhaus and Vanwall and it's why I like Isotta Fraschinin. I don't expect them to win, but I appreciate what they do.

>>140716380Hop on in for the WRC thread, lads
Jusz realized all three big 24h races are in June. It has never been this tight, right? Spa is usually later in the year.Unfortunately I am going to miss Nürburgring :( and the kino champions league finale after that
>>140716882in 2023 a certain series moved the belgian race from late august to late july, which required moving the 24 hours from late july to late june.
F1 zoomers are starting to notice other series and realizing that there is way better racing out there.https://youtu.be/Y-QzVHmFOzg?si=YGbA8cHSf9chp8qOhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yOG_bFru0Ns
>>140713206>the long tail was just a desperate cope to try to keep up with reboddied prototypes.
>>140714806I really want one, but they are so fucking expensive, it's unreal. You can get a C8 for less.
Here your new F1 car, bro.
>>140717845I hope they found out about WRC too.>ywn see Zoomers getting killed for trying to selfie with speeding car in rally.
>>140718169>If we cut holes in the fenders, we can still call it open-wheel, right?
>>140718183Imagine if smartphones were around for the Group B era. It would be carnage
>>140718169>>140718680Liberty media has been a blight in autosports history
>>140710949Now what if I introduce to you the 2025 Risi Competizione Ferrari 499P
>>140718680Well then, all the Hypercar/GTP cars are open wheel too.
>>140717845fuck off we're full
>>140716882Fuji 24 hours 23-25 May
>>140720426Risi LMH would be interestingbut would still root for GabeN
>>140718169But wait. It get worse.

>>140720451Open wheel obsession is stupid. They should just make the cars a fast as they can.
https://racer.com/2024/05/09/indycar-developing-improved-bellhousing/new chassis Rogernow
>>140723718They could just adopt the new superformula chassis and modify it for the v6 and a lower downforce oval spec.
>>140723759pls thisand get Toyota as an engine supplier
>>140722178>>140718169How do they change the tires?
>>140724184Tires?
>>140724184Probably works like the "brake ducts" they had around 2009 and comes off with the wheel. Either way they're just testing to see how much spray comes off the tire and how much is purely aerodynamic (why this is so difficult to work out when we have year and years of closed wheel sports cars to look at I don't know)
>>140718169>>140722178It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my penis to watch commula 1 dying in the gutter like the nwo aids ridden tranny it is.
>DRIVER NEWS: Arrow McLaren announces Theo Pourchaire will pilot the No. 6 at this weekend's #INDYGP.>The 20-year-old is slated to race the remainder of 2024 season with the team beginning at the Detroit Grand Prix on June 2.
>>140726345kid is gonna have to live in a bubble outside of the track to make sure he doesn't get fired
>>140726210I don't want to see F1 die, I want to see it go to conversion therapy.
sports car bros, we got a mention in the Money Stuff newsletter today
>>140710725They were about 4 seconds slower from the fastest lap in both practice sessions today

>>140678104It should be 12 to serve as a bookend to Sebring. And should start at night.
>>140669801One of the big draws of IMSA over the old WSC is that it had short Grand Prix-style sprint races, so you could see the Group C cars running at full speed rather than trying to save fuel and tyres for an endurance event.
>>140728285Some "gentlemen drivers" actually pull their weight.

Have you guys bought your Romain Grosjean sneakers yet?
>>140732915
>>140732565But the fire works won't hit as hard. But seriously, I think it's because they built houses right next to it.
>>140732915Link? I have to know how retardly expensive these things are.
>>140733348$250https://shop.endstate.io/products/romain-grosjean-x-endstate
>>140714271Only privateers actually drive their historic racing cars and they only get cars that were built in some significant number, old testing chassis or customer racing cars.Manufacturers will maybe send their chassis on an exhibition lap if they're feeling generous but those are always chassis that won specific events with all the original parts.
>>140733377That is pretty bad, but it's only 2x what basic Jordan's cost when considering what retards will pay for shoes (I just buy Pumas <$50 at Ross) That color scheme is pretty bad, too.

>>140732311They already moved on from it. Same with Mechachrome.>>140718169Might as well use the design by Ferrari on wheel covers that got banned except they point in opposite directions.
>>140732565Le Mans went nuclear when it was attempted in 1995. Shits fuck.
>>140736791ACO can suck a dick. Petit LM is in October, does not compete with LM24
it's a shame more endurance races don't run from night/dawn into morning (really only the bathurst 12 hour and 24hr spa/nurb/LM)watching the sun come up while cars vroom is more comfy than watching it go down

Hey, they just said the Mustang implemented upgrades to the deck lid and diffuser to keep them from falling off. Eat my whole asshole doomer leaf who said they would have to rehomoligate the entire car. I guess you really don't know everything.I just hope the upgrades work.
>>140740465I'm predicting Penske wins Spa. I wish It was Cadillac, but we all know that ain't happening.
>>140740586>The tweaks count as an official “out-of-cycle” homologation extension (erratum), which were signed off ahead of this weekend following a rapid turnaround by the FIA. The paperwork associated with these tweaks was submitted last Friday by Ford, allowing it to receive the green light before the WEC cars hit the track yesterday in Spa.>“We saw that the issue would stem from the crease at the back end of the boot. We have improved its stiffness to prevent the folding from happening. In competition, we were getting air pushing up from underneath and it was causing that to break the bonds on the stiffening elements that were in place to stop it from folding.https://www.dailysportscar.com/2024/05/10/ford-granted-erratum-fix-for-mustang-gt3-boot-lid-diffuser-issues.htmlnooo, there goes the "rustang loses trunk lid"-bingo-field

Looking at the forecast for Darlington, both Truck and Xfinity qualifying will be rained out, and the truck race will probably start late tonight.

Indy Practice 2 starting imminently
>>140745345Because they also have Black Firestone tires? Everyone in the screenshot went their fastest laps on reds, which isn't really a surprise.
>>140747377lol, I didn't even realize that the color of the logo was what tire they were using, just thought it was the brand logo. As if there was another brand of tire that they could run.
>>140747426Here's P2 so far, no one used reds on their installation laps, so this makes sense.
