Why are they so shit at racing?
>>28942383they care more about the pure artistic expression of driving rather than cringe dudebro shit like lap times
>>28942383They chose to go along with globo homo inc (particulary honda) and are now deservedly eating shit because of it, fuck em, they'll be replaced in the big financial reset thats coming.
>>28942383Europe sets the rules. When Japanese cars win, they change the rules.
>>28942383they dont focus on high performance sports cars like some of the euro brands. toyota has done pretty well in WEC though. the gr gt3 might also shake things up a bit, the rc f gt3 is too old

>>28942488the rules allowed that car to win in the first place. it allowed it to run with no ballast while everyone else had to.
>>28942383Japan is an artisan of all trades but a master of none. If they do something theyre never the worst, sometimes the best, but usually above average and exceptional. I think if they cared to take motorsports more seriously, they would be in contention often.
some gook won the indy 500 twice both times with a honda motor.That's not the most interesting race in the world but it's something
Why are you asking hotwheels collectors?The racing in Japan isn't competitive, so you aren't going to foster elite competitors. They also don't have the culture of everything on the line to go pro, it's very hobbyist.Probably this is a combination of social and economic culture. Japan is basically what retards imagine communism is, egalitarian socially and very little personal capital.
>>28942580>fell for the propaganda awardWeebs literally believe this btw
>>28942488this shit again1991 was the first year of the new group C rules, which mandated 3.5L engines and among other things banned rotaries. These rules were outlined back in 1988, so rotaries were already set to be banned (along with every other engine that wasn't F1-derived, fuck you Bernie)Teams weren't ready in 91 and no one knew if the new high revving engines could run for 24h. So the FIA/ACO allowed both old and new cars that season.The C1 category was the new cars. The C2 had the old ones, with an extra 100 kg ballast to make sure they wouldn't sweep everything (most teams still ran the old cars for le Mans). The Mazdas were in the C2 class, but for some reason did not have the ballast (and were even allowed to keep their old weight limit which was already lower than the limit for everyone else in the previous years).So you had the unproven, unreliable new C1 cars vs the reliable but nerfed C2 cars, and Mazda who were allowed to run the cars they had experience with, with no disadvantageBut yeah, the evil whito piggu hated the hardworking Japanese and did everything in their power to prevent them from winning
>>28942383You think a country where drift culture and highway battles is going to make the best track drivers?
>>28942383their eyes are half closed
>>28942834Furthermore, Group C had strict rules on fuel consumption. If you couldn't do the race distance with the fuel you're allocated, tough shit.Mazda had to rev limit the 787B because it was somehow thirstier than the 7.4L V12 Jag was running.
>>28943890>>>28942834>giant wall of eurotrash cope
>>28943906>Regurgitates obvious myths about an overrated car that got lucky once.>I-I-I'm not coping, you are!Kill yourself.
>>28943906>5 lines>giant wallKill yourself.
>>28942383Cultural and socioeconomic factors. Japanese car culture is dying almost entirely despite what influences traveling to niche areas of Japan want you to believe. Cars are a luxury in Japan due to the excellent public transit network, dense cities, rising living costs and infatuation with underage anime girls. This makes cars out of reach for most japanese people when they dont "need" a car. Even just having a parking spot is considered a luxury for anyone near a city. Pair that with communist-tier used car laws and that means most of Japan's cool cars get exported. Young Japanese people want cheap easy hobbies that don't take up a lot of space. Cars are the opposite of literally all of that. Less people interested in the hobby means less selection pool for people to be competitive in a sport.
