>>144579624IGTC is the future of GT Endurance.WEC/IMSA would create a class split between constructors/manufacturers then there will be divide between pro and amateurs. WEC/IMSA/IGTC/24H Series is a huge clusterfuck waiting to be solved.Indycar needs 3 or 4 more development series below NXT.F1 is having an existential crisis as a bespoke development series. They went from Motor Racing Development to Motor Racing or Development.
>bastianini had an electronic issue out of one corner where the bike was giving him too much power under acceleration>had to figure out the issue and use the rear brake to control the wheelspinhow unfortunate, just like pecco's antiwheelie not working properly the last couple of races, wonder what's causing it...
kek, marbula one had red flag due to debris from the track coming apart just like NASCAR a few weeks back
Behold the poor Ducati rider struggling with such an unfair disadvantage because of the combined weight rules
>>144582744George Lucas must be stopped
>>144581689>Indycar needs 3 or 4 more development series below NXT.why? IndyCar teams just take F2 guys anyway
what is the weather looking like for Super GT
>>144584587The Road to Indy already exists
>>144584631yeah and they just ignore it in favor of drivers from the Euro ladderNXT champion Foster probably won't even have a ride in IndyCar next season
>>144581689>F1 is having an existential crisis as a bespoke development series.big true. can't stand f1 anymore as a previous f1 enjoyer. current FIA and Liberty media fucking ruined it. That being said I've been enjoying Supercars and GT3 America recently.
>>144581689>IGTC is the future of GT Endurance.they need to get more teams interested in doing all the races
>>144584609shit
>Indianapolis meme course has a 6 hour race >road America has a 2 hour 40 minute sprint Shan’t abide this
>>144585711Indy also has 8 hours for IGTC/GTWC Americabut yeah, wtf is this disrespect for Road America
>>14458576624 hours at road America would be excessively based
>>144585711Didn't RA only recently upgrade their facilities? Indy has probably had better/larger facilities for longer

the only things that Indy has that Road America doesn't:1. Roger Penske's money/influence to get races2. permanent garages
>>144585912the most annoying thing about Super GT and Super Formula is that they throw the red flag at even the slightest hint of moisture.
>>144585711They hate living in the woods simulators I would camp there. Maybe not during bug season.
>>144585971Imagine chilling innawoods down the back straight at Elkhart lake just past the kink late at night
>>144585806even 6, 8, 10, 12 hours.2 hr 40 min is nothing, especially when you consider IMSA's abuse of caution periods. half the race will be yellow.

Super GT in an hour...maybe
>>144586778fugg
>>144586778As I read, you can add another 30 minutes on that
does Super GT have any kind of support races? or are you showing up for Super GT and that's it.
Suarez burning Gibbs' RR off to secure his passage to the second round was impressive driving in a shitbox car.
>>144585965Meanwhile anon's idea of "slight moisture" is so much fog you can't see your feet.
>>144587134fog schmog
>>144586903Japanese F4 for most of the rounds and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia for some of themJudging by the conditions of the F4 race earlier it's not looking good for us bros...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGp8Yl-hJ6U
>>144587161hmm. I guess that's better than nothing.Supercars race weekends are packed full of support races. seems like a good deal for the fans. wish I could go someday.
>>144585711The only way to redeem the Indy Road course would be to incorporate the backstretch.
rovals suck.the 24 Hours of Daytona is famous for being a long-running 24 hour race, not the quality of the course itself.
>>144587661It must have the highest banking of the big endurance races
>>144587786yeah but who cares? the banking of the oval is the only special feature it's got. you can't build a proper road course if you are stuck within the confines of an oval speedway.
>>144587821
>Twin Ring Motegi>try to combine oval for IndyCar with road course for everything else>now oval is earthquake damaged and unused>and you are left with a subpar road course, design compromised by trying to fit most of it in the oval>rename it to Mobility Resort Motegi?Motegi is not technically a roval, because the road course exceeds the boundaries of the oval, but still.
>>144587661I don't know but I always get crazy vibes from the Daytona 24, especially in the night and during golden hour. Nighttime onboards from Daytona are just therapeutic
even motorsport.tv aren't starting coverage of super GT for another 25 minutes
>>144588000shamefur disprayput on the rain tires and let's go
>>144587191I'm still livid that they've replaced TSS with F1 Academy as one of the Grand Prix support races this weekendI was keen on attending just for TSS like I did last year but fuck that I guess. Those GT3 cars were mental in person
>>144588049what! bullshitthough I will admit it was kind of annoying to have the TSS Singapore race appear on the TSS YouTube channel weeks later with no commentary at all due to dumb F1 broadcast rights shit

>Japan F4 did 2 parade laps under SC and red flagged the sessionSuper GT isn't happening is it? Should I just go to bed so I can wake up in time for MotoGP?
>>144588085It was kinda sad to see the stands being mostly empty during the Carrera Cup and TSS races in the afternoon, but packed to the brim for F1 goyslopI'm always more than happy to brave the scorching mid afternoon heat just for some sports car kino
>>144588164the problem with how f1 schedules things is that most weekends will have the support races pretty early in the day, and the f1 race hours after the last one finishes. This is especially true for when it's a non-f1 feeder series support race like porsche cup or a local series. Nobody wants to show up for the early race and then sit around with nothing to do for 3 hours afterwards
>>144588118>12:30 AM Super GTdoubt it lol>5:10 AM GT2 European Serieswhat's the deal with GT2? SRO keeps pushing it but it doesn't seem to be taking off as a class. and frankly I think it's insulting to the GT2 class of old for them to call it GT2. it's more like GT3.5.>8:05 AM McLaren Trophy Europeit's a rule. every sports car manufacturer MUST have their own one-make series to copy Porsche.>11:40 AM IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship - Race: TireRack.com Battle on the Bricksas we have said before in this thread, where is the love for a proper endurance race at Road America?

>>144588580basedthank you
Said it last night and I'll say it again. Trackhouse should switch to Ford, or better yet, Ford should do whatever it takes to get Trackhouse. SVG is wins, Ross is excitement, and they have Zilisch signed to their roster (loaned to JRM next year). Chevy will always favor HMS, and I don't even hate Chevy for this, but Ford is notorious for treating all their teams fairly. They'd fill the void left by three SHR cars leaving.
RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
were going to get vrooming soon wont we
:( grimgive miku racing some energy
boogity
>>144588695Marks could always start up his own engine program or suffer a few more years until the fourth OEM returns and get top-tier support.
>>144588837He could, but why would he when Roush-Yates engines exist?
damn this race has been absolute kino so far
ah my favorite commentary team. shouty preachy Brit, and monotone Brit.
fuggggg bros
It's curious that when Harv noticed an otherworldly talent (Zilisch) racing with his son, he immediately connected him with Trackhouse development. I know Kev and Ross are buds, but that's kinda weird, no?
>>144588782any potential future entry of Mercedes-AMG into WEC/Le Mans LMGT3 is illegitimate unless it's Goodsmile/Hatsune Miku.
>>144588955i loved when they went to europe for a bit, watching the commentators try to explain what anime is will never not be funny
>>144588964anime livery turns the absolutely most boring, utilitarian GT3 car into something special.
>>144588988its such a cool looking livery
what engine does the GT300 version of the Toyota Supra use? is it the same V8 from the GT3 Lexus RC F?I ask because the upcoming 2026 Supercars Supra will be using that Lexus V8 as well.
lost wheel
I get that Impul had to switch from Calsonic to Marelli, but they could have at least kept that same shade of light blue. that dark blue is disgusting.
FCYSC
>>144589027race car liveries should POP.doesn't need to be anime necessarily, but bright colors. too many boring liveries these days.>inb4 the main sponsor wants the car in their corporate colorswell then their corporate colors suck.
>>144589081i hope they change it
rain in 5
>>144589158damnit noo
a lil powerslide and an overtake? god damn

D'Station off
I admire the dedication of the people who wave those giant flags in the stands all race long. their arm muscles must be huge.
>>144588874cuz Ford has just as many mouths to feed as Chevy does. they'd be stuck on an island with zero help just like what happened to LegacyMotorClubFormerlyPetty. who would they ally with? Penske already has the Wood Bros, Roush has RWR.. Front Row?? doubt it

>>144583882kek
>>144585965>Super GT and Super Formula is that they throw the red flag at even the slightest hint of moisture.Meanwhile, BTCC is under water.
>>144586430>Implying Indians don't have shovel technology I mean, they just chuck bodies in the river instead of buying them...
>>144587191>Supercars race weekends are packed full of support races.Yeah, that shit is unreal. The track jannies never get a break. I especially like those little Australian Racing Cars with the motorcycle engines. The on track product is right up there with MX-5 Cup and BTCC in terms of close competition and nonstop action.
>>144587474Yeh, with a bus stop like the GOAT roval, Daytona. It's strange that such a good oval can make such a shitty roval. Even Charlotte is better.
>>144587661>>144587786>>144587942>>144587821>>144588270Daytona is a solid track and they have been slowly improving it over the years. Clearly the banking is the defining feature, but the corkscrew isn't the only thing that makes Laguna Seca great and sure, the infield is flat, but so is Silverstone.Just looking at the track maps side by side, you can immediately see some differences. First, Daytona uses way more of the oval. It's probably 95% of the course, while Indy isn't even 25%. It also looks like the infield sections were designed to reflect their respective ovals, which I understand, but what makes a good oval doesn't necessarily make a good road course. Daytona has rounded, sweeping turns (look at that sexy bitch between 12 and 1) with two nice tight hairpins. Pure sexo. Indy on the other hand is very square with only two turns that are less that 90° and then only just. The biggest issue with fixing the Indy roval is that the infield is so built up. It has a ton of facilities, including part of a gold course. It would be immensely difficult to change much about it without disrupting that. I do think adding the back straight with a bus stop would help, though.
>>144591729Adding to that, Daytona is massively fun to drive in sims
>>144587918Why didn't they ever fix it and run Superu Formularu on it? I know it's expensive, but surely they could figure it out by now.
>>144588164F1 is absolutely for casuals, although as a supreme racist, I do watch most of the races, but logistically going to a race, especially innthe middle of a major city, is a pain innthe ass. Plus>>144588210Which I think they probably do to ensure they have plenty of time to fix any damage the shitter series do to the track.>>144588488The way things have gone this year, it's pretty clear sportscar fans have more tolerance for weather than the sanctioning bodies.
>>144588469F1 style.Larson led basically the entire race and finished 6 or 7 seconds ahead of Elliot on a track with a 15 second lap time. There was some was some exciting racing up and down the field and some cool working through traffic, but Larson was never really threatened for the lead.
>>144588782>>144588955>>144588964>>144588988>>144589027>>144589109I must constantly remind myself that this is an anime site.
>>144591946I only ever drove it in Forza Motorsports 1, kek but yeah, it was kino.

This is not good.
Ugh, fell asleep "watching" F1 slops and missed most of BTCC race 2.
Very untidy start of the race. Shitter tier basically
wonder how many cars went straight on purpose

>>144592431At a minimum they would have to completely demolish and reconstruct the 3-4 end of the track and Super Formula is never going to race there. Nothing is ever going to race there, Honda had to pay them a bunch of money just for Shindy to show up because they'd cry about their food coma boomer audience not being able to stay awake later than 9pm, even without the earthquake it would be pretty much unused since 2011 except for demo runs.Motegi in general just sort of went that way as a mature facility, the dirt short track also disappeared a long time ago once the novelty wore off.

>praise be to Allah
>>144625588
>>144627891>25 charters (top 22 charter cars eligible for leaders circle payouts)>Prema does not get any charters (and are thus ineligible for leaders circle even if they beat a charter team in the standings)>27 car grid cap for every race (besides Indy's usual 33)>charter cars are guaranteed entry (at every race besides Indy)if one of Prema's drivers were ever somehow contending for a championship, their rivals could enter an extra car to try to outqualify them and hurt their championship chances. it's unlikely but possible.
>Penske Entertainment retains permanent ownership of each of the 25 charters that were distributed. With its approval, which also includes receiving a percentage of any sales, Penske will welcome new entrants to the series, or the sale of charters from one member to another lmaoSo was Penske's phone call to encourage the holdouts to sign "sign this fucking shit or we'll sell it to Prema bitch" like when he pressured PT into signing a contract where he'd get paid with the spare change Roger found in Al Jr's couch?
>>144632619>"sign this fucking shit or we'll give it to Prema bitchfixed. now Prema will have to buy out another team if they want charters (and leader's circle money)
>By leaving it out and making it the domain of IndyCar’s sporting regulations, the series’ parent company has given itself the latitude reduce the cap in the coming years to no more than 25 cars — to match the number of charters – which is expected throughout the paddock.Literally why is Prema flushing money down the toilet to race in this series that could not make it any clearer they don't want them? It's not like they can even offer competitive rates for rent-a-rides to anyone but the absolute shittiest shitters that never hoped to have their car in the top 22.Also the 3 drivers per season rule on paper might seem like it would improve entry quality but it also means a team like Coyne potentially can't run an actually talented young driver who might only have funding for one or two races in between rich pay drivers and has to focus on the guys with the most money.
>>144632912>Also the 3 drivers per season rule on paper might seem like it would improve entry quality but it also means a team like Coyne potentially can't run an actually talented young driver who might only have funding for one or two races in between rich pay drivers and has to focus on the guys with the most money.it also means that the 3rd Ganassi car will ALWAYS be taken by a pay driver shitter like Simpson. possibly the 3rd car in the other 3 car teams too, but Chip is the most notorious for this. the only team I trust not to use the 3rd charter as a pay driver seat is Penske.
>>144631938Pretty sure they're facing West.
>>144631938they are praying that the FBI doesn't fuck their shit up.
>>144631691Don't care.Still going. I've been there when the water on the track was deeper than the maximum ride height of the cars.
>>144625588That was actually pretty based because I went grocery shopping during the rain and just listened to RLM on my phone.
So were there people at the IMSA race or is it just a Penske vanity project
>>144633675Yes.
>>144633675both things can be true
>>144633121All directions face mecca eventually
>>144633942That's not how it works for the people that claim to have invented math.
>.@TheCW got 906,000 viewers for its first ever NASCAR race broadcast, Friday's Xfinity Series Food City 300 at Bristol, the channel's highest rating for any program in eight months.
>>144634262lol, fucking grim. Owners of that channel probably think this is a good look because the rest of their assets are shit.
>>144634533fake digits
>the year is 202X>in a strange and unlikely turn of events, Callum Ilott/Prema and Felix Rosenqvist/MSR are competing for the championship>it's down to the final race, the Nashville oval>MSR enters Helio Castroneves in a 3rd non-charter car>Ilott qualifies p3>the other Prema driver qualifies p2>Castroneves qualifies p1>Ilott is bumped out of the race due to Prema's lack of a charter-guaranteed entry, handing the championship to Rosenqvistextremely unlikely yes, but the fact that this scenario is even a possibility concerns me.
>>144634553not trying for digits, just trying to spell Ilott's name right kek
>>144634018you can't "invent" math. "discover" math, maybe.
>>144634591no one's gonna crucify you for spelling someone's name wrongthey're just gonna maybe meme on you and that's itdon't worry about it anon
>>144634627thanks Anonbut I know I did it wrong and it bugs me
>>144634620>you can't "invent" mathThen why do they call it 'maths' anon?
>>144634648>Then why do they call it 'maths' anon?"they", meaning the Bri'ish.
>>144634675I grew up calling it 'mathematics'...
another (unlikely) scenario that pisses me off:>Callum Ilott/Prema wins the championship>gets $0 from the leader's circlethe only team that should be barred from leader's circle money is Team Penske.
no idea why Prema agreed to enter the series under these conditions, unless there is a secret plan for them to eventually take over the charters of one of the shitter charter teams (Coyne? Carpenter?). if not, they are getting FUCKED for no reason other than being new. welcome to PenskeCar, bitch.
>charter entries limited to 3 different drivers per seasonit's being called "the Dale Coyne rule", but maybe it should be called the Zak Brown rule instead.
>>144634438would be funny if WWE and NASCAR crosses over for views, and there is a NXT sponsored car
>>144635984there was nothing wrong with the name Indy Lights
what I want to know is, who were the two teams that allegedly held out from the charter agreement until Roger called them up and presumably threatened them into agreeing.
>>144635984

>>144638099graveldue to the fucking single tyre supplier cancer, mixed surface events are outlawed, because that would mean poor pirelli would need to spend more on logistics...Honestly I've never seen an motorsport series where the switch from tyre war to exclusive single supplier actually helped the series. The supplier be it poorelli, michelin,han-gook or anyone else is not incentivitized to actually spend more than the bare minimum because they have no competition, and by beaing the sole supplier they can impose and pushthrough bullshit rules for their cost savings, they just need to say the magic word "safety" or saying "it will improve racing", theexpression promoters would sell their moms even
>>144639761sorry for being this much of an ESL, it's fucking 3:00 am and I only slept 2 hours in the last 27 or so
>>144639761>gravelI consider that dirt. add sand and mud in there too.> The supplier be it poorelli, michelin,han-gook or anyone else is not incentivitized to actually spend more than the bare minimum because they have no competitionthis is why we need to bring back tire wars in racing.
>>144639678sounds like a lot of snacks to me
>>144639798it's ok Hungarybroget some sleep
are you ready for rally chile gents?
>>144639866I was finna get some snacks on my way home from work but then I realized that I have food at home that I must eat first. snacks cost too much these days.
>>144639949hell yeah. let's go.
>>144639979gotta look for stuff on salegood time for halloween candy deals
>>144639866thought that >>144639910 was response to you, started typing, then saw >>144639798>>144639761and got all confused and shit (drinking and watching NFL). Started over. Good luck snack bro, been eating fried pig skin. Already forgot about what the other posts were.
>>144640033candy is tasty but worthless
>>144640024i do love having 'muricans to watch a rally with, not many round these days
>>144640044fuck all forms of football, from divegrass to handegg.
>>144640063rally is my second favorite form of motor/sp/ort after sports car racing.unfortunately most of my countrymen are only aware rally exists due to Ken Block (RIP).
>>144640109Be lost and confused when the gambling sponsors enter motor/sp/orts
>>144640151ken block's death hit me like a fucking brick wall, i watched him alot growing up, he put rallying to the masses, when he passed away it was an incredibly grim day
>>144640200sports gambling has already ruined ice hockey, the only other sport I watch other than motor/sp/ort
>>144640245It's coming. You can already gamble on politics and the weather.
>>144640212I'm not trying to talk shit on Ken Block but it seems most in my country were interested in the burning tires spectacle of the drifting aspect rather than the making the fastest time on a rally stage aspect.
>>144640316I don't gamble
>>144640329>it seems most in my country were interested in the burning tires spectacleyeah, that was the whole point retard. It was a marketing gimmick every time. >>144640361Every choice is a gamble.
>>144640329well that was the whole prospect of gymkhana, doing crazy slidey shit in rally cars, i dont think that kind of fanbase even knows ken block was an actual rally driver lol
>>144640381l>>144640384>yeah, that was the whole point retard. It was a marketing gimmick every time.I can't get into drifting because the actions required to be good at drifting are the complete opposite of the actions required to be fast on a race course or time trial
>>144640044thanks>>144640053just gotta get the right kinda candy, something with nuts in it is........semi-nutritious
>>144640500i think of drifting as an art, you can get basic drifting down fairly easily but to get really good at it, man does it look tidy, its not "who gets there fastest" but moreso "who gets there in the most smooth, badass fashion"
>>144640521I'm down with chocolate covered raisins/peanuts
>>144640657fine but preserving tires is also an art
>>144640500I worked in the desert and in the arctic for years. Drifting is probably the fastest way to drive in a rally type environment. Being able to control and correct a drift or dive is something every pro driver needs to know how to do. >>144640521pecans, or wasabi almonds.>>144640685>t.califag
>>144640725which i dont argue with, but preserving tires is alot more gay for the viewer
>>144640731>t.califaghow dare you.t. Wisconsinite and regular attender of Road America
>>144640796eh, I guess that checks out.
>>144640777I mean, I guess. but I think WRC drivers are fans of durable tires as well. hopefully Hankook can do better than Pirelli has.
>>144640849The tire meme needs to die. Let the teams develope their own tires.
>>144640849not likely if they have to play by FIA rules, the gooks would probably make good tires but the FIA/WRC promoter are gonna say "NO CHINGCHONG NO GOOD TIRE" and have them fail for the "spectacle"
>>144640893TIRE WARS LET'S GOexclusive contracts promote laziness.
>>144640937Teams make their own suspension and aero parts, it only makes since that they make their own tires as well. It's the only thing all these faggots talk about. How the chassis, suspension, and aero are goint to fuck the tires. And the drivers have no fucking clue, the team has no clue, like just call it 'FUCK IT, TIRE LOTTERY' at this point. At least some faggots engineer some shit.
>>144640914Super Taikyu had to do an emergency switch to Bridgestone because the main Hankook factory started on fire...maybe Hankook have recovered their production capabilities now, but still, it's sus.
>>144641014i hope they do well but i dont have faith, atleast not for the first year
>>144641055they just have to do better than Pirelli
>>144640200They already have.
>>144641135maybe in a few years but i kinda doubt it
>>144641229well apparently the FIA thought the other suppliers (Michelin, Bridgestone?) were too expensive.
>>144641168It's not advertised directly yet in any motorsports that I'm aware of. Like showing stats, or announcers mentioning margians or whatever.
>>144641248the tire wars was kino back in the day, it is quite sad that the FIA monopolizes the tire manufacturer with only one supplier, the tire wars actually benefits the customers buying tires down the line
>>144641280shouldn't the governing body of these so called World Championships demand the best quality tires regardless of price?
>>144641430its like with military contracts, you take the cheapest bidder and just hope it goes well
>>144641454well that fucking sucks if I'm a soldier and I want my rifle to go BANG every time when I pull the trigger.
>>144641490from my time in the army, military grade is just whoever got the cheapest contract but milked the defense ministry to overpay for some cheap piece of shit, its similar in the tires for one-make tires series
>>144641519name the industrytoo much corruptionnot enough quality product
>>144641454In this case it's highest bidder because this shit exists just to be a revenue stream for the promoter. It's the teams that get to overpay for garbage on the back end, whereas many would otherwise get free or subsidized tires.
>>144641278Try watching the next NASCAR Cup race.
>>144641640shant watch NASCAR ever again until stages and playoffs are removed
>>144641671Guess why those things exist.
>>144641735because a large number of dumb retards watch it
>>144641869i watch turnleft but i dont even know half the drivers
fuck Formula 1 and fuck NASCARfree IMSA from NASCAR ownership
>>144640063business idea: rally starting in Ontario, going through Manitoba for a bit, then across the border and going through Minnesota and Wisconsin.call it Rally North America if you like.
>>144638855I'd like you to know that my life is based around your spreadsheets. Thank you for your autism.

So in NASCAR if you buy a charter off of Rick Ware you are presently guaranteed to get $5m just for showing up, supposedly increasing to $8.5m next year.In Shindy if you buy a charter off of Dale Coyne, you get basically absolutely fucking nothing.Like if you want in and somebody wants out, do you even bother buying their charter or just show up and take the grid spots lmao.

Right now I would say 60/40 or 65/35 percent [of it happening].>Proton is likely to be the only customer of Porsche’s LMDh car in the WEC next year, following comments from Porsche Motorsport boss Thomas Laudenbach, who indicated that they’re not currently in any advanced talks with other teams.Aww yiss, /FAT/bros we eating good in 25. I hope Proton brings Gimmi, Rocky and Picariello over to WEC if that second car does indeed happen, but on the IMSA front it'll be sad if the Mustang Sampling car becomes a Michelin Endurance Cup exclusive entry

>>144642320Bring back the Sno*Drift in Michigan, second rallye of the season.
>>144591729You made me want to sketch out a quick and dirty revised Indy road coarse. Clockwise, of course, with two layouts. Standard layout has the fast sweeping right off the main straight into S curves, then straight up into an increasing radius right that slings you across into a fast left and onto the infield straight. Then a really fast left into a slow decreasing radius right hairpin inspired by the hairpin at Fuji, ran backwards. Then a medium left, fast right, onto the speedway T1 and around to the brickyard. Alt turns off at the esses and back onto the oval, goes through speedway T3, then a bus stop on the back straight, then a right to rejoin the infield layout at the hairpin.
>>144640500>I can't get into drifting because the actions required to be good at drifting are the complete opposite of the actions required to be fast on a race course or time trialDrifting as in Formula D is... not interesting to me, but I respect the skill and difficulty. It's still throttle control and steering input. IDK
>>144640937>exclusive contracts promote laziness.What do you mean? Are you saying Dunlop or whoever wants to be on the car that always gets a flat tire or loses grip before the end of a stage? Tire wars are based, especially in sports cars. I miss the days of regularly double and tripple stinting tires. The most we get is let sides only and that Cadillac win at Long Beach, but that wasn't even a real double stint and when they tried it at Laguna Seca the next race it cost them big time. The only thing that sucks about a tire war is when one manufacturer just gets it totally wrong and half the feild is fucked before the race starts.

>>144660771It would be kino to see him do a hat trick but I sense a Kalle comeback, he will have pretty good road position.Might be a cheeky 4maux or Pajari podium
Rossi to ECR is confirmed
>>144648456More privateers and small boutique OEMs make me happy

>>144661922I love them as well, but having the proton porsche is just unnecessary porsche spam while the grid is pretty tight. Current meta is to get as much unique manufacturers, be it big brand or a bespoke manufacturer like vanwall or glick.Then when they eventually leave they will either hand down their programme to privateers or sell their cars to themThis is the way to lenghten the lifespan of the regs as much as we can.Also proton could run a factory program
https://twitter.com/ECRIndy/status/1838971727931384179Ed Indy-only?
>>144663528With Jota switching brands, it’s just them and the factory team right? Not too bad regarding porsche spam
>>144664520With the new Splenda money I would bet on it
>>144656995True. I'm a big Denny hater, but an 11 without FedEx on it just feels wrong. He's been repping them what, a decade? Maybe even more.I hate that the economics of sponsorships in this sport have killed consistent paint schemes. It deprives drivers of some of their mystique. What would Gordon be without DuPont? What would Dale be without Goodwrench?
>>144663366Has the lost M3 GTR been found yet?
>>144664677yeah but hyundai and aston coming in, vanwall also trying, there is also the honda/acura program which might be looking to cross the atlantic and also Lambo will need to field a second car next yearGrid is limited for 36 cars due to pit size, 18 Hypermeme, 18 dentistmobileConfirmed Hypercar manufacturers for next yearCaddy,Toyota, Poogeot, Porsch, Ferrari, Alpine, Lambo, Aston, BMWThats already 18 and Hyundai will come in 2026, Mclel possibly in 2027
>>144666221dropping gt3 is not feasible, but something needs to be made.Hypercar manufacturers automatically gain entries for LMGT3 and it's up to them if they use it. Mclel and Ford can only have cars in LMGT3 bc the 2 french hypermeme dont have gt3 cars atmSO maybe we are looking the stang being denied an entry next year if there will be additional porsche lmdh apart from the factory team
>>144666286This is of course about WEC, lemons with it's 56 car limit is a bit better looking in this regard and the acurahonda may only goes to WEC for the lemans, but that would need a lot of lobbying for waivers at FIA as currently only hypermeme allowed at lemans are from manufacturers participating the full seasonAlso the corvette is using the caddy entry i believe
Akkodis would have to inevitably race the LFR.
>>144664745>a decadeReal zoomer hours
>>144666870coooooooooooool
>>144666286In principle 24 hypermemes and no field filling ProAm faggotry is a totally viable championship. Could probably get some extra privateers if they knew they would get spots.
The amount of effort they are putting into running this bike on the wrong tire in JSB1000 feels like it would only make sense if Honda actually bothers having a factory superbike team in the US againThat is one chunky boy swingarm, anyways.
>>144667594>That is one chunky boy swingarm, anyways.Not sure if it's the case here, but I do know that the new 'trick' is to 3D print stuff that's in less than traditional shapes that are CAD designed to minimize weight and maximize strength. That swingarm shape reminds me of that.
>>144668061There's some of that stuff starting to be used but that is almost certainly still machined from a big block of aluminum and cost >$10,000. Attack Performance will sell almost every part on their superbikes except the swingarms just because they take up so many CNC machine and labor hours better spent on higher volume items.

>>144667050Exactly. What I would be happy to see:-WEC name becomes an umbrella term (World Endurance ChampionshipS)-LMGT3 spun off into a FIA Global GT series-Hyper spun off into the new FIA Sportscar World Championship-Don't focus only on endurance, have a few "sprint" races every season in the 300-500KM ballpark, instead of the current minimum 1000-Make it a mostly Pro series and ditch the bronze shitter pleasing rules-Also invest in some dts tier faggotry to lure in more sponsors
Started to make calculations about what is the earliest Neuville will be able to grab the championship.Interestingly, Only neuville scored full points on a single rally, since then the winner either did not take 18 points on saturday or cruised on sunday
>>144662063>2026With the shit thats about to happen to the world economy? Try 2126.
>>144669488the collapse is inevitable but the when is sg Im not sure about. Why would it be 2026 ? we are hearing about the bubble popping anytime soon for 6-8 years at this point
>>144668635Congrats you just described IMSA, which no one watches (unfortunately)
>>144669705Why do you think the war shit is kicking off everywhere now? They need it to keep the banks going a little longer and while the money can still buy them bullets.
>>144669742the fuck you talking about ?IMSA has not just gt3 but lmp2 (other bronze driver dentist category), two thirds of the field is non hypermemeI was talking about something completely different Bubba
>>144669817jeeeeeeeesus idiot, McZoomer get off your uneducated brain from /pol/ or if you already rotting your mind there read that damn 1984 the edgelords really likehow does it feel to parrot some mouthbreather logic?
>>144663528The issue is all the wasted paddock space for LMP2. considering the Hypercars are about as fast as pre-2020 LMP2 cars, there's simply no reason for the P2s to still be on the grid. They had to artificially gimp them to keep them from being faster than the HCs. Just give P2s their own sprint race championship with no GTs. Like a tin top F2.
>>144671476What you described is how the WSC worked in the 60s and 70s. Championship of GTs and Championship of Manufacturers. GT championship competed between Group 4 and Group 5 cars, Manufacturers for Group 6. Group 6 was entirely works teams, 4 and 5 was mostly privateers.
>>144662063no more India, no more Kazakhstan
>>144674728WRC thread is up
>>144672664Or post 1986 (mostly)
>>144674985From 1982 onwards there was no world GT championship. Group B circuit racing failed to gain traction, it wasn't until GT1 arrived in 1993 that there was major international GT racing again. IMSA was as close as it got in the 80s

That they aren't necessarily ultra rich like the NASCAR and open wheel wannabes that would never have to worry about needing space or money? It always feels fucked up to me that their family blows all their money and they flame out instead of racing longer at a lower yet fairly similar level. Maybe it's just because I imagine it going that way if I had tried to become a pro racist.
