Good evening race fans
>>150398682>11:30 AM: Indy NXT (Season Final)>2:30 PM: IndyCar (Season Final)We hardly knew ye.
>>150398763Grats to the norweegee making Indycar :D hes been nothing short of dominate
IT'S CONOVER
and we are back!that was one long break...
>Rasmussen>Assmussenmore like KICK-YOUR-ASSmussen.
>>150398763fuck football. all forms of it.
>>150398821who's Hauger gonna drive for though? Andretti? but to be fair, Dan Towriss and Mark Walter dumped Michael Andretti like it was nothing, so Ericsson should be scared right now. that team is in the hands of cold-blooded businessmen.
>>150398821>2025 has PWL and HWL>2026 turns out to be Palou v Hauger
>>150399313as a Norwegian-American I welcome the battle against the Spanish prodigy
>>150399349we all know that Honda will cheat the hell out of CGR cars
>>150399084that dude needs to stop talking shit about other drivers, you might have to interview them on your podcast next week. (Daly's Speed Street podcast is the official unofficial podcast of IndyCar now, that's how he gets these interviews)
>>150399374Andretti is also a Honda team
>>150399230>Not enjoying both and therefore having awesome shit to watch year round ngmi
>>150399428But it isnt Chip Ganassi
>>150399412To be fair, Assmussen is kind of an ass and I'm sure he'd be crying like a little bitch, too if Daily had punted him in their gay little slap fight. Rossi, is an asshole, too and so is Ferrucci. Especially Ferrucci. In addition to Daily, he had cause problems with Grosjean and Kirkwood as well.Some people are just assholes, what can you do about it? Wreck 'em first, I guess.
>>150399598>Some people are just assholes, what can you do about it?win a race, in a season where few drivers other than Alex Palou have been able to do so.
>>150399428Probably not for long, I'd imagine. What with the Cadillac F1 deal and everything. I would bet they will be aligned with GM eventually. Definitely when we see a new car, if any of us live that long, that is.
>>150399558wrong, sports car racing goes all year long and if not then I have ice hockey to watch
>>150399645No, I mean about assholes that do just exactly that.
Penske and Ganassi handed that win to Rasmussen. If they didn't elect to not pit, he wouldn't have even made it on the podium. I can't even think of a worse strategy call in any series. I guess the record will show a W, but I sincerely doubt he will be able to back it up.
>>150399695Daly talks shit without anything to back it up. 12 years in the series and no wins. podiums, laps led don't mean shit. I'm not expecting everyone to win a championship or Indy 500, but win a race, that is the standard for an IndyCar driver's opinions to mean anything at all. >Danica Patrick won 1>Marco Andretti won 2 (but lower win% than Danica)
so now that Rasmussen has shown the ECR car is capable of wins (at least on short ovals), what is Rossi's excuse? disappointed in that man.
>>150399864I'm not talking about Daily. I'm talking about some drivers being assholes. Sorry I triggered your Daily hate boner.
>>150399649>you now remember when Andretti under Michael was being wishy-washy on if they would stay with Honda or go to Chevrolet-Ilmor after Sato had just won his first Indy 500 with Andretti and it caused Sato to defect to Rahal and win another Indy 500 with them instead of Andrettilong before the F1 shit
>>150399951you could at least spell his name right lol
>>150399930Rossi's issue is that he isn't focused on being a race car driver. He's focused on being a richfag. Palou doesn't fly planes. He doesn't own a boat. He doesn't wind surf. He doesn't SCUBA dive. He drives a race car. That is what he does and that is why he is so successful.
>>150399930Kids slow you down a few tenths, but he'll say it in a highly sarcastic tone.
>>150399991Well, that should tell you how much of a shit i give about him.
>>150400038plenty of drivers have kids and still winno excuse
>>150400028Based palou going into debt to mclaren on purpose so he has no choice but to win championships
>>150400059No, I think that was just a dumb jock trying to deal with a jew, but you can't argue with the results.
>>150400028>doesn't own a race horse>doesn't co-own/co-pilot a private jet (with Ed Carpenter)>doesn't do a podcastyeah you might be onto something here. Rossi has lost his focus.
did he do just that???
>>150400085Where does Rossi get his money anyway? He absolutely seems like he has a rich dad.
said it before and I'll say it again:>if you like a driver, never listen to their podcastalso, notice that the most successful drivers do not podcast, unless they get bored when they are retired. they don't need to talk and bitch, their accomplishments speak for themselves.
>>150400195his dad is his manager.>he has a rich dad.but that's the norm for racing drivers these days, racing isn't cheap. all drivers are "pay drivers" to varying degrees. it's only when the money is so blatantly more powerful than the skill of the driver that the driver is labelled a "pay driver".
1:64 scale but it's still his first win
>>150400305
don't forget: we are all spectators of a rich man's sport. like equestrianism. horse riding. but fast cars and powerful engines are way more badass than horses.
Michael McDowell is too based for this cringe earth unironically
>>150399412He never really talked shit about other drivers beside Sting Ray (until he became his teammate).It's actually ironic how he was praising Santino and Rassmussen only for them to run him off circuit in the very next races.
>>150400202That's really true, but I never really cared about Rossi. On the other hand, I didn't really like Daly until I listened to his pod casts. I liked Ferrucci until he tried to throw munchkin hands with Kirkwood after running into him at Detroit. It was pretty funny, but also pretty cringe. Dennis and Jr. are also pretty cringe, but you didn't need a pod cast to tell you that whit Denny's radio messages last night, kek.
>>150400333real shit
>>150400305>>150400312Very nice.
>>150400305>>150400312I wish I still had my Hot Wheels (had the Mercedes CLK-LM, Ferrari F40/50, etc.) and the model Indy cars my Dad would get as holiday gifts from work. he worked for Menard's for 44 years. back when Team Menard was in CART/IRL.come to think of it, I should visit my parents house and see if any of those are still there. hope they didn't throw it all away...
>>150400351I think Daly said something about Rasmussen running him off the road on faggot ass Twitter while the race was still going on, but on his pod casts he usually just acknowledges there is some issues, but is usually pretty diplomatic about it, probably because >>150399412>Daly's Speed Street podcast is the official unofficial podcast of IndyCar nowAlthough I'm not sure>that's how he gets these interviews)He's basically just asking his coworkers to jump on a Teams call. I do that every day.
>>150400356Based as hell.
>>150400354Daly would be a good podcaster, but his current status as an active IndyCar driver gets in the way a lot. I think he will be more enjoyable to listen to when he retires from IndyCar. kind of over his bitching about how other drivers did this and did that.
>>150400412his stepdad is Doug Boles, the President of IndyCar and IMS. and as much as he wants to downplay it, he benefits from it for sure. his podcast definitely does.
>>150400433>kind of over his bitching about how other drivers did this and did that.Same as Rossi and Denny. Remember, these guys are talking about work. When I talk about my job, I am usually complaining.
>>150400278hey
>>150400461I am absolutely sure that helps, but he was talking about how he has repeatedly asked some.driver to be on the show and the guys PR people always deflected, so it isn't an all access pass. Rosenqvist, maybe? IDK
>>150400470Rossi has been pretty free of issues with other drivers this season, he just hasn't been fast/in contention for wins. also the car going up in flames during the pit stop at Indy.but Daly has been getting into it with other drivers many times this season, including Rossi. and at some point Daly can blame no one but himself for getting into these situations. basic racecfraft, do not get into incidents with other drivers.
>>150400278>it's only when the money is so blatantly more powerful than the skill of the driver that the driver is labelled a "pay driver".>>150400479Sup?
>>150400510racecraft*how often do you see Palou getting in incidents with other drivers? you don't. Malukas punted him at Detroit. that's it.
>>150400479>>150400532go back >>150398246
>>150400510It's like that one Xfinity driver said>If you run with the squirrels, you're gonna get your nuts cracked. Shitters gonna shit, man, and with some of these races this year, it's the only thing happening on track.
>>150400544What, the Hungarian gets a pass?
>>150400561>>150400573C8.R, my beloved.
>>150400508>Rosenqvist, maybe? IDKIllot
>>150400596both of you get out
>watch one of the 1.3 good IndyCar races of the year>check spee>the most crybaby bitch woman posting about nothing yet seenJeets won't let white people have fucking shit
>>150400643>Illothe's had a bad season, granted driving for Prema, but he is ahead of Shwartzman in the standings now at least. earlier in the season Shwartzman was kicking his ass.
>>150400626idk what anyone says, the C8 is a very nice car by GM standards, front engine 'vette boomers can go to hell
>>150400693Like I said earlier, I'd be a lot cooler with it ofnitnhad 3 pedals, but I really don't see what was wrong with the engine in the front, but like I also said, it stole a ton of Porsche customers by moving the engine (and probably because it takes a lot of styling of Italian cars).
>make the best front-engine American sports car>go bankrupt multiple times, get bought out by some bullshit international conglomerate>don't make any good cars anymore
>>150400784>only Italian cars can be mid-engine
>>150400784>>150400811
>>150400665Schwartsman peaked HARD at Indy 500 qualifying and fell off immediately during the race. It's really one of the most baffling things to happen this season. Also, didn't Ilot have two mechanicals back to back? A fire at Thermal and something before that? His season had nowhere to go but up.
>>150400784>>150400811>>150400818
Can someone translate that incoherent leaf post?
>>150400824>A fire at Thermalno that was Shwartzman, and then Prema got penalized for the fire extinguisher system being out of spec
>>150400830>>150400818>>150400811The C8 looks like none of these.What it does look like is a bootleg Lamborghini.
>>150400858seems to be experiencing jeet fatigue, not sure what hes trying to say however
>>150400890C8 looks nothing like a Lamborghini besides the mid-engine
>>150400811It's not the engine placement that makes it look like a Lamborghini/Ferrari. It's the lines and proportions. The NSX is a bad example anyway, it uses muted F40 design language.
>>150400918>seems to be experiencing jeet fatigueUnderstandable, honestly.
>>150400933>it uses Pininfarina design languagefixed
>>150400919>C8 looks nothing like a Lamborghini besides the mid-engineAnon...
>>150400923>burnout>Honda cheated the hybrid system to give Palou traction controlpick one
>>150400919It's got far more of the angular design of a Lambo than any Ferrari people try to claim it copied.
>>150400963Lambos are more pointy
>>150400953>Pininfarina design language
>>150400964Kekmate!
>>150400998I like pop but not enough to bring my own container to use one of these
>>150400994The Ferrari DNA is rounding that out.
>>150401028lol Ferrari, what a ripoffbut at that point you're paying for the badge, not the car
>>150401011I worps like a regular soda fountain, dog. You just use a cup that they give you at the counter.
>is now a $1,000.000 carI'm guessing the C5-R is now just as expensive if not more.
>>150401056>you're paying for the badgeAnd they will sue your ass if you fuck with it.
>>150400964webm might be a little too obscure of a referencehttps://www.jayski.com/2003/11/01/and-yet-more-on-traction-control/
Come on anon, request the price. Its just a phone call and moving some capital aroundhttps://www.artandrevs.com/car.php?id=640
>>150401028If you show me a brand new C8 for $64k I will buy it tomorrow.
>>150401064>>150401087Viper all the way
>>150401084you don't buy a Ferrari, you rent it
>>150401056>but at that point you're paying for the badge, not the carYou're paying for something that can actually take a corner.
>>150401242>take a corneryou don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that.
I really miss Pecco and Martin shitters fight. Marquez is too fucking OP
damn trying to watch f1 movie but imsa was pretty cringe. i'm on scene for first race and they have crofty and brundle doing casting over it with reverb, its so annoying.
>>150401754Dude keep watching its pure kino, just turn down your brain a bit>>150401564I guess but its not like today was just a bad race it was pretty good and in a bad circuit.Bastianini made me jump out of my seat god bless he ok
Well, I'm back home from the Mile. We spent pretty much the whole weekend there, and once we got home we found the refrigerator shut off and everything spoiled.Because of course, its always some fucking thing.
fuck it, here's the finish form rasmussen's onboard, indycar can't knock down a channel with a single strikehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzjUnGJWOjI
>>150401812He won 7 races in a row. I dont want to see 2nd place fight like in F1
>>150400195His father owned/owns a construction company in Northern California. Rossi is actually pretty handy and occasionally it comes up during his podcast. But like >>150400028 said, Rossi seems to be bored of driving professionally and probably only does it for his father's approval anymore.None of these drivers are from anything less than like, an upper-upper middleclass background, and even then, they have all kinds of industry connections.
>>150401981What Jorge Martín did yesterday is literally imposible in F1, in the new track were everyone said you cant overtake, i hate F1 its good that we use it as thing we dont want to be like, but we are really far away from that, enjoy Márquez man who did something like this season? Not Rossi not even prime marc
>>150402139I rather do something else instead watching same result over and over again. Bye
>>150402180Next time just say you aré a rossifag, baka i lost time replying to you, how this season started and how its going its completely different only thing thats the same is Marc winning, also stop being a bitch and watch sbk too
>>150402231I didnt watch any MotoGP race during his domination either. I simply just hate Domination. Probably im gonna quit motorsports as well too. Cool cars going fast isnt enough to keep me going anymore
>>150402231>how this season started and how its going its completely differentnot really, in most races the leader has ran away by half way, exceptions being thailand, argentina and qatar where markek was trying to rise his tire preassure and still ran away at the end, and silverstone where the yamaha shat the bed and, you guest it, bez ran away, the difference these last 3 races is that bez has stepped up but even then they've played out exactly the same, domination isn't the problem, 2019 was fun as hell despite markek finishing 1st or 2nd, the problem is that every race this year has been pretty much the same
>>150402285I hope you find a way too enjoy it bro so you keep watching >>150402439I meant in like pecco and Alex shtting the bed, Acosta and bez doing well Noe, Martin coming back etcAnyways i only see 2026 being way way more competitive, with Ducatti not as strong, so thats good
NASCAR playoff predictions to the round of 8R16 OUT:BerryDillonCindricBowmanR12 OUT:BubbaReddickLarsonDennis(this is the round of chaos)R8:ByronBlaneyBellSVGChaseRossJoeyBriscoe
Roger used a weather weapon to stop Palou from winning
>>150401928I want to strangle the camera operators who refuse to point it forwards
>>150402585I believe Reddick or Bowman advancing out of the first round comes down to whether Reddick gets an opportunity to win. If so, other Toyotas will go out of the way to push him. But if he doesn't get a win, I expect Bowman to get more points.
>>150402813What did the Top 3 mean by this?
989mph average under yellow can't be legal, man.

>>150403604thats my dream mid life crisis mobile
>>150401894>we found the refrigerator shut off and everything spoiled.Good lord. Make sure to check the breaker. My mom just bought a new fridge because the breaker tripped.
>>150402285>Cool cars going fast isnt enough to keep me going anymoreDamn, bro. That's pretty grim. I hope you find something you like.
>>150400824>>150400879Yeah, Shwartzman is the one who kept having mechanical issues and even had to skip practice sessions on multiple tracks because of it.It's extra weird how he was outperforming Illot in the beginning of the season since he never drove an Indycar and basically had to learn the tracks for the first time during Qualifying/Race.
was reminded that Loeb's first WRC win was on this day 23 years ago.in my mind it has always been Monte Carlo of the same year because I keep on forgetting the results were annulled after the event.
> Ott and Martin is missing from the hyundai promo shotTanak leaving hyundai in 2026 confirmed >>150404271cooooool
>>150403404Why does this cut off at lap 222?
>>150404739that was when the world ended, everything since then is just in the head of an aussie bogan high on amphetamine
>>150404739>222>The number 222 is commonly known as an "angel number" that signifies balance, harmony, trust, faith, and the manifestation of miracles. It often serves as a spiritual message to trust in divine timing, maintain a positive attitude, nurture relationships, and remain on your current path because good things are coming to fruitionAs you can see, that's the lap Rasmussen did his first overtake, having being blessed by the rain brought from God himself to stop Palou's parade, his victory was fated to happen right there and then.

finally rally weekend, cant wait
>>150404981>>150404995I am still absolutely baffled as to why so many teams said>Who needs fresh tires on a sprint to the finish?
>>150405246I don't doubt it, but F1 has the most fake news of any motorsport.
>>150405396Holy based.
>>150405246nothingburger
>>150405396Too bad they aren't playing.
>>150405246On one hand, the second Red Bull seat is cursed and I can't see any scenario where Palou adapts to the car, tracks and Pirelli compounds gimmick fast enough for Marko to keep him, on the other hand, it's probably still paying more for one season than anything Chip gave him so far and this would be his very last chance to get into F1 given his age.
>>150403877First thing I checked. Bad compressor or fan, the unit is fucked.

>>150407184nevermind I found what is a gang N
>>150406013i remember herta saying going to f1 wouldn't be much of a risk since he'd make a ton of cash and could still comeback and be competitive if it doesn't work out, i imagine it's something similar for palou, plus it'd be the ultimate middle finger to ((zakary))
>>150407484>and could still comeback and be competitiveWould Chip welcome Palou back for a third time though?Also, I was going to say something about the new chassis, but then I realized this shit is taking so long he could do two seasons in F1 and still be on the same pace as everyone else on the Indycar grid as far as the car goes.
>>150408119at least he will not get fucked with the teething issue lottery of every spec chassis racing championship has in acars first few years
Gentleman, we may live to see ASSCAR getting hit with a Sherman in December or Q1 2026https://x.com/Motorsport/status/1960054952291635235Cross your fingers because this will get ugly
Rally Paraguay pre event test videos are starting to dropThese stages look kino TBQHhttps://youtu.be/SLBhpWGtIvw?si=lQ_rIHC7PFvh8Wa_
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9LusDsXSfc
>>150409984that man lies more than our congressman
>>150409725I think the court will allow the transfer to the unknown team.NASCAR has 10 charters in their possession now, so even if FRM/23XI end up winning the lawsuit, the judgement can order NASCAR to grant them one to replace the one transferred.
LADS I'M SO FUCKING HYPENever in my life i was expecting to see WRC in my country
>>150409945Prepare to see a lot of red bro, the soil in Itapua is pure red clay
>>150410208And yet Asscar is scared of the Sherman in december.it is obvious that there are stuff they are hiding and doesn't want the FTC finding out.
>>150410255ah it looks pretty cool desuIm a bit sad that there wont be at least some rainy stages, people said this red stuff is like ice when rain comes, the memefest would be kino
>>150410495When it rains the red clay is slippery AFAccording to the forecast, we can have some rain on Sunday

What does prolific exactly mean?">D: "...It means you're one the most notable I would say"
>>150408119He doesn't have necessarily have to drive for Chip. I'm sure a lot of teams would give him a seat. Hell, after a couple years in F1 he could probably start his own team.

Three hours of '50s/'60s sprint cars. This stuff is insane!Sprint Car Classics Vol 1: https://youtu.be/_-cF4fm3rdMSprint Car Classics Vol 2:https://youtu.be/4VlSIG-i7VMSprint Car Classics Vol 3:https://youtu.be/rzXdfxrpWuQ
>>150411648I think he has that thing you get when you hit your head too many times.
>>150411821That scene was perfect. In fact, it was the best scene in the entire movie. It was exactly what a Hollywood version of the Daytona 24 hours SHOULD be. It got all the cars and lighting and sound and scenery absolutely perfect (for a movie) with just enough exaggeration in the driving to be over the top but believable (and frankly not even as insane as it can be sometimes, pic related). Throw in the fireworks exploding too low, the helicopter flying to low, sprinkle on a little Zep and, >chef's kiss.Dayton is the perfect race for that scene since the whole thing is a bit "extra" anyway. I also thought that Diff did a good job being his usual goofy goober self and I always listen to the RLM broadcast. Like Singapore bro said, we need an entire movie of that.
>>150411821my gripe with the gt intros were always that they are too long, muh cinematic celebration of how many cars we licenced.Not something i would rewatch after seeing it once.Sports car racing themed intro which was great is maybe the Shift2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thQRHLcNUoc

>>150412209okay maybe im the problem bc I somehow dont vibe with classical music in racing game intros, my favourite digital racism intros all have either pumping electronic music or metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMmif4LQl5Ythe only racing game intro music liked and something close to classical music is Rob D's Clubbed to Death but it is just very very liberally can be called classical music>Thanks for coming to my dogshit blogpostPost good racign game intros btw
>>150412237>Lecuonai knew they were lacking options but didn't realize it was that bad
>>150412209>>150412454I almost died when I got back from Blockbuster and slapped the CD in and saw this. It's still my favorite video game intro of all time. https://youtu.be/e701QHyCr0o
Whatever happened with that guy at the IMSA race at VIR who caught fire, like what caused the fire
Sure sounds like JRM is getting a cup charter next year
How low can helicopters get in the WRC? I know they fly tenaciously.
>>150412881I once asked a helicopter pilot how close they were allowed to get to buildings and stuff and he said it was up to their judgment. You have to be fucking nuts to get in one in the first place, so it's not surprising to see how insane they are.
>>150412547Uh yeah that's incredibly based, back when they wanted to do a kickass intro, the song is an all time classic
>>150404271How can you remember something like that? Impressive
>>150412928>>150412881Depends on local laws and ofc terrain. In most of the thirdie or eastern euro countries you can get pretty low, and in kenya the terrain is super flat so there are usually some kino whots where they follow the car for a very long timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS1YMAjKfKU
>>150413125do you really have 40 cousins ?
>>150410495maybe you weren't wrong when you said it's similar to Indonesia. I expect less mud and more speed. Some sections resemble the cleaner, faster sections in Kenya, in my opinion
>>150413197Si
The dirty mo podcasts gave this today>Brendan Queen, Daniel Dye, and a reality show winner to take 3 of 4 Ram trucks>trucks becoming a spec series within 3 years

>>150412881very close, sometimes too close, and that's the reason why Jorge Recalde doesn't have two WRC wins
>>150413222I was more about with the indonesia paralel (back then when it was announced an we didnt know the route) that chances are that it will be a very humid and hot rally like indonesia wasAs a character people are saying it is yeah sg like Kenya as you say, speed wise also similar to estonia
>>150413313wow:D
>>150413445btw for some reason there is a good amount of Mexican and other central&south american people here one of my previous boss was a mexican woman called Ana actually lol (ttbt everyone I met was super nice from the latin "diaspora" here)I really dont know why would someone move here from the other end of the world with a lot of better options in between:D
>>150412957The music video is pretty cool, too.https://youtu.be/u9WgtlgGAgs
>>150413321It's already a spec series.
>>150410239let me guess; you'll be with us at your rally and then you'll leave us forever like the croatian anon, the portuguese anon, the spanish anon, the other mexican anon, and the one that still hurts: the kenyan anon
>>150413179>>150412928>>150412881This is one of my fav video, there are some peak shots on this stage.I really like when they start from far and get gradually close, sneak up on the car smoothly while doing 200kmhhttps://rumble.com/v6y2ttw-wrc-2019-turkey-kizlan.html

>>150412237>Iker Lecuona joins Aruba DucatiSpiller could have had that ride and won races or even a championship but no, another spanish passport has to get it.>>150414019Its fucking sickening to listen to 8r1t1$h commentators the last few rounds running damage control for him saying the non finishes are not his fault and its other riders taking him out all the time.
>>150413572The chassis is still basically a Gen4 cup car, with all the freedom in suspension setup that entails.They mean to change that, and remove the last of the steel bodies from NASCAR.
>>150405396https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_v99Caz5qE>>150413179One of the reasons Kenya is close to my favorite rally is cause of the crazy heli shots you get.
>>150412134The least believable thing about the IMSA scene in the F1 movie is NBC Sports shelling out money to put their logo on a helicopter.
>>150405506>>150407115>>150415310There are some other angles on their X post but here's a composite FOX madehttps://x.com/MeyerShankRac/status/1959978017314181378https://meyershankracing.com/2025/08/meyer-shank-racing-and-siriusxms-maximum-metallica-pair-up-for-indycar-season-finale-in-nashville/I was hoping for an Armin van Buuren ASOT car, since he has a Sirius channel... but Metallica is pretty good too, though I haven't really listened in years
>>150415379An Armin car would've looked pretty cool cause of the pink/dark blue/green color scheme he and AOST is going with atm.
>>150415468I still need to decide if I want to try and collect the Ibiza series... I have almost everything elseBest case would be an ASOT car for a race next year and then Armin doing a show the night before. I would go to any shitty track for that.
>>150413692I hope Luke Barry interviews Fabrizia at some point but above all I would like him to talk to Stephane Prevot
>>150413516idk maybe some kind of agreement with the government of your country, like the ecuadorians with Spain
Endurance is shit and everyones know it but it has its space and following now because of how hard some other series fell
>>150413179In some edition in Portugal (before the year 2000) they used a helicopter to move people who were poorly located after they did not obey the Marshals and the fans threw stones at them
After the lawsuit fails, RCR will buy Airspeed and two charters with heavy assistance from Toyota. AD3 will retire to manage the team. In the ensuing chaos, Penske will try to make moves but their mess from Indycar will spill over the fence and they will lose Ryan Blaney to RCR.2026 RCR Daytona 500 Lineup3- Bubba Wallace Toyota Service Care8- Kyle Busch McDonald's Everything's Great(I'm Lovin' It)33- Tyler Reddick Monster Energy93- Ryan Blaney Menards

So MotoAmerica is back to running Superstock with Superbike in one race to fill fields like the first few years except with the dumbest name possible and it's BoP shit now.
>>150420504>They now own both Indycar and NASCAR as they did before.Except they're letting Monster Games (Nascar Heat) develop the Nascar title and Orontes Games (ExoCross) the Indycar one.It's grim, but I'll take almost any Indycar game at this point.

>>150420508I'm not gonna put that one on the developer, a futuristic offroad racing game appeals to nobody anymore. There's a lot that could be done with a racing game with career modes, but on the timeline they've been on, I doubt we'll get much more than a typical experience.As you said though, its something at least.

>>150420440important questions:1. will Firehawk be in the game2a. will Buxton, Hinchcliffe and Bell do voice acting for the game2b. will there be WHOA's
Seeing the recce videos Mexicanon had a point, these Paraguay stages look like safari rally sometimesThere are similar 'long straight - 90degrees turn - long straight' stagesDubs and there will be a spectacular R1 roll, trips and its Evans
>>150424328Im 100% sure firehawk costume for the career or online profile will be some microtransaction tied thing
>>150424328>1. will Firehawk be in the gameThey were given MSG's Indycar assets which would include the results of pic related.
>>150424384Now I'm interested.
>hrc considering putting chantra as dixon's team mate in wsbkhow the fuck does alberto puig still have a job
>>150424384holy shit there are like 40 RX0s besides the already numerous (more than 10) A7 bodies. Now I would be interested how did their workflow go
>>150424384yeah but we need motion capture of Firehawk doing his antics
>>150420440they're also adding the Indy NXT car to the game next season and along with it a new series Im guessing
>>150424522Don't think Puig has any say on any of that, he's just there to take care of the daily running of the gp garage.
>>150425192apparently it was a suggestion from puig to keep him under the hrc umbrella
>>150424137Also have truggs, Indy NXT, and Xfininty on Saturday
>>150425221>suggestionThat would just confirm he isn't in charge and if honda are taking suggestions like that then they are themselves to blame for their collapse in both GP and WSBK, we're talking about the same company who up until a few weeks ago were fighting with Aprilia over the fraud shitter Martin, it says everything about the collapse of the once biggest motorcycle company in the world and how far they've fallen.
>>150424137>>150425232Imma go see IndyCar in Nashville.
>>150424137Crown jewel race, they may rig it for Bubba
>>150424364Maybe I can rip the assets and finally finish my shitty Firehawk helmet/fire suit skin I made for Gran Turismo like five years ago and never finished.
>chip ganassi
>>150424384reminder that this picture of Firehawk surrounded by cameras is the only piece of evidence ever publicly provided that Motorsport Games were actually working on the IndyCar game
>>150426276Does rF2 getting the IR-18 with a full grid of liveries and Laguna Seca/Long Beach/Gateway not count?
Since the IndyCar game will have NXT... will there be Deegan unlockables...?
This is about negotiations before the 1949 season of NASCAR; the second season. So it's always been a cluster fuck.I haven't really been keeping up with the 23XI lawsuit thing and I'm not a lawyer since my parents were married when I was born, but the only chance I see 23XI coming out on top is arguing that NASCAR is a monopoly because of the requirement to show up to every race. As I understand it, NASCAR claims they can run in the Cars Racing Tour as an alternative. Now, I haven't checked, but I would presume that since Cup runs almost every week, there would be scheduling conflicts and that they absolutely would not grant a playoff waiver if a team elected to run in another series. Especially since the made and issue of Lason doing the doube, even if it promoted their even more than all of their efforts combined. I really think the collapse of NASCAR would be the best thing for stock car racing. It's not like it's going away.
>>150426796it's not like NASCAR ever claimed to be anything other than the France family's pet project. It's their private game, the drivers and teams are simply invited guests. Imagine you invite people over to your house for some D&D and then they decide they don't like your campaign so try and kick you out of the DM role. in your own house. And they also declare themselves owners of the beer in your fridge, because they drank more of it than you
>>150426857Well, that's not really what's happening, but have it your own way.
>>150426857Imagine defecating in a toilet for once.
>>150426857>Imagine you invite people over to your house for some D&D If by "invite" you mean "charge a fuckhuge amount of money to for a seat at the table and make them obligated to come over every week for 40 weeks and get sidelined from the main quest if you miss a session" yeah it's kind of like that.
>>150426757will she even have a ride next season? I doubt they finalize the driver lineup or car liveries for the game until silly season is over in both NXT and big IndyCar.
>>150425452Based. Take and post pictures.
>>150428351Isn't her dad mostly funding it, and doesn't he have plenty of cash?
guys, guys, serdi won something holy shit
>>150427384sort of like how in my example the other D&D players have to pay for their own gas to get to your house, and pay for their own miniatures and other assorted accessories. The scale is different but the principle is the same. >>150427180>flag>considers shitting in a toilet to be a notable eventthe memes write themselves
>>150429933he just needed more time
Btw all day yesterday I was thinking about: does it make sense to unveil the 2026 car updates this early ? I guess lmdh is not that fierce competition but we are literally half year from the first race of the next season

>>150430872you're thinking about Jews more than anyone else.

>>150428607You know I will!
>>150430013>sort of like how in my example the other D&D players have to pay for their own gas to get to your house, and pay for their own miniatures and other assorted accessories. No, nothing at all like that. What you are describing is like the teams buying the cars and fuel and tires. You're being completely and deliberately obstinate.
holy shitif penske would run a fighter jet themed livery for once I would root for them
>>150431615it is like that. you need that stuff to play. Nobody makes them play. Imagine if you charged entry fees for people entering your home to play D&D, because you're sick of jokers coming in and not playing by your house rules. do the people who paid that entry fee now own your house? do they get a say in the house rules? no, your house your rules. nobody made them come.
>>150432248OK, retard.
>>150432357>when you put it in terms relatable to me, 23XI are clearly being unreasonable and NASCAR are in the right>but I don't want to confront my cognitive biases or faulty logic, so I'll engage in a thought-terminating cliche that allows me to shut down the discussion and no longer have to think about itmany such cases
Is there a commercial free stream available for /turnleft/ races now that Allah has forsaken us, or is watching race replays on (((youtube))) the only wat now?
He uses D&D because1) he can't imagine participating in an actual fair and legitimate competition where the outcome isn't predetermined2) He knows NASCAR isn't one eitherAs usual the incredible mismatch of enormous ego and lack of general intelligence of our cultural lessers can never be underestimated.

>>150441584Nothing but great news. Also happy that Fox was finally able to kick Indycar into ditching that miserable start to the year schedule where they had St.Pete then a month off.
>>150441736I agree but they boost the series visibility a lot more then a race at the local track. The 3 years they raced on the streets of Chicago they talked about nascar being there on the news twice as much then when they were in town for the speedway.
>>150441953>Fox signs up to broadcast the series>Fox buys in to the series>and suddenly IndyCar begins doing basic things that all racing series should do (proper marketing, video game, non-retarded schedule)what the hell was Mark Miles doing all these years? fire his ass.

Modifieds at Riverhead in now!
>>150441584>Though a deal is understood to still be in negotiations, IndyCar's first trip to Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in nearly two decades — a race that if landed could be formally announced as soon as this weekend at IndyCar's finale at Nashville Superspeedway Please let this be true. Announce it this weekend, please.
>>150442752as an IndyCar fan for decades, I would normally be skeptical, but for the first time in years I believe IndyCar is finally getting on the right track. I believe it will happen.
>>150442820Yeah, the Fox deal has clearly taken things form>Just keep it together to>Let's fucking GOOO!!!Very encouraging. Maybe we will get a new car one day.
>>150442937FOX may have declared war on Lolberty Media and we don't know it yet
>>150442752Are there no other race tracks in Mexico at all!?Why does everyone need to go to the one in Mexico City?(This is rhetorical, I know there are other tracks in Mexico, for example Formula Meme ran at Autódromo Internacional Miguel E. Abed in 2021 and it was bretty gud)
Last 3 lap kino in Modifieds.
>>150442937>>150442978let's fucking go indeed.IndyCar clearly understands they have to up their game across the board. it's a matter of survival. for example, I don't expect Roger Penske himself to understand the ins and outs of video games, but he clearly understands that having one for the series is a necessary component to the betterment of IndyCar, and that the Motorsport Games fiasco was an embarassment.
Woah, actual truck racing.
>>150442978I think they are going to try to copy them. It's a little early for a war, but I think if they schedule things properly they can raise a decent audience. The NASCAR cooperation is something I have been calling for for a long time and I am extremely happy tonsee. I would also think that the relative explosion in the popularity of IMSA has been encouraging. The downside is that I just paid $85 for an IndyCar ticket. I'm not really excited about that tripping. >>150443196I think that having a game is very important, but I think IndyCar being in Forza may even be more important, if not as prestigious. The stand alone game is really more for people who are already switched on to IndyCar. With Forza, they are reaching a huge audience of people who are generally interested in cars but might not really have any connection to IndyCar yet. In any case, it's fantastic that we have both.
Oops, kek.Anyway, V8 stock cars.
>>150443541Kino
>>150443499yeah I am thinking about buying Forza Motorsport now that IndyCar is in it, something to tide me over until the dedicated IndyCar game comes out.(also sports cars)
>>150443631Does Forza Motorsports still have a single player mode? I literally haven't played it since the first one.
>>150443683yeah which is mostly what I'm interested in. I got Forza Horizon 4 and 5 (since those were the first Forza games released on Steam)but online racing can suck my ass, too many rammers and cheaters. it's only fun when you get matched up with clesn drivers.also the fucking lag>game lags right in the middle of the corner>miss your braking zone and go way off the track, race ruined
>>150443756Yeah, I'm not that interested in PvP racing. I had my gut full of latency issues and cheating with air to air combat games.Also,>Batman wins!
>>150443499>paid $85 for an IndyCar ticketwhat track?
>>150443783Nashville on Saturday. It's a lot less than I paid last year. I thought it was PWL, but after seeing the crowd last week, I guess its the promotion. I'm doing my part, too bad my buddy that went with me last year is out of town this weekend.
>>150443781>Batman F-bodyBased
>>150443955get your ass to Road America next season bud.>cheaper tickets>no charge to check out the paddock and see the teams working on the cars>bring whatever food/drink you want (idk Nashville policy on carry-ins)
Dumping Iowa to pick up an ARCA time slot at Phoenix is not an improvement, especially because the race will be somehow even more shit based on historical precedent.>>150421325So the broader implication to worry about here is assuming the FIM is involved in this (and they usually are), it pretty strongly implies that what they plan to do to cuck WSBK when the new MotoGP rules come in is kill off what we know as superbikes where heavy mods for everyone allow a wider range of base models to be competitive naturally and use NGSS style performance balancing on Superstock based bikes. (They've been dreaming of using superstock bikes for years but never been able to do it because there's only ever a couple bikes that are new and track focused enough stock to have a chance) Which will make the Shitalians happy because they can just use their 1100 cheater bikes. Seriously if Aprilia doesn't show they are lying scumfucks.
That Riverhead stream is about to do super rare car crushing with monster truck.
forgive me. the Road America fan experience is so great, that I forget that patrons of other tracks don't have the same opportunities and luxurys. hell, even my local short asphalt track 15 minutes away has a no carry-in policy. bullshit.just go to Road America for IndyCar or IMSA, or even SRO GTWC America or the SCCA Runoffs. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
>>150444342Road America is on the list, but its 10-11 hours away and I need to go to Daytona first. Although now that IMSA is a 6 hour race that makes it more appealing. I do hate how Indy/NASCAR oval tracks have virtually no support races and the infield/paddock is extra.
>>150444430>I do hate how Indy/NASCAR oval tracks have virtually no support racesnobody else runs ovals. this is why the speedway at Motegi was never repaired. unless you want local late model guys (hell yeah!) to be the support race, this is the reality.
>>150444342>Road AmericaWhat a humble brag. Did you still want to know how much I paid for Milwaukee?
>>150445201>What a humble brag.not bragging, humble or otherwise. just stating facts.>Did you still want to know how much I paid for Milwaukee?I hope you had fun. my current budget is, at best, one major motor race a year. but if my financial situation changes, then yes, I would ideally attend IndyCar at both Road America and Milwaukee. but RA will always take priority.
>>150442162>>150442249Funnily, maybe... but I started listening to the albums long before I was listening to the radio show. First started listening in 2005 when I was in college and using their fast internet to download whatever random shit I could find, got hooked on trance, then started buying the actual CDs in like 2010. I knew there was a weekly show... but I never really looked into how to tune in. I just listened to the albums on a loop (mainly while exercising or driving, still do). Then during COVID, the show somehow popped up in my YT recommendations, and been watching every week since.I knew it was aired on SiriusXM (which is why it would make sense for them to run an ASOT/Armin car, ESPECIALLY if IndyCar ever gets a Euro race), but I never paid for satellite radio... since I had all these ASOT albums to loop through...
Not sure how they're gonna top last weeks races but getting hype for NASCAR and Indy this weekend
>>150445372I thought it was you that asked me in /indy/.

Compared to the $140 for RA.

>>150444727>local late model guys I really don't see the problem with this. Hell, you could throw in modifieds and legends, too.Anyways, the lack of other series running at ovals is why the tickets are so expensive. If IndyCar, IMSA, SRO, AMA etc aren't at a road course they are hosting club races, "track experiences", driving schools and drift events. The best most ovals do is flea markets and car shows. I don't know why Bristol doesn't have a series of local championships like every short track and dirt track in the country.

I’m too retarded to understand the nascar lawsuit
https://x.com/SRXracing/status/1961189973186810221It's a gif of a bear waking from hibernation.
>>150457991I lost track as well but i believe the very tldr is 23XI believe that nascar is lying about its finances and how much it gives to teams.
>>150457991>>15045834423XI and Front Row refused to sign the new charter agreement, all other teams signed. (This removes their chartered status)Instead they sued NASCAR, claiming NASCAR is stifling competition and is a monopoly.What they are seeking to alleviate the anticompetitive condition is permanent charters instead of expiring agreements and more money to charter holding teamsNASCAR argues back that it is not creating an anticompetitive situation and teams can race without charters if they do not want to sign the agreement. They want to repossess the 6 charters as agreed under the previous charter contract that expired.
>>150457991>>150458344https://www.espn.com/racing/story/_/id/46020453/nascar-says-antitrust-suit-forcing-permanent-charter
The hearing today wasn't the actual trial nor a part of it.The teams were given back chartered status by Judge Bell despite not signing, then the appeals court said that was wrong and the charters should be repossessed.Today was a hearing in front of Judge Bell asking to give back the chartered status AGAIN on the basis of documents entered into evidence in the time since the appeals court decision (both parties are required to submit all relevant evidence into the court record).It's very unusual to ask a judge to reenter a decision on which he has already been overturned by an appeals court.
Pro stock heat race 1 at Lebanon starting now.
>>150458823Sneedbowl is up, too.
IDK what 23XI are trying to do with the charter shit, but I think they are in the wrong on that side. If they wanted a charter, they should have signed one or, better still, rallied more teams to reject the terms.I DO think NASCAR has a virtual monopoly on stock car racing, especially with their direct ownership of so many track and their collusive partnership with SMI.Remember when Microsoft got a ruling against them for inclusion Internet Explorer with Windows? (Then they made it integral to the OS.)We live in a lolbertarian hell.
>>150456872based
Is Trucks going to be good tomorrow?
>>150458957>rallied more teams to reject the terms.Possibly they tried but teams are pussies mostly as most of them dont have a luxury of being someones hobby with the running costs being pocket change to himI think the 23XI even though I hate them in the championship are in the right. The france maffia has the unfortunate situation to having a TO not bending to their will freely People defending the frances in the story are bordering on the same premises of victim blamingI really get when teams are cucked by frances and pussy out bc they have sg to lose but fans being the level of cucks to support these maffiosi is beyond sanity
>>150458957The point is that the teams had no realistic option to not sign the charter agreement en masse because they have millions of dollars in NASCAR IP race cars and specialized equipment for them they can't do anything with besides sell to another Cup team. This was a bit of an issue in the CoT/Gen 6 era insofar as they stopped being able to sell cars down to regional and ARCA teams but became much worse now that they're kit cars with a you will own nothing licensing agreement.Compare that to GT3 teams regularly flipping off the series and going somewhere else mid-season just because they don't like the BoP because they have multiple series in every country they can race in.Honestly though I have no idea how or why the teams let NASCAR get away with selling (or more like permanently leasing) them millions of dollars of race cars that they don't actually own, they must have been huffing some real good shit about how much money it was supposed to save.tl;dr>don't sign charter>money stolen
>>150459309Weren't they given the final charter agreement with less than 48 hours to sign?
>>150459108Yeah, I don't blame the teams that signed because they really don't have anywhere else to go. I just don't see any way that 23XI is going to win the court case they are fighting. I also don't like them in the absolutely retardedly decided play off championship.
>>150458537How is nascar a monopoly? Whats stopping those race teams from racing in indycar or ARCA or some shit
>>150459382ARCA is NASCAR dumbo
>>150459350The final offer had a 48 hour deadline but it wouldn't have been entirely new text.Draft agreements were sent back and forth with highlighted additions and subtractions for months beforehand.>>150459382ARCA is now a NASCAR subsidiary, which the teams have cited as one piece of evidence in claiming a monopoly. NASCAR argues that they can, in fact, go run Indycar, but the teams counterargue that Indycar is too different to be a competitor to a *stock car* racing series.
>>150455765Pennis Boy is the Jim Cucknete of ASSCAR
>>150459453I see thanks
>>150458541And they are fucking scared of this because the new FTC is full on "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH THESE TRACKS AND WHY NO ONE IS RUNNING ON THEM?">>150459453The funniest thing is that there are proofs of NASCAR with the help of Bernie sabotaging Open Wheel in the US since the meeting inbetween the france family, FIA and Tony George happened.
>>150459453They also can't get a shindy charter so they'd have to go fight over 2 starting spots lmao. Anything else that isn't owned by NASCAR isn't actually professional.
>>150459309If none or at least a vast majority didn't sign, NASCAR wouldn't have a product. Imagine 6 or a cars showing up to run Daytona. They couldn't put that on TV. At least not if they expect any money. It would be like that one F1 race at IMS. Still, I don't blame the teams. Really, it's a failure of Race Team Alliance for not representing the interests of the teams, like at all, ever. Then again, maybe most teams are happy with the deals they are getting and I'm just salty as the end consumer being fed lazy slop instead of a top product that has to compete for my attention.
>>150459467>>150459534What are you even saying bro
>>150459382They are driving NASCAR™ cars that they aren't allowed to run outside of NASCAR™ scantioned events, which are mostly run on NASCAR™ Tracks. The only reasonable competition is the CARS Tour, but they would need entirely different equipment and there is no way they would be granted a gayoff waiver if they missed a NASCAR™ race for a CARS Tour event. I honestly wouldn't even care that much if the car wasn't stupid, the playoffs system wasn't stupid and stage cautions weren't stupid.
Main event at Thunder Road in now.
>>150459587NASCAR was not going to have a problem finding people to show up for the Daytona 500 with 5 months warning, it would just mean the teams losing their charter equity and benefits entirely. Some of whom spent an assload of money to buy them as little as one year earlier.https://racingnews.co/2023/09/16/nascar-charter-sold-for-40m-to-spire-motorsports-new-record/
>>150459534>WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH THESE TRACKS AND WHY NO ONE IS RUNNING ON THEM?That is the real question. If there wasn't a monopoly on the tracks, promoters could organize competing series. Plus, it would be easier to get IndyCar dates on them.
>>150459802How many non-charter teams own current gen cars? I honestly don't know.
>>150459882This is the issue even with other tracks, Indycar raced at Pikes Peak til 2005 when NASCAR ISC took over, then Pikes Peak bought the track back from ISC but now they cant even have indy racing on colorado anymore.
>>150459974>now they cant even have indy racing on colorado anymore.Why is that? I think they are looking at a meme street race in Denver. Pikes peak would be kino, though. https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/indycar-making-progress-on-denver-and-mexico-races-for-future-seasons/10686764/
