Herta is mid
You guys should check out the Naito Auto documentary, One of One.
You forgot supercross playoffs are on Saturday my nigga
Never forget what they took from you.
Palou genuinely seems like a very nice guyAre all Spaniards like that? I knew two others at a previous job, and they were nice guys too.
>>150546397Latinos in general have a weird relationship with death. I think the coolest ones are the ones that realize it, and they're pretty down to Earth.
>>150546397Even if Palou winning so much is a little boring at least hes not some disingenuous cunt like Lewis Hamilton was during his run.
https://youtu.be/S5JQhqj3Rso?si=jA_WQMhEwFAIYM6aLancia Delta Rally2 testing
On that topic of nascar or indy at Zandvoort it makes me think of how i think nascar should capitalize on SVG and run a race at one of the supercars tracks.
>>150535499I love my scanner, I sprung for a high Uniden SDS100 because I really liked the desktop version that I already had. For me its difficult because I tend to just turn it to Conor's freq and leave it there. I do wish that Indycar would provide the tone in on the spotter guide for primary and back up freqs. Its hard to spectate a race without one, epsecially on a road course.
>>150547943based posts
pretty much beyond me why indycar would want to go to zandvoortif they want an overtakeless slurper they could capitalize on palou and go to catalunya or capitalize on the angloshpere and go to the ukAt silverstone or brands it would be a pretty fun race possibly
Btw neither cyril nor latvala was in paraguayI cant remember from the last 5-6 years if this happaned ever, that ⅔ of the teambosses were missing
>>150547705Tell me its not a gay EV like their fail rallycross attempt
Hocevar bought another car.
>>1505482661. you might be deaf but this definitely BRAAAAPS2. ev's are not allowed in rally2 (actually nothing else than petrol 1.6T allowed as propulsion)3. It is the worst kept secret that stellantis wants to replace the C3 Rally2 with thr new deltalancia did not attempt wrx, if you are thinking about those fake integrales, that was a different company without any ties to lancia . They just tried to ride the popularity of the old delta similar to other ev shitters pumping out suspiciously similar designs to legendary cars
in the current edition of nothing ever happens, there is rain forecast for Next week in Concepción just to stop at thursday and the rally days wil.be dry
also for the argentinian anon asking about The Crew 1 resurrectionhttps://thecrewunlimited.com/home/
Indy news dropping (allegedly) any minute now.
>>150547705What about Subaru?
>>150549131No Power at Penske next year
>>150547659TBDesu most championship winning F1 drivers are dicks. Alanso (Spaniard) is the only one I can think of who isn't.>>150547943>Uniden SDS100 How does that work. I can program my radio with channels and scan them, but it only stops when they are transmitting. I can monitor two chanels at once, but since the TV channel is always open, it basically preempts everything else. Ultimately, it's 100% worth it to have the broadcast team the entire time, but I don't get team messages no matter who I set the second channel to.>Its hard to spectate a race without one, epsecially on a road course.I went years and years without one and it was the best investment I ever made for spectating. I can now listen to IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA (if they have a track radio) and it amazing. It's also great for newfrens so they don't get confused and bored.
>>150549826supposedly they dont even have money for a proper global rally2 program
>>150549910
>>150550026This is retarded man. Will is still a championship caliber driver if penske didn't absolutely shit the bed this year
>>150549796Rinus must have something lined up but I have no idea where it could be. RLL?
>>150550096Oh yeah I guess the 4 at foyt is open with malukas to penske as well. And the herta to f2 rumors that's another seat open
>>150550084Yeah, I don't see how whatever Malukas is bringing is comparable to Power. Maybe it's just money.
>>150550223Power is going to WEC it seems, all is left to know if roger is giving his seat to Nasr since malukas and santucci had issues.
>>150550026
>"As we sat down to talk about our future together, Will felt that it was time for him to make a change beginning with next season," said Roger Penske.
wasnt the genesis lmdh supposed to be v8turbo?https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOEMrJqjXlp/?igsh=MTh4cWJjMzhqb21uZg==
>>150550426Aka will wanted a multi year deal and penske probably only offered 1
Foster was based for making Re*it seethe
>>150550223>moneyPenske doesn't use pay drivers, if a driver goes to Penske it's on merit
i'm sad bros>>150551720we don't know if verizon is coming back, if it doesn't then that's a massive gap to fill even for penske
I hate wec and imsa for making the coolest cars ever and cucking them by making them for resistance only
>>150551944i'm hoping will has something lined up since it sounds like he was given an offer and declined. it won't feel right though, especially if i have to root for andretti
New chasis for 2028??? Fuuck thats too long
>>150548164Because they are hopeful the Dutch are fucking stupid enough to give them half the money they've been blowing on F1 to fly them there for their Verstappen at home that won 4 years ago and currently does not have an announced team for next year.
>>150552044>resistance onlyYou mean endurance? IMSA has some GTP sprint races too (mostly street courses).
>rookies were 23rd, 24th, and 27th in pointsEven in a series where a rookie hasn't been higher than 14th since 2019 that is impressively shit.
>>150552439Meanwhile, 2024's ROY that finished 16th doesn't have a seat.
>>150552218Surely rinus has something if he turned down a contract from coyne
Rahal is in this annoying stage of his career where he should obviously fucking retire but he has like one good race out of ten to talk himself into believing he can keep going.
>>150552545hilarious that he single handedly cucked juri vips indycar career
>>150552338Wtf i promise i search this and it wasnt like that, fuck yeah ill watch imsa now blessed bro
>>150552684Brace yourself, there's some kino action in those sprint races, but they are also under Yellow half of the time.
>>150552505we've seen drivers thinking they have something then falling between two seats
>>150549796Man, I love Grosjean, but there have been a lot less wrecks since he and leg departed.
>>150550266Sports car bros better brace themselves.
>>150550426>>150550815Honestly, they haven't been very good to him including and perhaps especially getting him penalized for two technical infractions (cheating scandles) in the last two seasons, plus, the Penske cars have been shitboxes all year long except last weekend. I'd really like him to stay in IndyCar andbhe certainly can if he wants to. They should have given him what he wants and I hope he ends up winning a championship with another team. That would be the most kino thing ever.
>>150552505Not if that Coyne contract involved bringing money he doesn't have.
>>150551237The funny part is he got it after crashing Malukas while battling for absolutely no reason. What a shitter, kek.
>>150552057I don't mind Andretti. I like Herta and Kirkwood well enough, I just don't think Power deserves Andretti spaghetti strategetti.
>>150548471Im jelly, what a beautiful machine
>>150548164>>150552218It's only Fag1 that has problems overtaking there and that isn't any different from any other track they drive on. GT races there are insanely kino.>Zandvoort badIs literally F1 retard group think.
>>150552684They can be pretty kino, but IMSA's caution procedure make it look like a dirt track race.
>>150553161>Is literally F1 retard group think.This. Indy on Zandvoort would be an instant classic imo
>>150549796>Tony DonohueDid ANY rumor this guy threw around for the past years ever turned out to be true?I feel like you could get more accurate speculations by simply having the average Indycar viewer take a guess.
inb4 malukas ends up being tarso marques 2.0>>150553318nope, he's just a repeater antenna of rumors
>Morbidelli kept on for another season at VR46
>>150547705Calling HF Integrale already is kinda cringo imoBut I think it's worth mentioning the 2027 WRC cars are essentially tube frame cars with full Rally2 drivelines and axles, and Stellantis is suddenly in a position to launch another Lancia WRC programme almost out of nowhere (unless they choose a different brand for that)
>>150553211>>150553161zandvoort is a classic but penskecar will be a procession as well there lolYou can overtake on that track when the difference between the cars are bigger than any of the top open wheel classes. GT and TC are completely different matters, there the speeds are lower, differences in cars and talent are higher.If you try to argue that indyshart has not produced slurpers on road courses you are a delusional fag
>>150553531for our luck stellantis' reputation is in the shitter so they will more keen to launch new motorsport programs to promote their brands.Hopefully this will be also the case with VW, even though they are thinking that they were too slow with electrification and thats their problem so I dont expect ICE based program from them
>>150553318https://racer.com/2025/09/02/veekay-departs-dale-coyne-racingConfirmed by pruett that veekay turned down an offer from coyne. Says he is going to foyt to replace malukas
>>150553807Also in that article>Power’s confirmation with Andretti, which was originally anticipated for today (Tuesday), is said to be scheduled for Wednesday. The timeline for confirming Malukas's move to Penske is unknown.
>>150553785VW already has the whole package ready to go, as long as you don't mind everyone on the team speaking czech. And Skoda will stop making subcompacts in '27, another reason to move to WRC with a silhouette formula.
>>150554017Forgot to add: VW will not return to WRC for many reasons, and having Skoda already halfway there is just another one.
>>150553807I know, it's the part where Grosjean and Hauger "have been rumored" as candidates for Coyne that sounds like pure speculation on his part.Dude just takes guesses and try to pass them as insiders rumors.Somehow, he still ends up being wrong 100% of the times, see what he claimed about Arby’s, Hy-Vee, Arrow, Brady, JJ and Bourdais, Watkins Glen etc.
>>150554164these newgarden retirement rumors came out of nowhere but i've seen it a lot the past few days
What is this photographic effect called? Burst?
>>150554264it's just that everyone realized that the next contract to expire is his, and since they had no qualms about getting rid of power it's safe to assume newgarden's seat is anything but secure, but again pure speculation
>>150554017>>150554103Rally2 is going to be silhuette as well bc not just skoda but apart from toyota no one else will produce subcompact in the near future. Ofc if the current Rally 1 and 2 does not merge anyways (yeah Im still baffled by the equal engine power shit given the difference is just the size of the restrictor. Yeah I know stronger car needs stronger transmission and shit. Even though the 2 have very similar engine Rally1s are tremendously more spectacular than rally2s in sound and speed)
>>150554306>>150554344>>150554364Really nice>>150554344Panning shot. In hungary we also call it "svenk"
>>150554718IIRC FIA said that the long term intention for rally2 is silhouette.Also one of the reasoning (besides the spec dying out if nothing happens) that people are still dying in national level rallies in R5/Rally2s from time to time, and this way it could integrate the safety cell FIA is developed back then for Rally1
>>150553756I really think it would work well. If last weekends race at Nashville showed us anything, it's that high banks=high kino. >indyshart has not produced slurpers on road coursesYeah, sometimes some races just don't come off well. Skip Barber last year was a snooze fest and it's usually pretty good. The 2023 Cup race at the Glen is another example. 2022 was kino and 2024 and 2025 were both good. Even the Nashville street circuit was getting better every year as the teams and organizers gathered data and figured out how to make it work. The only issue I see for Zandvoort is that there is no data for the tiers or teams, so the first race might be a bit bland, but if they sign a multi year contract it will definitely be kino.
>>150554846>>150554164Am i crazy to think McLaughlin would be a better chance to get the boot over Newgarden? Newgarden had a shit year but he had a bunch of bad luck in races he had things going well, but Scott had a bunch of wrecks that were all him. He has another bad year then why pick him over Josef?
Still can't believe they let Will Power walk, he could've won last weekend too if his shit didn't stall
>>150555595He is approximately 900 years old
>>150555595Yeah, but that might have been on him. He had it in second gear. Maybe it was a mechanical, but maybe not. Still, they should have given him what he wanted. I'd blame most of his issues this year on the Penske organization anyway. I can't believe David Land said this performance at the Indy 500 this year had an effect on his contract negotiations. He stared dead fucking LAST in 33rd because the Penske organization gave him an out of spec car and he made it up to 12th ahead of Newgarden in 22nd and Snotty KWAB Mclaughlin in 30th.I appreciate David as a self made success, but fuck he says some retarded shit sometimes.
>>150555694He's the same age as Alanso and Dixon.

>Located north of Toronto, the 12-turn, 2.19-mile Ontario Honda Dealers Indy street course in Markham Centre isn’t a temporary solution while the World Cup takes over Exhibition Place; Markham is the new destination for IndyCar’s visit to Canada, which comes as part of a multi-year deal done between the parties and is set to debut next year across Aug. 14-16. Exhibition Place was becoming more of a joke year after year but what the fuck is wrong with everyone involved in this
>“The temporary track will be built in the eastern precinct of Markham’s downtown, between Kennedy Road, Enterprise Boulevard, Unionville GO tracks and Highway 407. Renowned track designer Tony Cotman of NZR Consulting has led the design process of the temporary circuit which features a 12-turn, 3.52-kilometer (2.19-mile) layout including a double-sided pit lane, thrilling straightaways and technically challenging sectors.Stop doing retarded pit lanes you retardsTheir description of where they're building the track outright doesn't make sense but regardless I'm sure the people living in houses 300' from a street race will be super fucking happy.
JesusGuess we'll see if the entire last sector is 25' wide or they're rebuilding all of it.

Does it really suggest a lot of faith in your F1 aspirations when your team hires a 44 year old guy as your IndyCar replacement?

>>150563753Shid, IndyCar was solidly stuck in the 7 million zone most of this season. Either way, if NASCAR and IndyCar could stop slap fighting and just schedule for one to lead into the other, they would both see viewership increase.

>>150564776It's honestly pretty fucking cringe, but they are just gaming the FIA system. It will be pretty funny if he gets his points and exposes how under valued the IndyCar series is in the Super Slurper license system.
>>150565277It's all smoke and mirrors. Contracts say you can't talk about stuff, but the quite part is (publicly.) Not negotiating alternative deals would be insane, especially for someone like Power.
>>150565346Not even a championship decider. Nice.
>>150564303Why Markham? I get having to move out of Exhibition due to the World Cup and the renovations happening there (which sucks), but Vaughan or Mospar would have been 100% a better choice.Markham does have many Asian qts though, so this is the race for you if you have yellow fever (unless Vancouver comes back)
>>150565346It's 100% the college football promos on saturday. Imagine if they did a fall race on a Friday and promoted the shit out of it to all the football fans. Am I crazy or would this do better numbers than the regular 700k in the summer
>>150566083apparently penske gave him permission
>>150566290yeah FOX needs to get them out of the mindset of fearing football and think about how they can use it to their advantage
>>150566028If he REALLY wanted to expose the system, he'd jump in an F3 car and skip F2 all together, like Max, or Lance, for that matters.

>>150569787It was good for reasons that are atypical. Every turn is in first gear, except onto the straight. This helps passing and makes the race more competitive, but it lacks the raw spectacle of high speed turning. Detroit gets a pass because it's unique, but if every street track was like that it would suck>>150569832I guess I disliked nashville street more
I'm legitimately happy Will Power got onto another team right away and if he was to pull off some upsets next year it would be kino
>>150570682> I don't know shit about broadcasting landscape but F1 is bad: The PostFOM gives away broadcasting rights in a country to the highest bidder they rarely care about gatekeeping or similar. keep seething burgertard, F1 and F2 is on free television in the bigger part of the globe (meanwhile indycar is hidden behind payway here lol)
>>150569355BTW prevot said supposedly (someone mentions "his book" but I havent seen a book by prevot after an hour of googling) that Novikov was fast in pure speed but had dogshit pacenotes and didnt really trusted what the codriver was saying, this is why he crashed a lot and slowly fallen out of the scene
>>150571395>I'm legitimately happy Will Power got onto another team right awayI don't think his competing in the 2026 IndyCar season with a top team was ever really in question, but it's certainly good to have it officially announced. >if he was to pull off some upsets next year it would be kinoI think his winning at least one race next year is a definite possibility. The strength of Honda might just be enough to offset Andretti spaghetti, presuming Chevrolet doesn't make some huge advancements with their engine in the off season.
>>150575401looks great desudeep blue and gold always a good match
>>150575805Hell yeah.

>>150576584Actions detrimental to the playoff format, or something.
>>150576584To pretend they aren't saving fuel the entire race because stages just slightly too long to go full throttle.
Anyone else keep forgetting Veekay is Dutch and not Indian? He picked such a saar name to use. And even his haircut+beard are the way westernized Indians do theirs
>>150574008I think he or Ilka said Novikov didn't hear the notes, but that he had incredible talent. Prevot must have a lot of stories; he worked with some of the most talented drivers s of the time, and he himself is one of the best co-drivers of his generation. According to Borja Rosada (who admires him) he's a great personPerhaps we should read his book in French?
>>150574008>Vladimir Antonov left >Novikov too >around the same time you too I'm trying to connect the dots
