>>150657629WEC doesn't care if people actually attend their races. If they did, they wouldn't be at COTA.

no idea bout this race but forza ferrari as always.
turn one will be a masacre
>6 hours of safety car
How long will they be under safetycar. The only working stream i found is in french so i cant hear any race control stuff
>>150657820hate driving it in vidyaflow is shit outside of sector 1, and it's so fucking wide im just guessing (wrong) where the turn-in is because I can never see the fucking apex

>>150658122>skill issuenever said otherwisebut at least when i put it in the wall at spa or imola i know it's because the track is biting me in the ass, not because i got lost trying to find corner entry
Pretty sad bros. Been looking forward to another WEC race :(
>>150658156il_tinca on twitch is good, English comms with some Italian muttering if you can put up with it
The only time this horrible track can be fun is with rain, and the faggots won't let them race in the rain.

OK, shit, fuck. Hell. I sent the text. It made me tear up to do it, but it's done. I don't expect a reply, but it's done.
>>150658030Looks like a fucking quasar, radar is completely saturated.
>>150658122Its the track limits that get me, I hate this modern track thing of putting 5 meters of runoff on both sides of the track and it causes endless anger and confusion like that time Verstappen lost the podium to Kimi

Is it possible to race on night in this track ?
>>150658314Im actually mad at myself, i skipped getting tickets to the cup race cause summer was so miserable i thought it would've been awful. But the weather there this weekend is wonderful.
6 or 7 laps
>>150658361Well it’s not there for racing, it’s a get out of jail free card for mistakes and accidents, they should at least make it super abrasive to destroy tires like Paul Ricard so drivers don’t use it to get away with aggressive moves
>>150657629Uh, it absolutely pouring rain and they scheduled Fag1 for next month.
What’s the minimum length for the race, could they at least get 2 hours in about 4 hours time when the rain MIGHT be done

>>150658442yes
>>150658012Bro, up your game.https://radiolemans.co
>>150658603it's a containment track for FIA series so they don't ruin our actual good tracks like Road America, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, etc. with paved runoff bullshit
>>150658507Yeah, paying customers means more to F1 than WEC anyway, FIA would pay for the whole thing out of pocket if they had to, WEC is one of the championships that just is and will happen regardless due to kind of being a flagship for motorsport as a whole because F1 kind of stands apart separately really.
>>150658569>>150658615I started watching it but turned off for the race. Seemed a good chat, find myself agreeing with the idea peak car was around 2013-2015.

>>150658603There's plenty kino tracks in America to make up for it at least, hopefully nobody wants to build loads of Buc-ee's over them all in the near future
>>150658870Good chance*(Bad)
I like COTA
>>150658881WEC could run at Road America easily. Wouk be very based.
>>150658952fuck off we're full
>>150658608I will, but I'm desperately scared there won't be anything to report.
>>150658952I liked the IMSA race this year where all the GT3 dentists broke their chains and started running each other off the road every corner
>>150658998Ok they can come to Donington instead :^) plenty of proper runoff and drainage there
>>150658952I watched IMSA there but they ruined it with their yellow flag procedure faggottry. Literally half the race was yellow because they kept crashing into each other or inanimate objects. In the dry. During the day.
>>150659091next year the Road America IMSA race will be 6 hours
>>150659104There would be a different crew and procedures, but yeah IMSA fucked up with a track that long and the unlapping rules.
>>150659172i think he said>car is healthy
>>150658663nein, iraqi actually.

business idea: release an active shooter in the race control room during rain
/biz/ idea: big umbrellas over the cars so they can race even when it rains
I'm going to ELMS next weekend hopefully that will be more interesting
I’m pretty convinced this tilkedromes with the wide track and enormous tarmac runoffs make the conditions so much worse.Like at least plant a few trees ffs
>>150659635the fans at the track paid for 6 hours of racing, they should get 6 hours of racing
There's the hyperpole and now there's the hyperparade
>>150659824Big umbrella over the track would be better
>>150659868Or Wiperparade lmao
>>150659534Gin and tonic. I'm cutting right now.

>>150660010what about a thousand zeppelins over the track instead?with swastikas, of course
poor eduardo
The thing is wet race can be really fun. But they actually have to let them race! It’s insanity. They are on wet tryres ffs
Guys, I think the safety car needs a safety car
>alpee firstnani
>>150660140double SC on track messed up the order
>>150660097A bunch of big tied up baloons actually sounds like a very cost effective and deployable solution
i thought only the sissies of f1 did safety car for some rain
Remember when we looked forward to wet races
>red flag
what a mess
red fragfuck :(
>safety car runs out of gas
FIA and IMSA should combine their endurance series. We could have a proper 13 race season and a lot of the drivers already jump between the series.
Now the fun begins
>>150659937Sugar free tonic*Didn't know that shit had a gorillion calorie from sugar at first.

>>150660308Wait until you find out how many calories is in spirits from the get go.
>>150660341Live footage of my soul being crushed as the only thing I was looking forward to is ruined
>>150660418I guess that when you drink gin/vodka/whiskey you know what you're up to
YOU CANNOT SAY THAT ON TV
>>150660303Keep your FIA and your britoid shithousery out of my IMSA. Only decent series that I don't have to worry about waking up at 6am to watch races to placate British faggots who can't bother to stay up past 7pm to watch a race.
The first 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1923 started under hail and heavy rain, with cars with no roof, fragile headlights that would easily break with any small rock hitting them (also poorly isolated electrics from the water), no wipers, bicycle tires, tin can bodywork, on a barely paved track with lots of loose rocks, with very few lights, no barriers of any kind, no runoff areas, with drivers wearing leather aviator caps and goggles as the only kind of protection.Yet, they soldiered on, going slowly in a line at night following any car with functioning headlights if necessary. How the fuck have we gone so soft as a society?
surely leaving the cars under the rain at the main straight won't cause any troubles
>>150660475kek

>>150660418Oh yeah, alcohol is a massive energy store, but there is no need to add non-intoxicating calorie sources on top of that. I'd be doing Vodka tonic but I just like gin.
>>150660491I always get the feeling these days that it might be insurance companies or something standing in the way, the rain doesn't even have to be bad for them to red flag a race half the time and everyone knows nobody is going to die because its not the 1970s anymore
>>150660555Only the dead can know peace from this "race"
hey, there are the umbrellas! hopefully that means we can see some actual racing soon
>>150660450Relatable. It feels like a million years since we had a prototype race.
>>150660482Why would you have to wake up earlier? Races could literally start at the same time. And imsa already has the Michelin endurance cup. Combining that with wec wouldn't change much>>150660335I will keep brainstorming my shitty ideas and there's nothing you can do about it
bring out the umbrella girls
>>150660541>same rules as WEC>same cars as WEC>same drivers as WEC>better tracks than WEC>better BoP than WEC>better live broadcast team>free youtube stream for VPNsWish 4chan would add pride flags outside of /pol/
for me it's kinky sex with the Iron Dames
>>150660491For some reason, as it becomes more common, we value human life more and more. The fact that those drivers in 1923 survived infancy is a miracle alone and yet they were willing to lay it all on the line for the love motorsports. Everything that happened after 1939 has largely been a mistake.
>>150660913Don't bother, it's terminal with this one.
For ducks sake they’d have gone green by now if there were no issues with the fucking safety car itself fml

>>150658030please let a tornado land closer to the track
Was this place always this slow? I remember it being a lot more lively a few months ago
>>150661125Yeah, it's a short term stimulant but a long term depressant. It's why certain personalities just pound drink after drink. Chasing that stimulant effect.
18 mins until green, let's go
>>150661340Well, it's late on the season and the race is currently turned off, so yeah, traffic is down.
>>150659242yes.>>150659704luv americans, they always seem nice but social media makes murica look like a free for all server.
>>150661486fucking finally>>150661502thisalso nascar is on now i think + Sunday evening in Europe and late night in APAC
something is happening
>>weck
She was kind of cute in a weird kind of way
Oh oh ohohohohohoh
>>150660491>>150660648well yes and no. Race direction knows that if someone fucks up very bad from the drivers, even by their own mistake, media and the drivers relatives will be always blame bc the driver is the hero and the star.You will get both pretty bad press and nowadays usually it includes a lot of legal shittery, so they became risk averse across FIA since the bianchi incident. There even the relatives sued fia and the circuit and themedia was ful of what the race direction did badly and basically it was nothing said about that he was not keeping himself to one of the basicest rules around
RESTART
>>150661486it will be another 30 mins behind sc, stronger rain arrives again, red
>>150661738güec
I mean are we going green or are we going yellow?
>>150661615>luv americans, they always seem nice but social media makes murica look like a free for all server.They are like anyone else. You get a bunch of them together and they are assholes but one on one, they aren't much different than anyone else. We are all just scared and lonely people looking for someone who understands them. Like I said, if you like sports cars, or just racing or vehicles in general, we are brothers.I can't find it, but there was a Vice video about the Quarada Bats, an Iraqi motorcycle group I had more in common with than any of my neighbors, and we don't even speak the same language. Vrooms trump all ideologies.
>>150661802Those are my favorite.
Was that camera man wearing a dress?
We need the WEC TV Director to show us more soaking wet women in the stands
let's goooooooooo (safety car edition)
>>150662238The thing that gets me though is that in sportscar racing at a grade 1 circuit it needs to be a real freak accident for someone to actually get injured. I don't mean to be flippant but Nords or Bathurst in the dry seems way more dangerous to me than COTA in the wet
>420DUUUUDE
>the drivers still fuck up the reordering
>SC picking up the paceis this really happening?
>>150662626simonsen died at a grade 1-ish part of lemans though in dry so yeah it needs a freak accident but normies won't ever understand that there is always 1 percent chance for a freak accident, something happening no one could have prepared for
>>150662833it will be green till the first duet spin
>>150662558Actual fact.
>>150662977i'd gladly take that over no more green flag racing at all desu
Just fucking run the cars and clean them up as needed. Rinse and repeat. This is spots car racing not Fagula pussy shit.

>>1506631622/3rds star le mans
>>150662914The trouble with Simonsen was careless barrier placement when they were setting up the street section and them up too close to the trees, and even then that was a GTE from 2012. I guess the issue is that there's no hard point where you say something is and isn't safe enough, but COTA has a mile of runoff from each corner and a billion tires at every wall so to me there's no serious risk of injury
>>150663293It’s pretty based considering how hard that thing looks to drive in the dry
>>150663357they were way worse desuit's just the spraying looking way worse at full speed

Did Ogier ever comment on why he stopped his sportscar plans and if he intends to resume then ever ?
>>150664680they have to use a banked turn againthe current infield layout is gay, and probably fake as well
>>150664680COTA owner chimped out on F1 that the mexico race is too close and thus hurts their bottom line lolThey must do sg very badly
3 hours of Kino LETS GOOOO
>>150657820Dude I agree. I hate it. It flows so bad and it blue balls you every time it starts to feel good with obnoxious brake zones and annoying corners. Mid Ohio is so natural and great. And Watkins and road America and Sebring and lime rock etc etc. it’s like the British GT series where every track is amazing except at least silver stone is good. In the USA it’s CotA for some reason that keeps getting tries from the different series and never gets a crowd.
>>150664595At some point I think people just have to admit the 499p is the best car. Unless they are cheating
>>150664680A race on the current Indy GP layout with WEC would be pretty fun but I’m not sure how they feel about tracks like it
>>150664882I think Mid Ohio and Lime Rock would be too small for WEC grid given we’ve already got a lot and 3 more comingRoad America or Atlanta would be cool
>>150664891I agree but people still try and say the porsche or toyota is secretly the better car.
>>150664760 I like the original F1 layout and I like the new fast chicane that replaced the carousel but I would prefer a fast chicane and the banked turn. In fact I believe the banked turn only left because Bernie Ecclestone threw a massive fit that F1 looked slower running it than Indycar. Firstly, he’d actually pretty based for realizing this was bad for F1 prestige st a time when Indy had some hope of competing with F1. Secondly Bernie is gone and the bank is kino and the gentleman drivers will appreciate the opportunity to get photos and be on TV driving down it and over the bricks. Plus Indyshart is so trash we need a new race to replace that awful series
>>150664891Well they apparently worked to make the car aero work better in yaw/turning than other teams because the FIA/ACO only test in a linear tunnel so they don’t check for that, they probably stall out a little in a straight line so there aero numbers don’t look as good as they really are to the regulators
>>150664690i guess he didn't enjoy it enough to make the switch, by this point i doubt he'll run anything other than wrc
>>150665094One thing I would say about Toyotaku is their BoP is bullshit considering how long it’s been since they had any success. I get why their fans might be salty, it could be competitive but it gets BoP like it’s been winning this season but it’s actually been poor all season
>Make dinner while watching turnleft>Tune back on to WEC>Holy shit sports cars in the rain!!!Finally, some real racing.
>>150665114They technically could run turn one reverse still with the current layout, by just avoiding the last bus stop/chicane section, but the lap time would probably be too short then, but Interlagos exists so I don’t see why not
ahhh, endurance racing is still GOATedpls no more SC>>150665260based fellow WEC enjoyer
biz idea: WEC at VIR
Cadillac owns Toyota. It's official. Mark it.
>>150665344Sports Car.racing is best car racing, no matter how much IMSA and FIA want to ruin it.
Love how you can hear the Valkyrie above all the other cars. Bugatti needs to enter Hypercar with their bigger V16 Cossie to go alongside the V12 in the Aston, my ears would cum.
>>150665128That sounds a bit off. Everything we know about the 499p indicates it’s better in a straight line, which would indicate a lower drag/lower downforce setup which correlates to it being slower in corners.But being quicker in a straight line is a bigger advantage in endurance racing, where you will do more overtaking. That’s going to be easier in a straight, where as higher drag cars will get held up more in corners which takes away their corner speed advantage Really I’ll be fascinated to see if any new teams can compete with them in the next couple of seasons
>>150665655if they have a better aero package, they can run lower downforce setup to give them an advantage of the straights and still be as fast as the others in the corners
>>150665655Stalling the aero can reduce drag and increase straight line speed when done right though, it’s very important with current reg F1 so there is technology crossover there..

>>150665850The Valkyrie only runs with a little more than Half the power the road car has with the same V12, engines can be tuned down, if anything the more you can tune an engine down the better it would be for endurance and efficiency. Can’t go too lean or an engine will blow itself to bits though.

>>150666138It’d be interesting to hear cars racing through a tunnel but try getting any race organisation to sanction that one lol
kwab
the world needs more KINO+SOVL wet racing like this desu...
>>150666160>engines can be tuned downofc all engines can be tuned down but that doesnt mean every engine will remain "happy". Vibration issues can appear , driveability can suffer, etc. It really depends on the engine if its feasible or not.
>>150666160Yea, and it’s not very competitive, at all, really. Not much point dragging around a big V12 when a TT V6 will comfortably and reliably make max power and not compromise your packaging or weight distribution as much given its smaller sizeAny road, I don’t even remember the last time I saw Bugatti factory involved in motorsports. It’s not really their thing
>>150666160it does mean you are carrying an engine that's 2x heavier than it needs to be
>>150666363also good luck with with packaging around a 1-meter long V16 >>150666343
>>150666231kek
>>150666307Yeah, a Race V16 is probably pushing things a little with that length of crank but the Brand Rep would be immense if they could make it work, not that Bugatti would ever need to.Gotta love the but we could not that we should of it though, Nismo GTR LM has a cult fan base for that line of reasoning despite not working out.
Kubica is a legend for winning Le Mans carrying this shitter on his back

>>150666801thats_the_joke.bin
>>150666678Based and Kazunori should stop using acid and bring this back instead of adding modern crossovers
>>150666544The pay piggy team needs a win.
Sea bass surge when?
How about this for insanity, transverse v12 in a fucking single seater that weighs less than half a ton.
Is there any way to see tire age and fuel levels like there is in IMSA, or can we only know when they show it on the broadcast?
>>150666965Fuck youhave a 4L
>>150666965crossovers need so people can go and buy bc look my car is in the game
Wordl Euro Cucks, please reject COTA, embrace Sebring. Being faggot is a choice. Please stop it.
Classic BMW reliabilityI wonder if they also leave oil stains behind them on the grid lol
>>150666965Wouldn’t mind the crossovers if they weren’t hybrid appliances that will never be tunable because manufacturers hate people modifying Electric cars.
>>150667026When the supreme leader deems it is appropriate.
>>150666965>>150667051I mean even if they added more modern race cars their class system makes no sense and it’s just end up being a cluster fuck. Forza Motorsports class system is workable for modern race cars but they really dropped the ball elsewhere.I’ve been getting my vrooms from LMU. Hopefully project motor racing will be good because I CBA with PC
>>150666965what's that? you want GT8 Nissan Juke Edition?>>150667051don't disrespect the mighty 4L
>>150667147Yeah, normies still buy Minis en mass here in the uk despite the reliability being a known issue for pretty much two decades at this point.(Mini use BMW mechanicals)
>>150667048Stop asking questions and enjoy your globalist slop, goy.
>>150667144I really dislike Sebring. It’s basically flat. I really hate race tracks with no elevation change. It’s just a meme because muh history muh bumpiness that’s just an excuse for the owners to not spend a penny on upkeep
>>150667236>Minimad that BMW have managed to take a BL product and make it even more unreliable
>kwab
>>150667231I’ll take classic compacts any day over soulless VGT Concepts and Crossovers.Crossovers, don’t get me started, single handed running current car culture into the ground.
>>150667158lol the delusion.Manufacturers want to forbid you from touching any internal thing on your car whether hybrid, electricshit or ICE.And yeah basically every big manufacturer from toyota to bmw, so you cant workaround the more and more:- subscription plans- spying- random manufacturer service fees- skyhigh manufacturer service
>>150667048i think it's supposed to hide it from the opposition, they do the same shit in f*rmula e
Miserable race for Toyota
>>150667293I’ll give you that one, conservative governments in the later 20th century killed our car industry
>>150667293>>150667236tbf the worst reliability thing in mini history is a joint BMW + PSA coproduction, possibly the worst duo
>>150667293The original relaunch of the Mini was actually done by Rover. The prototype was on eBay a while ago, with Rover emblems etched in the glass. BMW came in and just took all the credit. Shame really
>>150667339miserable season desu, they are cucked out by the hydrogen regs slow to arrive
>>150667401mostly yeahhttps://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/bmw-mini/mini-2/r50-development-story/
>>150667339Yea can’t even stay on track. It’s a shame we never got to see a dry qualifying. I feel like we never really found out who had the best one lap dry pace.I know that doesn’t indicate who will win, but I was very interested to see if the 499p would be quicker because I wasn’t sure it would be
>>150667293Mad that BMW took rover and killed it so the chinese can munch on the Rover MG corpse. Same for GM giving up SAAB btw
red flag in 5
>>150667324This sort of thing is leaking to many aspects of modern consumerism, I’m just hoping the car industry takes two steps back but people will just eat it up until literally nobody can get into driving anymore because affordable used cars are either gone, unmaintainable or banned for not being ‘up to date with modern standards’ (Not being capable of withstanding a minor collision with Karen’s three and a half tone Electric Qashkai)
>>150667589frigg off

>2 spinamathingsit's over
Fucking commentator simping for the Iron Memes again (looks like the project is under threat)
>that spinyeah its over
>>150667589Green Flag in Perpetuity
>>150667567I’m actually kind of surprised some Chinese electric company hasn’t bought the Saab name to slap the badge on their motors to help sell them in Europe.Although maybe it wouldn’t make much difference because the EU introduced a big import tax on Chinese electric cars because when they said “buy an electric car” what they actually meant was “buy a German electric car”
Holy recovery by Marciello
KINO
peak motor racing desu
>>150667742Seeing more and more Chinese vehicles in the UK, like increasing surprisingly quickly, I think they want more to grow in there own brands rather than hijack history, which I kind of respect more than when I see New MG’s which just make me Cringe
Business idea: +1 bonus point for each completed 360
IF THEY DIE THEY DIE
If it stays green, that's how men are seperated from the boysThis is pure kino to keep the car just on track
Varrone is flying
>>150667880Bianchi guardian angel for the drivers right now.(RIP)
>>150667742Back when spyker sold it to the chinese NEVS cover company, Scania went in and forbid the chinese to use the name and griffin logo and understandably they don't intend to sell the right to be slapped on some plastic lithium ion bomb
>>150667849Those new MGs are a real steal though for the money, I’ve seen plenty. Certainly more than the BYDs, Ora Cats or whatever the fuck they are
>>150667940Wasn’t the Spyker brand itself “borrowed” from another company of the same name that made planes and things? The ironing of it all>tfw no gold Spyker LMH car
Radio Le Mans is truly just an extended commercial for Hertz
>>150667940Oh, I was hoping it was because the Chinese had some semblance of respect or soul but no, they were legally stopped of course… I kind of hope somebody or anybody will save Lotus from going to the Grave like TVR nevertheless. That Lotus crossover probably has Chapman hitting the Rev Limit in his coffin already anyway.
>>150667996These BYDs and Ora are shitboxes being shoved down third world markets by chinks. Avoid.
>Pissh
The 009 and 007 are still up there, noice.
Amazing how not even Hanson managed to spin these Ferraris but everyone else spun at least once
>>150668165Tbf had it not been for the Chinese Lotus would already be dead. I don’t think low volume relatively affordable sports cars can really work anymore. The economy of scale just isn’t there. Not unless you go ultra high end like KoenigsegegeigeggJust look at TVR…
FUCK YEAH
Moments like that is when I wonder just how good Rossi could have been if he did F1 like when he toyed with the idea when he was younger.I feel like it’s only a matter of time before someone else goes from two to four wheels and surprises everyone like Surtees. Damon Hill started on bikes and he had no right being as good as he was starting cars at the age he did.
>>150668393they can work if done right. See Rimac, Bugatti, Pagani, etc...
>>150668716The average price of all those cars are in the millions, no one making large numbers of sports cars turns a profit. mclaren, aston, lotus, all lose money and porsche, lamborgini make all their money selling SUVs. Only exceptionis really ferrari and now they make and SUV too.
>>150668850Now that they've swallowed their pride, Ferrari might as well give the world a 4pot shitboxthose are becoming a luxury item as well with all the 1.2 3 cylinders running around
>>150668991There was supposed to be an electric ferrari revealed next month I think but I think they delayed it.
>>150668991werent they working on an electric car? it's hardly better

>>150669075>>150669108I mean it’s not really their fault given the EU is currently still sticking to banning sales of new ICE cars (which will destroy their car industry, cost millions of jobs and do untold economic damage) but >>150668991I can’t remember now 2030?Pretty much forced into that by legislation
