I'll probably fall asleep before the first hour, but GO ASTON!!!!!
This ends at the same time I usually wake up, but I took a 2 hour nap, so I'll be good, right?

Aston, noooo!!!!
#007 needs a better driver

The universe truly hates Toyota Gazoo Racing
How do Tincknell and Buemi still have jobs?
????????
>>151037482Faaaaaaack007 shaken and stirred
STANG SURGE
>>151037485>>151037496So it just locked up the rears on a down shift?
>>151037651Too late on the brakes, locked up the rear
>>151037537I used to, too, but now I just feel bad for them. How. The fuck. Do they still have such shit BoP?
This looks like an LMU lobby
>>151037726Nah not enough cars facing backwards
>>151037612I believe this is to cover an Aston Martin shaped hole in the 53.
>>151037709Aston vs Caddy vs Joe soon
fuck off andlauer

For the curious, you can find all race direction decisions, penalties and whatnot herehttps://fiawec.alkamelsystems.com/noticeBoard.phpit's not updated live, but they do update it a few times through the race
>>151037773Based. Throw in Alpine and it's my 4 favorite cars. Too bad they are running in the mid pack today.
This has been quite messy, but man, what a race so far.
The fuck is the 009 penalty for???
>>151038022Thanks, m8! You can get them live on the Timing71 browser extension.
>DTP for 009FUCK THIS SHIT FUCKING STEWARDS 120Please wait a while before making a post
>>151038155FCY procedures I think, along with a lot of others.
>not even an hour in>all this bodywork damage
>>151038155It says they were under investigation for FCY procedure, but the feed exploded with pit stops so it's hard to say.
>>151038229there's been a few skill issues
>>151038232MFW my favorite cars are damaging each other.
I hate the captcha in this website so much is unreal
>>151038396It was doing that to me during the Xfinity race, but it's better now.
>>151037020the only race that matters is Le Mans. everything else of comparable prestige got regulated out of existence
>>151038600The Indy 500 is going, clearly or did you mean just sports car races.
>83 possible floor damage>Kubica might not even drive
>>151038718obviously I was talking about the WEC, the other anon only mentioned the WEC. Indy does have the same problem of only one event having any real value.
>>151038600What was regulated out of existence?
>>151038821Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Carerra Panamerica, Real Nurbugring 1000km, real Spa 1000km
<Aston Martin BTFO by a FCY penalWhat did they even do? Speeding?Sebass BTFO.
>>151038600WEC needs longer races with some actual prestige. IMSA gets Sebring and Petit Le Mans, tracks with history that people actually care about, meanwhile WEC gets Qatar and Bahrain. If they made Spa into a 10 or 12 hour race as well as Fuji or Imola it would really help the series. The problem is WEC cares more about oil money.
>>151038871Most those havent truly been run in like 50 years? I get the point but those dont really have any relevance to modern sportscar racing.
>>151038871Ah, the age of titansMy grandfather remembered following the 1000 Miglia on the radio, I doubt even the oldest oldfags can remember that time though, those based road races were banned and eventually turned into rallying
>>151038777I can't think of any other series that have such tent pole races. I guess the Daytona 500nand Daytona 24 hours, but those aren't on the level of le Mans and Indy. Dakar for the rally raid circuit, maybe?
>>151038871Extremely based. Also Monza 1000km
>>151038917Fully agree adding a 12 hours of silverstone and just one more 8-12 hour race would do wonders I think. Even better find a way to make Daytona 24 a dual series race with WEC.
you cannot manufacture "prestige" for a race. it has to be earned over many years.
>>151038948that's my point. sports cars/endurance racing hasn't had any real relevance in 50 years. the only reason Group C got popular is because it was effectively tin top F1. the core distinction of endurance racing from grand prix rscing isn't just the time, it's the fact the teams had to actually do endurance events. they had to race from town to town, maintain the cars on the road, have a crew in the car who could do repairs on the fly. only Le Mans even remotely still has that component to it, and even then only as a shadow. just doing hundreds of laps around a curated cultivated GP circuit is as phony as it gets. it's like comparing a marathon running event on the road to one done on some college track & field circuit. sure, you do the same distance, but one clearly has an additional element of challenge to it.
>>151039016Sebring is the traditional 'international' endurance event of the US. Daytona is pure IMSA.
>>151038917>IMSA gets Sebring and Petit Le MansDaytona 24 hours is pretty kino and is also pretty historic by this point. WEC needs a better US event race, too.

>>151039323>>151039339>>151039320they didn't stop a second time after doing an emergency pit stop under FCYIt's a pretty open and close case
Al Harthy Miklós?
>>151039183In the old road race times, 1000 Miglia, Targa Florio, the top drivers were doing both F1 and enduranceJust worth adding
>>151039183>just doing hundreds of laps around a curated cultivated GP circuit is as phony as it gets.Transcendently based.
>>151039016>>151039236I think it should be Sebring, but I'd be happy with either.
>>151039470It would be good for sports car racing if more F1 drivers did it, there was over 100k watching max at the nurburgring this am
>>151039255>The 009 surge is real It's a dream come true.
>>151039470that was mostly due to f1 not paying that well, as soon as tobacco sponsorship became a thing most didn't bother running something else
I wouldn't blame Toyota if they were to exit WEC now.
>>151039520>>151039516Sebring clashes with the F1 season usually I think. If you want to "manufacture" prestige it would be good to have F1 drivers competing at Daytona, Lemans and however many more events.
Fujis last sector is a trailbraking excercise
>>151039520it's like if Josef Newgarden showed up to a SCCA event. Buschwhacking is lame. let's see Verstappen go up against the top sports car drivers.
>>151039245but you have loads of merican circuits to run in IMSA, there's no reason for prototype driver driving the circuit with similar car twice in the same year to prevent conflict of interests.also>petit le man(road atlanta) clashes with WEC's late season schedule>pathetic surface for sebring>daytona isn't well FIA-sanctioned>FIA has indy-PTSD due to tyregateso the 6 hr COTA might be the status-quo answer for having one of the most, unless road atlanta can hold the race during august
>>151039470That was back innthe day when American drivers were doing stock cars, sports cars, sprint cars and Indy. The talent pool was much, much smaller and and driving skills were more general. >>151039520>t would be good for sports car racing if more F1 drivers did itYeah, Alanso did us a sold for sure. He was the last of the real ones. I know Max is branching out, but I just can't take him seriously. Although the completely assploded that NLS stream today.
>>151039681I think we are agreeing I want to see Max Leclerc etc drive prototypes and at the same time its good for sports car racing to have those kinds of drivers involved.
>>151039613i hated toyotawinslol as much as the next guy, but i wanted to see someone beat them fair and square, not the series boping them into irrelevance, it's ridiculous
>>151039681He has to go through the NLS to be able to run the 24
>>151039555>got overtaken by poojoe with similar tyre stratwhat?
>>151039645I've hated it ever since I first experienced it in GT4
>>151039638F1 is the most manufactured thing in all of racing. Just mix it in and all the footballer style fans will follow, for better or worse.
>>151039722>FIA has indy-PTSD due to tyregateWEC doing a 12 hour race at Indy could be incredible if they wanted a major American event, especially since IMSA is changing Indy to a sprint race. The FIA and ACO need to grow up and move on.
I like French accent interview guy, though he makes me hate that "just tell us what happened" woman on the F1 broadcasts even more>something completely differentDe Freeze...?
>>151039806There is 9 prototype manufactures with 3 more on the way if we want them to stick around the sport will need to grow.
>>151039645The neat part is that it's all up hill, so it's more forgiving with acceleration. >>151039788Checked.I love it. What I hate is Suzuka sector 1. The entire thing is made to get you to carry too much speed.
>>151039881That's the whole gimmick of SuzukaIn fact it does it three times
>>151039555Checked, let's go Aston, wot
>>151039751true
>>151039722>but you have loads of merican circuits to run in IMSA, there's no reason for prototype driver driving the circuit with similar car twice in the same year to prevent conflict of interests.I agree, IMSA is Bogarting all the good historic tracks. >petit le man(road atlanta) clashes with WEC's late season scheduleMeh, it's in 2 weeks>pathetic surface for sebringThat's part of challenge >>daytona isn't well FIA-sanctionedThat's just one fat envelope away from being fixed.>FIA has indy-PTSD due to tyregateThe Indy road course isn't worthy>6 hr COTAIt's the FIAs main US circuit so all the FIA series have to hit it for financial reasons.
>>151039638not necessary, sportcar racing is pretty much different category, while formula 1 has one of the most intensive schedule amongst all other categories>at least 20 races weel>loads of simulator testing>PR showeven joining other categories, they still need to convince the team to spare off-time or even intentionally withdraw, which the team usually not allowed unless the contract allowsdaytona might be a good chance for F1 driver as a warm-up race, but not always possible as car development also at the heat at that momentle mans kinda impossible as it always clashed with leafland GP
>>151039748Exactly. You can't have a good bad guy if they don't have any teeth. I want to hate them, but now I just feel sorry for them. That being said, they keep shooting themselves in the foot, but their BoP has been blatantly biased all season. It really does look like they upset someone in the FIA. I guess the check bounced.
>>151039759Yeah, if it has been any other car, I'd be happy to see Peugeot making moves.
>>151040038There is so much overlap now between the hypercar manufactures and the F1 teams I think it could be done. Ferrari, Aston, Alpine and soon Mclaren, Ford (red bull), Cadillac will all have presence in both series.Not saying it will happen but that if the FIA and teams wanted to they probably could.
38 Caddy is pretty fucked up
>AI overlords genderbend Andlauer in team radio transcript
>>151040192the teams are generally ran by separate organisations. Ferrari is AF Corse, Aston is Heart of Racing, and Cadillac is Jota. they get assistance from the factory but they're fundamentally separate.
>>151039876Honestly, it's growing pretty well on its own, but nothing like what even 2 or 3 current F1 drivers could do.
>>151040218Bourdais also not having a great one, he spun off during the formation lap

>sniffer sniffing the wall
>>151040234most F1 teams have their drivers under a contract that forbids them from participating in other championships, mostly because they don't want to risk them getting injured.
Holy shitter
PINO LEADS
>>151040038Don't forget, there is a very real chance the driver can get injured and miss F1 races as a result.
If you need something to look at during the yellow, a whole bunch of motorsport webms were dumped in >>>/tv/214848959
oof
>>151040343Heroic webmingDo we call that a brake test?
>>151040343
>>151040291Oops.Hock der tassen!
>>151040358few webms i've made are there kek
>>151040381the porsche has no reason to slow down thereit's all flat out until the hairpin into the chicane
>>151040358>the first oneI've read that the big series abandoned Mosport in the 80s because Can-Ams started backflipping coming up the first rise after the main straight
>>151040317>>151040233If ferrari wanted leclerc or hamilton in the car AF corse would do it. Personally I think the publicilty ferrari would get out of having one or both them race at lemans is worth the low chance the driver gets injured. Racing is mostly advertising after all.
>>151040381Braking there is pretty absurd to be honest
>cause the incident>benefit massively from itThey're getting a big one

>>151040690https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SaiVW3QfZc&t=68s
Wew. I'm impressed
>>151040438they could theoretically tell AFC to let them race, but they have no incentive to. the F1 crew almost certainly view Le Mans as a step below F1 in terms of prestige. If anything they'd see it as a loss of status if one of their drivers went there.(I will never acclimate to Al-Hamil racing at Ferrari)
>>151040656Singabro would have loved to see a privateer and especially FAT leading the race ;_;
>jacking off oil country sponsor during yellow flag
Man, these guys are really making up for the last race. In fact, this is about on par with Spa earlier this year. Remember how bonkers that race was. I think WEC has easily been the best series for me this year.
>>151040859You know it, man.
guys I fucking love motor racing, it's the only reason I'm on 4chan these days>tfw you almost escaped from 4chan, but motor/sp/ort kept you from leaving

>>151041048>guys I fucking love motor racing, it's the only reason I'm on 4chan these days Same, but I hardly look at the other boards and threads. This is easily the best community for racing on the planet.

WTF happened to Button?
>>151041105Kunimitsu Takahashi also started on bikes and then switched to cars. Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Masahiro Hasemi as well.
This race is absolutely fucking amazing.
>>151041361we need to accept he is gone but adopt his high effort posting style.
fuji has given some banger races the last couple of seasons
Fuji is one of the best.
>>151041398Getting some Spa feelings out of this, even though Aston throwed the race from the start they are acting like a wildcard right now.

>>151041398Yea but >PorscheWinsLol
>>151041398Fuji is consistently so good. It's a perfect track for multiclass.
>>151041464Yeah, I'm pretty sure he is. He posted the updated schedule a couple days ago. He quietly holds this place together. We'd be pretty fucked without him.
nooooo not the proton
PORSCHE MURDER
Fucking bullshit Ferrari fucker!!!!
Estre is insane.
He did a Hakkinen Spa
>>151041398I enjoy Fuji, devilishly tricky to drive in sims but makes for great viewing
>>151041535That onboard was insane.
>>151041547Honestly I hate it in sims, but it's such an amazing track to watch races at
>>151041552gonna need a webm of that plox
The Ferrari and Aston look so fucking cool racing eachother. Too bad Glickenhaus isn't here anymore.
>>151041507the long ass straight is perfect for the higher class(es) to overtake the lower class(es)works for WEC, works for Super GT, works for Super Taikyu, it just works.

>>151041970imagine if after all this ferrari wins lol
>>151041929I'm waiting for Barcelona 24h to start commentary again, to be honest I kind of looked down on that series in the past but I watched it today (yesterday?) and it was pretty dank for what it is and I will readily admit I was wrong about it
>>151041963
>>151041995I watched the Bathurst 12hr this year and that really got me into endurance racing where GT3 is the top class. It's a really good time.
>>151041929We are seeing levels of comfy previously thought to be impossible.
KINO+SOVL motorracing after the SC went outgo 83, go Iron Dames (yes, i would have sex with all of them, how did you know?)>>151041974yes>>151041970absolute CINEMA
>>151042017I already knew Bathurst is fucking awesome, whether it's the 1000 (coming up soon!) or the 12 Hour.
>>151042017bathrust is fucking greati did watch last year's, i'll give the highlights a watch
What the fuck was that dive?
>>151041949The Mustang is the best sounding V8 on the grid.
>>151041975It's really one of those races where it's impossible to tell who is going to win.
>>151042072aka a shorthand for a good race imo
>FCY because fuck you
>FCYthe hell? inb4 debris
>>151041995It really is a pretty good series, but I didn't have the time to watch it yesterday. I'll probably tune in for the end, though.
haven't heard Eduardo yetis he not doing the race direction? did he bail?
>>151042017I don't think I've ever seen a bad race at Bathurst. In fact, I don't think I've seen a bad race in Australia, but Bathurst always slaps. The Improved Production races there are balls to the wall.
>>151042100let me put it this way, Mercedes-AMG sending Maro Engel to this race is overkill. Buschwhacking, as they say in asscar.
>>151042122I really want to start following the Supercars Championship, but watching live just isn't feasible with my time zone and work schedule
>>151042102he just spoke on my stream

>>151042131somebody has to keep Klaus Bachler in check>>151042139yeah>>151042140deservedly so
>>151042122right. those blokes know what motor racing is all about.
>>151042137>watching live just isn't feasible with my time zone and work scheduleSame I managed a few at the start of the season, but I fell off pretty quickly. Same with Super GT and Super Formula, although I did a bit better with those. Now that burningwhee1s is dead IDK where to watch replays.
Pier Guidi doesn't play too well with other kids
>>151042153i.e. nobody told them motorsports *wasn't* a con-contact sort of thing lol
how would (you) fix LM Ultimate
>>151042169The Supercars Championship actually has a REALLY good YouTube page. Like 7USD/month for all the replays and live events. It's a good deal, I just find that I can't get invested in a series unless I see most of the races live, or there's not that many races in a season (like WEC)
it's too early in the morning to see Estre doing Estre things

>>151042137I only bother with the historic events. Bathurst, Sandown. I also watched the Phillip Island and Pukekohe events back when they ran.
>>151042325:( :(

What did he say about the Sex Pistols?
>>151042357>>151042383Unfortunate but unsurprising.
>>151042286>one of their factory carsAs a whole (including vibes) I think the 499p is THE car of they Hypercar era. It's the cooler LMH format, it looks great and it's had some pretty significant wins. I think the Valkyrie could easily unseat it, but they need at least one or two least Mans wins.

You now remember that the 36 Alpine scored 2 podiums in the first 3 races.

>>151042398the Ferrari would be rad if it wasn't a V6. I get they use that platform as a loophole to get around the F1 costcap, but I don't care. it's boring.
>french Goodyears
>>151042452Toto said they want cost cap and no BOP. Lesser known is that porsche also had a flip at petit lemans.
>fecalboost
>88 dying on track
>>151042518They do it every fucking time
Peugeot has traction to spare, holy fuck
>>151042492idk man, I enjoyed growing up in a high-trust society. now that is not the case.
>>151042504Yeah, there is something a bit lack luster about a V6 Ferrari. It makes sense for Acura and Toyota and even Peugeot, but a Ferrari needs at least 8 cylinders.
>>151042527>lowest possible weight>highest possible hpthey better have traction
>>151042533cities are inherently low-trust, even in Japan.
>>151042516I know the Road Atlanta Porsche "911" GT1 flip.
>>151042526>88>not a german carwell deserved
>>151042516>porsche also had a flip at petit lemans.BMW did, too.
>>151042527>>151042543All wheel drive, too.
>>151042527I want the Peugeot to win back then, but after they redesigned the car to give it wings, i feel neutral towards them now.
>>151042540it's not like Ferrari haven't ran things as small as I4s before, it's just there's nothing in the current rules that incentivise a V6 like there was in the old days. the reason they ran I4s, I6s, V6s, I8s, and V8s back in the 50s-80s is because there were rulesets that incentivised them.
>>151042570Also, they have square tires like everyone else now. What's crazy is that they did so well in the last race with the old design.
>>151042547forgrt cities, towns are low trust now tooyou can't trust anyone
>>151042571bring back inline 6's

>>>/tv/214860274Falso lol
>>151042599And Aston runs two in theirs
>>151042585Races are high trust like crazy. There is so much expensive stuff just laying about, both teams and campers. It's like golf or skiing and other white people activities.
>AGGRESSIVE steam off the brakesIf they put that shit in the F1 movie everyone would shit on it for being overdone.
GIGA KUBICA spotted
>>151042599The BMW M3 GT3 is a 4.0 V8. The vast majority of the cars in WEC and IMSA are V8s, which is further proof that it is the best engine layout.
>>151042629>steamit's smoke, from burning brake material
>>151042640
>I4T>I6TT>V8Tbest engines, fight me
>>151042640that was the old M8 and M6. the M4 GT3 is an I6, same as the road car. https://www.bmw-m.com/en/fastlane/motorsport/race-cars/bmw-m4-gt3-evo.html
>>151042629Only people who don't know endurance racing. I love it during night races when brakes catch fire and the pit crew just ignores it.
>>151042669NA V10
>>151042661Just realized there are 3 6 cylinder GT3 cars but all in different layouts, 1 V6, 1 Inline, and 1 flat.
>>151042669NA V8>>151042661>>151042681Oh, man. I'm disappointed.
>>151042691missing 2 cylinders
>>151042609feels good to be Road America chad. nobody will fuck with your shit there.
>>151042718>NA V8good but unfortunately usually put in cars that can't turn
>>151042691if you're gonna do 10 you might as well do 12

Shea Adam... what the fuck did IMSA do to lose her? best pit reporter since Jon Beekhuis.
>alpine winning (bigly)
>>151042804The BoP giveth and the BoP taketh away.
>>151042744>muscle cars can't turnis a meme euros came up with to justify their sour grapes. even back in the 60s and 70s, stuff like the Boss 302 Mustang and Camaro Z/28 would run circles around Euro competition. reminder that the BTCC had to outright ban American cars from competing after a NASCAR-spec Galaxie utterly dominated every race it entered in 1963-1964.
>>151042744>usually put in cars that can't turnLike Corvettes, Aston Martins, McLarens, Ferraris and Mercedes?
>>151042824None of these cars are currently sold with an NA V8. But you should all go and buy a CT5-V Blackwing before its gone.
>>151042812BoP is so gay it's insane man. who cares if ferrari and toyota win every race without BoP. they earned it for being better
>>151042823>>151042824shit I offended V8 fans loldon't get me wrong, bring back CART 1000 HP V8T's
>>151042804Please let this happen. >>151042812Honestly I think they got the BoP pretty much perfect for this one except for Toyota. Toyota got fucked all season and still they could have won if it wasn't for an insanely poorly timed caution that fucked a lot of teams.
>>151042732I really want to got to Road America. I go to Road Atlanta every year and went to Sebring for the first time this year. Had a blast. Now that it will be an endurance race I might have to make the trek.
>>151042837Detroit needs to earn my business. trucks, SUVs, and overpriced sedans do not impress me.
The Ferrari 296 is a horrible looking car but it looks fabulous in GT3 form
>>151042908Best looking ferrari since the 458 but yeah it is better in GT3 form
The Aston really fell off after half the race
>>151042837>None of these cars are currently sold with an NA V8Uh, the Corvette sure as hell is.
>>151042890I want to go to Road Atlanta too. but yeah, it's about time Road America got a proper endurance race. finally a bit of respect for the best Road course in America.
>GIGA KUBICA SURGE
>>151042890>I really want to got to Road America. I go to Road Atlanta every yearSame.
>>151042938Yeah i forgot it was only the ZR1 that is turbo now but I think the point still stands.
>>151042908yeah, not a fan
>Aston "skill issue" Martin
Well now it definitely fell off
>ashton shartin
>>151042908>>151042922all cars are better in race car formI have no interest in cars that do not race
>asston "attempted murder" shartin
>>151042973>>151042980Shit, I missed it. What happened?
>>151042985Anon, almost all cars are raced. Even Twingos and Fits.
>>151042852you made a factually incorrect statement and were corrected.
>>151042941I know the camping is big which is awesome. Do the tent spots sell out? I looked at it a while ago and it was fairly pricey if I remember right.
>>151043005I wish the FIA could stop being retarded for long enough to convince koeniggsegg to race one of his cars
what is #51's problem
shaken and stirred
>>151043030>Do the tent spots sell out? NTAYes. I could only get infeild parking this year. I hope they don't break my balls over a hammock. >I looked at it a while ago and it was fairly pricey if I remember right.It's $100 to get in and $100 for parking or tent camping. I usually get tent camping and that covers the vehicle too, or at least it did. It's getting BIG so I expect they will be getting more strict.
How the fuck Alpine do it ??
>>151043105good strategy and luck in the traffic lottery
Can the Alpine make it to the end without a stop?
>>151043105BoP. it's like racing with a chastity cage
>>151043105Wild ass yellow flags and pit cycles.
