>>151089815unfortunate the Civic Type R was short-lived. it's probably the car among the big 3 that has the shortest career in Super GT (aside from R32 skyline if you only count JGTC)
BTW the host city for Rally Acropolis 2026 has yet to be determined. Loutraki and Lamia aside, there is Almyros contesting to organize the event but it's got much less pedigree regarding motorsport, so I find it unlikely.>https://www.drive.gr/news/ellada/o-almyros-magnisias-diekdikei-eko-rally-akropolis-2026

Thinking about sports car racing
>>151083437If you went to a late 80's early 90's WRC event how close to the road would you be comfortable getting? I know I would always be too worried standing right on the edge like some of the people back then.>>151089815I wish they would race it outside of Japan some.
Are they finally updating their design?
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/wec-program-impacting-hyundais-wrc-performance-neuville/Wow what a shocker, hyundai is rwalising that splitting people off from the wrc team to help in the wec campaign hurts their performance>>151107444yes and yes.They already hinted at styling changes, but they also confirned performance upgrade as well for next yearhttps://www.autosport.com/wec/news/toyota-to-introduce-updated-le-mans-hypercar-for-wec-2026/10763664/

>>151108178inshallah the genesis wec program becomes a lamborghini tier disaster they don't deserve success after what they did to touring cars and now with wrc

>>151079867qualifying starts tomorrowlast year they had a YouTube stream for qualifying but I think it was just lap times and commentary, no cameras until the actual races start
>Kobayashi added that Toyota needed to develop a car that is “so fast it is capable of winning even when given the maximum weight and minimum power by the BoP”.Wow nothing sounds like effective cost reduction like instead of needing the fastest car you need the fastest car by 2 seconds/lap by spending 9 thousand wind tunnel hours looking for gaps in the homologation testing.>somehow Toyota changing tire sizes didn't even use a joker while Peugeot used an entire new car homologationWhat the fuck is this class man
>>151108410ah ok I thought there is something new>>151110116the toyota change is not as extreme so possibly lot less change involved already in the body and suspension, not mentioning that pug changed a shitload of other thing as well already

>>151108214It's likely. It was surely difficult for him to be in a team that revolved around Colin. It's curious because one of the Cordoba's few virtues was its excellent power utilization thanks to its differentials, according to Daniel Marbán (Spanish driver and engineer)
>>151062404
>>151107444Thank fuck. She's fucking old.
>>151101851>I wish they would race it outside of Japan some.That defeats the point of attending a Super GT event.I see and hear Super GT cars, I want to hear and be surrounded by Super GT fans. WRC Rally USA is going to have the most annoying fans imgainable.
>>151101851You know what Colin said when he was asked at the end of a stage if he had gone all out: "I'm here, so no."
Sébastien Loeb mentioned he competed in a bmw m3 in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2001. Does anyone know if he was in the Schnitzer GTRs or was it another BMW team?
>>151112848https://youtu.be/ZcdUnLp873w
>>151112848It was an E36 from DUWO Racing
I guess we can add "attaching suspension arms to uprights" to the list of things AI can't do, yeesh.
>>151113053Also there was a C5 Corvette GT3?
>>151113103>DUWO Racing E36Near the beginning of his career, I guess it makes sense he wasn't in a BMW GTR

>>151111813great livery
North Carolina is best Carolina.https://www.thedrive.com/news/north-carolinas-right-to-race-law-will-help-keep-tracks-open
>>151116616The announcer specifically refers to it as a GT3
>>151116992There was one or two C5 Corvettes entered in what was last known as GTE while it was still GT3 in places (this is Daytona in 1999), that's probably whatever the fuck he's talking about. It's particularly weird because it's a hatchback and all non-C5-R C5 race cars from 2000 on including the still very rare Pratt & Miller LMGT are based on the hardtop and then Z06. On the other hand it's an A7 car like the Viper and not A6 like the Porsche GT3s but that's probably just displacement.
>>151090463
>>151113733>superbowl commercials and Graham turned it down1. what a retard, no wonder team Rahal is going to shit, but at least Bobby Rahal is still in control of the team with his name on it, unlike Michael Andretti2. that would have been a waste of money for Fox
>>151118351one of the few cars from before the 1980's that I like
>>151117451Wonder if it was some weird German Callaway Competition creation.
>>151118961idk if GM will ever go back to FR Corvette but there are many fans of that engine/drive train configuration for sure
>>151118961Nah that would have been about 100x cooler.
my opinion is GM felt they had to show they could do it. even though they are decades too late, the best MR car was made in 1990 (pic related)
>bamf had a 50k donation goal on his streamkek
>>151119344The affordable sports car no longer exists and trust fund kids and oil sheiks weren't buying front engine boomermobiles, while the boomers will just keep buying a Corvette every 2-3 years until they are extinct no matter what it looks like because it's part of their identity.
Detroit can suck my ass, this new interest in sports car racing is a desperate cope to cover up the fact that Ford and Chevrolet don't even make normal sedan cars anymore because they were BTFO in that market by Honda and Toyota
>>151119436ok boomer
Detroit went all in on trucks and SUVs because they couldn't make a sedan worth a shit
anyone going to the 8 hours?
>>151120430They went all in on SUV's cause American car culture is dead. A vast majority of people no longer find any personality in a vehicle, so they just get a monochrome suv, the most soulless people carrier you could get. And thats if people even bother getting a driver license these days.
>>151110116The Peugeot drastically redesigned their aerodynamics along with the tire change. Also, Toyota had been their own worst enemy this year, like spinning out in the rain or getting retarded penalties. Still, it's pretty blatant that the Fucking Idiots Association is bullying the hell out of them for???? Winning too much in the last 10 years???? I guess their check didn't clear or something. >>151111109

>>151113228Even the leafs AI image is full of jeets. Absolute kek.
>>151113228I still think its a cool concept for an open wheel. I dont know how good it would be in the corners and stuff but im also not an aero guy.>>151124307Spooky skeletons.
>>151119436The people who are buying the C8 are largely Porschefags. The traditional boomer Vett owners don't particularly care for either, but at least we aren't like the Mustang guys with the Mach E faggots. >>151124314Based and Halloween pilled.
>>151124299>The Peugeot drastically redesigned their aerodynamicsNo they didn't lmao. They just slapped a rear wing and a non-adjustable splitter on it and futzed around with the holes in the fenders.
>>151124364If they were jeets they'd be standing on the track getting hit by a car while taking a selfie
>>151124375That thing actually hypothetically still has a lot of downforce, particularly considering how light it's supposed to be. Honestly it would make more sense to have tiny fuck wings just for being able to make balance adjustments without being super ride height dependent but it's part of JR's autistic aesthetic like the shift without lift sequential gearbox being there for no defensible reason besides it being what he grew up with CART having.
At least when everything was being destroyed for housing developments it was providing something of tangible benefit to the people living in those houses, but I don't even know how I'm supposed to get over things like race tracks being destroyed (and absurd amounts of water and electricity getting succed) so somebody can build a flavor of the month AI data center which does absolutely nothing of any actual value to anyone just because the number goes up by doing it.
>>151125180First of all, while it is quite easy to over simplify changing those aero elements, the reality is that it is anything but trivial. Second, 3 seconds with the search engine of your choice would reveal:>And in order to have a better aerodynamic balance, we also had to look at redistributing the aerodynamic loads, which resulted in us redesigning approximately 90% of the bodywork components, most notably adding the rear wing.https://www.pmw-magazine.com/news/new-competition-car/peugeot-revamps-9x8-hypercar-adds-rear-wing.html#:~:text=And%20in%20order%20to%20have,notably%20adding%20the%20rear%20wing.

Another episode of TK's boomer life is outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFuGSS9LqJIHe sold the RAM and more backstory of him vs audi
>>151125964I mean yeah technically every part is different because obviously once you've modified the engine cover, the nose, the sidepod, and the splitter what the fuck is left, but technically nearly every part is different on the Toyota too between the free 2022 update and the 2023 joker changes. The 499P has probably changed like 50% of the bodywork on the car from a homologation standpoint and they've used one joker.
