*wins*
*loses again second year in a row*
>Ken Block and Dave Mirra are both dead>Mohammed Ben Sulayem is an asshole who ruins motorsportAnything else I should know about the drivers in this game? Only one that I can remember besides them was Travis Pastrana, whom I associate more with motocross.
>>152873810>>152873986>green energy, zero emission, climate change-focused company produces soulless marketing materialsI am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

here we go
>>15287453190% chance of it being shit.
The new nascar championship format will be announced Monday at 3:30pm eastern. It'll be shown on nascar's YouTube page
>>152874531>>152874531Most likely, they will also announce a new generation of xfinity and trucks based on the cup cars
>>152874531>>152874753>>152875538If its not full season I could settle for a chase but remove "win and you're in" and point resets. Gordon was cheated out of 3 titles because of that. 3-3-4 would be the WORST option
Wasn't here for the touring car sperg out, just wanted to add that I think it's weird that Plato Racing is building a pair of 2nd gen CLAs because Daimler introduced the 3rd gen last yearLooks like they really looked at every possible option and went with whatever happened to be the ideal bodyshell for the job
>>152875762I think the teams might revolt if they took away "win and in" or threaten to use one of their vetoes to preserve it.All the 2nd tier teams like RCR, Trackhouse, and 23XII are counting on winning one race and getting the playoff bonus payout.
>check tm strms>2k viewers for soccerIs that normal? Every other time I checked for motorsport events it was on the low 2 digits. I just don't wouldn't want it to close after wac.
>>152874531Business idea: NASCAR but less gay and retarded and road tracks only (except Bristol it can stay)

>>152875886according to the official btcc article they will use the v177 a35 sedan as a base not the CLA
>>152876177So V8 supercars?
>>152877076but with fontana and michigan.
>>152874105> reee muh bad greens doing bad designits designed by keane, who is doing a shitload of rally liveries every season you retard (also the livery is cool with this metallic olive green white combo, you just have bad taste)
>>152876177Trans Am with longer races.
>>152877107Huh, I didn't know you could do donuts in a Suburban. I was sure those top-heavy bastards would keel right over if you tried it.
>>152874531>>152875538It is going to be fucking shit.
>>152874531It's rumored to be an 8-race version of the Chase.
>>152873024just realized this year will be 25 years since kyle busch died in that daytona f1 sprint race on the first lap
subaru will announce something today, but I bet its only just the facelift of the current wrx or some nostalgiafarming new model or edition
>>152879051https://x.com/SUBARU_CORP/status/2009446382126637117
>>152879596So the car they showed off last year, but with a manual?

Who would you consider to be the GOAT racer of your country? For me, Ott ofcourse
>>152873008SpongeBob RatFink
>>152882923travis pastrana
>>152881793>>152882047I really like his songs, but I don't know how we'll manage to stay sober for a weekend.
>>152883309*he'll manage
>>152873252oh yah, I enjoy to Dakar
>>152882923i dont think there is such thing as the goat racer as a concept. Rallying and sportscar racing and single seater racing all need different skills for example. You would put max in a gt he might dominate but put him in a toyota rally1 and he will have a hard time to do as well from the get goWe have some very accomplished racers in different disciplines and they need different skillsets. For rallying? Maybe Ifj TóthFor circuit racing there is of course Norbert Michelisz with his 3 TCR world titles, but in the meantime Norbi Kiss is stupidly dominating ETRC (that european championship racing semis), having won 7 titles in 11 years
>>152882923That would be my neguinho Nelson Piquet: https://youtu.be/2JYEVoybF84
Are the wienermobiles:Sportscars, touring cars or stock cars?
>>152883908rear door? hatch. maybe wagon. three doors including hatch? coupe.
>>152883908Hot rods
>>152883928im talking about car racing classes
>>152884168theyre hot rods as this guy said >>152884005micro-weiner modified tour would draw eyes
Please remember to link the previous thread. It makes searching the archives easier. >>152762670
>>152882923My question would be who do Euro's consider to be the best American driver? Most Americnas answer nascar guys but Euro's tend to have a different opinion.>>152883908Modified stock car series.
>>152874068RIPThis is probably the most difficult race in the world, so it is sunderstandable.
>>152874531I will be here to talk shit about it, whatever they announce.
>>152884321either dale or petty, one of those two(idk about indy i just love turnleft)
>>152872980>>152884315...
>>152882923For us it'd be Pedro Rodriguez. Nobody has come any close since then, maaaybe Memo Rojas, but that would be quite a stretch.
>>152874087doesn't that game have Magginen, Burns, Sainz Sr. and Gronholm?
>>152884221>micro-weinera lot of people from /a/ would feel at home
>>152884321I could be easily tricked into saying Petty or Phill Hill, but a few years ago one of the racers who had a fucklong career (maybe wurz) absolutely rightly said that even though we like to wank about nostalgia, every generation is better than the previous because for the new generation the benchmark is the best of the previous. Loeb put Sainz and the others into retirement, and Kalle is/was clearly putting Ogier's generation into the drawer
>>152879596My interest started to fall off when they stopped offering 2 door version. Simply making a 2 door WRX would blow people's minds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbyxoTZlpfA

>>152884445
>>152879596I have a 21 WRX that I would sell tomorrow if they come out with a new STI, but alas Subaru is gay and retarded. Why is it so hard for them to make a hatchback with 330hp?
>>152885617Ovals haven't been fun since like 2005 unc
https://x.com/StartAndParkCar/status/2009666133218000918
>>152885914I also have a VA in the same color, however the VB is too ugly for me so I'd probably never buy an STI of this generation anyway.
>>152885914Ayo my man, how is it with a trailer? I am in need of extra space to move more racebikes and I'm on the fence between putting a hitch on mine and buying a truck/SUV. How much does that weigh and is it the most you've pulled?
>>152882923King Kenny
>>152886220If honestly works great. Assuming yours is a manual it's rated to tow 2500 lbs I believe and I've never had a single issue. I bought the concealed hitch so you can't see it when it's not hooked up to a trailer. It's actually on of the reasons I haven't traded it in (I've been looking at ct5's and M5's) is because it's so versatile and I use it like a truck half the time. The hitch is a pain in the ass to install though so I'd recommend paying the extra money to have a shop do it like I did. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Subaru/WRX/2021/306-X7257.html?vehicleid=202160913>>152886161The new ones have great proportions but ruined by the gay fender flares. Sometimes I think Subaru sabotages themselves on purpose.
The 2026 Subaru BRZ GT300Subaru announced that its No. 61 Subaru BRZ will be powered by a three-litre twin-turbo flat six engine developed out of the EG33 unit used in the SVX coupe in the 1990s.https://www.subaru.co.jp/news-en/2026_01_09_155829/
>>152886348The Team Arai car behind he BRZ is their 2026 Super Taikyu car.
>>152885977Honestly, road tracks are pointless when there's WRC.
I like the Mazdas at Martinsville, I would like to see more cars not made for ovals racing on ovals.
>>152886491did some research and found this. it appears a smaller series called NASCAR runs at this Daytona oval near the start of each year, and also in the summer. The cars look like shit, and seems to be pack racing. Might check these out
>>152886348Looks just like the one in my bideo bames :)
It just keeps happening.
>>152884764I hate that argument for disparaging retired legends. And imo modern guys who say that use it as a cope for not being better then some of their own peers. Its true the new gen build upon the past but that doesn't mean a guy like Emerson Fittipaldi was some bum. You can only compare them to their own competition, and guys like Earnhardt or Andretti were greats and deserve to be favorably compared to any modern driver.
>>152886952I was hoping she was gone for good. Maybe she'll be after that.

>>152884764>every generation is better than the previousDUE TO EQUIPMENT. Do not get it twisted, AJ Foyt could adapt, and win today if you plucked him out of the sixties. Put Rick Mears in the DW12, and he wins multiple titles.
Equipment is more even now than it ever was.
>>152887020
>>152887081that's what I look like when I do hare scrambles with other fat old men
>>152887132Your take is past drivers wouldnt stand a chance in an even playing field? Or is it, the equipment is equal now, so driving talent will be exposed? Or, they wouldnt be able to afford the seat so it doesnt matter. >Only future equipment matters? For comparisons sake, could these new goats drive the old goats cars, and get the same results?
>>152887094the length of foyt's career and the changes he lived through during it will always be mind blowing
>>152887094>DUE TO EQUIPMENT.nope.every generation's best driver brings in something which makes him better than the previous one, be it better tyre management, driving style intricacy or something else.For the next generation that's the _base_ benchmark. Great example fitness. In the 90s the time's goats like schumacher really upped the bar in that regard compared to previous generations. For the next generations that was a minimum, and the best of a generation brings the previous best as minimum and improves on it.This is one the reason that >>152887248 -> yeah if you put the current top guys in the old cars they would smash, because the current generation is fitter, more precise and for example better at tyre management.Promoters, championships will always glaze over the past greats because that way they can milk you even more, it's pure business for themCurrently in every genre of racing there are more spec parts than ever and if you look at laptime differences it really shows that even in muh f1 cars and drivers are closer than ever and reliability and manufacturing quality deviation is lower than ever was.
>>152886348>powered by a three-litre twin-turbo flat six engine developed out of the EG33 unit used in the SVX coupe in the 1990s.wut?
>>152887959I'm convinced Subaru can't into engines and that's why they fucked up the WRX/STI line so royally
RIP
>>152887629>nopegreat way to dive into a discussion. the internets a mistake.>fitnessFitness is a habit, can be implemented easy, and during their time, working on their farm etc was the fitness. The Indy500's format hasnt change. Did those guys fall off during their races, or with modern safety would they be able to run even harder? >better tire managementThe quality of tires has changed drastically, you cant be serious to think Foyt wouldnt have learned the new tires. Again it is EQUIPMENT. THE COMPUTERS THAT TELL THEM EVERYTHING IN THE TIRE, THE TESTING, THE FACTORIES? ALL EQUIPMENT. Not a sudden jump in driver skill, if that were the case then why even have paid seats? Why isnt everyone trying to be Redbull? >Evolution Look at the eras Foyt evolved with. The old GOATs can drive in any era, while these new GOATs would struggle.>Raising the barhow many championship teams are there in F1? the bar is at an all time low. you have to hold out for a ((top seat)) on the top two teams, while the others exist with minimal chance at winning. Somethings dont change lol>if you put the current top guys in the old cars they would smashWith the same ruleset? The same expectations to drive fast? The same expectation to be fearless? False. They would be eaten up in the old era, no amount of fitness prepares them for that era, and the mental strength it takes to overcome the variables, not masked by technology, and only willed by skill & determination. >they can milk you even moreso youre in the "sniff your own farts" motorsports category, got it. sorry forgot youre a purist, and look down upon poor carriage makers. >it's pure business for thembest thing to do is build their current business by discrediting the past, and framing their ((evolution)) as groundbreaking, "pushing the envelope". thanks rabbi>more specmore business cookie cutter cars driversSwap 1972 F1 Champ with Fittipaldi with 2012 F1 Champ Vettel do you think Vettel can win a title?
>>152887629If Foyt had grown up with carting/sims etc as the new crop of modern zoomer racers he'd be just as fast as the top tier drivers

The current Indycar vehicle is overgimmicked and most drivers now or in the past can't properly drive it.
>>152888820Nice comeback euro, legitimizes your (((take))) with smugness instead of facts. You were fighting tooth and nail yesterday over coupes, sedans, and wagons, but shy away from anything that exposes your take as straight shit. Way to be safe. You wouldnt be able to drive in the old era with that mentality lol>wheres that dog today? Youre the same guy that argues hungry produces better drivers? Why dont hungarians come to the US, and take American seats, if they are that great? Same as current drivers sweeping the past field, im sure it will occur. LOL>legit conversation?Never, just some faggot smugness from you, as usual with you euros.>Differing opinions being discussedNever, it has to be what the old euro fag thinks is law or it is all (((keklmao)))
>>152888844pre hybrid it was fine. helio was able to get a top 10 in it at indy even with the weight shift.
>>1528886113 turns (based)
>>152882923People aren'tgoingto like this, but the best American racer was A.J. Foyt. Hands down. Without a doubt. Others need not apply. Hell, he's probably the best driver of all time.He had wins at the Daytona 500, the Daytona 24 hours, the le Mans 24 hours and the Indy 500 hundred. Four. Damn. Times. Those are the four most prestigious races to this very day and no one will ever do that again. Monaco can suck my ass. That's a quadruple crown.Oh, he also won the 12 hours of Sebring, and a few champ car races, too. That dude is so under appreciated, it's unreal.
>>152887094>>152887301These guys get it.Also, Foyt had the biggest block head in history, kek.
>>152889049<3 pocono
>>152888259RIP to a legend>>152889078>>152889112One of the books I want to buy this year is A.J. Foyt: Survivor, Champion, Legend (Vol 1), a 700 page biography (2nd volume coming in March, I think) written by Art Garner.
>>152889150Pic related. I know he's a legendary American driver but I don't know much about him. I also don't know of many drivers that have enough stories to fill a (possible) 1400 page biography, so it should be interesting.
>>152873008>>152882938Ed "Big Daddy" Roth is a total legend. The only hot rod artist I like more is Kenny Howard, aka Von Dutch. You can see Von Dutch styling on the 13 Motorsports (formerly AWA) Corvette. It's my favorite livery on the grid.Pic related is a decal my buddy gave me for Christmas. I have a strict no stickers rule for my cars, but I'm sorely tempted to slap it on the top of the rear glass on the Vette.Also, not the best, but:https://youtu.be/3aCfUenENhk
>>152873252Based. Thanks again. This race is so kino.

>>152888990lmaokek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yayCkMWYm0Uoh shit live kangaroo vrooms
>>152883908This is the best question I seen posted anywhere in a long time. The MR layout and closed wheels say sports car, but the one door and six seats definitely disqualify it from that. It has a separate trunk so it's not a hatch and it can't be a saloon (sedan) because it only has the one door. So, I'll have to say it's an exotic touring car. The Wenie 500 was such a success, I have no doubt we'll see it again this year. I wonder what they will do this year.
>>152884445Bro was freaking everywhere back in the day. I watch a lot of vintage races and he comes up all the time. I think if Perez retires from F1 into sports cars or something, he will be really successful, but I am not sure he will.
>>152885082>3drHa ha, no, son.
>>152876177Meh, the ovals are what makes NASCAR NASCAR. I really like the road courses, but we have enough already. I am totally pumped about the San Diego Street course.If they got rid of playoffs, stage cautions and green and white checkers, wed be doing alright.
>>152885978Holy fucking BASED!
>>152889270>bold make sure to spark more nothing conversation later when you have a protected bubble to insulate your takes. I forgot poor euros come here to LARP as superior, and don't know how to converse. >Please keep the conversation safe so you arent hurtAre you like this at your faggy hungarian bike events? the worst kind of euro
>>152886491>I would like to see more cars not made for ovals racing on ovals.Every year during the Daytona 24 hours I constantly think>What if they took out the infeild section?I don't want to change the Daytona 24, but what if we ran an IMSA race on a cookie cutter or super speedway? Even if it is just prototypes only or GT3 only. I don't know if it would be as good as MX-5 at Martinsville, but I believe it would be kino. Like a closed wheel IndyCar race or something. The only real reason I could think that they haven't or wouldn't is that ovals are basically guaranteed to wreck cars, so the teams probably wouldn't be interested.
>>152888611Finland bro, I used to be like you. I didn't get oval racing, but after watching a few IndyCar oval races I started to get it. It's a lot more subtle sometimes, but it's the same principles as road racing. They study the driver ahead, take the best line the car is set up for and use momentum and aerodynamics to try to pass. If you don't know what you're looking for or aren't paying close attention you mightnot enjoy it, but once you start to understand, you can get these incredibly intense battles that just look like two guys turning left at a glance. I can't like it for you, but I will say, it opens up a lot of racing to be enjoyed and a lot of fun times with the lads. Drag racing is another thing that seems kinda boring on the face of it, but if you just pick your guy in each pass, it can be really fun.If I have any advice for anyone, it's that it is more fun to like things than to not like them.

>>152888990I never argued we produce better drivers, just that you guys so self indulged that only a few of them has balls to try themselves and succeed internationally compared to the sheer size of the country.And also you are pretty much far into bullshit I just dont have the will to spend my time arguing over these thingsInstead of getting into a never ending argument trying to convince you about anything I spent my evening setting up gamehub on my odin and trying out various racing games, nfshp2010 for example being hundred times more fulfilling and fun than arguing with you on a mongolian kumis fermenter's forum
>>152890012yet you had the will to type a giant report in past threads on coupes/sedans/hatches, bait the weinermobile question, and talk within your insulated bubble, ALL WHILE RESPONDING. OH YEAH NO WILL THERE, stupid euro faggot, just accept your take is shit, or back it up, NOT USING EQUIPMENT. >Confronted to back up take"keklmao i habe no will buh here muh game">VIDEO GAME EQUIPMENTWhat are you playing games on?

I even agree with you on this one with the exception that the spread of driver talent was way higher back then than it is now, the top guys back then were just as good as now but anything below world class drivers blessed with god given talents the bar is way higher today than back then
>>152891882>but anything below world class drivers blessed with god given talents the bar is way higher today than back thenagreed. crazy sharing opinions we can find common ground to discuss. >i'll add and sayI think part of what has made the past greats so good is the live seat time/test/practice vs the heavy sim era not "feeling" as much. Saying that though, im not 100% sure they would benefit from the sims, the same way the current guys do. They would adapt, but losing the testing, you saw KB/JJ drop off in NASCAR, you have Dixon in Indy has commented on the change. >We are in for an interesting shiftLike you mentioned the god given talents will always shine if given the platform. We are entering an era of most of the drivers only seat time being race weekend
>>152891647I never thought I'd cheer on a guy named Skyler, yet here we are.

shame Isuzu has never entered WRC
>>152873810Cool, hope someone makes it for rbr.>>152879596Why would they come back? They're still (ex aequo with Mitsubishi) "the rally brand", even though it's been 17 years since they competed at the top.
>>152892055I think pure talent got devalued by the insane amount of data teams extract from any given driver, telemetry mostly helped slower drivers catch up to the fast guys not faster drivers getting faster
>>152893329That AMG must be an amazing car to operate. It seems that the only car that is more popular is the 911.
>>152882923Outside from rally, I think the closest we've had was Pedro Lamy. First Portuguese to score points on Fag1 and, overall, a good sportscars driver.

>>152896252how the fuck can a camera capture something like this
>>152896407>called the 24H series>race is 6 hoursmake it make sense to me
>>152896482the have a 24h race :DBut I guess the name comes from the fact that the series is originated from the Dubai 24h races
>>152889762It's a new book, released in 2024. That's probably why.>The Unfair AdvantageNot yet, but it's still in queue. That Archive reader is a pain in the arse.Also, I did finish Jim Hall's biography and I recommend it to everyone in this thread. Dude's as based as based can get.
>>152896912>>152896482Shitters league.
>>152897588how dare you say something like this in a place where ever, boring copycat gt3 series is embraced
>>152897711GT3s aren’t endurance race cars though.
>>152897346>That Archive reader is a pain in the arse. True dat. Surely there is a way to convert it to pdf or epub, but I don't know how.>did finish Jim Hall's biography and I recommend it to everyone in this thread.Duely noted.

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda’s racing alter ego known as Morizo announced earlier this week that a mid-engine two-seater will debut Friday at the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon.>its a kei truckfucking cinema kek
>>152897893You can race those, but a modern MR2 would be god tier... if they didn't NSX it up.Also, shitters.
>>152897954i actually enjoy Toyota's attitude lately, they've kinda just gone fuck it lets just try shit
>>152897711>>152897762both of you are retards
I just want to go race bros. Are there any dakar style races in the states? I do some hare scrambles and stuff but I want to do a proper race. Pic related is me on my bike
TFW you finally get around to doing some chores and get rewarded by your younger self.
>>152898256>I just want to go race bros. Are there any dakar style races in the states? The Baja 1000 and probably a million small club races. You should look into it and let us know what you find. I'm going back to treasure hunting in the garage!https://www.youtube.com/live/_1R28s0uBqM
>>152896407More like 6H of CODE60
>>152898877Yeah, this was not a good race. I mean, my expectations were low, but holy shit.
>>152898962At least these last few laps are (very slightly) making up for it.
>>152896252Kino. I didn't realize these wheels essentially have vents for sand like the grooves in your tire for water.

WTF there is a functioning food truck particpating in the Dakar Rally. As in actually racing and then serving food at camp.Ensures that other competitors help them out mid-race.
>>152900491Its this thing. Racing in the Classic class.
>>152899360The exhaust note is so disappointing even in person. I know Dr. Ulrich Baretzky says that a loud engine is a sign of wasted/uncaptured energy but the sound leaves alot to be desired.>>152899292Oooh
>>152900491>>152900503>the guy also ran back in 2009 and 2014New car for me to root for.
How much weight would taco resources require? Of course the racers would want tacos every evening and would be forced to carry me, but there is still a weight penalty.
>>152900631>"It is a unique racing vehicle that weighs a ton more than its competitors with, in the back, a real mobile frying and everything necessary to serve French fries."If it's a mobile taco truck, you're looking at an extra ton at the very least, likely more since tacos are a bit more complex than fries.
onboardfagging is still better than the brainrot many parents exposes their kids I guesshis kids will know ecery centimeter of monte when they will enter their first rally kek
>>152900607>>152900491yeah somebody had even better pics about them in the previous thread
>>152900780they should implant FIA sanctioned EMP jammers into all WRC competitors, I hate onboardfagging so much its unreal
>>152900728on the other hand, hot dogs are super simpleafter the Wiener500, Oscar needs to convert a wienermobile for offroad use with chunky tyres and higher road clearance

>>152900491This literally blew my mid yesterday. >>152877122>>152877142Seriously, this is the spirit of motorsports. I can't think of anything better than a fubsurprise for the frens.
>>152901068I am not a praying man, but please God, make this happen. We live in a Sick Sad World. We deserve this level of fun.
>>152900780>>152901052Helmet cam FTW!Seriously, seeing the wheel display and 80% of the drivers view was the best part of the FOX merger in IndyCar.
>>152901329Are you posting and appropriately tagging these images to the faggot sites? They are pretty compelling. Maybe add some stage links to entice the 22 y/o BIPOC social media intern.
>>1529016941 down 20 to go.
>>152895940funny you say that, my dad bought one after he sold his 911 and Zupra. They are pretty impressive, just wish they came with a manual option. Down pipes and exhaust with a tune and you can get a very nice bump in power.
>>152902376You can dress up a T1 car any way you want
>>152902697Oh, I meant the GT3 version, but I always respect the on the street.>>152902806>You canI'm broke, in motor/sp/orts terms, but I get your meaning.
I thought Kalle Rovanpera was doing Super Formula not Formula Regional

>>152900123fuck I'm not used to o'reilly's series yetIs xfinity still a partner? Will they still be forcing "fast as xfinity 10g internet" in every interview?
1 hour until superkino
>>152905138No, they'll come up with some thing about O'Reilly's. If there's a bet that one of the drivers fucks up and says fast as xfiniti etc I'd take that bet.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastill nearly 2 weeks till monte
>>152906909booba
>>152906837Yeah, good shit. I always appreciate when a team uses its home country flag's colors for its livery, like Alpine in 2021.With some luck we might get a nod to your pic in one of the races this year (probably suzuka, if any), thanks to the strengthened partnership between toyota and haas.

>>152896252>sand under tire grooves>?????>sand comes out from wheel vents
>>152908320physics. tires digging into the sand, spinning in a direction, sands energy needs to go someplace, goes out the wheel holes. think about about how they cover and coat stuff, when anything exposed get a fine sanding.

IndyCar bros we in here >>152721812
>>152914116>indycar splitting offsounds about right
>>152911244Oh man! That sucks.I freaking fell asleep 10 minutes in and just woke up. My sleep schedule is screwed. I hope it was a good race.
>>152915097Cant wait for /cart/ in a couple years.
>>152915097Pls no, I don't want motor/sp/ort to split up more ;_;
>>152915097>>152916158>>152916234I didn't start the thread, but I shall be posting in it as long as it lasts (but also motor/sp/ort)>t. Road America Anon
>>152916234its a fuel mileage thread this is still the motorsports HUB.
>last time we had a dedicated /indycar/ thread was 10 years ago (the season of Rossi's 500 win)fug I'm getting old
>>152916429its speeding up isnt it
>>152908320ask Method Racing Wheels
>>152916924its apparently a custom version of the 207 bead grip
>>152916234every major series splits off on race weekend bruh. The reason why indycar doesnt have its own general because the races are so much spaced apart, interest and newsflow is so low that in the regular sports season stick and ball threads would kill it quickly. The only non f1 motorsport which would be able to live on its own is turnleft bc it has races every weekend and there are constant drama and shit inbetween
>ruined Rossi's career>gifted Markek his 9th WC >dumped their Pramac team>dumped WC JorgeHow do their fans and Italians in general cope with this?
