IDK if you're kidding, but since you're a motor/sp/ortsman, I will entertain you.
This system, like your favorite stripper, works on "bumps." Basically every time you comment, the thread goes to the top of the board until it reaches its "bump limit" where it just keeps falling until it "slides off the board." That's when an anon will "bake (or build) a new bread (thread.)"

Looking back on it, there were only about 2 weeks, being Christmas and New Year's weekends, where we didn't have something going on. The South American series were fun before and Dakar and Chili Bowl have been fantastic and the the 24 Hour Series has been comfy since. The vrooms might slow down, but they never really stop.

Force used to do burnouts all the way to 1,000 ft, especially at Pomona.

A sad consequence of everyone playing for thousandths is the drivetrain has to be absolutely perfect every run. No throttle whacks, no long burnouts, everything gets set up like a house of aluminum cards with no room for fun.

Im 35 and never watched a race in my life. So people cheer for drivers like sports teams, so they follow stories about car makers like in Ford vs Ferrari, or what? If I were to watch the Daytona 500 or start watching F1 or something how would I get into it?
>>
>>153028934
It's up to you. Some of us like drivers. Some of us like teams. Some like certain car models. Some just like watching certain types of racing and want to see a good race. Best way to get started is just to watch racing and see what clicks for you. In NASCAR or IndyCar, maybe see if a specific car livery stands out, or if you like a certain driver in interviews. Formula 1 is kind of the same, though the team aspect is bigger since principals and other team members are shown so often, not just drivers. With sports cars, in the top prototype class people usually pick a manufacturer they like, since it's VERY team based. You can ignore LMP2 or 3 since those are all dentists. For GT cars, just pick a car make you want the most (Ferrari, Porsche, etc...) and then follow the one with the livery you like the most. Watching for a specific driver is less common in sports cars since they share the car, but some people follow drivers if they like someone who moved to sports cars from another racing series.

>never watched a race in my life
ever? no dogs chasing in the streets? you have never watched two people run in a race?

some. others like the color of the car, the sponsor, the brand of car, and the engineering first, while others think about the smiling driver second.

some. it sounds like you know more than you say

There are *so* many kinds of motor racing - the question you're asking is much like asking "How would I get into watching sports?" It's underspecified (and that's not your fault, we don't know what we don't know) - so it's difficult to give you an answer that works for *you*.

Regardless of type of racing, I'd want to add that *being at the track* is a critically helpful part of understanding why many people follow racing. Video doesn't capture the sound, the smell, the physicality. So go to a track, see what that feels like. The kind of racing you end up enjoying may not be because of how well it's televised (my old sport, NHRA drag racing, is dreadful on video) but because of how whatever is show reconnects you to your experiences at the track.

You can also watch videos of old races, see what appeals. You mentioned Daytona. The 1970-era Daytona 500's are on YT, and they are AWESOME. The auto racing of 50 years ago was in many categories far superior to the racing of today (much like many parts of global society).

Most of all, keep asking questions of people no matter where you find them. You may discover that what you like most about motor racing is the people who like motor racing.

Have fun and good luck.

I'm beginning to wonder what the point of F2 even is other than a place for F3 drivers who don't make it to F1.
Quite a few F1 drivers skipped it entirely or just competed in a couple of races before moving up.
I don't want it to be nuked into irrelevance, but it shouldn't be worth more than IndyCar. I just want things to make sense.

>>153029106
However you pick your car/driver burn that number/driver/team name into you mind and hyper focus on that. Keeping track of it on the timing and scoring pylon (usually the graphic on the left of the screen (pic related)). They will usually be covering the guys at the front so that they will be easy to track. Following your one car as it moves up and down the order will help you understand more about what's really going on besides
>Just drive faster than the other guy.
>>153030303
>*being at the track* is a critically helpful
There really is nothing like seeing it in person. If you've been to a regular sporting event you already kind of know, but a professional motor race is truly spectacle on an entirely different level. The only thing I can compare it to is an air show or a space launch. It is harder to follow in person than on TV, but the raw experience is so amazing that you probably won't notice until you're halfway in.
Bring ear plugs.
>NHRA drag racing, is dreadful on video
I disagree, at least in modern times. They do a particularly excellent job explaining every tiny little detail of what's happening on every pass. It might not be nearly as good as seeing it in person, but I'd argue that NHRA TV production is top tier. Right up there with F1 and V8 Supercars
>Most of all, keep asking questions of people
This.
Most of us ITT like everything or almost everything. As you can see, we are very eager to help newfans enjoy our series as much as we do, but understand different series have different fan bases. That's part of the reason F1 is its own thread. You might catch a little more shit for being new over there or even in a NASCAR thread, but generally, people are pretty welcoming.
I hope you come back to read all this and join us for at least a few races this year.

Pointless tbqhwy. F1 will never be popular in America. If the soap opera drive to survive couldn't hook people here then nothing will.
>>
>>153028934
Kek, ran out of space so here's part 2
I hate to admit it, but F1 is probably the easiest series to get into, even if it's not the best series for the initiated.
They have great production, there are only two cars per team, with only a few exceptions the same drivers are in the same cars all season, the teams are clearly color coded and the graphics are very clear and easy to understand and the races are fairly short.
The down side is that there is a massive emphasis on qualifying and it can often be more exciting than the actual race. Which brings me to another point, off track content.
Like any other sport, and perhaps even more , things like podcasts and analysis shows can help you to understand the finer points and reinforce what happened in the race. Of course the more popular a series is, the more of this content there will be, but be careful. We have a saying around here
>Don't listen to your favorite driver's podcast.
It will almost invariably make you dislike them.
Also, consider checking out IndyCar. It isn't as popular as F1 or NASCAR, but it has some spectacular racing. It isn't as easy to follow as F1, but it's not too hard.
Definitely join us for the Indy 500.

>>NHRA drag racing, is dreadful on video
>I disagree, at least in modern times. I'd argue that NHRA TV production is top tier
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to express. The current NHRA announcing team is excellent - they're knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and do as good as one can hope in explaining what's happening and interviewing. It greatly helps that many of them are drivers. (They're not Steve, Dave, and Bob but 1,000ft isn't 1320 either. Oh well.)

I've listened to Brian Lohnes' call of Brittany Force's 343 MPH run at Sonoma this year dozens of times. Brian is a racer, grew up drag racing with his dad, and his love and enthusiasm for what he's covering is inescapable. There are different announcers but there sure as hell aren't better announcers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hCkACnJoFM

My point was only that compared to being at the track, on the fence at 60 ft, the video experience of the full sensory experience that is "drag racing" is dreadful. It's the same as saying jacking it to 4MB phone webm's is a dreadful experience of sex (though the ability to shut it up post-nut is absolutely awesome).

This reply isn't meant to criticize your post, at all. I found your reply accurate and generous, and it was in that spirit I didn't want my hasty turn of phrase have you believe there was disagreement when it seems we're in agreement about most things vroom.

That dude has an absolutely killer YT channel on par with slapshoes or NASCARman. It's gotten even better since he started branching out into the history of other series, not that I don't enjoy the drag racing stuff.
>My point was only that compared to being at the track, on the fence at 60 ft, the video experience of the full sensory experience that is "drag racing" is dreadful.
That's fair. It's actually probably even more true for NHRA than for the sports cars we are currently watching. I am just really impressed with the depth and quality of the analysis on the NHRA broadcast. I was able to spot excessive wheel spin and dead cylinders during the pass before I understood what a hole shot victory was.
>This reply isn't meant to criticize your post, at all.

This is objectively correct, but also, whomever you "vibe with," I guess.
The AM Valkyrie is the only and possibly last non-goybred prototype spots car ever.
Plus, it's a V-12, which is also likely the last of its kind and it's NA, which is also based.
On top of all that, it's only here because it GabeN decided that GabeN Jr.'s intrest in sport car racing was based and therefore turned 6 gorillion TF2 hats into a sports car program.
I mean, I love Cadillac and I respect Porsche and Ferrari, but nobody and I mean absolutely NOBODY, has got shit on the pure, unadulterated sovl of the Valkyrie.
We are very likely witnessing the last trve, pure top tier spots car.
It is literally impossible to make an argument that they are not the heroes of this era.

I have tried this for years and simply can't care that much about a specific driver or team, I have no connection to them like I do my hometown sportsball teams. But i've come to the realization that all I really want is to watch good back and forth racing and a fight for the championship, my favorite rider/driver is the one attempting to make an overtake at this very minute, next lap it might be the complete opposite as the guy tries to take his position back.

I just wanna see some good racing.

He was absolutely going for it under tough conditions and lost it.

It sucks that it robbed us of a green flag finish, but we just saw one of the best VP Challenge races in recent memory. Especially the GT4 race.
It sucks that it got flagged, but that's part of racing.
This weekend has been unbelievably kino.
I'm equally worried and excited that next weekend will be insanely good or totally crap.

They may be all well and good for touring cars and junior open wheel series, but there has only been one top tier prototype sports car to truly get it right and it took 15 years for them to figure it out.
RIP, king.

>I don't want to put heavy jackets into my luggage.
You are literally right across the street form a Dicks and a Target. Just order whatever you want and pick it up if you need it and cancel it if you don't.
Modern consumerism is a living hell, but you might as well game it since you absolutely can not fight it.

>t. Not going, but I'll buy you a case of beer at Petit le Mans.

Can I get a Foyt Daytona? That might actually be worth $20k

Lmao dude. That shitty little mall is going to be sold out of jackets before his plane lands if the weather is shitty. I found 1 pair of gloves in the entire building. That said, the track is like 100 miles from the track, so just stop somewhere on the way.

This, but 450 non-stop miles in the best 1960s sports cars.

I'm glad to see that shit go, but the best advice I can give you is to take each race for what it is. Championships are great and all, but seeing someone have a killer day against all odds is almost more rewarding. I'm specifically thinking about Josh Berry at Vegas or Herta at Detroit last year.

That's why you pre-ordered in your size for pick up and show up if you need it and ignore it if you don't.

I thought he was only racing once, but that'd be neat. She's been really lonely since my dad died a couple years ago.

Mazda needs to get back to making rotary engines. that was their thing, the thing that differentiated them from other brands. it's like if Subaru stopped making cars with boxer engines.
