michelin has the restaurant thing. goodyear has the blimp. unbelievable and pathetic that bridgestone is bringing absolutely nothing to the table
>>153148566You forgot Firestone which has the ultimate Chad Fire Hawk
>>153148125>>153148009Normally id be mad but at the same time i take heart knowing that he quit WEC cause it was too hard.
>>153148566but they make good tires, that's all that matters

So, does anyone know when the Dunlop Bridge at Le Mans will actually be repainted with Goodyear branding?
>>153148829What happened to the grello anyway? They were at the top of the class, i had to go afk for 20 minutes or so and when i came back they were gone.
>>153148566bridgestone had the acrobatic explorers
the madman fontana overtook a rally2 on the powerstage lmaoi really hope the next promoter will really elevate the rallytv experience, its incredible how invisible rally2 and 3 are
>>153148732kalle got his first single seater podium btw
>>153148905Their pace faded away before the last pitstop, ended up in 5thBut I don't know what went wrongImho Daytona is one of those races, like Le Mans, where if he BoP isn't on your side you're just nowhere for that event and maybe that's what happened to Manthey here. Managed to keep up for most of the race but no extra pace in reserve for the final dash
>>153149055Sounds about right, the Porsche GT car was nowhere all week.
>>153145068>Realised that watching Daytona on my own was no way to enjoy it properly.The real victory is the frens we made along the way.
I'm sorry if you guys hate me, but I love you all the same. It's the same IRL, so I don't mind so much.
The first half of this year's Rolex 24 wasn't as good as last year's one, and that fog ruined the first half of the race, but that ending was KINO racing. Unfortunately, Valkyrie's performance was pretty awful, I don't know if it evolved a bit from last year, but since it's their first race at Daytona, I think there might be some hope for the rest of the season.Also, you guys are really great, I'm really excited for the next sportscars and /turnleft/ events this year. Long live motor/sp/ort!>>153149620I don't know who are you because we are in an anonymous imageboard, but you might be a good person just for being here.
I watched the last 2 hours of gaytona with my uncle and he throw out of nowhere that one of the drivers trio should be a woman, mandatory for all teams

>>153161280My boy Ricky Stenhouse.
>>153157225just like how IMSA gives everything to Porsche because they couldn't win a le mans then
NLS is moving one of its races just to let Verslurppen do the n24
>>153168002Yeah. Toto and Mercedes are courting him for a seat with them.
>>153168081a red bull liveried mercedes with max in it would be a funny sight, also I thought that it was mandatory for drivers to do an NLS race before the n24 but apparently it was Verslurppen who wanted to do a round if he were to compete at the n24
>>153168182It already exists. Max driving in NLS9 last year attracted a lot of attention, so there's some money to be made when he races again. This change suck for the drivers that will have a schedule clash with the 12h of Sebring.
>>153168182Winward Racing already liveried their AMG GT3 Evo.
Me watching this Nurburgring video againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x39IUTX9AgYeah, I'm buying the plane tickets now.

>>153168716Not only we own Orlando, we now own Daytona Beach as well kek
I believe a lot of Porsches' success in IMSA has been due to experience and efficiency. They have been working with this car since the inception of the rules set and they displayed typical Penske precision in the pits and on the box. This weekend, they were coordinating the order of the cars on track so that they would be in the order of their pit boxes while other teams were nearly getting into collisions or missing their pit boxed. There is every reason to believe that efficiency is carried over in the engineering department, lending the cars a bit better speed. Looking at their BoP they were very middle of the road in everything, with the BMW being BoPed quite similarly. Meanwhile, Ferrari spaghetti everywhere and still win le Mans, with the B team last year no less.Second and third at Daytona '26 were taken by teams who also have been consistently working with the same car since day 1. The 31 Whelen Cadillac and the 24 WRT BMW. The 31 may well have won, but they just could not stop tripping over their own dick, which was mostly on the drivers. A big shout out to WRT BMW for jumping right in to IMSA and catching a podium and with a new evo package, no less. I think if they can cut out the unforced error *cough* Whelen *cough* Shanks, that RLL was making, they will be real contenders in IMSA this year. I remember JDC leading some laps, but I didn't notice what caused them to fall off. Can anyone tell me?I am, however, extremely doubtful that we will ever see an LMDh win le Mans. I'd love to be wrong about that.>>153169020https://www.imsa.com/news/2023/06/25/no-25-bmw-wins-sahlens-six-hours-of-the-glen-after-no-6-porsche-penalized-in-postrace-inspection/I'm sick of seeing them win, too, bro.
>>153169838>>153169020Only 6 failed, 7 was the winner.
>>153169838yeah pulling 20 seconds ahead after every fcy while licoing like crazy is only down to pit efficiency and execution
>>153169064Oh yes, thanks. I did see that, but I'm only just now catching up on the threads.It's really refreshing to see someone talking about what they like about something instead of what they don't like. I agree with you on the things that make NASCAR exciting and fun to watch.>It's super exciting to see 40 cars driving in a pack knowing that it can all go to hell at any minute if one of the drivers screws up. I like that you can't predict who will winAnd I totally agree that Chastain finishing while facing the wrong direction was pretty epic. Some other things that really stood out were Zane Smith's accidental wall ride and Denny screwing himself AND Bubba to allow Chase to swoop in and make the playoffs. I, too, started watching NASCAR because I was hungry for more vrooms after watching sports cars and the anons on the /turnleft/ threads made it reallyfun. >What would be great if there's a place where I can watch full replays of Xfinity and TruggsGreat news! NASCAR uploads races within a few days of them running. Typically the very next day.IDK if they are geoblocked in Germany, but that should be pretty easy to get around. Here is the Bristol night race from last fall.https://www.youtube.com/live/fDh0hIyaqZY
>>153169203>And Snake Plisken is the Now honorary Pace Car Driver for the Daytona 500 Bad ass!
>>153169479I really have no idea why people hate it so much.
>>153169124Based, high quality sports car posts are back!!!!
>>153170082>Great news! NASCAR uploads races within a few days of them running. Typically the very next day.Oh damn, I saw that they were posting full races, but I thought they were only uploading historical races for the most part.>It's really refreshing to see someone talking about what they like about something instead of what they don't like.Yeah, in general 4chan really is a great place to find out why your favorite hobby/videogame/TV show actually sucks ass haha
>>153169851>Only 6 failed, 7 was the winner.I'm pretty sure that was a split strategy. >>153169914>>153169838>There is every reason to believe that efficiency is carried over in the engineering department, lending the cars a bit better speed.

>>153169914> pulling 20 seconds ahead after every fcy Red Bull from 2022-2024
>>153169851>>153169838I really do wonder if the 31 could've gotten the win if they didn't get 10 drive through penalties at the start of the race, that car was really quick as well. What does annoy me is the 6 getting 4th even after pitting 100 times. I know the 6 hour fog caution was what helped them do that but it was kinda annoying even after all that they were still at the front.
>Bowman Gray stadium right now
>>153170365Somebody needs to get a Zamboni in there.
>>153170333Unfortunately, a lot of that, and the reason the 31 managed to finish second, is because there are only 11 cars in class. It's not quite as bad as the days of 4 or 5 top prototypes in WEC or 7 full season entries in IMSA, but the class separation and unlapping really negates the disadvantages of making extra stops or getting penalties. It's way worse for the GTD guys since there were 21 cars in that class. It's a shame more teams and manufacturers don't want to run IMSA. They aren't doing themselves any favors by not allowing small manufacturers like Glickenhaus and Vanwall or brands without a domestic presence run.I'd really like to see what Aston Martin could do here if they had a two car effort.
>>153170365Get the tire studs, Beavis.
Hey, Florida Man. I finally found that white Bronco pic.
>>153169914> pulling 20 seconds aheadSo did Wittman in the BMW and the 93 Acura
>>153169838>>153170849And Aitken
>>153169851They apparently couldnt properly fix the damaged underfloor of the #6. The announcers mentioned briefly either they are nursing an issue or a part fell off in the stint with the last driver
>>153170849when did that happen? they got in front after not taking tyres and underfueling near the end but the porsches cut through them easily>>153170149>that efficiency is carried over in the engineering department, lending the cars a bit better speed.that's cool but it's supposed to be a bop formula with performance parity so that part should be irrelevant to an extent, at least not as obvious as it was during the race
>>153170365They have the track cleared for now but it's going to be brutal this weekend with more snow coming. 16° and 15mph winds at race time kek. Will be the coldest NASCAR race ever if it happens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMU5wMxTueg>THE RACE IS ON! 15 aspiring race car drivers from around the country travel to North Carolina to compete in a groundbreaking new competition. They’ll live together, face off in challenges on and off the track and the driver with the most points at the end of the season will win a coveted 'seat' driving the RAM truck for Kaulig Racing in the 2026 NASCAR Truck Series. We kick things off at Ace Speedway with the drivers battling it out for the first time in legend cars!
>>153169203What grinds my gears is that they did a sudden schedule shift and there are no road courses in the Chase. I get the Old Boys Club hates having to turn right. Allow me to offer something then, get a road course layout and cover it with dirt and call it the Bootlegger Special or something like that as a one off.
>>153172131>They’ll live togetherGAY
>>153172415scrapping the roval opens the door to having watkins glen back again in the chase like in 2024
>>153172415>I get the Old Boys Club hates having to turn right.I always thought this was nonsense cause Riverside was the final race of the year for most of the 80's and its not like nascar had to fold because of it. In fact, didn't a lot of the drivers like the track cause of the challenge?
>>153172415it is mostly because the Roval wasnt made for NASCAR since humpy wasnt given specifications for what the fuck they were planning with the next gen, it fits better Indycar, IMSA, Trans-Am or even F1>>153172499Exactly, also it opens a green sonoma date
>>153172434Still less gay than DTS.Also, if you can't think of being exclusively in the company of men without having gay thoughs, that's a (you) problem.
>>153172415>get a road course layout and cover it with dirtBased. They have that one natural terrain dirt road course in Brazil. I still think about that pretty frequently. But yeah, there needs to be exactly one road course in the chase. Alternatively, they could just do a normal points system. >>153172679>80's>didn't a lot of the drivers like the track cause of the challenge?That was when drivers were men, anon. Now we have to have stages because they get too tired if they have to race for too long.

>>153172415their obsession with turning left is such a commie thing, mccarthy would deport them in a whim
could Genesis be competitive?
>>153172131Alright. I just finished watching that and it was decent. I wish they didn't cut the races so much and spent more time on the racing and less time in the other stuff, but I guess they had to introduce the concept and all the drivers, so hopefully the future shows will have more racing. I really like the cars and the track. I also appreciate how they don't bleep out the swearing.
>>153173150In IMSA, maybe. WEC is too geared towards LMH cars. Who knows, they do have deep pockets, after all.
Charlotte road course bros…if what I’m hearing is true…
>>153173313SVGbros…
>>153173313Roval sucks anyway, that bus stop is way too small
>>153173449I think the fact that it's so shitty is what makes it great, if that makes sense.
>>153173491I prefered the old road course where the pit exit would land you right at the people doing turn 1 at high speed
>>153172679there are people itt who think road courses are unamerican
>>153173313I love Charlotte oval and roval. Get rid of a shit track like new Hampshire or Nashville and run Charlotte 3 times a year
>>153171358Could be fun from an engineering perspective, desu. It'll be a test for the cars' performance unlike any we've seen before. Now, whether that produces good racing remains to be seen.

>>153173028Based
>>153173852roval it's a shit track, it's narrow, has no flow, it's been 7 years and they're still fucking around with the layout trying and failing to improve it, the only memorable stuff that has happened is either crashes or fabricated playoff drama, if you want another road course they have road america, road atlanta, mid ohio, portland, daytona if you want another roval, hell since they're on a streak of good decisions they could finally go to montreal or mosport, point is disliking the roval has nothing to do with hating road courses
>>153174134>Las Vegas Roval https://youtu.be/Wz7VzLh6No4It would be cool to see IMSA go back there, too.

Good evening lads.I forgot to post in the appropriate thread after the race was over, I was kinda busy packing up and trying not to pass out from exhaustion.Anyway we eventually lost the only thing we could realistically achieve, which was to remain in the lead lap. We actually managed to do that for most of the race, but a series uf unlucky circumstances, less-than-stellar pit stops and a general lack of pace resulted in finishing a race 1 lap behind the leader.Definitely not my best 24h race, but at least we finished, which is more than what a dozen other competitors can say so at least there's that.I'm sure the 6hr caution was a snoozefest for you guys, but for us it was a godsend. You can't imagine how even a 30min nap and some "rest" without the pressure of the race can make a difference to us, especially after the race is over when a lot of the adrenaline wears off but you still have several hours of work ahead.Honestly they should have gone for a red flag, I didn't really understand the point of going around behind a SC that long. Race control radio said it pretty much from the start that it would have been a very long one, and every single weather forecast predicted a minimum of 3-4hrs of thick fog from when the caution period began.Anyway I hope you guys liked the show despite the interruption. I'm a bit disappointment because I was expecting more LMP2 moments, but hey you can't have it all can you.I'm going to post a few random pictures from the end of the race in no particular order and with absolutely no artistic value to them. See you boys in Sebring.
so is the ram reality show worth watching?
>>153175152Thank you Italy Bro!>>153175206lol is that David Land?
>>153175152Sorry y'all had a shitty weekend, but thanks for the updates anyway, anon.
>>153174972The episode I am most looking forward to is whenever they put late models on the track at VIR.
>>153175264Yeah, I'd say it's entertaining enough for me to keep watching.
>>153175152It was a good time aside from 6 hours in the grandstands freezing in the fog.The LMP2 moments were just all condensed into the turn 1 lap 1 mess.
>>153175152How hard is it to sleep with the sound of the cars vrooming around? Or is it more of something that becomes white noise after a while. Ive only ever been to short tracks so i have no idea how well the sound carries at a place like Daytona.
>>153175644Not him, but I could've totally slept in the grandstands if I was comfortable. The sound of the cars is super comfy and not a big deal with my headphones on. The track PA, however, was loud as fuck and a nuisance.
>dumbass go kart episodeThe fuck was the point of that?
>>153174042dude, you had like 40 of us worried about you being dead. you and turkbro are staples here.
>>153175152the magnus racing guys were reading the cat in the hat over the radio, did you guys do something like that?>I'm sure the 6hr caution was a snoozefest for you guysyeah, literallty, i went to sleep 15 minutes before the yellow and woke up to another hour of it lol>Honestly they should have gone for a red flagyeah it's like what happen at le mans, maybe they didn't want to leave the cars in the cold for 6+ hours and potentially cause issues on the restart? anyways see you at a hopefully hotter sebring
>>153175152Thanks for ppsting
Finally watched Ford vs. Ferrari, not sure how accurate it is but I thought it was great, what did you guys think of it?
>>153176156Thought it was fine.But Rush was the better (recent) racing film imo.
>>153176204I'll check it out for sure
>>153176251It had a fun scene about Italians
>Schumacher
>>153175038it was lmdh from the get go> t. hyundaifag
>>153174319Why is that funny? I like TC.
>>153174507Oh, yeah. It looks like they built a big concrete wall there. Lame. It maybe wasn't the best track, I just have fond memories from ALMS. Still, it would have been neat to see it run again.
>>153175774It's the only way to find out if you're ready for the Truggs.
>>153175152>>153175159>>153175172>>153175188>>153175206>>153175214Thanks, for posting!I'm sorry you didn't get the result you wanted but, as you know, just having a running car at the end of 24 hours is a victory. I assume they didn't red flag the race for the same reason they don't red flag le Mans. That is to just run the cars for 24 hours no matter what. Honestly, it came at a good time for me to take a little nap, so I wasn't toooooo disappointed. I did notice we didn't get the usual posts of the crowd and pit crews napping ITT, but overall, I had a really good time. Thanks in no small part to you and everyone watching along and posting.
>>153175264It's pretty good. It has some reality TV BS, but the racing makes up for it. My biggest complaint is that they cut the racing scene to omit laps where nothing really happens. I know this to condence the races and make it more exciting for casuals, but as some one who watches races regularly, it was a little annoying. TL;DR it's a 7/10
>>153175274>lol is that David Land?It sure looks like it. He also looks like he's getting healthier, so good for him.
>>153175644Daytona pitlane is a lot louder than other 24h I've done (Spa and LM), mainly because there are no buildings to shield you from the noise.However I think the main problem is the lack of space, not so much the engine noise.At other circuits you have plenty of room behind the garages and you always have the option of laying down in the dark of your trailer, but you can't do that in Daytona. The pit stalls are tiny and the road immediately behind the pitlane is busy all the time with carts ferrying food, tires and the occasional crew running to the garages. If you want to find a more secluded area to sleep you have to walk all the way around a fence, which becomes a problem if you gotta run back for an unexpected pit stop. So in the end you are forced to sleep in a cramped space, in uncomfortable positions, with direct line of sight (and sound) of the pitlane and speedway and blasted by a million suns worth of floodlights. I've had way better naps elsewhere that's for sure.>>153175946Nah, just some radio banter here and there but for the most part the radio was kept for important comms and we didn't do anything special to keep us entertained. Doesn't help that our crew radio was also receiving on the spotter's channel and boy oh boy do they have to talk all the damn time.As for the red flag issues, cars can handle being left in the wet or cold for a few hours. Usually teams are allowed to warm up the engine if the stop is long, but it wasn't that cold nor that wet to have caused any issues anyway. I don't know if the officials were afraid of potential issues with minimum race distance or driving times or things like that or they just don't want to use red flags unless it's absolutely inevitable, I guess we'll find out at some point. I still think it was dumb as hell to keep drivers driving like that for 6hrs.Anyway I can't quote everyone because 4chin thinks my post is spam, but thank to all you bros out there, let's hope for a better LM24 at least
>>153178194I would guess the oval with the banked turns and was and grandstands around makes the thing like a bowl and all the sounds reflect back from the outer portions into the bottom of the bowl which is the pitlane-paddock. At spa or lm also the big forests are shielding the noise i guess
it was the best looking monte in nearly a decade

>>153178295>as you can see, this car has nothing in common with the cars you see on the road>but we like to pretend that they're the same, so we can imagine ourselves to be as badass as the first racers
>>153176156>>153178627All I remember about that movie is that if IRL Carroll Shelby was half as cool as Matt Damon Carroll Shelby, then he's turbo-based and a shining example of the quintessential American.
why didnt you guys tell me there is a sportscar racer cindy from texas.is this linsday brewer talented or just hot?
>>153179282Brewer is absolute fucking garbage and has no business being near any kind of motor vehicle
>>153175152Thanks for keeping us informed, even that your race didn't turn out as well as you wanted. And thanks for the pictures, love to see a bit more what's inside, than what you usually. So have a good rest once it comes and ganbare for the next time italy-bro

https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/more-than-10-tuners-show-interest-in-wrc-2027-rules/10792925/> The tuner side is completely new for FIA rally to have a tuner homologate a car and it is a massive success. We have a lot of contacts, more than 10. I don’t say that all 10 will finalise the project but they are working out how to do that> It is impossible to say [how many tuners will enter in 2027]. Honestly, not 10, that would be a big surprise. It is an ambitious project because when you take the decision to homologate the car, you need also to produce a minimum of 10 over two years and the car for all the people that want to buy the car. That is a massive challenge for them> The recent confirmation of Project Rally One has provided a blueprint for others currently weighing up a decision to enter. The FIA expects another tuner will be confirmed soon.on the new promoter:> the FIA says it expects to announce the WRC's (sic!) new owner within the next two monthsOn WRC Rally USA> the FIA has confirmed that a candidate event will be held in 11-17 June in preparation for the event to feature in next year’s calendar.> proposed event promoter and organiser, Podium Event Partners, which has long-established experience across multiple motor sport disciplines, including NASCAR.> Great Britain, Ireland, Indonesia, China, Australia and New Zealand are either working on bids or considering hosting events in the future.
>>153180238i hope we will have a disgusting mansory entry based on the fabia
>Dirtfish pretty much went full paywallIm worried how much ill really be able to follow WRC cause of this, its hard for me to follow live due to the time differences and the official WRC channel will always suck at covering their own races.>>153178194>However I think the main problem is the lack of space,Its interesting how a lot of tracks here dont have that permanent infrastructure for the pit/garage areas but it seems to be a much more common thing in Europe.>>153180148What a weird font for the numbers.

>>153180148Congratulations.
>>153180238>tuner homologate a carThat's pretty neat. I don't think they would have too much trouble selling 10 cars. Surely there are 10 rich dudes or buisness that will want them. > the FIA has confirmed that a candidate event will be held in 11-17 JuneWhere? I don't really follow rally, but last time I heard, it was going to be outside Chattanooga and that's a fairly reasonable drive for me.
>>153180670Well, that's pretty neat.>>153180761Even if it isn't exactly cheaper, they are available, which may not be the case with other cars. There is definitely a case of Porsche spam, but I wouldn't be surprised if people are buying them as investments and are shy about racing them.
