No one needs to follow your motorsports posting rules, and you coming here to gatekeep motorosports is pathetic. How many soccer threads are on /sp/?

>>153959720
I hope there is no dip in the Long Beach event. Losing the old timers at all sorts of tracks/events is sad and I hope those that follow keep the same spirit and don’t sell out.
>>
>>153962686
well Penske Entertainment bought the Long Beach GP so I think we're safe
>>
>>153963075
Penske does like tradition. You’re right we are safe. With them controlling Detroit as well I read into the IMSA schedule a bit, and I’m probably wrong. But I think we are getting another race after the 500, and before Detroit next year
>IMSA Long Beach April 16-17 2027
>IMSA Detroit June 4-5 2027
Maybe they bring back Michigan or run a Milwaukee or Chicagoland
>>
>>153963263
it's just a good idea for IndyCar to own more tracks or street races than just IMS. Roger should buy back Michigan.
>>
>>153963302
Would Nascar/SMI sell it? I believe there's no real reason why Michigan can't support 2 races. So if Chevy wants Detroit, let them have it but also MIS.

The series needs more races, I get why there isn't that many right now, but that's slowly changing.
>>
>>153966796
>>153963302
I think the only way to race at Michigan again is to do a double header with nascar. I'd buy tickets immediately but let's be honest, the superspeedway package sucks right now with the hybrid. We can hope for a better setup in 2028
>>
>>153966796
I could see them buying into the track, but doubt NASCAR gives up a property completely. More races are coming I’ve got hope they don’t fuck this up lol. I’d find a way to add Kentucky, Homestead, and Watkins Glen
>>
>>153963302
How much would it cost
>>
>>153970745
Idk man, last year was my first 500 and it was still pretty wild. I have high hopes for '28 but beyond that we need new iterations every few years or move to multiple suppliers
>>
>>153971843
>new iterations
I wish that were an option with the current owners, but the floating cost year to year would be hard for the smaller teams to keep up. To get to that teams like DCR would have to fold, and I don’t want that no matter how good/bad this next car is. If they simplified the rules to have the car powered by X engine size, and to be around the same size teams could “build” their own cars. That all would go against Honda/Chevy though and could never happen. It must have a faggy hybrid. It must be cost effective but also expensive. lol Indycar problems
>high hopes for ‘28
Me too. This car has to be right from the start, no hiccups.

So, Kyffin gains 3 positions while taking out Grosjean and Siegel, and his punishment is losing 1 while still ending in front of them?

I understand the hybrid has fucked with the balance, but there is no excuse for any Rahal car to come off the truck a second behind the field. Do these teams not share info, or only use shit info? Where’s the urgency to fucking win for Graham, this track and IMS are both strong tracks for him

Road America Anon here. or one of them, at least. hey remember a few weeks ago when I said about no cameras allowed at Arlington:
>what are they gonna do? take away everyone's phone?
well I just had that happen to me at a concert. they made my put my phone in a bag with a lock that only the security personnel could open on the way out. you get to keep it, wear it on a lanyard. but you can't look at it until the show is over and they unlock it. like a dog on a leash. dystopian. I never want to do that again. FUCK that pissed me off. and the concert wasn't even that good. he didn't play the hit songs...
>>
and speaking of Road America, I thought I was gonna have to miss it this year due to financial reasons. but Dad wants to go, so I hope I didn't miss out on the early ticket pricing? checking it out right now.
>he can't into computers so it's up to me to secure the tickets

>multiple classes too confusing

>>154028121
>they made my put my phone in a bag
An oooooooold trick for incredibly nasty people is to put a razor blade between the heel of your boot and the midsole. Since you probably dont wear boots with a separate heel and you would only want to cut open a bag, a tiny craft knife blade would work taped up under the tongue of your shoe.
I know it's a bit psycho, but when I see stuff like this, my mind immediately goes to how to defeat it.

That dude can hardly sing these days
>>
>>154028863
yeah the acoustic guitar was mixed too loud first half of the concert. eventually the sound man changed it but then Bob's piano was too loud. he was seated at the piano the whole time wearing a hoodie. sometimes he would kind of halfway stand up. eventually he pulled out the harmonica which got the most cheers. but he's 84 years old and not interested in playing anything other than his latest songs. 6/10.

Security is there to strip the innocent and elevate the evil. Who is starting shit at concerts? Shitbags. Who slips weapons in no matter the “rules”? Shitbags. Concert environments where I can’t have a direct blade I always try to have an object I can turn into a weapon. I don’t fight but I’m not going to a concert to be fucked with either. I do appreciate Indycar being in the day mostly to keep that nighttime energy away from the track

I can't blame them for it, the way I see it, they've been investing into the facility for a better fan experience. Price increase suck, but worst case scenario just buy race day only tickets, if it ever gets to that point. I'm glad you're making it work, though.

GA tickets include all of that at RA, and I don't see that changing. Charging for parking was a major sticking point for Nascar, and they didn't try to hard to get them back.

yeah but I miss when there were more support races other than open wheel stuff. you used to have World Challenge (before SRO took over and renamed it GTWC America), and/or Trans-Am, and/or Mazda MX-5 Cup. now those are on other race weekends and the IndyCar weekend is just Road to Indy, Vintage Indy, and Radical Cup.

But seriously, they recently used an evo on the Penske 963s, but not the JDC car.
https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/porsche-takes-fourth-evo-joker-for-963-with-aero-update/
It's absolutely insane to think that last year we had something like 7 or 8 Porsche 963s in competition with 4 factory cars a few years ago to only 3 only in North America and not a single one at le Mans. It's weird more manufacturers don't sell more customer cars.
>>

>>154031928
The only Penske driver I really want to win is Scotty. Joseph has won enough times and I'm failing to bond with lil Davey and I don't know why.
Of course, I want Grosjean to win because that would be the most epic meme victory in the history of racing or Pato, because I think he has the talent and is a pretty cool dude. On the other hand, I don't want Zach Brown to """"win""" a 500.

I haven't read the contract, you haven't read the contract, Marshall Pruett hasn't read the contract, and influencers on X and Instagram sure as hell haven't read the contract.

There are always out clauses in these contracts, the only thing they probably need is funding from the 500 sponsorship.

Funny thing, I put Conor's Battlefield 6 livestream from earlier in the week on. While he stated there and during Speed Street that he had no reason to go to Barber, someone asked him if he was going to Milwaukee.

3/4 or more of the laps raced since the hybrid has led to snoozers. They can’t kill the track because it has raced well in the past. how do you fix it?add a second hybrid!

Well it adds weight and regenerates!

No no no you have to charge it and use it

NO NO NO NO push to pass is different and runs out. The hybrid last forever!

Nooooooo! WE KEPT BOTH, and when deployed give drivers many more horse power! It’ll be a chess match of energy!
>so it’ll be a strategy race instead of car race?!
NO NO NO RACING has alwayyyyyyys had strategy you’re just being negative! The hybrid will provide more energy to race!
>>
Sadly the only must-see races these days are the short ovals. I even have doubts about the 500 after last year
>>
>>154054789
I’m optimistic about the remaining races, even in Palau wins them all. I still think we have a solid chance at a different championship leader come August.
>the 500
Helio/RHR/Sato/EC mixed in the field for the 500 make things interesting as usually being tough on the track. Ericsson, Rosenqvist, Rasmussen are in play at the 500. Ferrucci has an average finish of something around 7-8 so he could snap off a win. Barber should be a 200 lap race lol

They need a 500 win to shift things. For RHR and TK to see those cars run so meh it has to be frustrating.

They’ve got decent pace. They also need a 500 win to shift things

>>
>>154067558
On paper, we have this year and next locked for Palau unless shown otherwise. In 2028 they “should” get a new car that could “level” the field. Will it? No idea until we see how fucked/great the car is.
>Smaller Teams
To add onto your point, what will be done to incentivize a team like Coyne or Foyt to “try” in the new era? It seems like they are working towards pricing out the small teams so it’s a Penske/CGR/Arrow/Andretti/HRC field overseeing all cars.

I’d still put Penske and Arrow cars ahead of MSR ones. Malukas/Newgarden/McLaughlin/Oward are all 40-60 points back from leading the championship. I know I’ll sound crazy but I believe we will have a fight going into August

Were four races deep with the next four being a good mix. I think there’s a chance Palou only wins one of the races, but could win all four lol. Lunge Guard did mention they were trying weird set ups early to work things out to confident later, maybe that’s the top Arrow car the rest of the year.

The course is designed for bikes and I don't think there's much they could do to make the racing better for Indy Car at least. I think it should be scheduled at the end of April personally. Also, if you've never been there it is worth the pilgrimage. It is truly the coolest motoring place I've ever been to. I've been probably about ~20 times times over the years for various events. Mostly on bikes though.

>We’d done a boat-load of testing, too… like if Honda wanted to run two engines for 600 miles, we’d do it. We’d go to Fontana [California Speedway] and spend several days there. Actually, I remember Jimmy really impressing Honda one time at Fontana, when he came in and said, “The engine’s about to blow,” and the engineers said, “No, there’s nothing on our data that suggests that.” Jimmy insisted, “I guarantee you, the engine’s about to let go,” so we took the time to put a new motor in his car in the middle of the day. Anyway, Honda took the engine back and pulled it apart and sure enough, it had been about to let go. A manufacturer normally doesn’t get to see their engine at that point, 30 seconds before it’s about to blow: they just see the end result, so they were impressed with that and I’m sure whatever they found probably helped them for the next engine development.

Legge needs to be as far away from Andretti as possible. I’m not saying the guys listed above are race winners but they have the skill set to finish the race. How much money has Andretti blown on Powers car so far? Make the Ai money work and pay for a driver to field a fourth car that’s a 200 mph billboard. Too hard to fund? Call Michael Jordan for a quick check and wrap in Jordan Brand.

Because Legge is total shit and the others are serviceable. Wilson is mentioned because he is willing to pay. Lundqvist needs a friend like Ericssons to pay for a full time ride next year lol

I want the IndyCar videya game so bad
>>
>>154214860
But should it be an arcadey racing game, a simulator, or a management game like Motorsport Manager?

I don't ask because I want an actual answer, I ask so we may dream for but a moment.
>>
>>154215512
the best way would be to have options to turn on or off driver assists. for example, I'm not a sim nerd, I play most racing videya on controller with traction control/stability control off, but ABS on and automatic transmission.
then there's stuff like race length, only the real IndyCar sickos are gonna want to do a full 200 lap Indy 500. easy mode could be like 20 laps.
there should be options to appeal to a wide variety of players. if the sim nerds don't like it they can just go play iRacing. this game is not meant for them.
>>
>>154215574
Fully realistic Indy races would be kino, like sure it'd be long as hell but you'd be managing pit stops n sheit
>>
>>154215574
>>154215603
also option to enable/disable pit stops, car damage, tire wear, etc
you should be able to customize your difficulty like in Gran Turismo or Forza
a full-on sim game would be pointless, that's what iRacing is for
>>
>>154215612
It's not my genre so I might be badly informed, but I thought Assetto Corsa was the industry standard for sim racers
>>
>>154215617
I mean, iRacing was the one IndyCar, NASCAR, etc. used to put on races with real drivers when everything was shut down during COVID
>>
>>154215512
>management
not really my thing (I wanna drive) but it could be kind of like a cross between the B-Spec mode in Gran Turismo 4 (you tell the CPU when to push, when to slow down, when to pit, etc.) and the Season mode in EA's NHL/other sports games (you can choose to simulate the result of a game or games in the season, or in this case, race)
but unlike the EA sports games you don't have a roster of 30 players to do trades with, just 2-3 drivers. I suppose you could hire/fire pit crew, engineers, etc. but any management mode they should work on after they get the driving physics right.
>>
>>154215633
kek seriously? How'd that go?
>>
furthermore, they should focus on getting the current Indy car + IndyNXT car in the game first. when the new Indy car comes, that should be a free update.
after that, it would be cool to have an update with older Indy cars if they could get the license. like 90's Lolas and Reynards. but focus on the current chassis/upcoming chassis first.
>>
>>154215662
it was ok, but some of the drivers took it more seriously than others. you had some guys making moves in the sim that would be near-suicide in real life.
>also Kyle Larson said the N word
>>
>>154215663
Realistically I don't ever see this happening, not outside the mobile games hell.
Today's videogames just cost way too much money and time to make
>>
>>154215699
all they would have to do is get permission to scan a 90's Reynard and/or Lola and make the engine sound like a V8T from CART.
you don't need to get permission from the engine manufacturers (that aren't in IndyCar anymore) just for a sound. it's not like games with sports cars where you need, say, Ferrari's permission to put the F40 in the game.
>>
if you wanted to have historical liveries for the 90's Indy cars, yeah that would be a licensing issue. but if you get Reynard/Lola permission, you can have the cars themselves and a generic V8T engine sound.
>>
and if there's a livery editor, some player will make the Marlboro/Kool/etc livery anyway. they probably can't officially put those in the game.
>>
>>154215712
Ah wait I may have misquoted, I think I meant that a dedicated Indy game isn't happening, my bad

I don't expect it to be much better than Nascar 25 to be honest, and I really don't like that game.
The ideal would be iRacing to go full Papyrus on it (hey, the lineage is there), but they've already made it quite clear it's not going to happen.
I wouldn't mind something like the latest Codemaster F1 game in terms of simulation, scalability and immersion.
But again, after Nascar 25, I can't see iRacing investing that much on the Indycar title.

>>
>>154215839

>>154215854
You can’t
>New chassis
I’d be alright with an updated DW12 without the hybrid, more horsepower, and still an added on windscreen (to keep cost down?). We know that won’t happen, so it’ll be a “fancy” tub with the windscreen built in, that will make things much more expensive, for a grid that’s already struggling with the current cost of the 15 year old edition. On top of that the owners will select the cheapest, least engaging hybrid unit, to say they have a hybrid, and appease the faggot manufacturers, all while the faggy hybrid does fuck up. Hey good news though, they’ll probably leave random spots for more gadgets, double and triple hybrids to price teams out further whenever the newest car needs an “upgrade”.
>Summary
Shits fucked. Owners are fucked. Indycar fucks. lol
>>
That would be why Doug Boles needs an email. Why is it so fucking complicated to have straight forward communication?
>we know owners like money
>we know the car costs money
>we know the manufacturers prop the sport up
Is it really that hard to go to the faggots at Honda, and say “hey you dumb fucks lost money for the first time in 75 years for a shitty hybrid system. Can we fucking go racing? And separate these things. Look at F1, is that what you want?
>Fuck Honda
I love Honda, but if they can’t get that, fuck them. Go to spec supplier, and attach someone willing to put up an engine, for a racing series, and stop playing into the fucking bullshit no one can afford.
>who is buying new hybrid cars every fucking year?
again no clear communication, all with faggots in suits pushing globohomojewagenda for fucking what? If that’s the goal for Indycar then I’d love to hear them say it, if it isn’t, then maybe they should use FOX and flex their shit.
>hybrid
Supposed to save and all it does is kill.
>>
I will figure out the names I need to shout to get ears, and will raise some hell race weekend. I’m tired of this faggot hybrid shit being silently accepted while the majority isn’t rocking with it. Could you imagine this current field with the pre hybrid car. They killed the product.
>indy car is thriving
>>
>>154215781
if they were really series they would have some guidelines set like the tracks, drivers, top speeds, schemes, and have some indie crew make it. There isn’t one tech group that would’ve developed an arcade style game to push the 500? Or push the Freedom 250? These little arcade games could’ve given them feedback for a final product, instead they’re going all in or NOTHING with the game. For the best open wheel racing planet they really don’t give a shit about attracting the youth.
>take away testing
>prop up sim
>AVOID releasing a semi realistic sim for fans
I’d love to be in their weekly meetings, I swear to fuck they only focus on the 500 lmao
>the 500
What goods the fucking 500 in 5 years when it’s 26 cars, speed caps, energy caps, spending caps etc.
>the positive
We have a great field, so if this is the last Indycar push before its full die off in 5 years, then it was good.
