Having been to the AsLMS at Sepang, these Oreca 07s are even louder irl than they seem in the broadcastsPainfully loud but their upshifts and downshifts are oh so glorious
The VDS livery's a classic
This FIAWEC+ is actually pretty cool. It it isn't just the race stream. It also has a ton of tools to track the race. It would be nice to have this for every series.

What happened to the Red Bull Mercedes?
>>154494677>Powered by AWS>It literally makes the car slowerSounds about right. Also whats happening with the penalty? The stream is breaking up really bad.
>>154494697>Powered by AWS>The stream is breaking up really bad.Pottery
Crazy how much can happen in a 1 hour sprint. Really demonstrates the quality of racing that can come out of a great circuit + a star studded field
So the Mercedes got a +5 second penalty for a pit crew member being out of position when the car was released and won anyway?
>>154494767Absolutely, DTM, GT Masters and GT World Challenge really do provide some really great racing.
>>154494767There was a lot more passing then they were expecting thats for sure. Great race, next is in about 3 hours right?
>>154494769OK, penalties were applied after the finish.
>>154494799I was expecting it to be prerry good, but that excellent. >Great race, next is in about 3 hours right?The stream says 2 hours. https://www.youtube.com/live/Bq_iDo6Ul2IAlso, it's too bad that blue and red Porsche got destroyed. I really like that car.
>>154494855Sounds like enough time to go to the local breakfast place and get some pancakes and sausage.

>>154495323What race is this? Is it on youtube atm?
>>154495382ELMS 4 Hours of Le Castellet 2026, exclusively on FIAWEC+.
Good morning lads. I love sportscar racing.>>154495382Link for ELMS (Brazilian VPN required): https://youtu.be/j07i2pVwoygThanks Fittipaldi Bros.
>>154495323IDK how you keep up with as much as you do. I just have it on mute. I'm mostly watching this ELMS race and playing with the information tools. I'm really digging it. I'm glad you mentioned that it is free because I wouldn't have bothered with it, but now that I have, I see there is a genuine value here. I might shell out for le Mans. I wish we had this for every series.
>>154495402>>154495403Damn how come no one is streaming it illegally. I'm not paying for fiawec+. Also I can access that link without a VPN. It's just a YouTube stream. Thanks.
>>154495436ELMS is free on fiawec+, although you need to make an account
>>154495436Oh wow they forgot to turn on regional restrictions. Game on.
>>154489702Looking back, that was a bit harsh, but it's not entirely untrue. The Taylor brothers are decent drivers, but WTR has been absolutely struggling with the Cadillac packing way more than I would have expected. They also have way more race experience than Gray Newell. All I can say is that I really hope he is a good driver and that he is only either in WEC or IMSA unless he is just God tier.
>>154495436>I'm not paying for fiawec+.>>154495448All you need is an email. Just click Next or whatever when they ask for your name.It's a great user interface.
I was literally just checking to see that Corvette was still leading...
>>154495424>IDK how you keep up with as much as you doI try my best but I'm definitely not following as much as I did last year and the year before, before I got burnt outI cherrypick a couple of races I wouldn't want to miss in a weekend and plan my schedule around those>I just have it on mute. I'm mostly watching this ELMS raceI have an ultrawide 32:9 monitor so I have it on across half the screen and sort of watch it out the corner of my eye while I'm doing some other, work-related stuff. Have the commentary on so it's like radio >playing with the information tools. I'm really digging itOh yeah, it's really good and helpful relative to the timing website they were using in the past. This WEC+ timing gadget's the golden standard as far as I've seen thus far, at least in terms of sports car racing
>>154495634>before I got burnt out Yeah, I completely understand. I LOVE racing, but it can start to feel like a burden trying to watch every second of every series down to club level. I have been indulging in other hobbies while following the big stuff and just letting stuff like ELMS run in the background while I do other things. I'm still going to watch every IMSA, WEC and IndyCar race, but I had to give up on Japanese and Australian series because it was interfering with my real life missing sleep for them. All the same, I really appreciate your posts that have the sports car schedule for the weekend and the ones aggregating the sports car news. >ultrawide 32:9 Based. I have a ELMS on my lap top and the ADAC stream... which just ended, on my 32 bit please-just-let-me-die laptop I use with my TV.>the golden standard100%>in terms of sports car racingI've never seen anything better for any series. I assume this was built with F1 money and then distributed to other series. I imagine it could be really useful for rally frens if applied to those races. I'm officially spoiled.
Kek!!!!
>>154495777IMSA kicks off at 4am SGT over here so I think I'll dip right after ELMS and squeeze in some sleep before waking up later
>>154495878That will be worth it. I'll probably do the same for WEC Japan later this year.

Good performance by United. I'm assuming that they're using this season of ELMS to prep for stepping up to Hypercar in 26, just as Ford is doing and Genesis did last year

>>154495448Thanks. I checked it out like two weeks ago and I came away from it with the impression it had a subscription fee.

>>154496364Holy crap, thank you! I almost missed it.
>>154496478kek I'm just watching this in the meantime while waiting for the race to start:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkG2OD4PkwsThink I'll catch the start and dip right after that
>>154496263Who do you like so I don't actually like them, too.
>>154496543Based. I love racing because I love cars. I wish I could drive a Ferrari one day.Also, I know we were talking about being overwhelmed by racing, but check out Simola. It's a bas ass hill climb in South Africa and it's packed full of some of the nastiest GT-Rs you have ever seen.
that's a lot of sports cars

>>154496896nope

>>154496896it's exceedingly obvious it's the track's fault for forcing him to overcorrect, no need for onboards

>>154497315Based big bastards. I can't believe this is a thing in so many countries. It is the testament to the indomitable male spirit to do crazy stuff just because it's fun and cool.
Singapore bro picked a good race to nap through...
Finally get to catch an imsa race in person
>>154497612Like, you are at Laguna Seca today?Unfathomably based. That's a life goals level event for me.Post a couple pics and any food or beverages you get.
>>154497728I live in California, so it wasn't that difficult to get to. Tickets for this were a lot cheaper than the long beach race. Any other anons here?
>>154497854It going to be raining for the race? Or they expecting it to clear by then?
>>154498221Based c2. I believe it should clear up by noon, already kinda is.
Am I the only sperg who watches car auctions in this thread?
>>154498598When its late at night and im stuck awake ill watch the auctions that air on racer network. Lotta pretty vrooms there, i also like calling up my dad and asking about them cause he sold cars from the late 60's to early 90's and drove or sold them if it was anything GM related.
Is the mustang challenge being streamed somewhere?
>>154498822https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmkS_wWgZ5EFree on youtube.
Thought I'd watch F1 for the first time in ages today to see how it is, this gridwalk is so inane do normies actually like this or do companies just think this is what people want
>>154498973Ever since Liberty Media bought F1 they have decided to market it to drooling idiots. Also starting this year they are using the worst engine regulations in the history of motorsports so I think watching F1 these days is just a waste of time
>>154498973The gridwalk is usually skippable but every once in a while you get goofy stuff like Brundle thinking somebody is somebody else since why would he know who some random British rapper is.
>>154497854Motorspsman on scene in ANOTHER major event. Hell yeah! Are you the same anon from Long Beach?Going to a sports car race is pretty unreal.
>>154498315Of all American cars, I think Corvette has been the best looking through all its generations. C2 is definitely my favorite.
Mustang racing might never be "good" but it sure is comfy.
>>154499407Nah that was a different anon
>>154498973Man, you picked an especially bad time to get back into F1. It's basically football (soccer) levels of blind allegiance and the worst technical regulation imaginable. Lucky, there is an IMSA race in California today, and while not at all without fault, it is pretty promising.
>>154499138F1 broadcasts had gridwalks in the '90s. It was always gay.
>>154499919All the same, congratulations on getting out there and doing a thing. In person attendance is absolutely critical in supporting races and everyone should go to as many races as they can. Mostly because it's a totally amazing experience.

>>154500071Way too early but thanks.
>>154500068Yeah I want to enjoy Laguna seca in particular as much as possible. People who live nearby have been trying to shut it down.

>>154500221
Ok this lambo race is more like
oh shit fire
FIRE
>>154499965From what I remember watching in the 00s, the gridwalks were tolerable for the most part. There was your odd celebrity in Monaco and Silverstone but during the stupid hybrid era and specially after Liberty Media, it just went full retard with tons of retard celebrities, cringe entrances for the drivers, faggots, whores and special needs singing the anthems, etc.

>>154503900One of the problems when NBC had IndyCar is that they had TOO many sports, and Indy kept getting fucked along with IMSA. It needs to stay balanced between networks. If anything, CW or CBS should take IMSA.

I don't think we should get complacent, so support it in any way you can, but I doubt Laguna Seca is in immediate danger. Multiple people at the yearly Porsche party there could buy the property the way you buy a pack of gum.
>>154505733>>154505785Yeah you just have to plan early. I've already bought my tickets for Sebring next year. It's good problem to have. It's good for the tracks. It's good for IMSA. It's good for the manufacturers. It's good for the teams.

>>154505898I guess, but I have to show up Wednesday to get a decent campaign spot and I don't get to meet as many drivers.

>>154505939>mfwWhy does everything I love have to suffer?
not a great couple of minutes for black and gold cars
>>154505472>>154505490>>154505653Yeah I'm glad I made the drive up here, worth the 5 hours and early wake up
>>154505888I'll be honest the fact that Sonoma still exists is nothing short of a miracle, I think it has NHRA to thank for that primarily. I used to live between the two tracks so my dad would take us to races all the time. Sears Point for nascar, Laguna for indy car/vintage races. Fuck man those were the days.
can't wtr go five minutes without doing something silly
>>154506007The drag strip and NASCAR dates are 100% saving Sears Point, Sonoma's proper name. The road course is so good, it's unreal. Even the shortened stock car version. I'm so glad they repaved it recently. It was looking terrible with all the tar snakes.>dad would take us to races all the time. Sears Point for nascar, Laguna for indy car/vintage races. Unfathomably based.
>>154505340>>154505602https://www.dailysportscar.com/2026/05/01/hrc-us-president-salters-explains-gtp-pause.htmlHRC US President Salters Explains GTP ‘Pause’>Salters confirmed that the resources required to develop an Evo package – such as the one Acura introduced for the ARX-06 this year – could consume as much as 25 percent of a programme’s budget.>“There wasn’t meant to be Evos in LMDh at the very start. To be very blunt, we did not sign up for Evos,” he admitted.>“All of a sudden, the cost is difficult, then it becomes more and more costly, and you have to start thinking about things.>“What was meant to happen – and DPi had this – is if you were in difficulty, it was there as a Joker to get parity, but not as an arms race thing.>It’s become an arms race now. Every year, people are doing Evos.>It was originally meant to be a tool to help in that scenario, but for whatever reason, it changed.>As it pertains to a privately-funded programme to keep the Acura ARX-06 on the IMSA grid in 2027, Salters said definitively that the chance was “zero.”>A privateer WEC programme for 2027, which had been rumoured as recently as January, was also ruled out.>But with the Asian Le Mans Series introducing a privateer Pro-Am Hypercar class for the 2026–27 season, Salters confirmed that he and HRC US are open to supporting potential privateers in the regional winter series.>Indeed, HRC US has been in talks with multiple interested teams who could bring the ARX-06 to Asia – and it could even keep the Acura badge if it races beyond Acura’s exclusive domain in North America.>“We’re open to offers there,” Salters said of the prospects of racing in Asian Le Mans. “We love this car! It’s our car, with (chassis supplier) ORECA, it looks cool, sounds cool, that’s our engineering.>“We’re open to that, but it has to be fully funded. I can only imagine that happening in one place at the moment.”

If you could pick the road legal version of any currently homoligated GT3 car as a daily driver, what would it be?Completely disregard any reliability and cost of ownership issues. It always starts and runs perfectly. This extends to cars that are homoligated, but not currently running i.e. Dismount GT-R and Acura Intergra.I'm a huge Corvette fag (and owner) and I'm going Aston Martin or Mercedes.
Heinrich and JDC on the podium!? Come on!
I miss Mazda

>>15450773Kino race, have a good night everyone
FIRST ON RACE DAY
Privateer bros...We did it!!!!!!>>154507789I know. I'm a Cadillacfag like you wouldn't believe, but that was the second best possible result besides an Aston Martin win.Plus, that's the best Mustang result to date. Mid raceKiller results
what a race, ggs
Incredible. Also>jdc miller wins in gtp>singapore bro missed itCrazy finish
replacing Pino with Heinrich was the right move
Great Laguna action as always. Gnight all
>>154507559I came...
Singapore bro is gonna shit when he wakes up
Great race, great last lap
I forgot about IMSA...
>Best Mustang finish to date.Look out, le Mans. We commin'.
>>154507950Just watch the last 15 minutes. It was just ticking off laps until the. How was NASCAR?
NHRA Southern Nationals' tape delay is live on FS1. Watch for record breaking speeds.
>>154508074>>154508219I'm such a slut for fast cars.
>>154507738I bet there were a lot of sad Cadillac fans, but how can you hate that finish?
>>154507900>>154507938>>154508219No fucking way, how?!
Holy hell, I crashed back to sleep with about an hour to go and I missed the first privateer win of the Hypercar era. fuuuuuck.....Also, P11 to P1? The JDC wasn't producing any eyecatching laptimes when I left either, so I'll have to watch the final hour on the way to work to find out what happenedLet's fuckin go lads! Finally
I feel like I missed a whole lot of good racing this weekend. So I am gonna spend a good amount of the next week just to rewatch stuff, even though it is not my thing to rewatch stuff.
>>154508615*first privateer lmdh/gtp, though the 83 af corse is pretty much a 3rd factory car
>sports car racing discourse on twitter the last few days about how hypercar has no future for privateers (inevitably ending with manufacturers shitting themselves over what they spent to kill another series again)>privateer team wins hypercarI wish I could stop noticing.
>>154508828Jota...
>>154508879oh shit completely forgot about that one, point about the 83 stands
>>154508549They put a German in a Porsche. Magic...
Malcom going to Sebring instead of the Glen.
>>154508879Ah yes, my sleepy half-lucid mind forgot about Spa 2024>>154509057Caught up on the last hour and well executed from JDC to put themselves on the correct strategy for the last stop to propel themselves into the podium placesHeinrich's driving was something else entirely to dispatch Wittman and then Bamber all within the last 15 minutesMan was driving like a shark that's smelt blood, such controlled aggression and pace. Reminds me of Andlauer in the Proton at Spa 2024. Absolutely brilliantAlso, SGT in just under 2 bongs
>Had a really busy Saturday and short slept to watch all the Sunday vrooms>Ended up falling asleep with an hour left to go in the IMSA race and missed the end of that and the cup raceI hate getting old...

>>154500808the celebrity worship started under Ecclestone. I can't speak for the 90s or early 00s but it was definitely already a thing by 2012 when I first started watching. the only difference was the choice of celebrity. back then, it was mostly pro soccer players and movie stars/rock stars only older people would care about. since the Liberty takeover they've switched towards celebrities that younger people would care about. that's all.
