>>156024497I really like it, the problem is that the streaming is too long and I can't watch it all. This weekend's streaming is 4 hours long for 3 races, so it's 12 hours in total. It's very tiring considering I also have to follow F1.So I'll only watch the race with ST-2 because I support the Team KTMS with Riona Tomishita.Hope Toyota GR Yaris win.Happy racing weekend to everyone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-jJOuYH7qk

>>156033619I known it a bit trivial, but the commentary (and sometimes lack there of) is what keeps me from really following it..
Ok,I bought it and for very little, just 4 euros, and it didn't come with shipping because I already had to buy the Formula One 2001 Limited Edition with a bonus DVD from the same seller, and that was my priority, so shipping was already included with the F1 game.The game is brand new, without a scratch, as if it had just been bought new in a store. The same goes for the other game.I've been playing it for a couple of days, and it's quite problematic for several reasons:- The language is only in English in every European country because NASCAR is a niche competition in Europe, so the radio messages are incomprehensible to me, and I don't understand all the various menu options due to the "technical" jargon.- The instruction manual is in Italian, extremely short and concise, and seems to have been translated by a Chinese translator, which isn't at all exhaustive.- I don't know NASCAR or its rules, so everything is quite complicated for me.I'm driving in Rookie mode with no pit stops and 12% of my laps to get used to that driving style. I have to admit, the driving style is really cool, better than the IndyCar series. I can keep the car on the track, but there are some bastard drivers who hit me and send me off. They're not fair. "Rival" appears, and if I press a button, "Intimidator" appears, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.I'm playing "Season" at the moment and managed to finish second at Daytona, but I don't see a standings with points, and I didn't get on the podium.I absolutely need to take a NASCAR course to understand anything.They say 08 is the worst, but even if I could get the previous ones, I wouldn't understand anything since they're all in English.Anyway, problems aside, I'm really enjoying this game, and I'm glad I bought it.
>>156034061I recommend watching it on a delay, as it's all on YouTube, so whenever you want, you can just watch the parts with the race and not have to watch the parts with interviews, commentaries, etc., which are very long. Plus, they're in Japanese with no translation, so you can't understand anything.Then pick a team you like and then watch only that race live. That's what I did, and now I only watch the race I'm interested in. It's less stressful that way.
Good morning lads, fuck divegrass.
good morning, long live subaru

>>156034144I'm sorry to hear that you are having a language issue, which seems odd to me because your written English is absolutely excellent. I think many of these issues could be solved with technology. For instance, you can used your phone s camera to translate text in real time or take a picture and translate it. Similarly you might be able to use your phone to translate the radio messages. It would probably be easier to use YT videos for this.As far as the jargon goes, just post any questions you have here. Since you clearly have a strong understanding of racing and driving, it should be very easy for us to explain the NASCAR specific terms. For instance, if a driver says the car is "loose," then the car is oversteering. Conversely, if it is "tight," then it is under steering. You may well already know that, I just use it as an example of how you probably already understand the concepts. Otherwise, I'm glad you hear the overall gameplay is satisfying and hopefully, we can help you get a better understanding of what they are talking about.
>>156017096
>>156033619To be honest, I don't actually watch the races beyond the first few laps. I just enjoy the pre-show and grid walk, even if I don't know wtf they're saying.
>>156035734My written English seems excellent because I use Google Translate, but it's not precise, so I always have to change a few words. I can understand written English quite well, although for convenience and accuracy I always translate the entire page. Even the browser translator isn't at all precise, but I make up for it with my English, which is at school level.Spoken English is a different story. To understand it, I need it spoken very slowly; if it's spoken quickly, I understand almost nothing. Then there's the accent issue. For example, British English is totally incomprehensible to me, while American English, depending on the area, is more understandable. Perhaps Southern accents are the most difficult.Back to the game, I don't understand radio messages, also because, being radio messages, they are distorted.I don't use smartphones, I hate them. We're already spied on enough on our PCs with home networks, but with a smartphone it's 1,000 times worse. But then imagine driving a car in a race while holding your phone and listening to the instant translation at the same time. It would be chaos, lol. And I don't use an emulator, only the original PS2 console, so no help with technology.Regarding the technical racing jargon, yes, I know certain things because I follow Formula 1, but each type of race has its own jargon. For example, in NASCAR, what does "Intimidator" mean?I know the linguistic translation, but what should I do? Intimidate the opponent by hitting his car when it's marked as a "rival"?Then as I play, I'll ask more technical questions. For now, the priority is understanding NASCAR, how the championships work, the rules, etc. I'll take a good look at YouTube, yes.Yes, I really like the game.For now, thanks for your interest. I'll carefully read any advice you give me for racing well in NASCAR.
Dixon to McLarenhttps://racer.com/2026/07/01/indycar-silly-season-upended-as-dixon-prepares-to-leave-ganassi
So I really don't know why they didn't replace Zarco with Nagashima when he's only buschwacking SST rather than riding his usual superbike even. The reason given for no Ducati is that the company's 100th anniversary is this Saturday so they're holding an event at Misano where they're tying up all their riders lmao
>>156037710>I don't actually watch the racesshamefur dispray
>>156037928Dixon is washed
>>156037923I don't watch asscar and have never played that game but>what does "Intimidator" mean?that was Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s nickname because of his driving style>I know the linguistic translation, but what should I do? Intimidate the opponent by hitting his car when it's marked as a "rival"?yes, because that's what Earnhardt would do, how he earned the nickname
>>156037928>Yes, the 24-year-old Dane, the only driver to stand on the podium for Arrow McLaren this season (four times from 10 races), and the only driver to win so far for Arrow McLaren (twice), and the highest-placed Arrow McLaren driver in the championship (fourth), is headed to the free agent market.
>>156037928When I saw this I was kind of shocked to learn that McLaren was ditching Lundgaard. He's one of the only guys taking the fight to Palou.
>>156037923Intimidator, in the context of the EA games, is a button you can use to make the other driver lose control of their car slightly and make them easier to passIt is the opposite of the Share Draft button which will boost their speed together with youIntimidator will increase your rivalry points with them and make them more likely to bump into you later
This three way colour mashup between the black and orange for the team, red and blue for BMW, and purple and green for Eva is pretty cursed
>>156037710I also really like the initial part, you can see the cars and the grid girls belonging to the various teams very well, it's really a beautiful sight lolBut I also watch the race
>>156037971>>156038213I'd watch more of the race, but it just doesn't work for my schedule...
>>156038122Chip should snatch him up.
>>156038164McLaren are like the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL. that team has no loyalty to their players, they are always chasing the new shiny thing, the new superstar player they can trade for or sign in free agency, and dump their other players without a second thought in order to do so. exactly what McLaren does with drivers in IndyCar, and apparently even team staff. no loyalty whatsoever. the only difference is VGK won a Stanley Cup, McLaren has yet to win a championship or Indy 500 in IndyCar (unless you count the 3 500 wins in the 1970's, but I'm talking the Zak Brown version of McLaren)
>>156037928I'm shocked that Mclel is letting Lundgaard go and is replacing him with Dixon. Dixon could provide helpful input but won't win races. I wonder if PNC Bank will continue to sponsor the 9. If Ganassi gets Lundgard they could sweep the road courses
>>156038290for me Asian and Australian racing is easier to watch than European racing schedule-wise. consequently, I usually only catch the longer endurance races in Europe, like Le Mans, Nurburgring, and Spa.>watch Asian/Australian vrooms>sleep during Euro vrooms>wake up in time to watch American vrooms
>>156038108Yes, I saw the story of that driver on Alberto Naska's YouTube channel, he races in Euronascar and is very knowledgeable in the field of motorsport, he is currently my point of reference, a mine of informationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8eRuiljDw0>>156038167Oh well, so it's an in-game option, not a NASCAR rule, so I'll be happy to hit those damned bastard drivers really hard to return the favor. Yesterday I finished a race in sixth place with over 50% damage, and in another race I had to retire with my car completely destroyed. I'll spin them around like a roulette wheel, side-swiping from the rear and side-swiping from the front when they try to pass me.Thanks for the info.

Once it's full, you can press a button to Intimidate the driver ahead.>The Effect: This forces the AI driver to lose focus and slide out of your way, giving you a clear opportunity to pass.>The Consequences: Intimidating other drivers will cause them to hold a grudge against you. The AI in NASCAR 08 remembers your actions, and they may intentionally bump or wreck you in future laps or races to get payback.>Villain Attribute: If you play as or against a "Villain" archetype driver, they can intimidate from greater distances and have an easier time pulling it off.Presumably the "Rival" is someone that you have pissed off.So I guess you need to decide if it is worth it to get by someone or try to do it another way.

Group C/GTP era sports cars also made huge power that tended to be undersold, like everybody thinks the Intrepid GTP was an aerodynamic brick but if you ask the people who built it they were actually just way down on power.

>>156059201Also kek it turns out this video is missing 6 laps but does include commercial break audio. One of the examples of how fucking much superbike racing in America has lost, that this is not only when superbikes were really super, when there a proper grid of them with 9 or 10 factory bikes from all 4 manufacturers, Jordan Suzuki, Corona Honda, etc. but the races were full 40+ minutes like WSBK instead of <25 minute sprints so they can be done with stock fuel tanks.
>>156059201I'm going with the official available numbers with full boost which are 1580 hp for the Porsche and 1350 hp for the BMW F1 Turbo, but both of them are more powerful than what we have today.

cant believe lundgaard is getting the boot alreadybut i guess zak and tony dont think he will win the indy 500 ever or even be a champion
>>156056374ok this is based
>>156038164>>156038465what it says to me is1. their main focus is winning indy, lundgaard doesnt contribute to that so hes gone and rosenqvist is in2. they want to pick dixon's brain on the inner workings at ganassi and have him groom pato into being more relaxed and methodical
>>156034144the EA NASCAR games had an Ally/Rival mechanic where if you bumped drivers they'd remember and be more aggressive, and if you raced clean they'd do the opposite. the Intimidator feature lets you spook drivers if your Rival rating with them is high enough, causing them to move out of your way or maybe even lose control. there are no podiums in NASCAR like there is in F1, you either win or you don't.
>>156057565
>>156064025>zak and tony dont think he will win the indy 500 ever or even be a championThat would be reasonable if they had another driver that might. I mean, I guess O'Ward had an outside chance at a 500 win, but Lundgaard is doing fine. I can't imagine it isn't a "personality conflict" or something like that.I really hate Zach Brown.
>>156064794You lads may see it as fun, the rest of the world see's it as a humiliation ritual. Its the reason they are forced to put up an international feed with no adverts for the Indy 500, Its the only way they can get anyone outside your corporatocracy to watch it.

The cost:performance ratio on carbon fiber versus fiberglass is not amazing but at the same time the cost of carbon fiber is not actually that large in the scope of grotesquely bloated motorsports budgets.But seriously, you absolutely positively need to understand, the cost to play soccer is about $25 but a pro soccer team has sporting expenses that would cover multiple F1 teams for competitive reasons, barring strict contractual limits you can't regulate your way out of spending you can only regulate your way into it. In most modern series the problem is something like you could build a car 95% as good for 50% the cost but instead everything has to be the same to protect the biggest spenders.
Also of course single source parts (and BoPshit is single source partshit too, don't be confused) just make everything both shittier and more expensive. But I mean like a Gen 3.5 DP was a tube frame car that was barely as fast as a contemporary LMP2 only because it was allowed much more power and cost like twice as much leading like 80% of the teams to just stop racing them anyways but of course the rules were balanced so they would win 75% of the races with those shitboxes. As we also all know a current LMP2 could run the same lap times as Hypermemes at Le Mans without trouble for like 1/3 the money, possibly less and that's not because a dogshit spec hybrid system alone. It's all just fucking politics, no different than government spending.
It is time for the Modified Tour at Seekonk. Dunno if Tim will have it, it's not currently there.Austin Beers with actions detrimental to stock car racing for saying he hates the redraw wheel.
>exhaust just falls apartOf course it's a Catalano
It's so funny having all these French Japan tie ups just because EWC is a French series that inexplicably includes one Japanese race more important than everything else combined.

>>156047510I'm finally starting to understand how the gameplay works better.Yesterday I crashed every car in front of me, then dozens of cars attacked me and completely destroyed my car. There was an automatic pitstop that lasted over 20 seconds, dropping me three laps behind. I finished the race in 43rd place, meaning last.So, it's better not to attack anyone and drive cleanly, but I have to admit that attacking someone makes the game more fun.The Share Draft button is really cool; from what I've seen, I've noticed that it pushes the car more when using the slipstream.Anyway, I found a really helpful video that explains everything very well. The YouTube translator is excellent; I just need to memorize everything well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6C-E4uKkAI>>156064585Yes, I noticed the word "Ally" appearing, but I thought it was referring to a female driver on my team lol.Yeah, there are no podiums or points like in F1 or other motorsports; only the first-place finisher wins.I watched some amazing videos on YouTube, and thanks to Naska, I learned the story behind this series. The first drivers were liquor smugglers who used racing cars to escape the police and avoid arrest. I also learned that a race was won by a "monkey," and that people began to learn about NASCAR thanks to a "storm" that kept people locked up at home, allowing them to watch the first-ever live TV race in the late 1970s.NASCAR is amazing, both in terms of history and organization; everything is handled as if it were a national holiday.I'm leaving the links to the videos I saw; they have English dubbing and subtitles.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umcI6cTE6yEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIHTtEiAC4Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4wAHBt9f3chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRX9m8wljyQAnyway, I don't understand why they say N08 is the ugliest, for me it's really cool.I drive with Montoya,because he comes from F1, black car number 42 and off we go.

total chaos
that's it for the day at Bangsaen
>>156075773>It's a 2F. Have you bought the Jim Hall's biography yet? Ah, my bad. I guess I just remembered it incorrectly. I should have known better. I haven't got the Hall biography, but I do have this neat book about Chaparral.>CBA and VICARIs that the team and the officiating body? I really don't know much about the series other than some of the drivers since I don't speak Portuguese.
>>156079131>It is time for the Modified Tour at Seekonk. Damn it! I hate that these races start so late. I would have loved to have seen that. Was it any good?
>>156093088I will never forgive Honda for not only discontinuing the NSX, but bringing it back at a bloatpig hybrid.
>LE MANS, France – The first overseas race in the nearly 50-year history of Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) is set for this weekend when the HSR NASCAR Classic presented by Goodyear racing series debuts at the Le Mans Classic Legend, July 3 – 5. A full field of historic stock cars from the last seven decades brings the “Thunder of America” back to the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe in the heart of France a half a century after NASCAR stock cars first appeared in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.>The 36-car entry list features a compelling mix of both iconic machinery and celebrated drivers, and among the standouts is 2026 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee and 2004 Cup Series champion Kurt Busch.>Busch is a 34-time winner in NASCAR Cup Series competition, including his triumph in the 2017 Daytona 500. At Le Mans, the former Cup Series champion adds another chapter to his accomplished career, returning to the 2020 No. 1 Monster Energy Chevrolet Camaro that he piloted from 2019 to 2021 with Chip Ganassi Racing.
>>156096998>I crashed every car in front of me, then dozens of cars attacked me and completely destroyed my car.Kek, that is hilarious >it's better not to attack anyone and drive cleanly, but I have to admit that attacking someone makes the game more fun. That sounds like a pretty balanced and well thought out game mechanic.>I learned the story behind this series.It is quite interesting and there are lots of YT videos about it. If you can read English well enough I highly recommend "Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR" by Niel Thompson. It really gives a good impression of how criminal some of the OG stockcar guys really were and also details the initial organization of the NASCAR series. As far as history videos go you might like s1apshoes, he does a lot of well researched history videos. https://.youtube.com/@S1apShoes/featuredThis 1954 race at Langhorne is an excellent primary source on early stockcar racing. It is pure kino+sovl.https://youtu.be/Zlc76ugQ0Do>I don't understand why they say N08 is the ugliest, for me it's really cool. IDK, I've never played any ofbthem, but I encountered you to get it so I'm really glad to hear you like it. lol Hopefully you will enjoy other games in the series as well. I am also glad to hear that this old game has made you interested in stockcar racing. You are the perfect example of how an enjoyable arcade racing game can easily attract new fans. I have no idea why more racibg series don't take this approach and why the focus is all on simulator games. I guess it isn't as profitable to put out an AAA title game as it is to put out subscriptions multiplayer slop, but if it draws new fans to the series, it's well worth it.
>>156097794You are welcome. AVG is pretty useless, especially if you like actual racing.
>>156101203It's weird that he's at Road Atlanta in that image. I guess they were just shaking down the cars there?
>Akira Yanagawa (54) got dragged back into running Suzuka after all as an injury replacement with 3 days noticeDude can't escape, he was supposed to finally be retired and this has ended up being like his 24th year racing superbikes
>>156103118What? He, along with much of the field that's also going to Le Mans, raced in HSR's NASCAR class at Road Atlanta in April.
>>156103208*34th
>Mir to GresiniBut why
>>156103224Oh, I didn't know that. I don't follow HSR or NASCAR outside of the races.
IT'S OFFICIAL DIXON LEAVES CGR IN 2027
I wonder if PNC follows Dixon or stays with ChipTheir company colors would vaguely... match McLel
>louis foster to truggswtf is with all the news dumps on a thursday
>>156104753He'll be racing in the back with Muniz with that shitbox
>>156104753He is trying to figure out what he is doing in 2027, because it surely won't be Indycars.
>>156097517Very difficult. Let me know if you find it
>>156037928>Dixon In for experience to help Pato to Indy 500 or with the Indy 500 for himself.>Rosenqvist back to Arrow Mclaren for help technnical support for EngineeringDon't care if Rosenqvist is a turbocuck, he was essential to assists Mclaren's enginners and mechannics for front row, signing back is a huge sign up for zack brown.
>>156108197*Signing him back
The power of a spanish passport in motogp, Its fucking obscene.
>>156109979that's not your average everyday fraud, that's advanced fraud

>>156120372I get it, but still>David Alonso might get a ride whith Honda>Izan Guevara one with PramacMeanwhile, Manu Gonzales who leads the Moto2 champ and finished 2nd behind Moreira last year might have to look for a ride in SBK.Why?
Wasn’t going to a race this year but now need to see Dixon one more time with Ganassi.
>>156121427Good looking car. DW12 4ever
>>156120970Driver was really trying to be slick lmao

>>156017096Frens, I am so excited for Chicagoland. I love that track.
>>156121061>Why?No idea, Moto2 isn't my area of expertise, Im guessing the kid didn't want to put a tranny flag on his social media account to appease liberty or something like that so doesn't get to join the big boy league.
>>156123259ozzy livery is back, alright, now we're talking.
What if Dixon wins his 7th with mclel
>>156123533that would expose O'Ward as a fraud

https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/corvette-huracan-get-biggest-weight-breaks-for-ctmp/
>>156024497I would give anything for an official English commentary team
>>156125411they had English commentary for one season only and then they stopped
>>156114637now thats neat!
>>156111105>"Oi cunt! Don't forget to head inside and buy some snacks and soda!"
>>156111521were they OK?I saw what happened to that poor roo in aussie land this year
Oh those McFaggots are finally doing an actual proper 1000 GP anniversary scheme for the 1003rd race, fucking Zak.>quick photoshop some rainbows on the picture lest people forget how fucking dystopically gay we are
>>156125411Thailand Super Series hired some Aussies from Speedcafe to do the English commentary remotely, and they do a pretty good job. but Super Taikyu can't even be bothered to do that. shamefur dispray
Bangsaen GP day 2 in 2 hours
>>156125686Idk, I just saw a post on twitter with that pic. It was during practice, so I'd hope they just went yellow. It was at Sugo which is an actual closed circuit, with buffer between the track and forest, so I don't think they jumped right into traffic
>>156108197This is McLaren desperately trying to win a series where simply having the best car isn't good enough. If they don't get some significant victories soon, I don't see them sticking around IndyCar for the new car.
>>156114637That is absolutely bas ass.
>>156129439Sir in the last 30 years Ganassi has won 17 championships, Penske 8, and what is currently called Andretti Autosport most of what's left over despite other teams employing the same race operation staff and drivers, why the fuck do you think just because the cars are all equally ugly means that the teams with the best cars aren't winning?
>>156120326This video doesn't have English subtitles, but it does have an English AI audio track and it's really quite good. This is the first time I've seen this, but I'm quite impressed. Hopefully one day it will be good enough to translate the race anouncers live.Thanks for the link.
>>156121650>DW12 4everIf it ain't broke, don't fix it.It is currently broken with that bullshit hybrid, but even the aeroscreen couldn't kill that thing.
>>156122308Yeah, it's pretty great. I wish IndyCar would go there, but I know they won't.
>>156123533I would be absolutely astounded if he performs better with McLel than with Chip.
>>156125393Hell yeah, Corvette/Lamborghini battles would be fantastic.
>>156125502Wasn't it just some random American fans?
>>156125891GP=Gay PrideThey even put the faggot colors on the original car in that image.
>>156131044Because being a good team is more than just having the magic car. Imagine how many Gay Pride events Ferrari could have won if they could in2 tire strategy or how many more champions Andretti could have won if they could consistently execute a decent pit stop.

>>156140866>>156141039these are the Toyota Hilux one make race.there's also another category of trucks racing this weekend, Super Pickup, where they can get a penalty if they emit too much black smoke.
>>156141039I only wish they had other manufacturers trucks there
>>156140866>>156141119really based, can't wait to get into the game myself and showcase my moonman/pepe/mechahitler livery I've been working on
>>156141180the Super Pickup category has other brands

>>156141246fuck yeahwhich manufacturers are there?
Something wrong with that 28 truck

The track dried super fast.
>>156142943for now, the forecast is showing rain all day
Corolla one make race qualifying next
>>156142774I am no fan of mclaren in any series but this just seems like a pants on head retarded move from literally everyone involved.
>>156143175McLaren is probably offering him more money and the chance to race the McLaren hypercar after he's done with full time IndyCar
Was that that six seven those kids talk about these days?
Armpits on stream
GT4/GTC qualifying next
Rain in 0
>>156145210windy too
I've never been to Thailand but I visited Singapore twice while in the Navy and I'll never forget how it went from lmao sunny day to THE HARDEST FUCKING RAIN YOUVE EVER SEEN within a half hour
Porsche Carrera Cup Asia practice was next but shits getting delayed
>>156145294That sounds no different from Florida in the summer.
>>156146038similar fucked up climates
Sports car racing during a MONSOON
You'd have to think that SEA drivers would be wet driving experts... like Sherpas in mountain ranges
>>156146124Lots of Yoters and a sole MustangStrange field; is the supra just really cheap or is it an Asian/Japanese bias (even though the Supra is a Z4 and made in Austria)?
>>156146542I personally love seeing manufacturers you don't normally see in WEC/IMSA/Whatever
>>156145621here we gostill wet as fuck
>>156030722More people need to be aware of Corolla's rallying pedigree
>>156146594There's three Toyotas in Michelin Pilot Challenge. This field is missing BMW's, McLarens, and Astons. The only GT4 manufacturers (that I know of) that aren't present in MPC are Lotus and KTM (does KTM even make cars anymore?)
>>156146542Toyota is huge in Thailand>Toyota Hilux one make race>Toyota Yaris one make race>Toyota Corolla one make race>Toyota GR86 one make raceand the GT4/GTC race is almost a Toyota Supra GT4 one make race lol.
>>156146864Nissan, but the Z GT4 never raced in MPC. it used to race in SRO GT4 America but Flying Lizard dropped it and now it only races in Super Taikyu
>>156147032>NissanI forgot about that. It seems to be an early-stage project, if not a stillborn one.Remember when Nismo made race winners?
>>156147094Flying Lizard said they dropped it due to lack of development. NISMO only developed it on Japanese circuits so it was ill-suited to tracks like Sebring, to the point of it being a safety issue apparently.
>>156146864McLaren is dropping their GT4 car to focus on their own one make series
>Spend money developing a racecar>Drop factory support before customers can even get the carThe minds of McLel will forever be an enigma.Temerario GT4 when?
GT3/GTM qualifying next

>>156125411Honestly, I'm fine with just watching; it's full of beautiful pit girls and cars. The pre-race commentary is irrelevant.It would be more useful during the race, but unfortunately, the live race is only in Japanese.However, there might be a possibility after the race is over: YouTube could add automatic translation with subtitles or English dubbing, or both. It happened once, and I watched a delayed race with Italian subtitles.Otherwise, you could use the 4K video downloader app and download the video with the entire race and subtitles. The paid version definitely has them, but the free version doesn't guarantee it.I also follow the Kyojo Cup, and I can't find them in certain races.If you can find subtitles, there's only one problem: the translation speed. The Japanese is so fast that you only see the subtitle for a couple of seconds in a long commentary, and you don't have time to read; you have to pause, which is quite annoying.
GT3/GTM qualifying starting
>>156149095thanks bro
Audi spunred flag
>>156102774I've found that driving clean is pointless; the bastards will hit you even if you don't, so you have to hit them anyway.I managed to win a race and get the winner's podium despite losing two laps, but in that race there were almost 50 laps and I'm racing with the setting at 12% of the laps.The longer the race, the easier it is to make up laps and positions when they knock you out, so I'll give it 100% in the next few seasons. I've already gained some confidence with the car and can hold it, countersteering and drifting help a lot, they're crazy races lol.>>156102774>It is quite interesting and there are lots of YT videos about itThanks for the advice, I'll take a look as soon as possible.>>156102774>>I don't understand why they say N08 is the ugliest, for me it's really cool. >IDK, I've never played any ofbthem, but I encountered you to get it so I'm really glad to hear you like it. lol Hopefully you will enjoy other games in the series as well.

I guess it isn't as profitable to put out an AAA title game as it is to put out subscriptions multiplayer slop, but if it draws new fans to the series, it's well worth it.I hate simulators; they're boring. I prefer the thrill of video games: racing for fun, but taking each race very seriously. So, I have to know all the details, and to play well, you also have to get close to the real world of racing, and this gives you a motorsports culture, which is important.It's very difficult to find the other games. I've seen N07 and N09, but the prices are high. N08 is more than enough, and I love it.Thanks for using me as an example. I hope you enjoy this great game too, now that you've discovered it.

>>156151802>“It’s a very different proposition,” Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds told Reuters. “Maybe there’s a 10 minutes difference between an unleashed race and a traditional ePrix.>“The difference is one is a purely strategic game of chess on a racetrack — energy management, very complex — the other is more full send, much less energy restrictions and 450kw of four-wheel drive power.>“So they are going to feel like completely different races.”kwab
Today is a full day of free practice and qualifying for the Le Mans Classic, is it not?Does anyone know if it's being streamed somewhere?
>>156151886only races will be streamedhttps://www.lemansclassic.com/en/media/watch-it-live/
>>156143175It 100% is.
>>156146594In sports car racing, diversity really is a strength. My favorite cars in this event are the Coba Daytona Coupe based cars. Also, that diesel pickup truck race is kino.

>Surgery? Non merci.What a lad. Zarco might be able to ride again in septemberhttps://x.com/lcr_team/status/2072950163136565533
>>156150697thank you for this
>>156153198I heard if he got the surgery he'd be out for most or all of next season and at his age that would be his career over, I think he's pulling something desperate to keep it going and it won't work.
>>156150260>I've found that driving clean is pointless; the bastards will hit you even if you don't, so you have to hit them anyway. Is there a balance? Can you be selective and maybe make friends, or is it simply kill or be killed?>I'll take a look as soon as possible. Seriously, watch that Langhorne race. It has some good interviews with the drivers, who are some real ass niggas, and the actual race is probably the most wild and dangerous race I have ever see. It is absolutely unbelievable what used to be acceptable in racing. >I hate simulators; they're boring. I prefer the thrill of video games: racing for fun, but taking each race very seriously.Sims have their place, but a fun yet challenging vidya that helps engage and introduce a new audience is amazing marketing. If they really wanted, they could even do different levels of gameplay like War Thunder where you have Arcade, Realistic and Sim modes.>Thanks for using me as an example.Thanks for being a proper motorsportsman. Unfortunately, I used to hate NASCAR and oval racing because it was "boring," but really, I just didn't understand it. It super sucks because NASCAR is definitely the most accessible major series for me and I am old enough to have seen some really great drivers and equipment on track. As I have gotten older, I have come to realize that life is more fun when you enjoy things for what they are instead of disliking them.
So, all 6 ducati's will be the same at the start of next season with Marc, Pedro and Fermin who are official ducati riders getting updates during the season but now also Mir who is only under contract by gresini but they'll pay out of their own pocket for him to get a factory supported/updated bike.https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/ducati-renews-vr46-and-gresini-partnerships-to-run-six-bikes-on-2027-motogp-grid/10835709/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBxZ_5ohEuA
>>156158300Based and bald eagle pulled
>>156158300So, I've always thought this was pretty neat, but I just realized I have no idea how it is scored. So, what is going on here?
>>156158488There is a certain track where you have to pull all the weight of the trailer. The friction and drag increases with the distance as the weight comes down more to the front. If you managed to make it the full track, it is a "Full Pull!". If there are several trucks in the same class making the full pull, there will be a second run with an increased weight of the trailer. Until no one or only a single truck manages a full pull and the scoring is measured in distance. That's at least how I understood it.
>>156158648OK, I knew the trailer dug in more, but that makes sense. I just didn't understand the exact mechanism. I also didn't know if time was an element. Like how drag racing you have Elapsed Time and Reaction time and a driver can win with a slower ET if the RT was better. I thought maybe if they moved the same weight faster, it would play into it somehow, but it sounds like this is judged purely on distance. I guess my next area of interest is going to be the mechanical construction and technical regulations. Like how the fuck do you even get pic related to work?

The absolute shanty town of Mid-Ohio.
>Bavarian Meats mentioned
Never been to a race of any kind before but probably going to MidOhio for indy. Any advice on whats good to bring? Are binoculars nice? Would a backpack with some drinks be better than bringing a cooler that needs to be dragged around when I move spots? Is a folding chair a good idea?
>>156168357sport's cars
>>156168417what happened
>>156168851There's apparently a big bump going into the China Beach turn and cars are going into the gravel, though no one has gotten stuck yet
>>156168911the same bump they "fixed" before last year's race?
>>156168980The very same. I'm sure the winter was not kind to it.Pato is job scared and it's effecting his concentration.
Indycar at Bathurst would be a bloodbath.
>>156169061>Pato is job scaredwhy would he be? they just got rid of Lundgaard, his only real competition.
>>156168694Bring a chair and prepare for a sunbath as the tree cover spots get taken by the tent boomers early. Backpack or cooler depends on how much you're moving.
>>156168694I've never been to Mid-Ohio, but I think it's a track where you'd want a chair, unless you plan to constantly be moving. I personally don't bother with a cooler and always have a backpack anyway. You're going to be in the sun all day. I think binoculars are pretty useless, particularly when you can't see far anyway. I've never heard an Indycar myself, but bring some form of hearing protection.
>>156169481they can't really run anything faster than a GT3 at Bathurst, it's only FIA Grade 3. even feeder series open wheel cars have too high a power to weight ratio.
>>156169538Because Zach Brown is the kind of manager who fires employees to obscure his own failings.
>>156168694>Any advice on whats good to bring?A radio with earbuds and over the ear protection or at least some form of ear pro. Water, lots of water, sunscreen and money for snacks. Definitely wear a hat and sunglasses or rain gear as weather dictates and comfy shoes no matter what. A chair is nice if you want to watch from one place and a cooler full of snacks and beer are also nice if you don't plan on moving around a lot.

>Those practice results at ChicagolandI know its just practice but its looking like its going to be Larson, 1 ford and 8 Toyota's in the top 10.
>>156183509You didn't need practice to make this prediction
>>156183568Yeha but this time they will just lead the whole race instead of "making good adjustments" in the final stage and suddenly be a second a lap quicker.
>>156183509That's probably probably accurate except the part about Larson and the Ford. NASCAR is basically an engine championship like Fag 1 now.
>>156183430you are probably one of those retards who thinks it is safe to get shot with a BB gun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkG9eaXa4zgIdk who this guy is, but the IndyCar YT channel posted this as a collab video I guess. It was interesting. There's a few drivers in it.
Formula 1 cars should always be NA or turbo charged V10s revving at 19000 RPM Sports car prototypes should be V12s at all times
>>156184291Or maybe they are just not loud retard. Sure as fuck not at a track like Mid-Ohio where you can barely even watch from anywhere they're actually full throttle. Maybe if you were in the infield at Iowa there would be something to be concerned about.

>>156186273Race cars should be whatever they need or want to be, especially sports cars.The ideal situation is to think of the neatest car you can and run it against a bunch of other unique and interesting cars.Unfortunately, that becomes difficult to regulate for a very large number of reasons and by reasons, I mean dollars. Unfortunately, we are fucked into a cost capin' BoP hellscape of high dosage copium because modern technological and economic systems are completely broken and absolutely geard to disallow fun that isn't predicated on crushing normal people into dust.

No man who has the intelect and sophistication to be ITT is a loser. Your brain has to be operating on a level well above average just to simply understand the complexity of motorsports. You're only a loser if you don't take the opportunity to reflect on yourself and use that to be better next time around. Eat better, go outside and lift heavy things.
