Plus, it was pretty clear how it was about to go down.>It's so uninteresting when one manufacturer has such a blatant advantage over the field.I completely agree. When seven of the top ten cars were Toyotas, including a top three sweep it'spretty clear something is going on. It's always boring, but at least F1 has the excuse of it being a development series. NASCAR is cooked.

I want to customize my GR86. What do you guys think of the off road look?
>>156360437There is a possibility of a wet start at Interlagos this Sunday. Heavy rain after the finish only.
>>156362277Im not a car guy but that wouldn't look bad in a matte black
>>156362993Both of my cars are a matte grey (underground/pavement)
>>156362277I saw this at Road Atlanta last year.
>>156364355I am also retarded.
>>1563600151- The fact that you continue to distinguish between F1 and Motorsports while despising F1 shows you're not a sportsman.2- I posted material about the Asian Super Taikyu and Superrace races, so I'm in the right thread; in the F1 section, I'd be off-topic.3- Grid-pit-driver girls are loved by all motorsports enthusiasts; women and motorsports are the perfect combination.You're the only asshole who despises women, so you're supposed to be the "faggot."At this point, I'm sure you're a piston-licking idiot.A word of advice: Enjoy this great thread, post what you like about motorsports, and don't piss anyone off; don't be a crazy Irish idiot.

fuck divegrass
>>156365066Yeah, didn't read any of your simp lib shit, get back to your containment thread.
>>156364418I'd love to live in a country where you can have the disposable income to build this kind of stuff and not have retarded communists destroying the economy.
is this good pizza?i only ever eat frozen anymore
>>156368716It's premade pizza sold hot in gas stations, basically Little CaesarsIt tastes good but I choose not to eat it for health reasons
>>156365195Am I the only one that thought the crash improved the look of the car?
>>156368716It is good. But don't get the slices under the heat lamp. Buy a whole one, so they have to make it fresh
>>156364418That looks like fun>>156368121Liberals and communists want to destroy everything fun
>>156368716When you're hungry in the middle of nowhere USA, and all that's around is a gas station, it's acceptable. If you live anywhere civilized, you're not eating this.
>>156368716Stop buying frozen and make your own
>>156368121NGL, it's pretty sweet, but it won't last for much longer. We have retarded technocrats destroying the economy instead. >>156368716I mean, it's alright. I don't think think I've ever seen a Hunt Brothers pizza outside a gas station, so it's pretty good by that standard.
>>156369393Technically don't all the ingredients come from the same place anyway?
Oh I didn't realize it was gas station pizza.
>>156369703It's honestly not that bad if it's fresh, you're just buying a slice and if you're already there buying gas and smokes it's like another 30 seconds to pick one up and some napkins.>>156369393dude...
>>156369656Yeah, there's like two companies that basically run 90%+ of the food industry. Even the fucking seeds -_- now they're trying to kill all the beef cattle.

>>156371008https://racer.com/2026/07/06/arrow-mclaren-clears-lundgaard-to-sign-a-new-contract-elsewhere-for-2027
David Land has an interview with Tony Kanaan's explanationhttps://youtu.be/FVtdjSBQYug
>>156371008https://racer.com/2026/07/06/arrow-mclaren-confirms-signing-of-dixon-rosenqvist-for-2027-indycar-season
>>156371008>Rosenqvist for the 6' car >Dixon for the 7's carI doubt Dixon will last on Arrow Mclaren.
>>156371008>>156371194I think it's clear that McLaren's main focus is the Indy500. They are building a team to win that race next year. We will see how it works out.
>Norizz was the one who triggered them sacking themWewvlad
>>156371008I dont get dropping Lundgaard. I guess hes just going to step into Dixon's old seat?
>>156371843If you watch the interview >>156371283 Kanaan goes on about how he just wasn't developing on ovals fast enough
>>156371708if they wanted Indy 500 winners only they could have just kept Rossi
>>156371708>>156371893I can get Felix in that regard but i just dont think Dixon has it anymore.
>>156371993Rossi fucking sucks though
>>156372032They want Dixon for the dame reason that rari wanted shamilton, give him a couple wins, then retire him into brand guy
>>156372138The aeroscreen nerfed him enough though
O'Ward is overated, hes already proven he can't beat Palou
Would be funny if Lundgaard went to CGR and then him and Palou won every race next season, also maybe one or two for Simpson too.
>>156372138Rosenqvist has won 1 race besides the Indy 500
>>156372032>i just dont think Dixon has it anymoreMaybe, but he he knows what a winning car is. He knows how a championship team like Ganassi operates. He can still bring a lot to the team.>>156371283Watching this now. David Land is a fucking gem. This is a really good interview.>>156371993I thought I remember Rossi turning down a deal with McLaren and leaving. Maybe it was a shit deal, but there was one on the table for him to stay I think.
>>156372428His 500 win was also pure luck
>>156372477>This is a really good interview.Apparently Bob Pockrass was in the trailer there too, and maybe others. Bob is posting his clips to his X accounthttps://x.com/bobpockrass
>>156369393Lemme get a piece of that.
>>156371843>>156371893It would be fucking poetry if he went and won the 500 next year.
>>156372494>His 500 win was also pure luckMalukas choked at the end. He had all the advantage to win easily. Rosenqvist was using hybrid at the 4th corner for gain enough pace to win in the end., in fact, Rosenqvist and armstrong would've crashed in the last lap.>>156372032Dixon is going to Arrow Mclaren to help Pato and see if Rosenqvist can win the 500th next year too.
>>156372477>I thought I remember Rossi turning down a deal with McLaren and leaving. Maybe it was a shit deal, but there was one on the table for him to stay I think.yeah he left because he thought he deserved a bigger contract than McLaren was offering
YOUZA DORKBRRT BRRT BRRT
>>156372494also he didn't do shit last time he was on McLaren, until Indy with MSR his only win was Road America 2020 with Ganassi (the year it was a double header because COVID)
>>156372765>Palou and lundgaard going 1-2 every road and street track by 15 seconds That fat fuck is very happy right now
>>156373235when it happens, just remember that Zak Brown's shitty political games caused all this to happen.
>>156373350I forgot the timeline. Palou to F1 fell apart when Piastri came available right. So if anything you can blame Alpine for completely blundering it with Oscar.
>>156373535still Brown's fault for promising Palou something he didn't intend to deliver
>>156373235Chip has had to have already talked with Lundgaard today right? I feels like a no brainer.
Lmao @ kanaan saying yesterday the decision on lundgaard wasnt made yet just for the team to announce his departure today
>>156371134>While admitting to Sportscar365 that the discontinuation of the internal combustion-engined Cayman road car, a decision that has since been reversedI know that making a car easy to convert to whatever entry-level category you want to run was the main reason for the 911 GT4, but watching Porsche spending billions of dollars on the EV meme and then spending some billions more to revert everything back is a sight to behold.
>>156375295Tony Kanaan's job is to take heat for Zak Brown's decisions
My Schizo theroy is that they want Norris to get the tripple crown
>>156375295Trusting a guy with a beak like that.
>>156372765>>156373235
>>156374007he's best driver available, and Ganassi has the best seat available
>>156376399Norris can go to the 4th car anyway if he wants
>>156378872Yeah, this feels like prep for him
>>156371008>indycarImagine giving a flying shit about walmart f1
>>156372264I think Palou had his h4x turned off.
>>156372494That race should have ended under yellow.
>>156373731Cool it with the antisemitism.
>>156375684Yeah, ut kinda sucks that it's fucking up the race programs, but I am definitely glad to see them eating shit for pushing for full electrification and being dumb enough to think it was a legitimate strategy.
Bumpers
fuck FIFA
Who are these two random boomers who showed up to the Felix Mclaren announcement?
>>156393608>Asian>Mexican-Irish>Swedish >Texan nice and diverse. the question is will you wear that faggy orange to support these drivers or are you going dale coyne apparel
>>156394408I looked for dale coyne merch at one of the races I went to and could hardly find anything
>>156394408>>156394491why would Dale Coyne bother with merchandise when he has new drivers pretty much every year
>>156394647That very reason. He would make a killing selling $20 snap backs with different drivers. Buy them in bulk with the number, change the drivers name and logo as you go, maybe change $25 for the fancy edition hat. That’s how you pay for a third car
>>156394491thatll be their next major move. merch at all races
I figured Todd Ault would be the kind of guy who'd want merch with his logos
>>156394712>third carwith what charter?
Newgarden will win at Nashville, Markham, DC, and sweep Milwaukee.
>>156394963New Era/merch money, they will make indycar have to expand the field to 29.
>>156395050>sweep Milwaukeegood, it's a dirty city>t. Wisconsinite
>>156395050>NewgardenYou mean Big Dave
>>156395111
>>156395109Roger Penske can add or remove charters whenever he wants to. teams also have to get his permission to sell their charters to someone else.
>>156395117lil dave will let the master go to work
>>156395236not dale coyne.
>>156395412IndyCar made a rule specifically to restrict Dale Coyne from renting his cars out to a different pay driver at every race.
>>156395471too bad they want the small teams gone
>>156393608Dixon looks like he's had shit done to his face to look younger, he's starting to develop that Joan Rivers look.
>>156396264He’s a handsome Asian woman in her 70s
>whos the most hated driver in motorsports?Denny is still a fucking faggot
>>156396480Lance Stroll. Probably why that Canadian sperged out earlier in the thread.
>>156394963It was my understanding that you don't need a charter to enter a race, but a charter guarantees you start even if you don't qualify. The grid isn't maxed out because Prema isn't around any more. The max is 27 cars for every race other than the Indy 500. Coyne could technically run 2 non charter cars if he kept the same driver in them and managed to out qualify any potential rival non charter cars.
>>156393608Pato surrounded by Indycar champs and Indy 500 winners. He's even the little guy next to Felix.
>>156396072It really is. I always thought it was cool how anyone with a license and some cash could jump in a DC car for a race. I know there were a lot of shitting problems, but IndyCar, like most old school racing series has a long tradition of letting just about anyone have a shot. I do think qualifying needs to mean something and as far as I know there aren't any rules in IndyCar that say you must be within X% of the fastest qualifier to make the starting grid.
>>156396480>>156396945Lany or Reddick, probably. Denny is definitely up there.
>>156396480Bubba
>>156397089Anon, they changed it this year that non-charter entries cannot enter any IndyCar races except for the Indy 500.
>>156396393I am now imagining the Super Taikyu slut in her 70's>>156355248>>156355269>>156355313
>>156370050F1 banned refuelling because it made the racing boring as shit. nobody ever fought for position because they were on supreme economy runs every duel stint. the 'muh safety' shit was just an excuse to hide they were doing it for entertainment reasons.
>>156398456she is the Slut-in-chief, the Commander-in-chief of all of the S-Tai grid girls.
Will there be enough leftover D12 chassis to see the birth of Indy ARCA or something when the new car drops?
Huh. Didn't know /sp/ had a motorsport thread.Lads, how do I watch Super GT? There is this one channel I follow that covers GT racing, but they never got the rights to stream the Super GT races.
the us losing in soccer would be greatly appreciated. cheers sound great but the painful cries sound much better. fuck soccer
>>156403335You'd need an engine people can buy that fits in the car.
>>156405654do a swap with a used accord hybrid. same engine, same horsepower.
>>156403655pitsport dot live newfagOr just google JP IPTV and watch jsports3 since the nip commentary is better.
>>156398099If you had to wear a suit and pants combo like that which racing related sponsor logo slammed all over the attire like the pic would you go with? I think id go with the Valvoline V.
>>156406876fuck Valvoline, their motor oil is shit now
>>156406876Hooters
>>156403655I don't think there is a legal way to watch Super GT unless you live in Japan, or live in the US/Canada and pay for RACER+ which is a total ripoff. it doesn't even include the practice/qualifying sessions, and RACER's commentators are not knowledgeable about the series, unlike past English commentators.>luckily, we here in motor/sp/ort care not for trivial things like "legality"
>>156406876Anything that is cigarette/booze/degenerate.

Simpson can stay as long as Ganassi signs Lundgaard. Schumacher and Grosjean can stay as a reminder to Euros that F1 drivers can't just come in and steamroll IndyCar.

>>156360015
>>156362993
Luigi, you are in the wrong thread.
>>156367414
>>156429470I gotta be honest with you ItalianBro, I don't like F1 either. I think the FIA puts undue emphasis on it, to the detriment of other forms of motorsport. but I'm with you on women in motorsport. I witnessed Jamie Chadwick's win in IndyNXT at Road America. many cheers were heard in turn 5. but I think it is important for women to compete in the same series as men, I don't agree with women-only series like Formula W or Kyojo Cup. gender segregation won't help.
>>156429569We're in motorsports, and motorsports also includes F1, F2, F3, etc.Leave me alone, you don't want another 15-18.
>>156429779Return to your containment thread.
>>156429779/f1/ is a separate general for a reason. the discussion of it drowns out all other motorsport. just they way she goes.
fuck, due to divegrass spam we are all stuck in here with each other. it is what it is. but I will not listen to Will Buxton's mentality that ignores legitimate and long-standing grievances.
>>156429768Tastes are tastes and I respect them. You're polite and respectful, and I respect your opinion.I'd never posted anything about F1 here; in fact, I was really interested in other motorsports, but then that stupid Irishman came along and bothered me. It's not the first time. Now I'm fed up. He attacks me, and I'm launching a counterattack. You guys have to be patient. When the Irishman stops bothering me and learns to be civilized, respectful, and tolerant, then everything will be okay.
>>156429954PROTIP: immediately hide any post by an Irish or Canadian flag. your experience in motor/sp/ort will be much better.
>>156429569>>156429798>>156429851Ok
UK flag is also sus.Australian/New Zealand flags are rarer than they should be, those blokes only seem to care about the Supercars series and bikes.
Irish, Canucks, and Brits: you can complain about your country being unfairly singled out, or you can contribute good posts and reverse the stereotype. your choice.
>>156429993How do I hide posts? If I hide them, won't they see me?Why should I hide the Canadian flag too?>>156430053Even the UK?The English have never bothered me.On F1, there's always some fucking Australian who annoys me, but it doesn't bother me that much because the content is very frequent and scattered, and anyway, I spend more time here than in F1; in F1, I only post at the end of the Grand Prix.

>>156394408Dixon is asian?
>>156430241there are certain posters in this thread from Ireland, Canada, UK, etc. that do nothing but talk shit. we recognize them by their flag, fairly or unfairly.
>>156430345Maori are kind of Asian, but I don't think Sir Dixon is
>>156429768the FIA don't emphasise F1, F1 themselves do. back in the early 80s the non-works teams in F1 (at the time, Ferrari Renault Ligier and Alfa Romeo were works teams) saw what Gurney and Penske had done with CART and decided to do the same thing for F1. basically hijack the regulations away from the governing body and turn it into an independent commercial enterprise, forming what eventually became FOM/Formula One Group. the only thing the FIA do now are crown the champions at the end of the year, everything else (including marketing) is handled internally by F1 themselves. to show how much sway they have as an independent organisation, they have used the threat of splintering off from the FIA entirely on multiple occasions to strongarm the FIA into sabotaging anything they saw as a threat to F1's preeminence, the most noteworthy example being the death of Group C.
>>156430431I hate to admit it, but I think it was CART that took their inspiration from the F1 teams/Bernie Ecclestone, not the other way around.
>>156430500no. CART happened in 1978-1979, FOCA was in 1981-1982.
>>156430515eh, maybe. the seeds for both were sown a few years before. and CART's supremacy over USAC except for the Indy 500 was not recognized until 1982, 83.
>>156429160>>156429234>>156429305I don't use a VPN and I'm still the Italian anon who's interested in Japanese and Asian racing, who adores grid girls, who loves racing video games, who's getting interested in NASCAR and who bought N08 for PS2 and is still playing it having fun, I don't hide, I'm still the same, you recognize me from the posts, if you see Asian stuff, girls and video games with the Italian flag, well, it's still me.>>156429207Right
>>156430556Gurney's white paper was written in 1978
>>156430626yeah no worries. you are cool with us bro. welcome to motor/sp/ort. we are glad to have you.
>>156430650it's really chicken vs egg which came first
>>156430285Yes, I understand, you can also report it. I've reported the Irishman several times, but the moderators are absent from this section.The point is: if I hide them, can they still see my posts? Because if they see me, then there's no point in hiding them.>>156430654Thanks.And I'm happy to be here and share the same passion for motorsports and learn new things.
>>156430812yeah hide just hides their stupid posts for you so you don't have to look at it. don't reply to trolls. it just encourages them.
>>156430812>And I'm happy to be here and share the same passion for motorsports and learn new thingssei arrivato nel posto giusto, amico mio.
>>156430846Mmmm, then there's no point in hiding them, better to see them, they'll troll anyway, the best move is to find the troll's weak point and bombard him, he hates F1 and women, but F1 can't be posted here, and out of respect for the thread I won't post anything about F1 anymore, the troll will only have photos of women in motorsport, I think you'll all be happy, who doesn't like women? Only the Irish troll lmao>>156430928I know, I'm learning so much thanks to all of you.It's here that I discovered Japanese racing, and it's here that I learned about the Kyojo Cup and the Super Taikyu.And always post links to watch the races; it's all really cool.
>>156431059did you watch any of the Bangsaen Grand Prix? also the Macau Grand Prix is coming up in November. there's tons of good motor racing happening in Asia. Japan is just the most famous due to the power of their automotive industry.
I think it's kind of weird that Hyundai has GT3 and prototype ambitions, but has not really supported any Korean drivers.
fuck divegrass, motor racing is the best sport
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dESg6BlMNULADIES, BEHOLD, SIR JORGE MARTIN THE GOAT FIRST EVER SINCE ROSSI TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A SATTELITE TEAM FIRST EVER TO LEAVE THE BEST TEAM FOR UNDERDOGS TO PROBE A POINT SINCE ROSSI HE'S LEADING THE CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER ALL THE HATE FROM HIS TEAM AND THEIR FANSHIS NAME IS JORGE MARTIN
based Russian
>>156431157Yes, I saw something, but I was watching the Super Taikyu x with the ST-2, which lasted 6 hours. The Thai race lasted more than 9 hours. Watching the race live is very tiring.Luckily, it's all on YouTube and you can watch it all in multiple takes. The Thai race is interesting, with beautiful cars and beautiful girls.One nice thing about Asians is that they do everything in a big way; they're very stylish with their competitions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24KBu9ro15Q
>>156431982Super Taikyu is an endurance race.>taikyu means endurance, Super EnduranceThailand Super Series is more of a sprint race, though many of the categories race for 1 hour.but they share a lot of the same types of cars.>except pickup trucks, Thailand loves them and the Japanese don't care
>>156432132Wow, there's always something to learn, thanks for the info
>>156432235I am still learning too. many things to learn about Asian racing. I suspect that the SRO GTWC Asia has a tough time due to the power of the Super GT and Super Taikyu championships. the Japanese teams don't want to go overseas when they have perfectly good circuits and championships at home. why spend the money to ship the cars to Thailand, China, Malaysia, Korea, etc?
Stephane Ratel wants the model of GTWC Europe to work worldwide, but he doesn't take into account the power of IMSA in America, Super GT and Super Taikyu in Asia, and Supercars in Australia.
>>156432330The Japanese are right, they have powerful cars and spectacular circuits like Suzuka and Fuji. Maybe they could go to Korea, which is very close, and the Koreans to Japan, separated only by a strip of sea. It wouldn't be expensive.But from what I understand about Asian culture, the Japanese and Koreans have a very autarchic mentality. They do everything themselves and rarely collaborate with other nations.They're only interested in producing and exporting.
>>156432611my understanding is that Japan, Korea, and China all hate each other, going back thousands of years.
>tfw citizen of a relatively young nation250 years ago we told the Brits to fuck off..
>>156429540Luigi the fag1 thread is over there
>>156433155he's cool man, relax
>>156398595>F1 banned refuelling because it made the racing boring as shitWell, what's the excuse now?
>>156432900Americans and Euros have the privilege of being able to transport their cars overland. having to ship or airlift them increases travel costs exponentially.
>>156433184imagine the current cars except they have to superclip to save fuel too, and there's no overtaking. that's why
>>156406876
>>156433113Yes, it's true, most likely this is also one of the reasons, especially the Japanese have not behaved well with the rest of East Asia, they have always had expansionist aims for millennia, especially with Korea, even if lately Korea and Japan have become closer, thanks also to the influence of the USA in the military field.
refueling is for Americans and Australians and Japanese. we would never deign to tarnish the prestige of our perfect and magnificent World Championship with such a barbaric practice as refueling.
>>156433283US Military can have bases in Japan and South Korea. but it doesn't mean the US can make them like each other lol.
>>156433368True, but they can't have such bad relations like DPRK and South Korea, so they have to collaborate even if they hate each other.
>>156433455I wonder if the split of Korea will ever be resolved. seems like a relic of the Cold War that is kept going purely out of spite.
>>156433523It will be very difficult. The two peoples don't really hate each other. Many North Koreans would like to move to South Korea. It's just a question of governments and political influence.The mistake was in dividing Korea in two at the end of World War II, along the 38th parallel.They were united before.
>>156433660its been less than 100 years, yet the cultures between North and South are so different. German unification had problems, but Korean unification seems impossible compared to that.
>>156433759but hey, if we can be allies with those damn Brits, maybe there is hope.

see you on the next one, it is an honor posting with you all (except the Leaf)
>>156415278Grim. I had a cat that would bring fucked up birds and shit home and I had to finish them off. It never feels good.
McLaren's IndyCar moves make (somewhat) more sense when you consider that Zak Brown still wants to preserve the McLaren F1 carrot on a stick, specifically with Pato O'Ward. the team is all about making Pato happy now. teammate like Lundgaard threatening his position as number one driver? gone. adios.
>>156421912the b08/60 (and 80) are my favorite looking LMP cars, its a shame I cant find it in any type of racing sim (maybe AC has it but I dont think it would be a worthy mod)
>>156436723no variety only Formula Oreca with shitter am drivers and perhaps unlucky pro drivers stuck with them trying to salvage the race
Sports car racing
>>156437050I love sports car racing
>>156436723I'm almost sure a drove a mod of this pic related car (with this livery) in AC but by now it's too old.
>>156430626You're cool by me. Just remember that simpls allow women to be as terrible as they are today. Also, I think the general consensus here is that F1 is too much of a meme for the sporting aspect to be taken seriously. I don't care if you like it, but I don't think you'll find a lot of appreciation for it here.
>>156429993I generally enjoy the Irish schizo posting, although I don't particularly care for anyone being so directly insulting.
>>156430812>reported the Irishman several timesDon't do that shit, man. That's reddit tier. I mean, if it's porn or gore or something, then yeah, but scrolling past stuff you don't like without reacting is a skill that will significantly improve your life. Besides, we don't want to attract the attention of the jannies.
>>156433216Sounds self inflicted.
>>156441885it's the fastest strategy when refuelling is an option. it's exactly what they did in the early 00s after they had optimised it.
>>156433216Yes, fuel saving is a thing in racing. But going foot to the floor, balls to the wall racing is also a thing. Both can be strategies where refueling is allowed. I do think there is no push flat out strategy because they are forced to save fuel because they cant top off the tank in F1. I think I would rather have refueling where overtaking might take place in the pits, but there will be races where its faster to push, refuel, push, instead of fuel save.
>>156445254they aren't. F1 figured out that a car that's 50 pounds lighter and is just cruising is 0.2 seconds a lap faster than one that's 50 pounds heavier and driving at 100%. the reason they fuel save now isn't because they need to do it to make it to the end, they already start underfuelled because of the aforementioned reason (the cars have a 105kg fuel tank and no team starts with a full tank). the intentionally shit tyres that fall off immediately after two laps, plus fuel flow limits, plus simple mathematics show cruising and fuel saving is faster over a whole race.go watch a race from the early 00s, and NOBODY is going flat out. not even close. they're going 50%, because they know their fuel strategy will get them ahead in the end. the only overtakes are undefended because the cars are on different strategies. Trulli Trains existed for a reason; because nobody wanted to push and ruin their fuel strategy.
>truggs is at a reasonable time for me this weekendlets fucking go, first truggs race ill watch in months
