>>157216694reception is a bit shit, but I'll post what I can. this is them drying the track earlier.
speaking of short ovals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTWyj5npRCU
>>157216783>>157216694Looks like a fantastic place to be. Reception is always ass at a race main event, but thanks for the pics. What's the main even, late models?
>>157216822I actually logged into Amazon on Explorer and I could have just popped on YT?FML.Also, action at Rockingham dragway.https://www.youtube.com/live/HRoQn0feU1k

Oh, shit. I missed it, but those land speed Chads were at it today. https://www.youtube.com/live/GvvUolUNrVQ
>>157216943Fun! Is this the track where we had that shitbox race with the insane rain and lightning storm a little while back? That was so freaking badass.
The ceremonial antique pace car doesn't usually have to work cautions and restarts, but today it does.

WoO is livehttps://logic.icelanders.st/embed/dirtvision-4Also late to the party but I bought the WoO game for PC last week. When I say this shit is hard and extremely mentally taxing I mean it, cant even imagine how much harder it is in reality. Racing against the AI is kinda janky but still a really fun game.
>>157217017Hornets are inline 4 shitboxes, Six Shooters are V6 shitboxes.
>>157217013Oh, well, that was definitely bad ass. You guys really go hard with the racing and I love it. I haven't seen a lot of Stockcars Brazil, NASCAR Brazil or Endurance Brazil lately, but I guess it's the off season?
That ARCA race was pretty good, but that shunt-n-bump end was kino AF.
Boooooooooooooo
>>157217056So, these are modified street cars or tube frames?
>>157217092You don't like Reeves?
>>157217093street carsSportsmen are tube frame (and obviously Late Models)
>>157217104I basically just hate the JGR #18 in ARCA and whichever nepo baby is behind the wheel on a given day.They have probably 20x the budget into that car and team that someone like Kitzmiller has, and it doesn't benefit the driver at all to be playing on Very Easy mode all the time.Riley Herbst and William Sawalich were in it before and they both still suck.
>>157216783muh God muh America
>>157217149I can't fault a man for hating JGR. In fact when they said that in the post race, I suddenly understood. In don't follow ARCA too closely and I had a fun time, but>Rich team winsIs boring no matter what series it is.Bonus late models!!!>>157217155I knew a black guy who had a souther accent that would make you would think was in the KKK if you heard him on the phone that ran a Neon in a similar series in the south back in the early 2000s. Cool guy and the racing was fun ass hell. Everything was spray paint and chain link fence wind screen.
Even though I'm a Loeb>Ogier. I hope the best for Ogier.
Holy fuck, this outlaw late models race!
>>157217265For me, it's the turquoise Pontiac.
>>157217155that's it for now. phone reception is too shit, there's a ton of people here for the Trailer Race of DESTRUCTION. I'll post more pics when I get home.
Flemington Speedway mentioned
>>157217306Why did you delete that post? That was the best image yet.Whatever, post a couple when you get home. Don't get distracted by your phone at a race.
>>157217322by accident
I wish the ir28 gets smaller with time
>>157217388I've seen the DW12 many times in person, it's a lot smaller than it looks on TV. I imagine the IR28 will be the same.
>>157217407Yeah, an LMP2 car with the nose off makes a Miata look big. I was really surprised when I first saw the DW12. It looks like a really tight fit for anyone over 150 lbs. I'm sure the new car won't be too big either.
>>157217666one year outside the RLL haulers at Road America they had one of Bobby Rahal's old CART cars on display. that thing was TINY.
>>157217065Two of three series you mentioned had races today.
>>157217784I am a retarded infant. Please remind me.

>>157218113Lets go!
>Red flag 4 laps in because some fatty in the infield is having a heart attack
kek, this year they are spraying water on the track for the Trailer Race of Destruction
>>157217356Nice!Anons should treat attending races like muslims treat the hadj If you are able bodied you must attend local races as practicable
>>157218113This was a SICK race, thanks for sharing
>>157218504I'm an IndyCar and sports car racing guy, but late models can be fun. tickets are cheap. (beer is not, and no carry-ins)
dump incomingmost of my pics were the Trailer Race of Destruction, shit was gnarly
like I said they sprayed water on the track for the Tralier Race this year, new thing I guess. it certainly caused loss of traction.
first lap I think (the "before" pic)
it was hard to get good pics of the late models at speed, I think >>157218858 was the best one but here's another
late model heat race
cars lined up before the heat
Sportsman class is kind of shit, not many entries these days and a lot of them are dirt cars modified for asphalt. I didn't get many pics of them
the shitbox classes are fun. they run on the infield short(er) oval.Honda Prelude/Civic/Acura RSX, Toyota Celica, etc. are favored in the Hornets, Six Shooters are mostly the various V6 GM shitboxes like Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, etc.I feel like they could run I4 and V6 together and still have about the same amount of parity.
>>157218974getting good pics with a phone at a race in motion is purely luckI spent like 20 laps trying to get a good Willy P pic at the Long Beach GP and this was the best I got
>>157219108I have a couple of older Honda shitboxes that I bought with the intention of using in a similar fashion, unfortunately they're gonna sit until I can move, get more land, and just build the track myself. Nothing local anymore.
interview with Late Model feature winner.that's about all I got, taking pics of cars at speed is hard. was a fun night though. if you're ever in the LaCrosse, WI area I highly recommend the Fairgrounds Speedway.
>>157219152oh yeah, and I just learned tonight, you can watch past races here if you want:https://lacrossespeedway.tv/
>>157219138pls build infield road course too.damn I could go for some turnleftANDright around here. Road America is the ultimate but it's also a 3 hour drive for me.
>>157219291>Road America is the ultimate but it's also a 3 hour drive for me.That's not that bad for that level of facility, honestly. I would compare Road America to Spa in a lot of ways.Speaking of annoyingly-long drives, I'm still thinking about taking a trip for the Rolex 24 next year. Definitely going back to Sebring.
>>157219291'road' course would be the first one I do I think, pretty sure the insurance is cheaper for that vs a higher speed big oval. >>157219313Three hours isn't bad for spectating, but driving a big ass trailer with two cars in it, fuel, spares, setup, teardown, etc. It can cost a lot up front, and if you get disabled early on you basically spent a shitload of time just going to buccees for the day.
>>157219313I can't convince my Dad to go to IMSA or SRO. he doesn't like the multiple classes in sports car racing. so we go to IndyCar and local late models.
>>157219352>bucceesdon't think we have those in WI. Kwik Trip is basically a monopoly.
>>157219313I shouldn't have to drive all the way to fuckass Florida to see a 24 hour sports car race.
>>157219613or a 12 hour (Sebring)6 hours is a start for Road America. but we need MORE
>Road Atlanta>10 hoursseems only fair the other Road, America, gets 10 hours too.

BIG JUANU
>>157219790SEPPUKU!
>>157219133we'll see how Markham and DC go, but I think Long Beach is still the "crown jewel" street race in IndyCar. Arlington was pretty good though. and St. Pete is good, but Long Beach has the history.
crown jewels in IndyCar, in my opinion:>superspeedwayIndy, duh>short ovalMilwaukee>road courseRoad America>street courseLong Beach
Tarps out not a good sign
>>157219613Sounds like a (you) problem.
>>157219933fuck the France familybut John Doonan is a Road America guy, that's good enough for me
I really like St PeteFirst race of the year, most beautiful time of year in west Florida, water and palm trees, best parts of the city
>>157219977a real marina, unlike Formula 1's FAKE marina
>>157219987holy fuck, when did this happen?
>>157220001About 20 minutes ago, they extracted the driver (Igor Fraga) and en route to a hospital, last update says he is concious and was on the radio saying he's okay.
>>157220001Right after a restart on like lap four.
>>157219987Welp, time to put roof flaps on Super GT cars.>>157220001Just a little while ago, race is red flagged now.
>>157219987A friendly reminder that any series can produce blowovers, especially if you end up ass-first in the direction you'd previously been traveling at speed.
>>157220020fuuuckhope he will be ok
>>157219987I'm honestly fucking amazed it took all these years for a Class 1 blowover especially with how many miles they've run at Fuji specifically. They're only marginally better in the "really bad ideas" category of high speed sports car aerodynamic safety than Gen 3.5 DPs were.
>>157220034This. Aero works both ways. My four year old just said that when cars go backwards they fly. She understands this lol
fuck, thanks for keeping posted on the Super GT Anons. I doubt this bar has RACER+ lol
>>157220034A friendly reminder to shut the fuck up retard. A Spec Miata isn't going to blow over unless you tow it behind an airplane.
Another angle
>>157220053if you think about it, it's the same design as an airplane, but in reverse. planes want to create lift to fly, race cars want to create downforce to stick to the track. when shit gets fucked up, the aerodynamics can react in ways that might not have been anticipated.
>>157220034>>157220084At last I truly seeThe best racing is done with bricks that couldn't produce downforce if they wanted to
>>157220098damnnnn
>>157220111Correct, but sometimes aircraft can exhibit almost impossible manuvers, not intended or engineered into their designs. The F14 for example, with how it can stall and be operated basically in reverse for some aerobatics that no other plane can do, are extreme examples of how much aero isn't known until it's fully put to the test by pros.
where are the standings for this supergt race? i want to know how the hondas are doing
>>157220116Mustang GT3/GT4/Supercars has plenty of downforce
>>157220116That piece of shit would blow over though.
>>157220116>>157220148Most people don't know this, but a Lexus LS400 is more aerodynamic than a contemporary Porsche 911...
>>157220140shame they destroyed most of the F14 Tomcats to prevent sale of their technology/parts to Iran.don't get me started on the foreign policy failings of our country over the decades.
>>157220141https://supergt.net/en/driver_ranking
>>157220209thanks buddy
>>157220290no problem, fellow Jap race enjoyer
this is Kakunoshin Ohta's first Super GT pole. and he's leading the Super Formula championship standings. he's the type of guy that wants full control of the setup of the car, no co-driver. perfect for IndyCar. do it, Honda. give him a chance.
migu
if I dont see Ohta and Felipe Nasr in IndyCar in 2028. I will be extremely upset.fuck these pay drivers and F2/F3 drivers that will "settle" for IndyCar. I want proven winner guys that want to be in IndyCar.

>>157221641>Have to do some prep work to moveFucking god damn it, sucks to miss a lot of this (my living situation is improving ten fold though)
>>157218858>I'm an IndyCar and sports car racing guyA man of culture, I see. But yeah, I'd rather go to IMSA or IndyCar and I do, but the only tracks particularly bear me are dirt, short ovals and drag strips. I don't follow any of that style of racing, but it's definitely fun to go see them run. It is so important to go out and support your local community, especially the racing community, because we see tracks shutting down and turned into sovless housing developments and amazon distribution centers all the time.>>157218873>Trailer RaceI remember the first time I ever saw one of these. It was on that Speedvison show Lucas Oil On the Edge, which apparently MAVTV has brought back.Thanks for all the pics!
>>157219028That's a pretty good one. How did my turquoise Pontiac do in the six shooters?
>>157221712pic related.>>157221738did ok, but didn't win the feature race.
>>157219108>the shitbox classes are funSo, I noticed this watching Miatas, but the grip to speed/power allows them to get away with shit that would wipe out half the feild in bigger cars, so they can just go pretty much as hard as they want. Of course, I like the bigger cars and I appreciate the skill it takes to drive them, but you don't need to have a fancy car and spend a million bucks to have a good race.>>157219291>Road America is the ultimate but it's also a 3 hour drive for me.Road Atlanta is my closest track and it's about 4.5 hours, which is acceptable for Petit. My rule of thumb is that I don't want to drive to a race where the one way trip is longer than the actual race.
>>157221712>Thanks for all the pics!no problem, I tried. I feel like it's easier to get good pics at Road Amerca in turn 5. they go down the long straight and then have to brake hard, then go up the hill under the Corvette bridge into turn 6. relatively slow speeds through there, you can get a good phone pic sometimes.
>>157218974>it was hard to get good pics>>157219133>getting good pics with a phone at a race in motion is purely luckIt is really hard from the stands. Places where you can get close to the track are a bit easier, but getting good pics at night is extremely difficult, even under stadium lighting.

>>157219851>Long Beach is still the "crown jewel" street race in IndyCar. In the world. Maybe Surfers or Adelaide, but that has a lot to do with the cars. They are much more robust and can handel the bumps and walls better. I don't have high hopes for Markham and DC because most street courses are kind of crap their first year, but I'm ready to be surprised. >>157219977>I really like St PeteYeah, it's another good one. As you said, it's a nice part of the state at a nice time ofnyear. The inclusion of the runway is neat and they have been running it long enough that everyone has it pretty well figured out. I'm glad to see Trucks is coming back, but I do miss sports cars running there.>>157219985>Formula 1's FAKE marinaThat is so cringe and embarrassing.
>>157221860I'm convinced Roger Penske keeps a NASCAR team for the sole purpose of the Frances have to consider him when they try to play their games to screw IndyCar.
>>157219987>>157220020>Igor FragaHey, I recognize that name from Brazilian stuff.>>157220167Then, they destroyed all the ones Iran had in this stupid war. At least we get extra European races out of it, I guess.
>but what about the Penske IMSA teamthat's all passion, you have to know that Roger Penske was a really good sports car driver before he quit driving to focus on team ownership.
>>157221959allegedly. but that is a topic for another board. let's keep it on motor racing.

Indy car racing is more than just Indiana, despite the name, I truly believe that.
>>157221831Road Courses are absolutely easier to get pics at. For Road Atlanta, it's between turns 6 and 7. The straight is really short and you can get really close on the inside.
>>157221852>Mark Martin Viagra Taurus mouse That's pretty freaking based.

>>157222053>waiting for my pizza to bake...ngl, I will probably not be in the IMSA Road America thread. I might catch the end, but I will watch the full race later.
>>157222018You're not wrong, but the global economy isn't what it used to be either. Especially shipping and logistics. I'm really glad WEC still goes to Japan and is back in Brazil, but I don't see a lot of overseas races until we get the sand people to chill the fuck out and I'm beginning to doubt that will ever happen.
>>157222055Same and checked. That Valkyrie image is from my 5 year old Samsung. I was just illustrating your point that road courses are easier to get pics at.>>157222065Take care of yourself, anon.
>>157222071I hate that FIA has the audacity to call their Euro-centric series, "World Championships", but in this case, yes, more races in Europe, where fans will show up to the track, less races in the Middle East where it's just a flex for oil money and nobody is there.

>>157228174>blaming Honda for IMSA's retardation
Tonight on Flo there's a 100-car 200-lap enduro at Thunder Road. But the 31 street stocks on track before it sure looks similar.No stream for you guys thoughbeit.
Well, that IMSA race was kind of a flaming bag of dog shiet, but I can't think of a finer group of folks to have watched it with.Thanks, guys.
I have been proven wrong. Get the fuck in here.https://timstreams.st/watch/enduro-200-street-stock-special-at-thunder-road-speedbowl
Trouble
So we're in agreement that 6 Hours of Road America isn't enough, right?
>>157228795Yeah, alright, that's pretty fucking bad ass.
>>157228795>Just leaving dead vehicles on trackBased >Vans mating out there, kek.Man, this is great. We all get so serious about racing we often forget the first rule of racing is to have fun.RIP Satanic Mechanic. Thanks, anon.Everyone, please always post links to whatever you're watching. You just might make someone's day.God, this is so based.
>>157229073yesbut IMSA race control needs to unfuck itself
>>157229073I heard they banned private golf carts, only allowing rental ones. Are you still allowed to bring a pit bike and ride it around? Or is the place just a golf cart filled nightmare?
>smoke out of the 420
>>157229199Yeah, you'll get that once in a while. This is such a fantastic palette cleanser after the diarrhea IMSA race control took in our mout today.>Dennys nephew
>>157229171IMSA Race Control has been fucked for as long as I've been watching.>>157229193I don't remember RA ever allowing private golf carts, but you are allowes to use mopeds, motorcycles and those grom things most places.
>>157228795How can we, motor/sp/orts, enter a car in this race?What would we enter?What would our team name be?I'm good for $500
>The report suggests that Fox and The CW would split the linear television rights. With neither Fox nor The CW operating a general streaming service, FloSports would provide a streaming option for the NHRA. A deal between the sides has not yet been signed.Thanks i hate it.
>>157229273Living in New England (or upstate New York) would be a good start, but there's probably an enduro at a track closer to you.
>>157229336Nah, I escaped that frozen hell in my childhood and I ain't going back. The closest thing we have here is dirt 4 cylinder races.
>>157229331>Thanks i hate it.At this point, I think that is the main point in these negotiations.
>>157229331NHRA is cool and all, but it doesn't make for good television
>>157229376Well then I can't help you. A bunch of tracks do them up here.
That reminds me, there was one anon that either posted here or on /o/ who did enduros in Maine or something.
>>157229398Are you insane? There is a huge build up of anticipation, an incredible moment of excitement and the best analysis in the entirety of motorsports.
LMAO
>>157229398I disagree, they have a good pace and show everything really well. If you want a series that struggles to make good television you look at WRC.
It looks cool
>>157229944it will be fast toohttps://racer.com/2026/08/02/palou-expects-track-records-to-fall-with-ir28-after-second-day-of-testing
>>157230128Its almost as if building a chassis with a tub over the cockpit and a lead weight in the back in mind helps performance. The current Indycar has to be one of the bigger Frankenstein monster racing cars in modern autosports.
>Mesdames et messieurs, je vous présente votre champion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFz4TGC6h7U
My fiancé's nephew did enjoy the race, and stated that he would go again. He also said that he enjoyed Indycar more, and he and fiancé said that IMSA was too hard to follow.
lmao
>>157229877Rally in general is just a bad spectator sport. It lasts all day and covers a hundred miles of backroad. Going in person just to see a car zip by every 3 minutes. At least on TV there are onboards and heli cams.
>>157231792Love their moneyHate their driving
>And I just think that the driving by some of the others around us was over the line.t. Jack Aitken
redpill me on the formula drift saga that happened. my YT is lighting up with videos.
>>157232336They ran an event using a shitty infield access road at IRP that is not suitable for any sort of high speed anything so the shitters all smashed their shit and the actual pros were canceled when the infield flooded.
>>157212754>>157212829>yfw the final segment of this clip may look very similiar to...
>>157233083>... this one, but the 23 got a DT for it
>>157233090Such a horseshit call. I could maybe see it if the field was spread out so the Aston only loses a place or two but to basically say "You get to finish last for that tap :) is absurd. What were they thinking.
>>157229944Picture this:Indycar wet race
>Asian Le Mans Series>look inside>Europe
>>157233620Even worse when you realize most of the Asian countries are Middle Eastern.
will they adopt nascar flaps now?
>>157233083>>157233090It Aitken shunting the yellow Porsche off didn't get a penalty, the Valkyrie doesn't deserve one either.
>>157234138>08/02/2026 5:40 PM INCIDENT INVOLVING CARS 31 & 6 TO BE REVIEWED POST-SESSION
>>157234138b8
please, someone tell me there's a software eng career path into motorsports from building screenslop for "luxury" carsan opportunity came up and I might take it
>>157234305Software is vital for tuning modern fuel injected cars, odds are you could work in the aftermarket performance field. Every time a new car comes out the guys at those places have to work on cracking the computer to use tuning software.
Jeff Gordon added to the Chase.
>>157234222>>157234285I am saying the 23 getting a penalty and the 31 not getting one is retarded.
>>157234305idk about it being a path but DO take an interest in fpga's, a lot of performace ECU's have one integrated to support more advanced signal processing. That skill would be a good addition.

So in 2027 we get wsbk with BOP and the new moto gp bikes which will be kinoAnd then in 2028 the new indycarWe are in for some good times
>>157235916>So in 2027 we get wsbk with BOPSo race rigging comes to 2 wheels then?Yeah fuck that, I already wasn't watching much of wsbk, I now have the last reason not to watch any of it.
>>157235706If you beat them, they win.
>>157235916>new moto gp bikes which will be kinololnothey will be slow and have less cool tech than sbks and
>>157236024Dude just let one bike win all the races in the season, why dont you go and watch f1 you engineer cockrider>>157222256 go and dont come back,
>>157236064Less aero and no holeshot device means the rider will matter more, fucking engineer faggot >>157222256
My favourite athlete? That ramdom ass engineer fag in the paddock
>>157236089If one rider is winning its because the rest are just dog shit and cant get their act together, Id rather watch that than some commie racing series where bikes/cars are slowed down or made go faster so that every fucking spastic retard can win a prize.Keep watching your fake scripted racing that gets won by whoever hands over the fattest white envelop to fia/fim, only dumb npc's love eating up that rigged slop.
>>157234305There's a company (likely private equity group, I haven't investigated it) that has been buying up a lot of aftermarket ECU tuning companies. That would be where I would probably try to go if I were you, then you can branch out to whatever racing company you want to work with.
>>157233291Its the only way that Portland remains interesting
>>157221852Soul
>@bobpockrass>INDYCAR will now run 250 miles in its Freedom 250 grand prix at Washington. It was 125 laps on the 1.7-mile course but now will be 147 laps. Will certainly test the drivers.
>>157237586considering how they are pushing it like they did with nashville, what are the odds for flooding, asteroid impacts, volcano eruptions or other catastrophic events screwing with the event?
had a dream the Targa Florio returned as a touring car/GT4 race
>>157237586>1(47) lapskek, shitters kino inbound
>>157237586goodwhy the fuck would it not be 250 miles in the first place
>>157237586>>157238166what are the odds wbux is going to make a snooker joke which only hollywood harvey will understand?
>>157238256Imagine Streets of DC, except it's 152 laps instead of 100, it's August in Washington DC and everyone is going in completely blind without even sim data.
>>157238776>Streets of DC*Detroit
>>157237702Well, I have several hundred dollars invested in travel and accommodations, so it's pretty much guaranteed to get fucked up. Also, terrorist attack didn't even make your list?My biggest concern is some unemployed TDS faggot track invasion or something. Trump can eat my ass, btw, but you know the people I'm talking about.
>>157235916It already has BoP it just doesn't work. (and never has) WSS has aggressive BoPshittery and all it has accomplished is making really dumb people think Chinese sport bikes are good.>>157236064They aren't going to be slow, Superbikes will be slow because they're going to get the crap ass tires. Some hokey holeshot device is not meaningful tech, it's just a basic exploitation of poorly written suspension rules.>>157236254Have you considered watching soccer like non-whites are supposed to>>157238256212 miles was already really long for a street race. Road America was 220 miles and took 1h51m, Long Beach was 177 miles and took 1h49m, it this shit ends up as slow as Toronto last year it will be like 2h50m, or put another way it could take longer than some 500 mile races.
>>157240823>it could take longer than some 500 mile races.Those races are run at ~200mph.
>>157240985Yeah and these are run at under 100
>>157240823Non whites watch "sports" where the engineers are the protagonist, alphas watch spec or series where the rider/driver can actually make a difference otherwise its not a sport
>>157241141Try to come up with some thoughts that make sense you fucking ESL monkey
IT'S HAPPENING
>>157241394Wow that sure would have been cool without a bunch of gay social media acting to make it really lame.
>>157241405par for the course in the year of our lord 2026
>>157240823you don't call it a 250, or a 500, or whatever number, in the USA, unless it is that amount of miles!>Gateway calls it a 500 (kilometers)fuck that shit. what the fuck is a kilometer? this is AMERICA
>>157241394>>157241405This is getting filed under "who cares?" Jimmie runs like shit. We'd get entirely too much "remember Jimmie Johnson?" in the pre-race and probably even during the race, only for him to crash embarrassingly after running in the back for the entire race up to that point.I do not understand the old driver obsession with humiliating themselves on track and tarnishing their reputations.
if it's kilometers in that country, fine. Bathurst 1000. but what grinds my gears is>Suzuka 1000km>timed race under SRO, may or may not get to 1000kmstop with the fucking LIES
>>157241577Every WEC 1000 Miles of Sebring was time limited. Petit Le Mans had a distance limit until the 1000 miles was dropped after NASCAR bought it.
>>157241683LIESGO THE DISTANCE
>>157241825>Two circuits unite to wipe out the poorfag menace once and for all
>>157241683petit le mans was 10 hours or 1000 miles whichever came first from the beginning, they dropped the distance since they never never reached it

>>157240823>it this shit ends up as slow as Toronto last year it will be like 2h50m, or put another way it could take longer than some 500 mile races.>Open wheel endurance racing >>157241522>you don't call it a 250, or a 500, or whatever number, in the USA, unless it is that amount of miles! This always bothered me with things like the Food City 500. It would take 939 laps to do 500 miles at Bristol BTW. I can't imagine we'd have more than 10 cars left by the end.
>>157241825Appropriate file name
>>157242720The auto generated captions work pretty well . Thanks.
>>157242129They achieved 1000 miles every time except 2009, but that race didn't reach 10 hours either. They dropped the distance because NASCAR wanted the race to end at a consistent time like all the other races.
>>157234516>>157235386>>157236649thanks for the info, lads

>>157243696asscar should not be allowed to own IMSA
https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/imsa-evaluating-mandatory-gtd-pro-entry-for-every-gtd-brand/What is IMSA doing? I like factory-backed GT teams but mandating them for manufacturers doesn't seem wise.
>>157245056no this is good. all-pro GT lineups are awesome. pay drivers tongue my anus.
>>157216606
>>157245056It sounds like greed and pushing customer teams out of the top rung of GT racingThen again it could alleviate funding concerns teams have, which Pfaff is pulling out of GTD Pro overOn the other hand you could have teams in a weird spot where they have 3 pro drivers contracted but no factory money/resources and thus are ineligible for both GTD and GTD ProIMSA is creating problems for themselves where there were none. Fans like seeing plucky customer teams like AO Racing succeed against factory backed efforts.
What the fuck did he mean by this.Guess how many full season GTD-Pro entries don't receive factory support. Hint: it's less than one.
>>157245056Cockblocking manufacturers that won't spend more money as usual.

Not without previous precedent they really shouldn't have relatively low gantries over the back half of a 1 mile straight.
Indycar should make power steering totally optional. I know they want wahmen in the sport but adding weight when it was never necessary before should be optional
