Thanks for the bake Habsburg bro
>>157385082BAMF is based
>>157385082>>157385637yes, danke for the bake>tfw missing the vrooms next weekend due to my new job
>>157385268DC will go off without a problem, you do NOT embarass Roger Penske.
Did racing win or lose this weekend.
>>157386568W
Some might say big weekend for sportscar racing.
>>157386764some might say VIR needs to upgrade their facilities to run GTP. (also Mosport, and Mid-Ohio)
Not a car I was expecting to appear at a Concours d'Elegance
>>157386966I thought there was another one there. Did they take it out to Laguna Seca?
>>157386966why not? objectively the best car Mazda has ever made.
>>157386979objection.
>>157386976I think Mazda has retired the 1991 LM winner from running even demo laps.
>>157386989your evidence?
>>157386999The 787B, and 5 and 6 rotor motors that you can buy today.
>>157386979It's more of a posh /o/ thing than "modern" (post 1950s) motorsports. They have a "Japanese Motorsport" category this year and it's even more out of place. I'm a GT7nigger so I'm waiting which car Kazunori will choose to scan it into the game in 10 years time.
>>157387012Just noticed it was the 787 and not the 767. I thought I saw a 767 there. Disregard.
>>157387016
>>157387012??? 787B was first Jap car to win LMMazda has been all downhill since then
>>157387031>>157387025My bad, maybe I'm having a stroke lol.
>>157386976They took the 767 to Laguna, I think. The white 787 is also at Pebble Beach.
>>157387016I don't have a PlayStation since PS2 (PC Master Race) so I don't play GT7 but I heard there will be a fictional GT3 version in GT7 of the Mazda Gran Turismo concept car. fucking LAME. MAKE A REAL CAR
>>157386053Yeah but the layout sucks and I want a fucking hairpin. They should add two, actually.
>>157387066It's an Evo version of the fictional GT3 car already in the game which is a whole new level of laminess
>>157387091not my problem, I gotta work so I can't watch live, I will catch the replay later
>>157387102Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi are all fucking disappointing now.>b...but MX-5 Cupwhen I see a convertible, I see compromised chassis rigidity.
>>157387043it's all good Anon
>>157386966>BBS wheels on the backVolk/RAYS seething
>>157386966>>157387281>Goodyear tiresthe Dunlop sticker is right there... they even shilled Dunlop's re-entry to the US market on the Laguna Seca historic broadcast kek
>>157387016>>157387066Some advice lads, Stay away from Grand Turdismo 7, Its all been downhill since 5
>>157387327>since 4fixed
>>157387327That was the deserved backlash when he released GT7 with always online, a stupid barebones career and a complete grind to buy some of the cars, he did fix some of it with updates. However, even with it's flaws, there's still no game that can accurately digitally represent a car as well as GT, not even close.
>my neighbor, who isn't into racing at all>asked me about Louis Foster's crash at Markhamthe times are changing bros...
>>157386979Thats not the RX-7.
Great choice, Kaz
>>157387442yes, RX-7 won the Bathurst 12 Hour multiple times back when it was for production cars and not GT3's. but does that compare to the 787B being the first Japanese car to win Le Mans overall?
Mazda, create the RX-9, make a GT3 version, and also create a rotary engine LMH/LMDh. ez.REGAIN YOUR FORMER GLORY
Subaru and Mitsubishi get your asses back in WRC.Nissan idk lol. unfuck yourselves.
>>157387482I guess we have different views on best, i think the Rx-7 has much more lasting power as a recognizable car among people and was also competitive and winning races for a longer period of time. Not to discount winning the overall at lemons but i think the quantity is better for the RX-7. Opinions of course! Both are all time greats.
>>157387612>i think the Rx-7 has much more lasting power as a recognizable car among peopleyou're not wrong, but this is motor/sp/ort and not /o/.
to me, production cars are only cool if they win on the track, or the rally stage. otherwise they are just transportation appliances. like a refrigerator.
increase the production requirements. bring back mass-produced homologation specials like the Skyline GT-R, Impreza WRX, Lancer Evolution. force the manufacturers to make cool cars for the road if they want to win in racing. fuck all this SUV slop.
>noo but I want my exclusive brands in GT3fuck off Stephane Ratel, that's just codeword for European brands.
>>157387869It really is.I think Stephane would have a stroke if the Mustang won its class championship in LMGT3.The Corvette Z06.R already won the GTD Pro championship over in IMSA. It's a legitimately good race car (and getting a Evo package next year).Euros just start getting assblasted when Americans do what they do, but better.
>>157387570>Nissan idk lol. unfuck yourselves.Imagine not being able to make a decent GT4. Even fucking Maserati is making a GT4.(Chevy please make a Camaro GT4)
>>157385866Congratulations on the new job, anon. Sucks you gotta miss races. You should keep looking until you can find a job where you are off weekends.
>>157386568Ford winning Cup and especially that IndyCar race really made the weekend a success. Despite being a turbo slurper at the beginning, an unfamiliar track and Palou starting so far back allowed us to have a mad scramble for positions all over the feild, competetive front runners including a Coyne near victory on strategy with Grosjean of all people and a late race dash to the front for a last minute win, even if it was Ericsson. You really couldn't ask for much more.
>>157387825I know its just your usual zeroIQ baitYou cry for more production based championships, then you will come back here to cry that all your favourite championships switched to race suvs and EV-s, because due to the production requirements, the manufacturers lobbied out rules which align with their production goalsAutosport does not have that leverage than 30 years ago. Now the same amount of car sold by some clever tik tok celebrity endorsement as motorsport programs. Already 30 years ago the wishes of manufacturers dominated rulemaking. If you try to strongarm manufacturers you will remain with none lol in your championshipWhen not even fjuan has the leverage to force manufacturers to do something they dont really want, no other can
>>157391460
What if Bubba Wallace was a white guy this whole time and he just made himself look black like Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal?
So the Valkyrie and 499p had a child?
Are we back?Zilisch to the 48 in 2028
>>157392107You mean the 963 and 499P
https://www.jayski.com/2026/08/17/hendrick-motorsports-signs-connor-zilisch/
>>157387311Sumitomo probably couldn't be bothered to make tires that size.
>>157387869>>157388120what, and especially, who the fuck do you two think you're seething about exactly
Yuki Tsunoda is negotiating with Meyer Shank (Indycar).
wtf, Racer Magazine is dead?
>>157392293Now Sato is gone Indycar needs its new Japanese twink
>>157392246The guy responsible for GT3 regulations being upset that 'Pleb' brands like Ford, Chevy, and (soon) Toyota are able to make cars that are as fast as Europe's "exclusive" marques like Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari.It's an attitude that reeks of aristocratic disdain and an unwillingness to grow sports car racing.>>157392107It literally just looks like the 499P to me.
>>157392634>The guy responsible for GT3 regulations being upset that 'Pleb' brands like Ford, Chevy, and (soon) Toyota are able to make cars that are as fast as Europe's "exclusive" marques like Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari.complete and utter schizo shit
>>157392203>>157392216/ourtwink/ will make JJ proud
>>157392216>>157392203I prefer him getting the seat over Day so i like the move but it still seems really early to announce this, its not like anybody else was going to grab Zilisch and you never know how the market might change.
this seems like a thread for complete retards somethingjesus christ
>>157392773Ya seethe?
I can't believe we had a good street race in the hybrid dw12 era
>>157392806no u!
41 trucks entered this weekend, most since Daytona>the part-time trucks from Niece, McAnally, Rackley WAR, and Spire are all entered>Breidinger in the 26 so Sutton has to time his way in>56, 69, 93 entered but no 90 shitbox>third HFR truck for Michael Christopher Jr
>>157392328Guess so
>>157390715meh, as long as I can watch the IndyCar replays on YouTube I'm good.
>>157392883>most open NASCAR series gets the most entries in spite of having the fewest starters
>>157392216Wait, when did Blowman announce his retirement?
>>157393717After someone blew his back, 4 real no cappin!
>>157386947It's not worth it, spiritually speaking. VIR is like Willow Springs or Brands Hatch or Oulton Park or any number of other British tracks. You might be able to bring them up to spec for faster cars, but it would cost them too much sovl.>If we moved the wall back 50 feet here, cut down all these old trees, widened the gravel trap and put paved runoffs everywhere, we could get you up to a Grade 2.It's just not worth it to alter a historic track that much for one or two weekends a year when you have club racing and smaller series to keep the lights on.Also, I know Willow Springs is in California.
>>157387612>think the Rx-7 Was in more Japanese cartoons, is the rest of that sentence.
>>157387132
>>157387415I'm pretty sure we can thank Fox for that.
>>157393974no cap fr fr bowman is cooked
>>157392634The major issue with GT3 now is they are doing things ass backwards. The whole idea was >You make a street can and we'll make rules to turn it into a race car.Now, they are doing the whole homo ligation special thing, which would be based if the production requirements were something like 10,000 units a year.I think the Corvette was reasonably well adapted, but the Mustang, Toyota and Hyundai are definitely not.
Brehs, my gpu has arrived, and now i can watch vrooms again, but i still need to blow all the dust in my rig 1st, because 3 fucking months without life sucks.>>157394107I really hate oblivion with brainrot pt2 for introducing me to this lingo.
>>157391764I miss wearing a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt and open flannels over band shirts.
>>157392107Man, that is very... basic looking. The liveries are going to be doing a ton of heavy lifting on that thing.
do we want Yuki? idk
>>157392873That was almost exclusively because Palou biffed it in the second round of qualifying. If he had made the fast 6, he would have won easily and it would have been boring.
>>157394160>my gpu has arrivedBased and Godspeed, anon.
>>157394202Why not? He's a good, clean driver and pretty humble. I think he'd be good for the series.
>>157394267Didn't he crash a lot? Also, he seems to be TOO dull for IndyCar. We need drivers with personality, but idk.
>>157394374He crashed Max's mouse sensitivity x1000 car a lot.>We need drivers with personality, but idk.I agree, but if he sucks no one will notice, besides he can't be worse than the current crop we have. I mean Foster and Malukas are standout personality among the under 40 crew and they are pretty moderate. The world can only handle one Will Power. Also, he went from 25th to 3rd on Andretti equipment and with and Andretti pit crew. That was probably the most impressive thing that happened yesterday.
>>157394537Maybe he can bring some anime liveries and cute race queens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocya8hbsWbE
>>157394202we want Kakunoshin Ohta, he actually wants to do IndyCar, instead of settling for it like all these F1/F2/F3 rejects
>>157394922They drop to the name though. A thought is they use Yuki as their Indycar “test” driver for one year so come ‘28 with their charter they toss Ohta in their factory car.
>>157394922compile data, and feedback from the final year of the DW12 with a “vet”, who speaks Japanese, who has driven fag1 so paired with MSR support they are competing.
>>157395011>who speaks Japanesewhy does that matter? have you heard any interviews with Ohta? he's perfectly fluent in English.
>>157395051I get you’re pulling for him but if Honda was going to toss him in a car before 2028 they wouldve already silenced the chatter on the 66. With Schumacher, Yuki, someone with payroll, all gunning for the seat, if I’m MSR, Yuki is the perfect bridge driver. Come 2028 Honda will have their own charter, who knows what CGR decides to do with their alliance, and gives MSR an edge with a potential Honda factory alliance, having a Japanese driver. I understand he speaks English but why not have a fellow Japanese driver in the series for easier dissection of data, and the only way to do that is over two years with the charters.
>>157395192does Tsunoda even have Honda backing anymore?
I like Yuki Tsunoda, his English is good and he had a good attitude about running dirt late models with Zilisch and SVG on one of the Red Bull challenge videos.
>>157395560This will be super queer unless he's surrounded by casino bunnies during the prerace.
Now featuring less intersections, more cut down trees, and not even attempting to hide the likelihood the race ends up at The Bend anyways.>that runoff at the second chicane aligned to the road instead of the track layoutjej. I also like how turn 3 has more runoff than the rest of the track combined sitting on top of where the current paddock is.
>>157395320No but someone rich will cover a year of him at MSR. Honda isn’t willing to sponsor a car outright one year removed from having their own team.
>gimmie>>157392744zilly is chevy's pet project, so it makes sense to put him in the factory team before he gets frustrated and either ford or the cheatin' yoders snatches him, the interesting part now is what will hms do with day, put him in a spire car? end the experiment and send him back to the dirt tracks or larson finally snaps and retires with day taking over the 5?
>>157394003VIR can 100% run GTP, so could Lime Rock even. It's only GT only because it's in the middle of nowhere, it's not owned by the France family, and it's not Road America. I don't even know how you could pretend otherwise when they race at Gaytona, Watkins Ditch, and Road Atlanta but I guess you were desperate for some weird way to whine about white people again you fucking lying (redundant) shitskin
Who deserves to be put into the wall next?
>>157396841anyone but Logano. he has a championship to win
>>157396547Does Day have any big sponsor behind him? Maybe Ally(The 48 sponsor) or Red Bull (For Zilitch) pushed Hendrick to take him over Day.
Who replaces Zilisch?
>>157394430>DTMWTC
>>157392107Sounds nice.https://xcancel.com/Mark_Whitelegge/status/2089289135882203144
>>157392661He's not wrong.>How can you have a $30,000 car racing a $300,000 Ferrari?https://www.dailysportscar.com/2026/05/06/ratel-reflects-on-20-years-of-gt3-its-surpassed-all-my-wildest-expectations.html
>>157397859you apparently missed the part of this quote where he says>at the beginningthe way you go on you apparently think this>beginningwas this year and not 20 years ago
>>157397874What? He's literally talking about the current Mustang. He called it a "threat from below".https://de.motorsport.com/allgemeines/news/ford-mustang-gt3-und-toyota-gr-gt3-stephane-ratel-sehr-besorgt-22031101/8893084/>He sees the same danger at the Mustang: "The next car on which the GT3 Ferrari will be based [the 296 GTB] costs, if I'm not mistaken, on the American market 280,000 dollars. A Mustang costs 28,000 dollars in America, which is exactly ten percent.He is not talking about 20 years ago.
>>157397893>He's literally talking about the current Mustang. He called it a "threat from below".finebut you both are still wrong about Toyota which he didn't see too cheap i.e. "pleb" but too expensiveand the danger that is for the class' existence, not him seething that car beats another, that's the schizo shit
>>157397934Not really. Yes, he warned about the GR GT3 being like the MC12 and the Ford GT of the past, but the OP was right that Ratel looks down on certain brands. I don't think the guy who makes comments like>Ratel refers here to the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), with which he once collaborated on the "Super Racing Weekend". "It started beautifully with Alfa Romeo and BMW. Then converted Chevrolets started winning races, and one got out. In the end, they arrived at Lada, and that was the end.">“I used to say, GT3 is like the platinum dome of the most prestigious manufacturers and iconic models. I think we have taken a bit of a risk by allowing cars that are neither iconic nor very prestigious,”And all the comments he made about the Mustang across multiple interviews thinks too highly of Toyota, the company best known for the the Corolla, Yaris and Hilux. So no, it's not schizo shit. The OP was literally on the money about 2 of the 3 brands he cited, based on Ratel's own words. At most he won't hate the GR GT for being based on a cheap model.
>>157397985>Yes, he warned about the GR GT3 being like the MC12 and the Ford GT of the pastthank you for agreeingyou can go and have a cry about his real or imagined feelings now
>>157398157Why are you like this? Are you 12? The guy talked about how Ratel looks down on certain brands and that's correct, I posted several articles where he does just that, specifically for Ford and Chevy, two of the three brands he mentioned. You struggled to even understand the first article I posted and tried to spin it, just so you can "win" an online argument that started because you just called someone a buzzword without even attempting to disprove his point.You are everything that is wrong with this site in its current state. An immature, low-quality poster. I was like this too, 14 years ago. It's time to grow up.
>>157398185this high quality discussion that started with two americans being like this>>157387869>>157388120fuck off
>>157395560Time to send another $100 to Lionel I guess
The feared short field for NHMS has not occurred, as there will be 31 modifieds attending. Ryan Preece and Ryan Newman are racing, along with Justin Bonsignore for his first start after bitching out of the full season.
>>157397985You're ignoring that Chevy in WTCC wasn't the Chevy in NASCAR or drag racing even, it was a Korean shitbox brand in those markets. The Lacetti/Optra was a 12k car in Canada.Shitstangs are the inevitable result of the "just bop it lul" mindset, GT3 lives under the constant existential threat of memes like "FIAT Punto GT3" becoming real which makes them sensitive to going too far outside of cars that would exist in a real GT class.
>>157395560Lol, poor Hocivar.

>>157400355What a shame. Its return didn't last that long. As F1 circuits go it's rather unique for having more heavily banked corners than anywhere else.
>>157352202
>>157400484First two are great. Last one isn't so good. From a distance it'll just look like a Verizon livery.
>>157400497I think in overhead shots you'll see the stars better, but yeah it is a bit more basic than the others.
>>157397893>A Mustang costs 28,000 dollars in America$33,000 and that's the turbo 4 cylinder. A proper V8 Mustang GT is about $46,000, which is an automotive steal when you consider a Miata is $30k and a new Corvette is $80k (good luck gettinga new one under $100k). It's actually a pretty decent car with a nice motor, good gear box and an acceptable independent rear suspension. They aren't a lot of new cars on the market I'd rather have besides the exotics he is comparing it to. The thing is, it doesn't compete with their performance. They had to drastically change the Mustand GTD so much it's a different car. The street version is somewhere around $328,000, if you can get them tonsell you one, so it can't be argued that its a poorfag car. The problem is that they didn't take the Mustang GT and modify it. They made a race car and then made a street version a.k.a. It's a homologation special, which is the opposite of what GT3 started out as and at least part of what keeps killing sports car racing.
>>157400520>It's actually a pretty decent car with a nice motor, good gear box and an acceptable independent rear suspension. They aren't a lot of new cars on the market I'd rather have besides the exotics he is comparing it to.I agree with this for the most part. I have a friend that has one with some mods, and they have a good bit of power. They're really fucking big though, but that's just the way things have progressed for just about all cars.
>He sees the same danger with the Mustang: "The next car on which the GT3 Ferrari will be based [the 296 GTB] costs, if I'm not mistaken, $280,000 on the American market. A Mustang costs $28,000 in America, that's exactly ten percent."He's acting as though the GTD is the same as a base model Ecoboost but ok>"If you were to put a Mustang and a Ferrari on the track, this car would have no chance of beating the Ferrari. Using Balance of Performance here is a distortion and a complete abuse of the concept of Balance of Performance."He's grossly misinformed about what cars like the GTD or Cobra Jet can do but ok>The Balance of Performance (BoP) was introduced to equalize vehicles, but only those from a similar price and prestige class. "The moment you overdo it and push it to the point where a car costing only ten percent of the money can beat another car, I don't know how much longer the renowned manufacturers will be around. Because I don't think they'll find it very amusing to be beaten by that kind of car."Are we really going to BoP around what street cars' base models cost? That's idiotic.He seems upset that Ford is able to get more marketing juice from the squeeze that is GT3 competition because OBVIOUSLY the more basic street cars are cheap. He's literally bitching that GT3 isn't just exotics from "Exclusive" euro marques.
Mustang GT3 is homologated from a Datk Horse, the GTD is just a marketing tie in/Chevy jealousy vanity program

>>157404359tbf its hard to get manufacturers for some America specific open-wheel series that runs on ovals when F1 is at peak popularity in the USA, so money would be better invested there.
>>157403928Always is. Series is professional
>>157405667>F1 is at peak popularity in the USApeople are more interested in the WNBAF1 isn't even on USA television
>>157405667Most of IndyCar's mild uptick in present popularity comes from being F1 adjacent, it's (slightly) more likely someone wants in without spending a bajillion gorillion dollars right now than gives a fuck about low tide open wheel racing enough to spend anything.
>>157405667>F1 is at peak popularity in the USAAnd its still barley more popular then the busch series. Then it entered into its worst rule set ever and fucked off to apple tv.
>>157405725By most metrics it is one of the fastest growing sports people are watching in the US>Not on televisionNeither is baseball or hockey half the time. Most sports other than football will get pushed off air for football talk shows in America. F1 is on Apple TV, and tons of people have that already.
>>157405866The difference is almost all of those F1 viewers are intentional and they are young enough to draw ad budgets, while a meaningful percentage of the NASCAR audience is 70 year olds that fell asleep during the previous program.

>>157409982It's really hit or miss. It's pretty popular in the middle east of all places. SEA too, but they're not really spending a lot of money. I've been to the Singapore GP a couple times, and you can actually watch most of the race for free. Granted this was 15 years ago.

>>157410019>It's pretty popular in the middle east So is sitting down to pee. kekBut seriously. It isn't like I want it to be this way. I've never been to a race but for years I watched almost every race until this year. I watched the first 5 races and just gave up. It was generally pretty poor racing, but the meme hybrid system and its meaningless passing was the last straw for me. It's just insulting to expect that your audience isn't smart enough to notice how artificial it is. Maybe it's some kind of filter and it caught me. I don't know. Hell, maybe they fixed it, but I haven't been tempted to check back after that.

Also RC51s burning down because nobody could be fucked to go pick them up in time. Amazingly the race pace for these 750s in 2002 is within a second of the current 1000s, whether that's pavement, temperature, the current spec Dunlops being that shit, the modern superbike modifications being less permissive, or Mladin and Bostrom being better than any of the current riders.

Why isn't supercross the biggest sport in the world?
>>157425226Probably because it's such a meme
>>157425226SX is partially a direct argument for why pro motorsport cares about safety because you legit have seasons where the 2 or 3 championship favourites and/or most popular riders are out entirely and nobody really gives a shit. Plus territorial disputes and the inherent problem that all Saturday night heat race based motorsport suffers from getting television coverage. Your big guns race once and then aren't seen again for 90 minutes to 2 hours.
>>157425372I don't see how it's that different from guys in ball sports tearing their ACL or achilles or something like that. You don't escape injuries altering the outcomes in the most popular sports. The format could be better for a clean broadcast schedule. But still seems to me like Supercross should be way more popular.
>>157425569You might see the best player on one team out, it would be exceedingly rare to see the best player on every championship contending team go out and you sure as fuck don't see entire teams just not showing up which is the functional equivalent for a team sport.
>>157425226MX/SX culture is very weird. The spectator sport doesn't try to appeal to non-riders.

I'll be going to the ELMS race this Sunday.Sad that there won't be any Mustangs, it does have the Corvette with a sick livery though. I also wanted to listen to the LMP2s once again before they switch to the new V6 engines.

>>157433651The metro is very... dated. But I've had a good experience with the public transit system so far, the fiancé wanted to go to Georgetown yesterday
>>157434126here's a good tip DC metro: never take the metro east across the river. If you find yourself at a stop east of the Potomac river, you better turn the fuck around right quickt. DMVanon
>>157434126>the fiancé wanted to go to Georgetown yesterdayWhy did she want to go to the slum?
>>157432709The layout is kind of dull, but most of it is nice and wide, so that should be good. Also bumpy
indy two fiddy better or worse than whats going on in f1?
>>157434176Why, is it a shithole?>>157434187kekI felt out of place there, The Tudor House was cool, but they gave us the intern as a tour guide and kept asking her questions about the house and also making remarks. The Dumbarton Oaks was pretty cool, too.Is the other DC Race Anon stars or stripes?
I don't get city coursesI understand SpaI understand The RingI understand the TTI understand Ralli FinlandI have yet to understand the appeal of a single city circuit. Monaco. That one Osaka circuit that keeps getting pushed. Detroit. Etc.
>>157434207The f1 sprint should give you a hint later.
>>157423928Super GT, the only series that forces me to look up brands, i.e. the only successful advertising in racing
>>157434295>Yes you can turn laps around Spa, but how would it fare in real life???That's basically the justification, in spirit, its actually closer to the origins of road racing, when they used to block off public roads and race down them. They're also all incredibly popular and people go to them.And my main complaint with street course is that the course are usually shoved out of the way, by an airport, stadium or some industrial sector. This race is at least where the big stuff is in town.
>>157434295Why do you think there's an appeal, it's just a way to make the taxpayers foot the bill for millionaires
>>157434267you have to ask? DC has consistently had some of the worst crime rates in the whole country since the 70s.
>>157434434Surr, but like I know where that happens. The last time anyone in my family went to DC, it was my Great, Great Grandfather after the battle of Antietam.
>>157434354I can't speak for the majority of street circuits but at least in F1 the majority have been in 'scenic' parts of the town in question. Monaco is self explanatory, Singapore is right through the party district, Albert Park is around some historic parkland, Baku is right through the old town fort, Las Vegas is right down the strip past the casinos.. the same can be said for a lot of the historic ones too like Pedralbes and Montjuic. the only ones that were in industrial parks were the shitty events that sprung up in the 80s that rarely held more than 2-3 races like Dallas and Phoenix. 'stadium parking lot grand prix' was more of a CART problem, something like half of all the tracks CART raced at was places like Cleveland airport and Astrodome Park.
