It's over. Decker will be in the show while the 43 goes home.
it's going to be a good weekend supergt sisters
does it only rain when nascar wants to race? what the fuck
>>157792460I honestly kind of feel bad for her. It isn't really her fault she is the way she is. It's every man's who never told her no.
>>157792733Spots car racing
>>157792739Essentially, yes. I live sorta close and it hasn't rained here for 3 or 4 weeks. Maybe longer.
>Cup qualifying canceled and lineup set by metric ... Cup practice will go from 6-6:40p ET ... lightning hold has been lifted.
>>157794001What? They canceled qualifying but will have a practice session? NASCAR priorities are retarded.
>>157794016It's looking like the rain might cancel the practice too.
>>157794077That's unfortunate, but they should have moved qualifying to the practice time and only if that were to be rained out, move to the point standings or whatever. If there is track time, qualifying should be the priority.
DIO
What a chaotic 24 hours. SportsCar racing imploding and the WRC just canceling its season finale.It would be extremely on brand for the WEC to just die out while it's more popular than ever. It may be BoPslop, but it's still extremely entertaining to watch. It's nice to have a premier series. When the WSC dies, it really was the dark ages. We still had cool shit like BPR/FIA GT and ALMS really carried the 00s, but it was really nice to finally have a proper world championship again and to have it and IMSA be aligned in terms of cars.
>>157794197Is there an outside assistance rule in MotoGP?
>>157794229Picking up the bike without pulling the clutch kills the engine.You can't try to restart the engine on-track (and since this is Moto3 chances are you won't be able to restart it by yourself anyway).
how will Evans choke the title in Sardegna despite it being handed over to him on a silver platter?
>>157794227The only thing that I think might kill the WEC right now is a genuine, 1970s style oil crisis. Even then, it would have to be protracted to actually get the FIA to dissolve it rather than postpone it. That being said, it's absolutely on the table with how much the sand people are kicking off right now. We never should have given in to the Communists and decolonized the world. We'd still be racing the original Paris to Dakar today and you'd be up to your eyeballs in ivory and hands.
>>157794280>Picking up the bike without pulling the clutch kills the engineOh yeah. I didn't really think about that, but yeah, restarting a race machine can be tricky.Is that why that other dude freaked out and slapped that track jannie and got in trouble a few months ago?
>>157794356How the fug is this going to happen in a war zone?
>>157794445Nah, Bez freaked out because one of the jannies grabbed the the throttle and started over-revving the engine (which actually kills it in the most literal sense).
>>157794493So, why do those retards touch the bike at all? Shouldn't that be a major talking point in the track janni meeting?
>>157794227>It would be extremely on brand for the WEC to just die out while it's more popular than everSays who? the empty grandstands at every race? (Except the lm24)

Natalie Decker brake checking Pasta and getting spun out was funny on its own. Her trying a bunch of different gears trying to find reverse and the team having to tell her where the gear was is an all-time Natalie moment. If NASCAR were at all serious, she would lose her license to race in the sport.
>>157796711she also broke the transmission finding reverse lmao
Imagine what Natalie Decker had to do for Mike Harmon to land this ride.
>>157796711As much as I like to shit on her myself, apparently something other than the driver was wrong with the car.>>157796804It was a Young's car. Cars under the owner points currently used by the 47 have been fielded by 4 different teams this year.

>>157818030Blaney ran up and grabbed him around the collar of his firesuitThats a fight between rational people 99/100 times
>>157818086100%, I was just saying when I saw it live, I thought Hocivar just stated swinging, but after watching it again, Blaney definitely stated some shit he wasn't ready to finish. Also, Hocivar has mad reach. So if you want to fight him, I guess get inside and work on his gut.
>>157790546Was the fight a work or a shoot?

It's a good show, honestly.
>>157818698damnit, I listen to too many podcasts already. and half of em are 90% boring shit, 10% good info.
reminder that if you like a driver that has a podcast, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEIR PODCAST, and also the really good drivers don't have time to do a podcast. interviewed on a podcast? ok. do their own podcast? no.
>>157818380Mostly true. NASCAR, and hell even the drivers know the racing product on the track isn't always the best so they depend on the fight in the infield, off track girly drama or rule changes to get attention.
>>157818380even the original one?
>>157818965It wouldn't surprise me. That was the first ever flag to flag Daytona 500 televised and 16 million watched because of a blizzard. perfect opportunity to get popular. Betcha Cale and the Allison bros made a pact beforehand.
I don't know how you even look Roger in the eye after this
>>157818761If you like sports cars and rally, Mid-Week is the ticket. They always have an F1 and motorcycle segment if there was a recent race, but it predominantly sports cars. If you don't feel like listening live in Wednesday afternoon, you can always skip the stuff you don't care about.
>>157818896This is all incredibly true. My dislike for Rossi and his underperforming as a driver are both directly due to his podcast. I also started to hate Jr. and Hamlet because of their pod casts, especially Hamlet, that guy is straight up retarded, but it doesn't seem to interfere too much with his driving a cheated up Yoder.

>>157827555Do you think someone dies every single time a race in the rain is allowed to go on? There are a billion races every year its genuinely baffling more people don't die even in normal conditions (Especially at the nurburgring where there's 150 cars in each race and some of them are made out of duct tape and driven by blind old men)

>>157833447>>157833532So what you're saying is we need a yellow to bunch up the field and the top 5 to take each other out on the restart and then the Valkyrie can win?

>On track passes for the Valkyrie!
>Implementations!!!
>>157834665Why are Japs giving up
Diresta is such a bitch.
>>157834866their word is because of the new indycar engine(despite the similarities, the lmdh engine shares nothing with either) which HPD has to put more focus on. i do believe this but it also feels weird because they could just downsize the IMSA operations, no? well perhaps there is also the fact that iirc HPD also has to help HRC with the f1 engine so maybe they are being spread thin
Didn't Porsche give up on HY/GTP racing? Why are they on the grid?
>>157834866Not enough eyes on IMSA because of peacock. Indy has primetime fox eyes.
>>157834866When in doubt, money ran out.>>157834938They gave up on the WEC. They'll be around at least for next year. Probably gone in 2028. Money ran out (for real in this case).

Exciting end to an otherwise OK race.
>>157835394Same as Porsche
Wtf is he talking about. Heinrich is good but he's not catching Bamber in the next 2 minutes...
>>157835518It's a lot of time to fill. You gotta say something.
Having to pit in the final minute. Fucking hell lol.
kurwa! intereuropolbros...
>mcLel
>>157835437more a VAG problem. Porsche and Lambo resisted the internal EV push better than the other VAG stablemates. I sometimes feel ashamed of driving a VW because of all the stupid shit they've been doing since dieselgate.
>>157835394>EV fad is dying It's surging massively because of the oil crisis though.
>>157835426>Exciting end to an otherwise OK race.Yeah, fuck BMW, nice Vette Mustang battle. This is way better at a 2:40:00 race, by far.
did the stang push the vette into the grass? gj tv direction
>>157835394>the EV fad is dying without the subsidies that propped it upNot anymore because of the oil prices unfortunately. It's back and going strong. Plus as long as the EU bans stick, EVs will win out unfortunately.
>>157835620maybe in Europistan but even then it's all Chinese imports, nobody buys Honda in the EU. in the US, nobody cares.
Who's getting punched in the face in the pits?
>>157835605>Porsche>resisted the internal EV pushAre you sure about that?>Taycan>Macan Electric>Cayenne Electric
>>157835693Nobody buys Chinese cars in Europe either. Porsche's EVs got cucked by Tesla mostly, which does unbeatable credit campaigns (sometimes with 0% interest) and sells cars cheaper.
>>157835657I have it on YT and 100% yes. The Mustang ran the Corvette wide, but they only had the result of the incident, so it's hard to say who was at fault.
>>157835860Imagine driving a car that doesn't run on explosions and transfer that power through a complex series of finely machined parts that you have to control with your hands and feet.
I am so fucking mad.
>>157835939That's part of Europe's car problem. People associate all these brands - Audi, BMW, Porsche, etc - with engine sounds and driving feel.If they all transition to electric pussy cars, no one is gonna give a shit about the logo on the bumper. They'll just buy the cheapest or prettiest car.
The M V8 is growing on me. Good to see it be good across both series too, it gives credibility.
>>157835993Yeah, they are just throwing decades of heritage in mechanical engineering excellence right in the garbage. It's like if Rolex tried to sell you a plastic cased digital watch for $15,000. It's simply embarrassing and the fact that the people in charge don't understand that is even more embarrassing.
>>157835795and they explicitly came out and said they'd continue making combustion engines and manual gearboxes for as long as there was even one single market that they could sell them in. they even went out of their way to develop a new naturally aspirated 911 model after the Carrera was forced to go turbo.
>>157835860plurality of EV sales in the EU are Chinese imports now. Tessies were only popular when they were the only option. these days it's either VW (developed in China) or Chinese.
>>157836164Rolex did sell a quartz watch alongside their mechanical offerings for 25 years.
>>157836801Electric digital, anon.

>>157790546BAMF is a woman beater according to plebbit
>>157837974I won't let them say this about Ryan Blaney
>NASCAR can't cover up Bryan France getting a DUI but they can cover up minor developmental series driver Carson Whocevar throwing hands with some chickYeah okay internet
>>157837974>according to plebbitand you believe everything those retards say?
>>157835620>>157835682EV's are not going to be the future, The saudis have told europe no more oil deliveries starting next month, the electricity to power batteries wont be there soon with power plants being forced to shut down, Germany has shut all its nuclear plants years ago because of the green commies in their government.I see the break up of the european union in the next year or 2/end of the decade at the latest.
>>157838713No I just wanted everyone’s opinion on it here.
>>157838748>The saudis have told europe no more oil deliveries starting next monthNo, they said some refineries are not going to get crude this month because of damage to pipelines. Europe doesn't source its oil from saudis exclusively (in fact some countries don't get it from saudis at all).
I dont mind EV's for civilian use. But keep that shit out of motorsports. Id much rather have the conversion van/SUV whatever they're all called fad to die off so we can get some 2 and 4 door sedans, the lower cost sporty coupe's and cars like that back on the roads again.
>>157839368I'd like EVs a lot more if their recent development didn't come hand in hand with this wider wave of practices that have been corrosive towards shit like being able to repair or even just use your own car.The tech genuinely fascinates me, it's the everything else around it that's downright insufferable.
>>157844962How undignified

>>157849600Hell yeah, brother. Hope everything goes well. What numbers do your cars carry?
>>157852289>Cacá Bueno >Daniel Serra>Felipe Baptista>Felipe Fraga - Felipe Nasr >Felipe Massa - Caio Collet >Gabriel Casagrande>Felipe Drugovich>Helio Castroneves>Júlio Campos>Rafael Martins>Nelson Piquet Jr Holy shit! I'm so fucking hype on this race. Is it one race Saturday and one Sunday or what?Is there a free English language stream? I remember there used to be on motorsports.tv but I haven't checked in a while, I usually just watch the Portuguese stream and rely on the timing and scoring and what frew words I know from Spanish.
>>157852289Highly amusing how some of these duos are trying really hard and others are not trying at all. Navarro? Antonella? lol.>>157852378Unless they're changing it for this race and I have not heard any news, there won't be an english stream
>>157852255why are they posting soul? WEC is supposed to be a soulless corporation
>>157852857They have accidentally become based while IMSA is in shambles. It's weird and confusing to me, too.
>Fucks up the first corner in a failed overtake>Still manages to exit and (((power))) by for the win
Found the lap times from the 850cc/pirelli motogp test in Austria that happened on Monday, In comparison the pole time set on Saturday by Jorge Martin was a 1’27”917
>>157839368Give it up, anon. You can carry more shit in a cuckover, and you sit higher, so you can see more. The only way low cost sporty coupes (gas-powered) come back is if you passed nationwide laws in the developed world outlawing personal vehicles other than trucks from being more than five feet tall total.
>>157856320You are spiritually a woman, even if you will never be a real woman.Editor's note: that also means you're fucking retarded
>>157856377You are correct that female tastes have driven, and will continue to drive, the automobile market.Relatedly, this means gas mileage will continue to be king, which means that, barring something truly bizarre (or, again, government regulation) intervenes, then the pure gas-powered car will go the way of the dodo, and hybrid-electrics will become the standard in another five years.
I like that stupid song Speed plays for the wrecks
>>157856885You can't prioritize gas mileage and also drive hatchbacks but 1000lbs heavier and with more frontal area. That's just the delusion that shitty AWD and having the absolute most vague resemblance to an off road vehicle will somehow keep you from suffering from a woman driving moment because a deluge of marketing from companies that wanted to sell higher margin vehicles with lower fuel mileage standards said so.
>Hinch and Rossi>3/4 episode is F1slop>1/4 IndyCar driver licensing changes>SPEED>thumbnail is the asscar fightshould I even bother? I'm finna ignore all these podcasts until IndyCar season starts again.
>>157856943they don't talk enough about sports car racing. now that IndyCar season is done it's gonna be straight asscar + a few minor notes about other series.
oh yeah and the late model series that Harvick owns that his son races in.
sports car racing bros... we get no respect...
>>157856377I am spiritually this woman
>>157852378damn that's a pretty sick lineup. I wanna watch too.
week...>4? 5?of my PC being fucked.>tfw only got Android phone and an old ass iPad to watch vrooms now>and the good streams don't usually work on mobilethis sucks.
>>157852888said this many times, IMSA needs to be free from asscar ownership to reach its full potential.
>>157857396and I've told you many times that IMSA would collapse without NASCAR subsidising its existence.
>>157857407it already is collapsing lol
>>157840042>like being able to repair or even just use your own car.desu ICE engine cars are going that way too, it's not just Teslas. there are proposed bills in Congress about "right to repair" and the automotive industry predictably are vehemently lobbying against them.
>>157857519>internal combustion engine engine carsyes
automotive manufacturers don't want build quality, or robustness of parts, or ease of repair for the consumer or non-dealership mechanics, etc.they want planned obsolescence, information asymmetry (you don't know how it's gonna last, but they do), throw it out when it breaks and buy a new one. it's the same with computers. or power tools. or kitchen appliances.
make fixing it only possible with proprietary parts and/or software, and prohibitively expensive, to encourage you to just buy a new one.
I imagine this business model applies to race cars too, especially GT3's and GT4's. even customer LMDh's, I'm sure Porsche were not pleaded that IMSA allowed JDC-Miller to run with the previous year's spec 963.
>>157857626*pleasedbut yeah TL;DR: it's all about money these days in every aspect of society and if you don't have it fuck you you're fucked
>>157857256and that 1/4 was a nothingburger, so wishy washy, I get Hinchcliffe is employed by FOX so he can't talk too much shit about specifc drivers or teams impacted by this, but why even talk about it at that point? worthless. I need to stop listening to podcasts.
>>157849526I think it was FWD in race spec too, but it did race (poorly) in JGTC/Super GT GT300 back in the day
>tfw the 1990's are now "back in the day"
2000's too
>>157857472doing far better than it would if it lost 85% of its calendar including it's three most prestigious events.
>>157857885which ties into, asscar owns too many damn tracks
>>157849526still not very. it was an ugly slow hateful little turd of a car and no amount of bodycolour trim or alloy wheels or drivetrain rearrangement will change that. besides, if you wanted a GM sport compact back then, the real in-the-knows would buy Oldsmobile.
>>157857897NASCAR built* and funds* those tracks. you think the likes of Bristol, Talladega, Charlotte, or Darlington would exist without NASCAR? fat chance.
fuck Daytona, it's a roval. if not for the history of the event, nobody would give a shit. IMS has a roval too. but Sebring and Road Atlanta must be freed!
>>157857913why would I give a shit about oval tracks when we're talking about sports car racing?
>>157857927because the ovals subsidise the unprofitable sports cars, clown. that's the entire point.
>>157857900>Oldsmobiledon't miss that brand at all. GM had way too many brands before the government(taxpayer) bailout. you think Buick, Cadillac are known as "grandpa" brands? it's in the name. OLDsmobile.
>>157857933the entire point is a turnleft governing body should not be allowed to govern turnright.
>>157857941Oldsmobile was originally the yuppie brand of the GM lineup. Chevrolet for fleet sales and teamsters, GMC for foremen, Pontiac for bachelors, Buick for women, Oldsmobile for white collar men, Cadillac for corporate executives. it more or less filled the same niche that BMW would take over in the 80s. they typically used Olds to experiment with new technology and styling before filtering it through to the other marques.>go to Oldsmobile if you want to see what's New with GM
>>157857955kill Buick and GMCbring back Holden (and introduce to the US market)
>>157857954and my point is your take is ignorant and retarded, because turnright cannot exist on its own in the US because nobody cares about it. turnleft pays their light bills. no turnleft=no turnright. moron>nb4 "I care" as if you matter
>>157857963Buick and GMC make money. Holden/Pontiac/Olds/Hummer didn't. sucks but that's the reality. either GM killed them or they got no bailout and the entire company went bust taking everything with it.
stock car governing body in charge of sports car racing is like the bullshit of skiers being in charge of snowboarding, or rollerskaters being in charge of skateboarding, in the internstional sporting federations of those sports. they are not compatible.
>>157857974good? fuck Detroit
>>157857967>NOO WE NEED THE FRANCE FAMILY OR THERE WILL BE NO RACING IN THE USfuck that, I completely reject that premise
>>157857980Pontiac and Holden were Detroit.>uhm Holden was Australianwho owned them and funded them
>tfw there is an alternate timeline where Roger Penske didn't buy IndyCar and the entirety of American motor racing was controlled by asscar nightmare scenario
>>157857975>that thing YOU created? you shouldn't be allowed to own it anymore because it offends my particular breed of autismmore like FIA dictating the rules for both rally racing and F1. oh wait, they do
>>157857996>NASCAR created sports car racingplease
>bootlicking Roger Penskesays it all
>>157858001he ain't perfect but he's better than Tony George and the Frances
>please be to pretending the decades IMSA existed as a completely independent entity from NASCAR are not existing saarAll of the operating costs for IMSA come out of the extortionate entry and marketing fees, if anything they're extracting wealth out of it to pay off all the money wasted driving competition out of business.
>>157857996rallying is more than just FIA WRC you know?just like sports car racing is more than just WEC and IMSA.
>>157858012>saartake off the VPN, Leaf
>>157858000yes, they indeed did found IMSA. John Bishop went to the SCCA with the idea, they told him no. so he went to NASCAR. Bill France Sr thought it was a good idea and fronted the startup capital out of pocket in exchange for 75% of ownership. even when the series was losing money hand over fist France Sr continued to use NASCAR profits to keep it going.
No signs of intelligence detected
>>157858014sure but we're not talking about club racing, we're talking about IMSA. quit squirming through my fingers, you slime. >>157858005lol
>>157858024I will squirm my foot up your ass.if F1 can become popular in the US after decades of irrelevance, IndyCar can regain some of the popularity of the CART days, sports car racing can be popular too. without relying on asscar to prop it up. and it should be the fucking easiest series to market too, everyone knows about Corvettes and Mustangs.
my flags were off temporarily but I CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED a post by the asshole Leaf, unmistakable.
>>157858048F1 isn't popular, and only has the fanbase it does now because it has literal billions of dollars to throw at marketing, and the best they could manage was getting a legion of twitter whores to diddle themselves to interpersonal drama on SocMed whilst not watching any of the races. CART wasn't popular either, the Indy 500 was. there's a reason why the IRL survived and CART didn't despite the fact every single person involved in IRL was an incompetent goon.IMSA even at its peak was still directly reliant on NASCAR. there was never a point in IMSA's history where it wasn't married to NASCAR at the hip, and it's in a much worse shape now than it was during its golden era.endurance racing is inherently unmarketable, only Le Mans can manage any degree of market penetration. you don't know what you're talking about. just because YOU like it doesn't mean everyone else will. see a shrink, get help for that autism.
>well you see NASCAR funneling funding into sports car racing to try to take control of the sport means it can't exist without NASCAR even though they spent 15 of those years pissing money down a well on splinter series to try to put IMSA out of business>>157858063I don't know why you think it's an achievement you identified a post calling you a stupid asshole in a thread with about 4 posters but standards are low in the shithole of the Asian continent after all.
what is your obsession with Indians? is it that bad with immigrants in Canada?
You factually can't speak English unassisted Rakesh, you regularly fail to recognize the content of posts and whenever you have a melty and start skipping chatGPT you post complete gibberish.What is your brown race's obsession with internet shitposting of quality so low it makes 13 year olds look like they knew what they were doing and worshipping rich assholes.
business idea: IMSA fights instead of just middle fingers out the window

I leave for a day and the thread looks like a dirt track post race brawl kek
>>157857256>>157857686I quit listening to Off Track after the 3rd time they made the joke about covering the 2025 Nashville race.
>>157857347It will probably be free on YT, but with Portuguese commentary. It's still fun to watch, but you really rely on the timing pylon to tell what's happening and you miss a lot of small details. I'm sure a reminder will get posted. I'll do it if no one else does. I really think this is going to be pretty great.

>>157861954>After winning the 2020 Indy Pro 200 championship, Robb went on to finish second in Indy Lights two years later. But three years in IndyCar didn't yield similar levels of success, with a best championship finish of 20th in 2024Why is every ladder system broken as hell?Also, the absolute state of Lola. I wish they had been part of the LMDh program, but I guess that was more complicated than FE?
>>157863732probably easier for them to get into FE vs trying to compete against Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, and Oreca in WEC/IMSA.
