This is the gayest most boring motorsport. And it's always women who bring it up to me in public now. I watch and follow Rally loosely and the comparison is mind blowing.

>>28492408 (OP)
If you watch this right after f1 the difference in actual racing is mind blowing. F1 (in its current state) isnt for racing fans, hence why its only woman.

Women are into F1 because of the drivers. Car autists don't care about the people aspect, they're just into cars for the engineering and cool designs. But a lot of car people don't care about F1 because F1 cars look like giant go-karts, they all look the same, and don't sound cool. I think the highest tier that still resonates with most car guys is the LMP class because they're cool, sexy, well engineered, and still look like actual cars

>>28492408 (OP)
This is entirely due to the reality shows and whatnot being marketed towards women on things like Netflix in the past few years. No, all the women and normie zoomers you see all wearing "fashionable" F1 gear they bought from Pac Sun or Forever 21 now aren't actually fans of motorsport. Just of the drama and maybe a few of the drivers.

>A lot of car people don't care about F1 because F1 cars look like giant go-karts, they all look the same, and don't sound cool
I've honestly never really enjoyed F1 because of this anyway. F1 might have more turns than something like NASCAR, but it somehow feels even more tame. I legitimately enjoy watching spec racing with much slower cars (Sentra Cup/Fiesta Junior Championship etc) far more than F1 racing.

so what's the chuddiest motorsport then?
turnleft?

>>28492426
Indyshart is way worse. Granted the tracks are better. The car is from 2012. The engine is from 2012. Outside of the top 5 the drivers are dogshit. Connor Daly still has a ride, think about that.
The camera literally just follows the leader around and most races the set up is so good it’s an easy cruise to victory.
You miss all actual racing going on. One year Pageaud went from last to top 10 in the 500 and they didn’t show one second of it. The media is just that fat pervert who’s only interested in himself and being buddies with everyone so he doesn’t actually talk about cars or racing he talks about Reddit and cheerleads for guys like Conor Daly to get rides.
The sport is dead.

F1 has serious problem and is more of a celebrity reality drama show than a racing event. It’s like real housewives but with boys so women like it.

>>28492458
Isle of Man TT

>>28492426
Formula 2 is pretty similar to Indycar in most respects. Smaller and cheaper cars with standardized chassis and engines.

>>28492465
>Indyshart is way worse.
>Granted the tracks are better
lol bro

>>28492465
The back half of the f1 grid is full of SHITTERS rn

>>28492478
Call me when Indyshart enters the 2020s dude. Why can you buy a dodge challenger with more HP than a race car?
Call me when they can attract enough talent Conor Daly doesn’t get to drive anymore. Maybe they’ll get that third supplier this year. We’ve only been waiting 15 years. Shit sucks balls dude. It’s embarrassing. Watch IMSA/WEC like a man and give up on Indyshart until they actually build a cool formula and make it worth watching

>>28492481
Yeah it is. But the Indyshart guys are the same but old and slow.

>>28492487
The car is set to be updated in 2028. Also the current F1 cars fucking suck. Big as f-150's and rely on DRS to pass each other.

I do watch IMSA/WEC you squid.

Watch Trans Am dude
No pretentious BS

Yes I’m sure. They only promise a new car and new engine 2 years from now every single year. Lambo and Hyundai and Toyota and Porsche and Ferrari are all coming soon!

If they were smart they’d completely throw out everything and start from scratch. There is no reason GTP/Hypercar can be so successful but Indyshart can’t attract any interest.

Should adopt a formula with BoP and just do an open wheel GTP with open ended design and engines but cost controlled chassis. Imsa is great. But they won’t because they’re Indyshart. They’re actually looking at doing a spec engine with shared parts and the brand is really just a stamp. Pathetic

>>28492431
>Women are into F1 because of the drivers
This is actually true. Overhead women talking about F1 for like a full hour once. The whole convo pretty much solely discussed the drivers. They were both really into Lec

>>28492408 (OP)
literally the least gay racing is the miata global cup on IMSA... kek.

God I love motogp

The cope and seethe from rossi fans when Marc gets his 9th this year will be delightful. If Marc gets 10 it's gonna be nuclear level.

Oh yeah and the racing is better too. Maybe harder to appreciate if u don't ride, but you should ride.

>>28492426
I've been watching Indycar a lot more lately. The racing product is actually good. No BoP or DRS parades creating the illusion of something exciting happening on track.

>>28492465
>The car is from 2012. The engine is from 2012.
Then go watch F1 if you care more about technology than the racing.

>Outside of the top 5 the drivers are dogshit.
Same with F1. And this season is unusual because it's normally only 2-3 drivers that are good while the rest of the F1 grid is also-rans.

>Connor Daly still has a ride, think about that.
Lance Stroll still has a ride, think about that.

>>28492487
>Watch IMSA/WEC like a man
I gave up on WEC because their BoP tables are most egregious. At least IMSA kind of tries.

>>28492516
May as well just watch NASCAR.

>>28492889
I was at the TT this year in Assen. Very cool, dont even know who won. Just having a nice day with friends watching bikes go by. Andd they’re fucking loud! On raceday sunday there where 100.000 people watching on the grass and seats. If you can, go next year

>>28492431
I agree with this. F1 cars just look boring

>>28492969
Trans Am cars are more powerful and don't use restrictor plates. Modern NASCAR has fuel injection, automatics, and independent suspension.

>>28492426
This. Anything under the IMSA flag make F1 look like a daycare for retired kart racers.

>>28492959
Lance strolls dad bought him an F1 team so he could drive bc he would be replaced if he didn’t spend a billy to get him on the grid.
Conor Daly is just the last guy willing to drive for shitters in Indy shart.

>>28492431
I will say I appreciate seeing the same drivers in different IMSA series, either doing multiple things or moving on from mx5 to Porsche cup. It's nice to see golden era mind set of mastering multiple forms of racing.

>>28492469
Based and casualties are to be expected pilled.

>Then go watch F1 if you care more about technology than the racing.
That's a real funny thing to say considering FIA itself is doing its darndest to make vehicle racing more about celebrities than actual vehicle engineering. Nothing about modern F1 represents the true limits of where technology could go.

>>28492431
Youd do the same thing if you were a fan of a racing league full of hot women

low IQ take. the appeal of open wheel is they're totally no-compromise "make a four-wheeled machine as fast as it can be", or at least that's the intent. it'd pure engineering marvel.

>>28492800
they should bring back the stock block requirement they had through the 80s and 90s and into the early 00s.

There's too many gay little rules.

IMSA is a joke. American racing is cringe af.

>>28492408 (OP)

F1 basically all about the culture and history. Once you break it down to the brass tacks of how it functions as a sport, you find it’s seriously lacking.

I don't mind it. It got girls into racing and made it easier to drag them to other events.

OP is lonely and (even worse) genetically autistic.

>Indyshart tracks are better
is this a some sort of american joke ? What indie track is better than tracks like Spa , Monza or Imola ?

Go away, Ferrari International Assistance

>>28496365
The thing is open wheels are suboptimal actually. The air gets all fouled up moving over it, especially when it's rolling fast. The only reason F1 machines still have them is because fia bugocrats mandate it they have them. Because 'muh brand identity' or whatever.

>>28496754
Thats because all the best drivers have a sort of gentlemans agreement to let the shitters fight for the title every year.

>>28496854
Its funny the opinion switched on this. First it was bias towards Mercedes, then RedBull, and now Ferrari. Its almost like its not really biased.

>>28497115
>First it was bias towards Mercedes
Ferrari International Assistance was already a meme in the Schumacher era

Pls watch our league.

>>28497495
The Mercedes driver knows the M2 has a better chassis than the AMG GT (BMW's entry level chassis is notoriously better than Mercedes' most advanced chassis) so if he didn't block on the straight, he'd get rekt in the corner. A scumbag move, but alas, the only way to not lose to a BMW in a corner is to deny its entry into the corner

>>28497498
Merc drivers are perfidious.

>>28497495
Holy shit fucking metal!
