>>149089579Yeah, if it happens again on my drunken mind, then I try not to forget it. Well got to prepare somehow for the /lm24/
Not the hero's we deserve
But the hero's we need
In preparation for the /lm24/ asking for some updates and ideas for the /lm24/-Bingo. Last 5 years I did it on a whim just before the race.

>>149089796Needs something for woman drivers, idk what though
>>149089796Alpine wins should probably not be on the same line as the free space and I don't think Illot is in this one. Other than that, I think it's pretty good.
>>149089796They rarely ever red flag 24LM so we can lose that one. Penske won't win so can lose that one.
Needs to be one for Hindhaugh finding some way to bring his own very low level club racing experience up during commentary.

>>149091245can someone explain to me why the fuck Honda is all of a sudden soo focused on doing all the work making engines for Aston Martin, just for Aston Martin to take all the credit if they win, when Honda were about to leave F1 just a few years ago?
>>149096057that reminds me, I updated my twitter banner
>>149096120I wish I was as cool as you.
I hate to exceed my post limit (3) per thread but I'm looking for a pic of Isolde Holderied in the Corolla, if anyone here has it it would make me very happy.
>>149096458>>149096121>>149096057What is an underrated rally car in terms of looks or how cool it was? You hear about the Evo, Impreza, Audi Quattro and a few Lanca's to name a few but what cars do you think are underrated as time goes on?
>>149096616kots will give a better answer as soon as he wakes up, but there is more than one. Personally the Escort seems prettier to me the more time passes, it also looked good with any livery and although it was not very successful in the world championship, for a long time it was very popular in the national championships in its different homologations with good results. I don't know if it had any special technical aspect (I'm sure it did but I don't have that knowledge) but at some point in 1997 Ford announced a lack of power in its engines that caused it to lose up to half a second per kilometer in some sections. Maybe that's why his only victories were in Greece and Indonesia. Btw there was a small scandal in Indonesia '96 because someone accused Sainz of receiving external help and his disqualification was even announced but there was a protest and apparently pics to prove otherwise, in the end he was only fined
>>149096616the Renault 5 Turbo. good on tarmac, was crippled in gravel rallies due to RWD. but it was used later by privateers in rallycross with an AWD swap. Renault should have AWD swapped it for WRC.
>>149089976> The hungarian simping for iron dames1. Rent free
2. Which one of the (at minimum 3) hungarian anon? Or we will get a new one, given I've never seen any of them simping the pussywagon? Share your knowledge
>>149097588>>149096616For me it is the Hyundai Accent WRC. The original (pic rel) being the best looking (and meanest/most aggressive) in that lineage
It was a total shitbox like it's road car variant
>>149097783i wouldnt say the R5 being underrated as it has a pretty big cult (deservedly) around it
>>149096616>>149097913fine, then the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth.
>dominated Group A touring car racing (until the AWD Nissan Skyline GT-R came along)>was also pressed into service as a RWD rally car because after FIA banned the Group B AWD RS200, Ford didn't have anything better ready yet for Group A rally>replaced by the AWD Escort RS Cosworth
Good news: The Worldwide Technology Raceway tent at IMS gave me free GA tickets to the Indycar Race on Sunday.
Bad news: I spent too much money between the IMS trip and other life events to afford to go so soon.
Good news: A coworker is taking the tickets and her boyfriend to the race on Sunday.
I'm genuinely happy those tickets are being used, those two aren't Indycar fans, but her boyfriend follows some dirt track stuff and Slinger, as well as Nascar. He was super pumped and now they're both excited, apparently they haven't had a day trip in ages.
>no the Sierra is too popular
the Hyundai Accent was in Gran Turismo (4) years before the Ford Sierra (GT7) was
>>149098041the race is scheduled for 8pm ET on a Sunday. this will be an experiment on if a shit time for fans attending the race will be made up by the TV ratings.
>>149098083>why is it a shit time?it's a Sunday, people gotta work Monday morning. the only silver lining for fan attending is it's at night so it won't be hot as fuck sitting in the grandstands.
>Bommarito Automotive Group 500
>500
>kilometers
what is this bullshit, this is America!
>>149098083Which I made very plain when I offered the tickets, but they're up for the challenge. It'll be a nearly 6 hour drive for them. I think the attendance this year will take a small hit, but they have to be expecting that given that its still on a Sunday.
>>149098103I imagine that next year the race will be scheduled for Saturday night regardless of the attendance this year. I'm cautiously optimistic for the TV ratings, Sunday night is probably the best night of the week as everyone is trapped at home for work tomorrow with very little to do but relax at that hour, might as well catch some vrooms.
>>149098133Holding a 500 mile race on a 1.5 mile oval should be considered sacrilege. TMS maybe excepted, but they can fuck right off anymore.
>>149097913well the same thing happens with the Escort, it is even more iconic. But look how pretty it is
>>149098140Wisconsinfag here. maybe someday I will be able to do the Double Duty, go to IndyCar at Road America and go to IndyCar at the Milwaukee Mile in the same year. but Road America is higher priority. and other than Milwaukee I have no interest in attending any oval races except the Indianapolis 500.
>>149098196Hello fellow Wisconsinfag, I hope you're able to be in a position to do both soon, too. They're both excellent tracks in their own way and well worth the time and expense. (Pretty sure we've discussed this a time or two).
The 500 really is everything they say, and definitely worth attending, if not yearly, then at least once in your lifetime. Having said that, I love seeing these cars, and this style of racing, and I'd like to see them at as many venues as I can. I'll travel for a race, though a ten hour drive would be nearing my limit.
My dream retirement would be a cabin up north with land to shoot a 1000 yards, and an RV to travel to all of the races and canp with maxcomfy.
>>149098224been to Road America a bunch of times but I can't afford it this year ;_;
>>149097588The biggest quirk about the Escort is that the RS was actually a full Sierra underneath
>>149096616Early Mk1 Focus for me
Clean lines with subtle changes to an already handsome car, great liveries, McRae at the wheel, road car was a major turning point for euro Ford
>>149097907and it some deserves respect for being the cheapest shitbox they turned into a modern WRC car
>tfw Road America knows your address and sends you refrigerator magnets in the mail with the year's schedule printed on them
I'd go if I could you fuckers
>>149098240I'm sorry fren, on the bright side, you'll actually know what happens during the race this year and you'll be able to hang out in /indy/.
>>149098337yeah it sucks not being there but I'm kind of interested to see how Fox covers IndyCar at Road America. will there be any new camera angles?
>scheduling a race against the Indy 500
>unironically
did not expect that
>>149098254>and it some deserves respect for being the cheapest shitbox they turned into a modern WRC caryou must be 100 percent right on this one kek
>>149098371Formula 1 doesn't give a shit about anyone else's schedule. look at this weekend, they scheduled the Canadian GP against the 24 Hours of Le Mans. and the THREE 24 hour races (Le Mans, Nurburgring, Spa) all within days of each other? it's because of F1.
>tl;dr: Formula 1 is the enemy of all other motor racing series
>>149098409>they scheduled the Canadian GP against the 24 Hours of Le Mansthe race in Canada starts four hours after Le Mans ends
>>149098409are you complete retard ? the Canadian GP starts way after the finish of LM24
>>149098409They do it intentionally for two reasons. To steal precious viewers.
To prevent F1 drivers from being involved in other series. F1 were filthy about Alonso and his indy500 race.
>>149098371the only series that wants to kill IndyCar harder than F1 does is NASCAR.
>>149098436>>149098440gotta sleep sometime (if you are a fag that watches F1 without realizing the damage they do to every other series)
>>149098443>F1 were filthy about Alonso and his indy500 race.it goes back longer than that, they've been seething ever since Emerson Fittipaldi and Nigel Mansell joined CART.
>>149098467Oh yeah for sure. I only bring up Alonso because it's really the only recent occurrence....well kinda recent.
It's so stupid. F1 snobbery, meanwhile it should be the rising tide raising all ships.
Guess it also dramatically lowered the value for the Indy 500 TV rights abroad.
Thinking about the UK where the race runs on Sky's adfree uninterrupted main vrooms-channel with Tom Gaymore, but now that's unavailable and they have to move it to their Sports Mix niche shit and split the viewership with, or rather completely surrender it to, the Canada race. no es bueno.
Roger, do something.
>>149098485>meanwhile it should be the rising tide raising all ships.but our ship should rise higher, t. F1
>>149098501I don't think Roger fully understood what he was getting into when he bought IndyCar and IMS. he already owned Team Penske and Ilmor, and now he bit off more than he could chew. he's got his hands in too many pies. the series, a team in the series, an engine manufacturer in the series, the eponymous track of the series.
>you now remember when Roger Penske attempted to buy Saturn from GM during their bankruptcy
if things went a bit differently we could be talking about Ilmor-Saturn engines instead of Ilmor-Chevrolet engines right now.
Duality of Rain:
>Xfinity&Cup in Mexico City
rain kino
>Indycar at Gateway
endless delays
>>149098620another reason why Gateway should be on Saturday night, you're fucked if it rains Sunday night
>>149098656>inb4 postpone it to Mondayno fans and no viewers
>inb4 postpone it to the next weekendRoad America bitch
>>149098467> F1 were filthy about Alonso and his indy500 race.> it goes back longer than that, they've been seething ever since Emerson Fittipaldi and Nigel Mansell joined CART.Source: my ass
The simple reason for the current scheduling conflict is money. FOM wants more races for more revenue, Teams want their summer and winter shutdowns to save money, and that means a very tight calendar remains with the shipping times factored in (interesting fun fact: shipping a lot of shit around the world is more time consuming than shipping around a single country in trucks)
>>149098455you can sleep while the 3 hours of FCY hits when a single drop of rain lands on the track
Did it last year, it was comfy
The only ones seething about not being able to sleep between the 2 wont watch f1 anyways
>>149098666>>149098656fingers crossed that the forecasts change for the bettter
have very fast raris going at incredible hihg speed as sacrifice
>>149098691oh for sure. just saying that having a race on an oval (and thus with no possibility of rain tires) on a Sunday night is risky and I don't know how Fox talked IndyCar into it.
>>149096616I always loved the 323 gt-r with the bulky front bumper
>>149098009>replaced by the AWD Escort RS Cosworthit was replaced by the sierra sapphire rs cosworth which is another good shout for an underrated rally car
>>149097588the subaru was clearly the fastest car in '97 but it chewed up timing belts left and right, there's a great comparison onboard of the last stage shootout between sainz and mcrae in corsica

>>149096616For me it's the Citroen Xsara Kit Car
>>149096616Group 4 has a few good ones:
The Fiat 131 Abarth had fantastic suspension for its time. It won three WRC constructors' championships thanks to its superior handling, as the engine was frankly a bit shit.
>>149096616Pic rel but i'm an opel fangay
>>149099101The Ascona B 400 is also an impeccably cool car. Walter Rรถhrl won the 1982 WDC with it, when the Quattro was already around. Not that anyone cared about the WDC at the time though.
Looks better than the Manta as well IMO.
>>149099032Benne vagyok ja:D
>>149099094early sxara looks much better than the facelifted the wrc is based on
>>149096616I have a soft spot for French manufacturers as a whole so it's this one or the Renault Clio S1600
>>149089744Absolutely based. Just a terrible shame that they are near the bottom in class.
Doesn't seem likely that everyone else will fuck up, letting Aston do a Mazda 1991 victory (or podium).
>>149099256mazda at least had a competitive advantage and was podium material
The aston has no whatsoever unless they were sandbagging for the whole time
>>149099232100 percent, always hated the facelift faggy headlights
>>149099380they were podium material only because other teams switched back to their older spec turbo gr.c cars for le mans in 1991 and got handed a 100kg minimum weight increase while somehow the mazda could stay at its original weight
>F1 ruining one of the most fun days on the calendar
I am actually pretty mad about moving Monaco off Indy 500 day. I fucking hate liberty media and the FIA.
>>149099380I adore the 787B but for all intents and purposes they were handed a loophole on a silver platter. Piston-engined Group C cars were slapped with a 100 kilo ballast in 1991 while the Mazdas were exempt because they successfully convinced FISA that the 787B was so shit that they wouldn't be competitive even with a 100kg advantage.
And then the Mercs and Jags proceeded to shit the bed, and whaddya know.
>only 3 good races this year (gateway, milwaukee and nashville)
>rain
F1, nascar and now God are trying to kill our little open wheel series
>>149092740Year another category going to a turbo 4 cylinder power plant.
Sad.
You will be missed.
>>149093823They won't as long as it's the top series in ELMS. It's also a good way for teams to get prototype experience before moving to an LMDh car.
>>149095590I don't know, but the are doing the same thing for Red Bull right now.
>>149099736I'm all for LPM2.
I'm glad it's non in WEC but I like seeing them race. You need mid tier prototype categories to bring drivers up through the ranks.
>>149099750yep, without lmp2 and 3 the ladder would be incomplete
Should I paypig 17โฌ for a LMU key?
TFW will have to pirate a stream during the 24.
>>149100070the fiawec tv pass is like 16GBP
eurosport player is even cheaper
>>149100070I'm relying on this as my backup if the WEC site shits the bed.
>>149098702Moving to Saturday probably wasn't doable so late, but moving the time presents an acceptable compromise, even with the risk. I do believe that next year they'll schedule it for Saturday, unless the ratings are absolutely bonkers, then maybe the chance to delay the race will be worth it. As a spectator, I generally take the next day off, especially if I have to travel.
>>149097907>Or we will get a new oneThere was a Hungarian anon who posted about his dating experiences that seemed to like the pussy wagon. I remember him posting for a Burger King one Spa weekend, too I think, but maybe I am confusing two different people.
I hope he got a QT 3.14 GF and that's why he hasn't posted about that lately.
>>149098041Based, sounds like you just might have made an IndyCar fan or two.
>>149098133Kek, it not even 500 km, it's 523.037 km.
>>149098103>>149098165NASCAR at Nashville had really good attendance and it was a late race. Thankfully, I went to sleep after stage one because it looked pretty boring from the extended highlights.
>>149098337>>149098352If you bring an FM radio with ear buds and over the ear hearing protection, you can listen to the race at Road America on 87.9 FM. You can do this at most tracks, but some you might need a HAM radio for. A $20 Beofang will work.
I can not stress how much this improves the experience.
>>149093823You mean all of it could be GT3s,. Hypermeme and LMPiss Deuce are just the factory and privateer prototypes which are separate classes solely because some corporate executive with $100m to his name needs his own special boy trophy to be told how great he is on his weekends.
> WRC27 takes shape as regulations open to huge variety of bodywork designs
The World Council today approved one of the final pieces of the compelling puzzle that is coming together to mark the start of a brand-new era for the FIA World Rally Championship from 2027.
The WRC27 ruleset, given the green light by the World Council in December 2024, has been undergoing its final refinements and updates over the past six months, and today the confirmation of the reference volumes for bodywork cements the commitment set out by the FIA to put flexibility at the core of these regulations.
To achieve this, the rules define a zone in which all of the bodywork panels must be located, but within this volume, manufacturers and constructors have the freedom to scale and integrate almost any design.
This crucial feature of the regulations means that, without effecting performance, cars ranging from saloons to hatchbacks, cross-overs and completely bespoke designs could be entered over the ten-year regulation cycle through to 2037.
Well that and of course we wouldn't want to risk the poor oppressed corporations suffering the injury of being beaten by a car that doesn't have the brand of another trillion dollar globohomo on it.
>>149101070desu the external volume seems to be a bit small but maybe the graphics is shit (wouldnt be the first time)

Holy fuck this one genuinely took a while to make but I hope you guys like it
I hope this site doesn't compress it all to shit as well. If it does, well, I'll probably upload it somewhere and link it here
The Canadian GP scheduling has nothing to do with the 500 and is entirely a consequence of all the Burgerstanian F1 races being in the south where they can't reasonably be run during the summer so your options are either wasting a silly amount of resources flying back for a single Canadian race or fucked up dates.
Basically May 3 is the latest you could run Miami without being a health hazard and May 24 is the earliest you could run Montreal without a possibility of getting snowed on. Like May 17 went down to 1 degree above freezing in 2023. It's actually a pretty shit date to saddle them with even, while it could be hot it's also very possible they end up racing in single digit temperatures.
Miami GP runs 4pm local time so the shidding and farding about TV overlap can wait until they actually announce that.
>>149098501IndyCar's overseas TV rights are effectively worthless anyways. Admittedly the Indy 500 has less value here because of getting American networks on cable but even in Canada they almost have to give the damn things away even though it includes the Toronto Indy, and the only reason even F1 rights used to be worth anything outside of Europe before Netflix was including the local race. (ie. the Canadian GP in many years had more promotion on TSN/CTV than the entire rest of the season)
>>149098576>if things went a bit differently we could be talking about Ilmor-Saturn engines instead of Ilmor-Chevrolet engines right now.Too based for this gay earth, although GM had already ruined everything that made Saturn cool by that point.
>>149089744Literally impossible to dislike

>>149102088That is a lot of confident ESL lack of reading comprehension. Muh environment or not doesn't change wasting a ton of money and time, it just took this long to get Monaco and Montreal to move dates around to fix it.
Next year is the earliest possible date for the 500 by the way so it likely won't even happen in 2027 or most other years.
Sรฉbastien Bourdais has been racing at Le Mans since 1999
Anyways remember that there's a bunch of guys that aren't racing at Le Mans this year because they're stuck in some crime ridden shithole on the Illinois border to race in front of half empty grandstands instead. I don't think there's even been an attempt at an excuse for it either, I mean the thing got rescheduled to a different TV start time anyways.
jamie chadders chadwick will be driving nude at le mans
>>149104360And F1 is in Montreal and NASCAR is in Mexico. What's your point? It's pretty clear that all of the racing series hate each other a lot right now, possibly worse than ever (idk). I wouldn't have been shocked if NASCAR forced IMSA to schedule a race this weekend (though they don't have as much power over IMSA teams/drivers as they do in Cup, so they definitely would have lost that battle)

>>149102334That's 500 laps - the most logical way to describe race distance.
>>149101937OK, after looking a little closer, and while they are all really amazing and well thought out, I especially like the Italian mechanic and the tin foil hat Irish frogs.
My freaking sides!
The remote control 499P and the burning couch are nice touches as well. The longer I look at this, the more beautiful it gets. This should be the OP for at least one of the bakes, if not the first one.
>>149101937LMAOKEK great
>>149105198kek
the closest I was able to get to him was like 1.5meters in the photography pit
I would never-ever pay some bullshit meet and greet package btw
>>149102004No one who likes Indy is going to miss the 500 for Montreal of all races and no one who likes F1 is going to put down the cool-aid to watch an actual race, so there's really no love lost even if they overlap. They should really only run one race in the US anyway and it should be on that shit sucking track they built for them. You could just do Canada at the end of September then.
>>149102911No worries, you deserve a day to just have fun.

>>149105327is that some kind of cartel shootour in the background? what were the intentions?
>>149106687WWTR always sets off explosions past the backstretch before the start. Idk why... I guess becuase they have the equipment already so why not
>>149106687That's what they do before the start at Gateway.
Cool stuff, but could be weird if you don't watch Indycar.
>>149103487kick F1 out of the Triple Crown
replace with the Bathurst 1000
>>149103557They moved the Monaco date.
>>149106866Nah the Bathurst 12hr.
The 1000 only allows like one wild card entry and it usually goes to a couple of shitters.
At least with the 12hr it's part of a global series and has a genuine entry path for any international driver to participate.
>>149106851>>149106837ah okay I thought this is already the mexico race but no
>>149107136NASCAR goes to Mexico this weekend, not IndyCar (they go to Toronto later)
>>149107005>The 1000 only allows like one wild card entryMonaco allows 0
>>149107186aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yeah true
>>149107005triple crown is about iconic heritage events, 12h bathurst is running like since the 90s.
The hungarian grand prix has bigger historical status than that, so the 1000 is way more apropriate

> WHOOOPSIE
>>149107418Yeah that's a fair point, I stand corrected
If only the Targa Florio or the Mille Miglia still existed. Would be absolutely perfect substitutes.
The again, Dakar Rally could be a nice contender. Despite the fact it's not really Dakar anymore.
This is the official bop rig stats for this years race.
>>149108058Rally Monte Carlo khm
>>149106866Nah, let those pussies run the Gesamtstrecke or AVUS and make that the F1 part of the triple crown.
>inb4 they don't exist any more F1 has the money to bring them back.
>inb4 its too dangerous Caracciola, Rosemeyer and Stuck did it without a seat belt.
>>149108239It had occurred to me because it keeps it in Monaco sorta but you're never gonna get someone chasing the triple crown winning a WRC event. It's far too specialised a skill set I think.
>>149107456>>149107489Yeah, I'm thinking based.
>>149107973(kek I stayed at that brno hotel already like twice in the last few years what is advertised on the hood of the car)
>>149108058>Targa Florio>Mille MigliaThese are also acceptable
>>149108150They still can change it before the Hyperpole, right?
Won't be surprised if they do.
>bulega will stay at ducati and will be the 2nd motogp test rider along with pirro
>marini will attempt to race at mugello, according to the italians lekuona is on standby
>bautista is out of ducati, is trying to get toprak's seat at bmw
>bmw will have a meeting to discuss their future in pooper bikes
>davide tardozzi will leave ducati at the end of year, gino borsoi from pramac is the main candidate to take his place
and sergio garcia, who according to the spanish press deserved to go to motogp more than ogura, will lose his seat due to poor results
>>149108150None of that matters. It's going to come down to Ferrari and Toyota and who fuckes it up at the end.
BMW and Porsche are going to be fast as fuck on Hunaudiรจres, though. Maybe the Aston, too.
Sometimes I wonder if Le Mans might love lining up all of the cars and taking photos more than they love actually racing them...
>>149108680This weekend, for me, it's
Aston Martin
Cadillac
Alpine
Peugeot
BMW
Porsche
Ferrari
Toyota
As far as who I want to win.
>>149108451>None of that matters.It has Robert Kubica worried about the 499p's race performance.
https://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/kubica-raises-raceability-concerns-for-ferrari-499p/
>>149109134Do you mean to tell me that a race car driver wasn't completely happy with his car? In a practice session? I've never heard of such a thing!
What he actually said
>โLooking at pure [top speed] numbers, itโs difficult to draw conclusions,โ Kubica told Sportscar365. โItโs the way you get there that makes the biggest difference.>I am pretty happy with what I felt in the car,โ Kubica said. โIf this will translate into the start of the race on Saturday, I am not sure. >The Polish ex-Formula 1 driver set the fastest time in the opening session of the test, and followed up with the third-fastest time in the afternoon, ending up 0.656 seconds shy of the benchmark established by Toyota driver Brendon Hartley.>Ferrariโs top representative was the factory No. 51 car in which James Calado was second-fastest, 0.531 seconds behind the No. 8 Toyota in the afternoon session. Those gaps are pretty fucking huge, even on a track as long as le Sarth, but I also don't think the engineers on any of the teams have the cars dialed all the way up.
I agree with Kubica that the LMDh feild is more competitive this year and I wouldn't be surprised if a Porsche or BMW sneaks onto the podium, but I really do think this is Ferrari's/Toyota's race to lose.
>>149108404even before the race
>>149108404>>149109587It's an attempt to keep teams from sand bagging.

I can't really watch it because I have to wake up at 4:30 every day, though.
>>149110464oh there are subtabs on the calendar section, ddint even know that
i mainly watch kubota and woo, i started with woo but then i noticed there was a 2nd "big" series where most of the drivers raced there too
>>149110593Yeah, it's pretty based, but I gotta go to bed. Sheeeeeeiiiit.
>>149095590they were planning on pulling out because Honda were consistently the second-worst engine package on the grid. they announced their departure shortly before Max had his surge in 2021. the Max domination in 2022-2023 convinced them to change their minds and come back in.
>>149099456because Mazda never built a 3.5L car so they were already homologaged for C2.

> TOYOTA GAZOO Racing unveils liquid hydrogen-fueled "GR LH2 Racing Concept" at Le Mans
- TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has unveiled the GR LH2 Racing Concept, a liquid hydrogen (LH2) fueled test car to advance the development of hydrogen technology in motorsports. It made its public debut at the Circuit de la Sarthe where it is being exhibited at the H2 Village, organized by the Automobile Club de lโOuest, during the 93rd Le Mans 24 Hours (11-15 June).
- It is based on the GR010 HYBRID Hypercar which currently participates in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Through future track testing, the GR LH2 Racing Concept will support Toyotaโs continuous development of hydrogen technology and infrastructure, as well as helping build relationships to expand the possibilities of hydrogen through the challenge of motorsports.
>>149117791honestly think it looks better than the gr010
>>149113483>if I've missed anyone I think maybe you could add a French frog (redundant, kek). I know they don't post enough to be identifiable, but I felt bad for leaning one out on my group picture but I didn't have room by the time I realized it.
>>149117110>I know that it's a massively long shot for the /FAT/ and the Valks, but one can dreamI wouldn't be mad about either one of those at all. I should have clarified that I meant the factory Porsches. I would probably explode of a privateer team won le Mans.
>>149089993>for realIts written fr fr, Grandpa.
C+, apply yourself.
>>149117468the internet crew
>>149117675The barriers are winning the battle so far.
Also I don't know what's going on today but this bullshit 120sec post timer is resetting every time I post and it's annoying as all fuck.
>>149117901And right as I posted this, two cars crashed right in front of the pit lane.
LMP3s never disappont.
I take it the WEC YouTube channel won't stream FP1/2/QUAL live?
Guess I'll have to find an 'alternative' stream.
>>149118004I remember last year, I don't even think the LPM3 shitters in RTLM even managed to do a single race. I just remember standing at Virage and watching the safety car go around for almost the entirety of their races. I don't think they got one complete uninterrupted green lap.
And the official one - files@catbox@moe/bqe5ha.pdf
>>149117901>Also I don't know what's going on today but this bullshit 120sec post timer is resetting every time I post and it's annoying as all fuck.IKR. If you've recently started a new browser session, it seems to happen about five times before finally fucking stopping.
Almost as annoying as that fucking faggot 15 minute timer, before the ten day shut-down.
>>149118106It's not just in Le Mans, if you watch the rest of the MLMC races it's always a long string of safety cars or red flags with hardly any racing in between.
The problem is that the average skill level is very low, but the championship still awards a LM24 entry, so you get a really bad mix of total amateurs vs hyper combative drivers fighting for a spot in the big race the following year. It's an overall bad championship and it has always been like that.
I don't know how you could solve this problem, but at some point someone has to step in and draw a line on how bad your driving can be for such a "high profile" championship. After all, it's a full season ELMS side event and they get to race here during the 24h week so it's not like some crappy local cup race that nobody watches.
>>149118117I'm a filthy phoneposter and I'm using an app to post here. It was fine until yesterday, I could post multiple times with no timer in between until I switched network or picked up a WiFi. Today for some reason the timer resets every time I post. I hope it's not going to be like this for the rest of the week
Practice 1 in 45 minutes, nerds.
47 mins to FP1.

WRC USA infos
> The US round of the WRC is planned to take place next year in the state of Tennessee, in and around the city of Chattanooga.
Burger bros, is this good? (For me it seems odd bc it does not build on a local rally (that one is located around newport as I see)
Head of WRC Promoter says they are progressing really well, finishing the details of a test event to run later this year
In a rather unusual move the series promoter actually puts their money into the organising effort
There is a multi year contract also, so it wont be a one off event
> โWeโve got a contract in place. There is a contract in place for 2026 and beyond. Itโs a multi-year agreement,โ Larkin revealed.

>>149119290>>149119317Makes my cock hard. Very sad how castrated and pozzed motorsport has become these past 20 years.
It's a shame that the Astons are dog slow. Though in the test day, they were 'only' three seconds off fastest. Though over a 24 hour race...
Now 11th and 12th, but on slow times; 6-8 sec slower than their test day times.
The butt you see for the last 20 years
12 Jota to 6th place.
50 Ferrari does a 3:25.3 in P1.
Astons bumped to 18th and 19th :-/

>>149119395Doesn't anyone think that he's wasted in LMGT3? I wonder if his team-mate will fuck it up, like he did last year.
I know VR tested a hypercar over the winter, but come on.
>>149119395I only got into motogp a short while ago. Is Marquez really so much worse a character than Rossi? Only knowing the current version of him all the hate seems a bit much.
>>149119406I often fell asleep to the night-time coverage of last year's 24. Very comfy.
Would have done last year's Nurburging 24 more often had it not been an eight hour race, kek.

>>149119430Wonder if he'll split the red Ferraris again.
>>149119420Kek they crashed right in front of me last year.
When the track opened to the public at the end of the race I ran up to get a carbon souvenir but didn't find anything good.
>>149119467Well here's a happier memory.
Rossi 16th in class. Bros...

Somebody farts and there's a red flag. Such faggotry.

>>149120040I wondered what the fuck that was about.
Bouncing like he cut through a gravel trap, but there's no gravel.
>>149120057Went over the grass infield I think. It's just shit quality video so can't really see it
50 Ferrari almost a full second faster than the 8 Toyota's test time.
P2-P4 also faster than that test time.
Fastest Aston 0.7s slower than the Aston test time. Now 4.6s off the ultimate pace.
Nick Daemon reporting that the Grove team are working on the car that caused the red flag so presumably Steven Grove can't have been that badly hurt?
>>149120177And now the stream has shown the repairs being made on that car.

>>149120897Also, due to Williams F1 in 1994-97, I'm pretty gay for a Rothmans livery.
I also loved the West McLaren livery. Fucking mood.
>>149120898They aren't fucked by BoP at all. They're at minimum weight and max power, though they do lose some power above 250 kmh.
They're just fucked by the regulations.
>>149120961And nobody cares, because we're all supporting Aston Martin.
>>149120975https://www.the-race.com/wec-le-mans/what-explains-aston-martins-lacklustre-other-big-project/
They have to run a detuned Cosworth and had to start with the worst BoP, before an adjustment.
>>149120966>due to Williams F1 in 1994-97, I'm pretty gay for a Rothmans livery.>I also loved the West McLaren liveryImpeccable taste. I also do have a soft spot for the 2006 livery with the chrome silver and Johnny Walker black combination, before Vodafone came in

>>149121070Quali's due to start at 12:45 PM ET, so about another bong and 40 bings
>>149121042They have to use an engine that's within the regulations. It was their choice to use one that is much more capable than the rules allow. Every new car gets fucked by BoP initially.
>>149120662>>149120682I honestly don't mind baking one, and I've been contemplating that all day to be honest, but I wanna see what the general consensus here is

>>149121307To me this all feels like fake manufactured drama united statesian jews like to push.
>>149121709Thats exactly what it is, the thing is neither of these races will have that many people watching them (regardless of their fake viewership numbers) so to them any publicity is good publicity, both f1 and indycar are going under financially so this is all they have left to resort to.
Dave Sapienza has been denied an entry for the Modified Tour at Riverhead. I hadn't heard about this incident but it certainly sounds like something he would do.
>The original issue between Sapienza and Riverhead management began on April 27, 2024. Sapienza was attending an open practice that day at Riverhead. During the practice an official made a mistake in letting cars onto the track leading to Sapienza losing out on his round of practice.
>Sapienza exacerbated the issue on Sept. 14, 2024 when Riverhead was hosting the NASCAR Modified Tour Eddie Partridge 256. During the running of that event, Sapienza parked an aerial lift bucket on property adjacent to the Riverhead Raceway property. The bucket lift could be seen by those on the property at Riverhead for the event. The bucket had a cutout figure of Sapienza in it and displayed various signs through the night, some disparaging of track management.
>>149121307keep seething goy
like a burger commented none of the series will lose any kind of viewers, a driver doing double duty was already out of question with the monaco clash
ive only seen jurnos and indycar extremists seething only
jurnos will seethe bc it will be harder to cover both but they will try to reel in to think there is some bs other reason.
indy extremists will seethe basicallly everything about F1, they are the ones spreading malice among the regular fans

>>149122196b-but the bazillion manufacturers using lmp2s as rolling billboards anon... the golden age...
>>149120818I'm guessing aero or possibly suspension since their BoP is really quite good.
Is anyone knows where to find the drag coefficient they use for BoP or the exact formula, I'd love yo know.
>>149122089Hypercar, hybrids and BoP seem a lot gayer.
>>149122235I missed the first practice but on the timing sheets they're only about 2 seconds off? Thats fairly respectable, They are right there on speed, being their first LM24 they could be going all out for reliability which is what they need to prioritise.
>>149120830Make sure to bookmark it!
>>149120985I care, honestly. I put Aston Martin at the top of my list, but I really want the French cars to do well.

btw hybrids would be at a huge advantage if fia and aco wouldnt try to peg them back with the minimum deployment speed and max stint energy thing as an equivalence of tech measure
not a fan of those LMP2s...
>>149122319Never forget the others that played their part too
>>149122445yeah, those liveries are reminiscent of graphics used in bags of chips kek
It's a shame that people shit on LMP2s. Not as pozzed as hypercars and 'only' 10-11 seconds slower.
Also the chassis being identical makes the driver the biggest difference. Impossible to predict who will take class pole or victory.
>>149122281thats within the 2% difference the BoP is aiming for. The rest comes from setup/driver skill/car driveability
I wouldnt be surprised that having a tuned down engine and converting a road car into a racecar fucked it's balance and driveability and they havent sorrted those out completely
>>149122469>the chassis being identical makes the driver the biggest difference.kek do you actually believe that
The Valkyie had ~1160HP, but here it has to be 671HP. Lost over 40% of it's power.
>>149122469they're just not as cute as the different cars in GT3
plus I just generally don't like the look of prototype sportscars, give me silhouettes or give me something I will still watch but not be as happy about
