>>149470917
Honda are already a joke even considering this fraud, he's only after a big payout as he knows he's shit and rushed into a deal with Aprilia out of anger for Ducati rightfully rejecting him.

Honda have no real intention of getting back to the top and just want a champion name in the team to sell bikes to sea monkeys.

Libre is best Formula.

I was happy to see Alesi win.

Your machine translator couldn't parse "24H" huh

After the SuperGT round last night it’s got me thinking miku should be doing better than 45th. Nob is 54 and Kataoka is 50… yikes.

>>149475069
The one thing I will say is that there was about 10 GT300 cars missing from that race and while half of those are habitual backmarkers, it does include Gainer and the Anest Iwata RC-F that is still 7th in points even with missing a round, and operationally renting a German car for Spa is totally different than running your own. But I've felt like there's a good chance this is something of a send off vacation for the old lineup all along.

>>149474787
You just can't understand context.
The hill has been reprofiled again, for the purposes of F1, with no regard for any other cars.

>>149474644
the latest reprofile was nowhere near as neutering to spa than all the tarmac runoffs which were laid down so the getleman drivers in the gt races like this weekend, shitters, and track day tourists wont fuck up sessions with stuck in gravel cars
every day you try to confabulate some bullshit, the reprofile was not made to cater to f1 also

Sepang Promoter Reveals Plans for GT500 Wildcard in 2026
>HARO Sports & Entertainment, the promoter for this weekend’s SUPER GT race at Sepang, has revealed plans for a GT500 wildcard entry for next year’s event.
>Hasan described the plans, which would be a first in the history of SUPER GT, as a “work in progress” with no manufacturer currently attached to the project, although he expressed a desire for one of the drivers to be Malaysian.
>He added that such a project was important to “keep up the momentum, to create something bigger” that would enable the event to draw an even larger crowd in 2026.
>This weekend’s event features two wildcard entries on the grid in the GT300 class, with Earl Bamber Motorsport operating a Porsche 911 GT3 R and an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo that each have a local driver as part of their respective driver lineups.
Pog. The EBM entries were wayyyy off the pace this weekend though and were nothing but moving chicanes even for the other GT300s

Yeah, I feel asleep with about 50 to go and what's worse, my driver finally won a race but what I saw was pretty good. I had been up since Super GT, so IDK what I was thinking.

Go to a Super GT race

Tickets are easy to get at the race itself in case the websites don't play along. I have never regretted going to a Super GT event in person.

>>149499029

Even worse knowing the drivers have open face helmets

>>149499029

>>149499104

Yeah just spend €2,000 on tickets bro

Man, even Trans-Am ran yesterday.

>>149499104
yeah the ticket is really cheap if you dont need to travel the world (40USD for a weekend ticket)
But kek even the cheapest flight is 1800 USD. (then you have the other expenses like stay and local travle, etc)
from that money I can go to le mans or spa and be a king,
and Im fairly confident the new saud arabian wrc round would be substantially cheaper

>>149490354
>Binder asked his manager to look for options in WSBK because he's tired of the "situation" in MotoGP

He wont go there, He belongs in gp, Aprilia should stop all the shit with Shartin and let him go and get somebody like Binder.

For me to fly from my regional airport in the Eastern US to Tokyo for the August race at Fuji is under $1,000 even with the hidden fees. Three days at the Fuji hotel is about $1,000 plus I would probably want to see a bit of to Tokyo so another couple hundred for accommodation in Chiba City (HUGE William Gibson fan.) And let's budget another $1,000 for incidentals, food, hats etc. Maybe do the whole thing for $3,500 which is pretty fuggin expensive, but you cant put a price on an adventure like that. Still, I might rather do the WEC event because it's a 6 hour rather than a 2-3 hour race.

That is quite tempting since I haven't seen FIA cars since the ALMS folded, but idk how much more time I can take off this year. I do know someone who lives in DFW and likes racing, so I have that advantage, but I already intend on going to Petit le Mans, IndyCar Nashville, and probably the fall Bristol race. If you are going to any of those, HMU. I'll let you know ITT if I can make it to Texas.

Singapore, bro, if you just buy a plane ticket and an entry ticket, we'll pick you up at the airport and you can camp with us for free. You can probably have your own tent even. I bet you could do the whole trip for under $1,500.
This is not a joke. We are extremely experienced in this sort of travel logistics, especially within the US. If not this year, maybe next year. Road Atlanta is basically my Mecca.

I understand, I typically don't like to travel longer than the race I'm going to see. I bet you wouldn't regret going to Portland, but I am equally sure WEC at COTA would be more fun. I have family in Nor Cal and I was thinking about making a cheeky visit with a side trip to Laguna Seca for IndyCar or IMSA.

>>149504486
After watching NASCAR and IMSA run there its wild to see how wide that track is for normal cars. It's basically a 4 lane highway.

Still, IDK why TA ran yesterday along with NASCAR Cup.

>>149504614
Yeah, Laguna would be great. The facility looks a lot more fun than Portland, and there's 3 support races it seems instead of 2. (Portland only has 1 NXT and USF Pro, Laguna has 2 NXTs, Porsches, and Radical Cup whatever that is).
Apparently Alaska Airlines even does nonstop flights to Monterrey airport... hmm.....

>>149504771
>Still, IDK why TA ran yesterday along with NASCAR Cup.
couple of weekends are flipped that way this year for some reason.
maybe if there's a considerable number of drivers in ta2 driving elsewhere, like annunziata in this race? no idea.

What a shit show in Elkhart lake

>>149505070
last year's ta2 was the same

boooo

>>149504827
>3 support races it seems instead of 2.
Yeah, having support races is actually a pretty big deal for in person attendance. I have taken people to Pitet for the entire weekend and when I asked them what the best part was, they said MX-5 Cup! Kek.
Also, Portland is cool, but Laguna Seca is absolutely world class, but there really isn't any reason you couldn't do both. Also, keep in mind that on the other side of the Bay, there is Sonoma, which is completely neglected by most series these days. It's such a great track and I really wish IMSA or IndyCar would run there. I think seeing a NASCAR weekend there would be worth the trip, but that's kind of short notice this year.

>>149505070
>>149505104
TA2 is often a shit show, but sometimes it delivers. I watch most of them anyway.
The real thing is that the main TA race should be TA and the most accomplished TA2 drivers only and not whatever random classes they can't find a a race for. It would go a very long way in re-legitimizing the series.

>>149505349
NASCAR does race at Sonoma

>>149505425

>>149505425
I know, but it's in two weeks. That is a bit short notice to book a race vacation. Especially in such an expensive part of the country.

>>149505491
I like GTWC, but I am not flying to California to watch dozens of extended FCY sessions. Sonoma is pretty bad about that for SRO. They just repaved it, so the surface is pretty good, I just want a second big money series to run there because it's a great track and I want it to do well. Also, I did so many laps in Grand Turismo there, it's unreal. It's one of my best tracks in vidya.

Members of the Ku Klux Klan inspect Ralph de Palma's Miller on the Overland Park highway. Denver, Colorado, July 1925.

This race was sanctioned by AAA and organized by the Denver Auto Racing Association. The driver is Ralph de Palma himself, who finished second in the first day's race. This is not IndyCar yet, but what was then called big cars racing, which evolved after the World War II into what are now called sprint cars.

They are a horrendous value new because of specshit gouging, maybe about okay for a really cheap used one compared to all the parts to do a really nice road course conversion on a perimeter frame late model with a crate motor that hasn't been marked up 30% to be allowed to race in one series.

>>149473696
I was going to say watching Zarco's brake lever guard snap instantly in this crash that I'm not sure they're robust enough to be very effective and it sure didn't do jack shit today did it? Dion Device never caught on between being trickier to find inside bar mounting space over a bar end insert and the pure economic disparity of a Canadian product trying to compete in the motorcycle racing market but maybe there was something to be said for it. Or even the big beef ugly Woodcraft and Vortex clamp on ones where they have some resistance to rotation.

>>149505349
>there is Sonoma, which is completely neglected by most series these days. It's such a great track

For years Sonoma was my home track, it's a great place to watch either the road course or the drag strip.

>>149510627
>NHRA Big Show runs there in 4 weeks.
Yeah, I guess they do good business, but it seems slower since the Sears Point/Infenion days. It's just a spectacular natural terrain road course and I feel like it's not as prestigious as it deserves to be. I guess maybe the facilities and safety infrastructure aren't what some series would like them to be, but I really love it.

>it seems slower since the Sears Point/Infenion days
Even though Sears Point is owned by Bruton Smith, the local Sonoma track management doesn't seem to be promoting the track as much as it could, or has in previous years.

And that lack of year-round local community involvement means smaller crowds even when national events are held, and those smaller crowds are used as justification for even less community interaction, and that's the spiral downward into selling the land to a housing developer.

btw since splitting with Hussi (when they won wrc2c last rally finland) Joona Lauri is shitting left and right

Take it the WAT sticker gives it away kek. Sad to be peeling the Spa24 stickers off the car already

>>149514029
Of the newer ones I enjoyed American Thunder quite a bit, but I was also there loving the damn Garage 56 NASCAR so I may be biased

>>149518980
Think this is enough spam from me but anyway go to Spa (I have said this before here) it's a great track to visit as a spectator and it's really good for amateur photos without any special access required. The elevation gets you out of the way of the fences easily

>>149518997
Very cool, anon. Thanks for sharing.
>The elevation gets you out of the way of the fences easily
If you get close to the fence, you can use your apature and focal length to basically make it disappear, but getting it out ofbthe way entirely is way better.

>>149518505
Tfw whatever happened to racer waifus? D:

>>149519501

>>149518890
Yeah, the WAT sticker gave it away totally kek. Anyway those stickers and your car looked very nice. I was in a black Merc beside you when the construction splitted the roads.

>>149519108
>getting close to the fence
I used that for pic related, when it was still possible to do such shots at Eau Rouge. I pressed my lens into the fence for that. Don't know about the parameters anymore, except focal length 135mm and 1/500s. Given it was shot on analog film.

>>149519501
Onlysimps became the new liberation

>>149519655
>feminism and "inclusivity"
You can minimise that to one word: marxism
Basically what f1 is now

>>149519108
Problem is I'm cheaping out and using a all-in-one type camera (Nikon P900) which doesn't really allow me to focus manually, so generally I have to autofocus on the spot I want to take the pic at and then I change to following the car. Can't take bursts either (technically the camera can but they look horrendous), so it's harder than with a DSLR but still fine. It's good for passing time at the track

Wow, the results are really impressive. The problem for me with the SLR is that I am never sure I have the settings where I want then amd I end up fiddling with the damn thing so much I miss whatever is going on.

>>149521058
I got a Canon entry level something or other in the household that I can borrow but yeah, that problem happens to me too kek. I just looked at the prices of buying a fairly useable lens for motorsport and decided fuck it I'm spending it on a camera that can zoom to absolute fuck and then i'll just sort the pics. Pic related, taken with said Canon back in 2019 at Sebring (with I believe a 55mm lens)

>>149519501

Simply american lib mindset.
There is an european IT conference of an american product/company I visit regularly, every year it is held in a different country and a few years ago when it was in the balkans, the american women in the company chimped out bc the local organizers brought in beautiful hostesses for the registration, meet and greet part.
Liberty is just juuz without any kind of le secret agenda, they are going for every dollar imaginable and back then they thought they will be aale to bring in the libshit femhams with booting off the grid girls
Case in point afaik they dont want to cancel the motogp umbrella girls, neither FIA is against them. Like for example at wrc ceremonial starts greece were still using models in stilletos last year and no one even said a thing
WEC still axed them as they try to do everything for growth 10.years ago but thats it

>>149521486
estonia cannot into scandinavia because noone does truck rallying like we do

Honestly it's a little sad to see. As an Asian, girls and models are still intrinsically linked to car culture over here and my colleagues all asked me right before I went over to the Sepang SGT race if I'd be taking photos of the "bunny girls", kek

absolute great from that equipment you have
I will go and try to take my gear to hungaroring this weekend, but my 36y old minolta 300 2.8 is chronically shit (okay that was never the greatest of its kind but It was half the price it usually sells for a reason, I bought it from a portugese retard who tried to clean it and done more damage than improvement)
Might rent out a proper tele

>>149521058
just use auto and when you have time start to experiment and you will find. Also I dunno how it goes there but when there is a new camera or lens launch the companies do free thematical workshops here in conjunction with stores. If said new gear is sports focused sometimes its motorsport. When the Canon 100-300 2.8 launched 2 years ago they held it at a track day. (picrel is a shitty practice photo from then)
These are great opportunities to practice

>>149521709
Kek I remember it was fuckin cool, also 2 years later there was the GAZ race between the team bosses* (including moncet)

>>149521338
Oh cool, are these those V8 engine Gaz trucks the team bosses raced in 2022 ?

>>149522360
those are indeed yes, theyve not really changed too much from back in 2022
>>149522346
i remember the commentators being somewhat mesmerized by the cinema aswell, it was absolute peak of times

>>149521146
>>149521058
also btw mirrorless is a huge help in that you actually see what kinda photo you will get.
For panning shot if you dont want to f9ddle with settings, just put it into shutter speed priority, take it down to 120th or slower and just shoot.
Composition and capturing the important moment matters more than how high your iso or how clinically sharp your image is

>>149521152
or just in classic fashion the guy running that station underestimated the popularity of the gt and hypercuck and ordered 1000 f1 cars and 10 -10 from the others.
wouldnt be the first time in the history of commerce
something sold out in sa store compared to sg else is as vague indicator as viewership numbers

because the music is quick and the video is cut to it.
Not the always playing slow hip hop beats and cars taking on slow corners and rough roads SLOWLY you always see in the event trailers (event intros are a bit better ttbt but you only see those in the broadcast )
Im fuckin bored of watching boring ass slow cars when these are one of the fastest cars rally stages ever saw. That video is great because at least tries to give back the insane speeds the cars are capable. Even other fast rallies like finland, estonia or poland had these slow ass videos

>>149523931

>a camera that can zoom
That's the key. I had a small and an intermediate lense, but for sports, especially vrooms, you need at least 500mm+ lenses for anything outside the paddock. I stopped shooting when film became obsolete and my faggot phone works kind of OK, but I do often think about getting back into it.
>>149522445
>mirrorless is a huge help
I like the digital preview backs, but I'm an old fag and I like to use the small view finder. Like I mentioned above, I don't even have a modern digital camera but if I were to get one I would probably just get a Canon EOS since I already have lenses and stuff for that platform.

IDK how things work in Chile, but in the States, retail promotional stuff is strictly
>You git what you git and you don't pitch a fit.
It's very unlikely that the station manager had any say in the matter, let alone concern or interest. That being said, the corporate level decision was probably to flood the stores with F1 cars based on viewership.
One thing you can rest assured of is that no one in the decision making process gives a single shit about racing.

How is it irrevelant if its based on real public financial records that are actually far worse now because they continue to lose money every year? Just like i thought, you've got nothing, you're the same faggot f1 simp who comes in straight away to defend it every time its under attack.

ah okay. I talk about the "small viewfinder" it just in mirrorless cameras they are not optical but a high resolution and high fps digital display.
btw basically every slr lens can be adapted to any brand mirrorless bodies nowadays (my go to prime is a 30+ year old screwdrive minolta 200 2.8 I use on a Sony A7R V) and modern electronic viewfinders are pretty instant and can be even blackout free (which is a nice advantage over even optical viewfinders of slrs) if you are not going for a high res body like me (im talking about 61+mpx here) . Old EVFs were bad thats no question, but for like 1500usd used there are stacked sensor cameras which are the speed champions with a 100 isd adapter you can use all your old glass
Tech and quality are pretty much converged together in the camera industry I usually say buy 1. what fits in your budget without finance 2. feels best to use 3. makes sense for you lens wise (given that the nips at canon for example dont allow currently 3rd party manufacturers do the possibilities and selection is way shorter than anywhere else apart pentax)

the trucks got nerfed the year after thought it was only madman de rooy who was running the roided trucks, cars naturally evolved from "adapted for" to specifically designed prototypes, the bikes got nerfed first in the mid 2000s with the ban on the big twins and then 2011 when they went from 690 to the 450 engines we have today

In 2001 François Duval did some of the best rallies of his career with an S1600 against none other than Sebastien Loeb in a much superior Saxo. Duval was able to take great advantage until the car broke down or made a mistake. I think at the time they were both considered equally talented
IIRC Loeb did an exhibition or something with the Puma in Spain in 2002

thanks for the book tip, I havent seen this yet
yeah I remember the hype around duval in his youth, he definitely had the speed

>>149543821
Fundementals of driving, and the nuances of the track. It also gives him time to demonstrate if he's actually Cup material before wasting shitloads of money on him and the cars he crashes or fails to make competitive. Derbst is merely the latest example of a kid who offered plenty of indication he was never going to be Cup caliber, and is doing his absolute best to prove it now.

>>149548212
are you sarcastic? the beaner had 89 races in the cup, 2 full seasons of xfin and 77 races in asscar mexico (yeah I have wikipedia to look up the numbers)
I don't think Suarez will take up some really new knowledge in xfin or actually should need to pick up at this point.
If with this kinda history he is not cup material, he wont be either even after 10 more xfinity seasons

Hungarians really are illiterate huh?

Honestly hilarous how Nascar made Suarez the face of nascar for about 1 month leading up to the race in Mexico, as if it was all for Suarez, etc.

Then he gets fucking dumped. lmao. It was all a show, as expected. Cause when real money is on the line, nobody cares about the show.

https://sportscar365.com/lemans/asian-lms/manufacturers-offer-cautious-support-for-hypercar-class/

Manufacturers Offer Cautious Support for Asian Hypercar Class
>Representatives from Porsche, BMW and Ferrari have offered cautious support for plans for the Asian Le Mans Series to add a class for privateer Hypercars in 2026/27.
>Porsche Motorsport boss Thomas Laudenbach said he welcomed the move to open the Asian Le Mans Series to Hypercar customers, but said it was too soon to say with certainty that any 963s will be on the grid for the 2026/27 campaign.
>BMW has yet to begin supply its M Hybrid V8 to customers, although plans to do so are advancing, with the marque’s motorsport boss Andreas Roos having suggested not long ago that cars could be in privateer hands as early as next year.
>“If a customer approaches us, we would have to see how this is possible. It is not like running a GT3 car. You need much more effort and it doesn’t work without technical support from the manufacturer to run the cars.
>Ferrari expressed a similar sentiment to Roos, with a manufacturer spokesperson stating in response to a query by Sportscar365 that any participation by customers of the Italian marque would likely hinge on an earlier-than-normal end to the season.
>“It can be very interesting for us, of course,” said the spokesperson. “The only thing is that we should be sure that the season ends before January, in December.
>It appears likely that any Ferrari presence in the Hypercar class of the Asian Le Mans Series would involve AF Corse operating the car on behalf of a customer.


>Currently, the Asian Le Mans Series begins in December at Sepang and ends in February with a pair of Middle Eastern races in Dubai and Abu Dhabi,
>although organizers have suggested a more Southeast Asian-centric calendar is possible for 2026/27.

All the concept of the car seems to be very "trashy" but in a good way, really liked it (especially because I'm quite fond for the early Black Sabbath, and their "Master of Reality" album that is referenced on the top of the car), but the sides of the car with a different color scheme messed up what could be a great livery.
>>149542815
Great name for a full-time season at Xfinity with JRM. He might have a place on other Cup teams such as Kaulig, but I don't think it would be any kind of improvement if he went there (both Trackhouse and Kaulig share a issue: the technichal support from ECR/RCR, as if it exists somehow). Honestly, the best possible ride I can think of for him would be an hypothetical third car for 23XI or LMC, but since he doesn't have any relationship with Toyota, the best he could realistically manage to do is replacing someone at Spire.

>>149549641
Still no news on our beloved shitters such as Isotta Fraschini, Vanwall, or the best of them all: Glickenhaus going to support privateers in the ALMS?

>Still no news on our beloved shitters such as Isotta Fraschini, Vanwall, or the best of them all: Glickenhaus
Yeah, I know it is a long shot, but I really love the scrappy small teams, be it privateers or small time manufacturers. I feel like the small manufacturers are at risk of dissappearing as more and more major manufacturers join. I really, really miss the old days of pick a chassis, pick an engine or develop one or both of your own and hit the track. I think the PescaroloJuddwas one of the last cars to do that.

>>149550347
The Pescarolo C60 and all the 'Courage' cars were something on its own, and I really like how they are still remembered as a great sign of that era, where small teams could develop cars by their own, without suffering too much with the pressure coming from the big manufacturers (and I proudly own a 1/43 of the C60, really love that car). But if we force enough, we might say that the Rebellion R13 was indeed, the last "DIY prototype car" to be ever made, since the parts weren't made by Rebellion itself, it didn't have a partnership with any manufacturer AFAIK and even the chassis was based off of an LMP2 Oreca chassis, on a LMP1 car.
What amazes me is that it competed for 4 long seasons (counting the Alpine version of it too) and it had some occasional wins.

>>149549641
how tweaked out is the rari that they're so scared of giving away to an outsider?

>>149555182
They say they would supply the cars, the issue is logistics bc given the complexity of the car (BMW says the same even) they are needed to give a bigger factory support compared to a gt3 car
(pretty similar to rally1s where every car sold to people who cant get manufacturer support are stripped out a bit (like the one which went to the philippines), and most of the wildcard rides are run by the manufacturer mostly bc the complexity of hybrid )

>>149528114
Aaaaand as expected, despite the original plan being chille the next rally for Ogier, he is entered for Finland
The biggest eternal kwabbing would be for Evans if Seb steals the championship again

>>149549953
So these lads are literally starting from scratch? As in they're not taking over an existing team, Even toyota with all their resources tried this 20 years ago and built the best wind tunnel and had a half a billion euro budget a season and still didn't win a race in 8 seasons.

>>149556262
firsttly, toyota did not start from scratch, they repurposed their previous wrc and sportscar team.
dunno if you ever listened to people who drove for toyota or worked there, but it was more about inflexible japanese corpo structure and decision making, and that they literally sent wrc team to do F1 bc for upper management it was autosport both, so what can go wrong.
The aero and engine people were blaming each other all the time as well. IIRC Salo talked about that the engine had issues but the management was rock solid on the belief that they have the best engine by far on the grid and blamed the aero departments for lack of pace, even though they had to usually run with less DF to make up the shortcoming of the engines, etc...
it was a prime corpo shitshow even in the later part of their stint, but to fix these things took years

>>149549953
there are lot of jobs in motorsport (both on team and promoter side) you just need to search for it (and be content with having worse salary than what you would get for the same qualified job in other industries, and also a lot of travelling if you are in that part of the operation)

>>149550961
>if we force enough, we might say that the Rebellion R13 was indeed, the last "DIY prototype car"
Yeah, I thought about that, too. But I thought the Pescarolo car was a but more clear cut. I really liked the Rebellion cars.

Is it possible for Ogier to win the championship without running the full schedule? It would be pretty funny if it happened.

it would be funny, would be a bit bummed to see Loeb's record equalled but I am fine with anyone but Evans.

>>149557832
Original plan was for him to skip estonia and finland. Rally Estonia entry already closed for like 3-4 weeks now. So they could not get him in, only at the expense of someone else.
Possibly Toyota got afraid by the new found speed of hyundais on gravel (remember if neuville does not get hangooked they would been standing 1-2-3 at the end of friday) and landed a few hundred thousand euros of reasons for Ogier to have a stronger lineup on their second home event.

>>149557893
>>149558053
Already happened a few times in the past, but not in the "modern times", except when Loeb had to miss the last 3-4 rallies bc he broke his shoulder while cycling in 2006 or 2007 yet still got the championship by 1 point.
Röhrl usually skipped Safari rally for example, even in his wdc years

>Both Vanwall and Isotta Fraschini, former competitors in the FIA World Endurance Championship's Hypercar class, are looking at competing in the class in the Asian Le Mans Series, Only Endurance can reveal.
>'Yes, there is interest. I think we will,' Vanwall team boss, Colin Kolles, told Only Endurance.
>While the team has designed a new car, Kolles confirmed Vanwall will likely race the old car in AsLMS in 2026-27.
>'The time is too short to homologate the new car. 2026 now, it's too late for us, because we want to be well prepared.
>'Due to the circumstances of supplier issues, you have to have long lead times. And we cannot place orders without knowing if we can race or not.'
>However, the engine in the car, a Gibson GL458, was at a significant power deficit. At times, the 4.5-litre, naturally aspirated V8 engine was at a power deficit of up to 60kW, or 80 horsepower, compared to the competition. With Hypercars having a maximum power of 520kW as per the technical regulations, that's more than 10% of the total power.
>Kolles confirmed to Only Endurance that the car would run in AsLMS with this engine, but he is waiting for clarification regarding the regulations to proceed further.
>Like Vanwall, Isotta Fraschini has also expressed an interest in racing in the new AsLMS top class in 2026-27, the team confirmed to Only Endurance.
>While there are 'multiple options' available to the team, one of those routes is 'through partners', a representative said.

That worries me if Vanwall will attract any privateers to choose them to be their supplier, I know the one that will attract the most is probably Porsche, but since the ALMS is a "smaller" series, I hope Vanwall can be able to fully develop their car for their teams in order to offer a good battle between the rest of the other suppliers.
