Looked more like an immediate and rapid deconstruction of cooling system given it was white smoke. Would expect more blue smoke if it was a turbo

First of all, welcome new fren! Second, that's actually on the upper end of doable if you're insane.
Also, baseball is the best normie sport and also maybe hockey.

Here at Bathurst they had to actually restrict it to 24 beers per person for the race.

>>149474744
>24 glasses of wine
Fuck, I got a headache just reading that.
>24 glasses of schnapps
Even worse! Most Americans don't know what German schnapps is. Here schnapps is a super sweet syrupy liquor. In Germany, it's basically fruit moon shine.
>moules frites
Damn, I haven't had that in a while. So, 72 muscles? I think that's doable.

The Balkans have their own version right? It's called Rakia or something? I remember trying it with a bunch of Balkans I worked with like 10 years ago

they got the Mercedes working again?

>>149475026
A hospital. I was doing an exchange program in balkans, and they had developed bit of a tradition during covid times. So basically after a difficult patient there would be a schnapp given to the people who had to don whole-body-condoms essentially.

So that tradition kinda stuck on, so there are occasionally shots of home made schnapp being drunk in the middle of the work day. Not every day, not every week, but occasionally.

And shit like that, amongst with the absolutely stunning scenery, is why I fucking love balkans. Except for albania. Fuck albania.

Glow pony bros, it’s our time

>glow pony
Wow that's cool

>>149475045
They are not really similar or related, but they are both strong alcohols. Raki is definitely the stronger spirit.

Homemade Raki can knock you out. Worst thing I've ever drunk in my life, which is kinda similar, was homemade Zivania from Cyprus.

Jesus Christ, that's all I have to say about it.

>>149475256
>>149475274
It's really cool and the car sounds amazing. It's my favorite GT car now that the Corvette is mid engine.

>>149475297
So raki is like absinthe?

Wait what? That's actually Valentino Rossi????

>>149475417
>So raki is like absinthe

Not really, but absinthe is stronger

>>149475490
yep, he's been racing since 2022

The Lotus Emira GT4 won its class.

Those 24h race livestreams would be a lot more /comfy/ if the commentators would shut up even for a few minutes. My ears are bleeding from all the talking.
And no, switching to onboard streams isn't a valid alternative. They're cool for a few minutes but not for the whole race

>>149475490
yeah, he's been doing endurance racing for quite some time now

>>149475417
raki is a clean 'water of life' type spirit made of fruits, quite similar to our pálinka (the main difference is stricter regulations for the latter)

>>149475560
just switch to one of the onboards
problem solved

I am truly impressed with Rossi's skills as a GT driver. I will admit I had some doubts at first that it was a bit of a gimmick or hobby, but he has proven himself to be a solid, competitive driver. I am really quite pleased to see him being successful and bringing his skills and prestige to sports car racing.
Thank you, Rossi.

>>149475560
They tried to shut the fuck for one full lap but they failed.

>>149475490
yeah he is

Is Valentino Rossi considered a handsome man?

>>149475512
They sound so cool in person. Way better than any Coyote Mustang I have ever heard on the street and almost as good as the old GTS/GT1 Corvettes.

Dont forget to mention it was because a German saw a Frenchman and tried to buttfuck him because for a second he thoughts its WW2 again

/biz/-idea: 24h races TV-coverage with HDR blinding you at night

And AMG giving up first opportunity they got, cant wait till the #17 does the technical stop, looses one lap and suddenly they feel the urge to retire the car.

Why was he crying?

Looks like a funeral in that garage, wtf

that's the crashed mclaren and porsche being blown to pieces

I think the #46 spun the #51 Around, it would be something Rene Rast does

why do drivers hit the rumble strips in the corners? accidental? or intentional to slow down faster so you make the turn easier but spend less time in the corner?

>>149476033
It's been pretty soul so far despite all the FCYs, but multiclass racing would have made it a lot better.

>>149476033
A German anon has done an amazing job posting webms. Check those out.

>>149476135
you have to always have minimum 2 wheels on track, so they minmax the width

>>149476036
This is absolutely amazing.

>>149476036
Are you the same anon who was making webms for burger king last week? Increase your bitrate so you get better quality you have plenty of room.

>>149476208

>>149476208
>Increase your bitrate so you get better quality you have plenty of room.
it's hit and miss. I get plenty of clips, where the mp4 gets above 4mb, and the webm barely gets below 4mb. During the night the files might be a bit smaller, because the compression has a lot of black, I guess.

>>149476135
It's called hitting the apex. It basically means the car hits a specific point where it spends the least amount of time turning before hitting the accelerator. As long as 2 wheels are within the lines riiiiiiight on the edge, you try to make that line as wide as possible, which lowers the angle of the turn, which makes you faster because you spend less time turning.

>>149476095
>>149476142
>>149476149

>>149476276
When you know your file size limit it's better to use 2 pass average bitrate than constant quality encoding so you always get the best quality possible regardless of scene.
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP9

here's a neat bitrate calculator
https://www.dr-lex.be/info-stuff/videocalc.html
plug your video length, size like 3.8MB and set audio to 0kbps then click "Video from time,size,audio"

DUE TO THE ACTIONS

>>149476472
oh shit, thanks for the support man.
The only problem I see is, that even though I have a 17 second replay-buffer in OBS, the length of the actual clips varies. With a variable length I might still overshoot the size limit.
Also I am getting tired and sleepy. I saved the links and will look into it for next year. Again, thanks for the hints. Much appreciated.
Also, I fear, that while tinkering with the settings now, I might miss a clip, which is nonsense, since I can just skip back on youtube, but I am entering rambling-territory now.

>The only problem I see is, that even though I have a 17 second replay-buffer in OBS, the length of the actual clips varies. With a variable length I might still overshoot the size limit.
I used AI to make a ffmpeg bat file that calculates all that shit automatically, just drag and drop the video file on top of the bat file, input the desired file size in MB and it will do all the rest. I can give you the script if you want but it's for x264, you will have to edit the ffmpeg command line for vp9.

I actually planned to make a fully modular script which would ask for everything like codec, size, resolution, fps, if you want to remove audio, etc. so you could use it for any video but never got around to it, maybe i should make it tomorrow won't be doing anything anyways.

>>149477980
Assuming you own the car already / just buy into a team, depending on what program you do, tests etc... only estimates

Full Season: .5-1 Million
Only Spa: 100-200K

Note i am not an expert and only guess

>>149478067
Plus another 200-350k for every time you stack it because you are bronze dentist shitter and have to buy a new car

I've heard rumors years ago that a GT LM24 (not WEC full season) entry went for around 2mil per car, so your estimate seems pretty conservative even considering that Spa24 isn't as prestigious as LM24

Well the radio noise is fucking sticky keys

>>149478347
Goddamn sticky keys, that's what it is

>>149478242
Well idk the numbers for costs of entering a car in WEC, just for registration, but if i am not mistaken LeMans alone costs 100k just to be on the Entry...

WEC has 8 races (10h?, 6H, 6H, 24H, 6H, 6H, 6H, 8H) + has oversea races (Qatar, Interlagos, Austin, Fuji, Bahrain) + much more electronics in those cars cause of LMGT3 spec

GTWCE Endurance has (6H, 3H, 24H, 3H, 3H), no oversea races, less prestige and pretty much stock GT3 Cars, none the less, to enter a team you need to pay 120k i think and 80k per car.

So in Total, yes it could also be way over 1M, but since most Dentists race in Bronze and most of the times have also a Silver bringing budget i wouldnt be surprised if it is under 1M

Obv always excluding Car costs and possible repair costs

>>149478560
Most racing in the WEC id say, normaly those races tend to be much cleaner than any other race with Dentists.

Otherwise from the last cpl of years i just remember
Alex Malykhin, racing in the 911 PRO Porsche
Dustin Blattner, consistently out pacing higher rated drivers, but building in the ocasional sbin
Ben Keating, i think most ppl watching would say that he is the best Bronze, has even raced the GTP Porsche

>marshals are not paid
Literally the biggest scam in motor/sp/orts.
At the grass roots level, yeah, we take turns at the marshals' posts, duh. But an event with a literal million dollar fireworks display? You can pay the fucking jannies.

>>149478414
The base entry fee for LM24 is 63k, on top of which you have to add either 48k or 53k depending if you are a full season participant or not, as an advance on fuel and other services that you will use during the event (picrel), so yeah pretty close to the 100k you were saying.
Spa24 entry fee (again, not full season) is "only" 27.5k per car, with a 120k fee "for manufacturers" and I'm not entirely sure who has got to pay for it, the wording on the reguilations is pretty vague but it seems to only apply to full season participants.

Anyway what I was referring to with my earlier post was a single entry just for the LM24 race, not the full season (so it ignores all the full season costs), and when I first heard that number, it was during the GTE AM era which may or may not be more expensive than todays LMGT3.
Ultimately it's going to be pretty hard to make estimates on this without someone, at some point, deciding to disclose numbers that are usually kept secret.

Ben Keeting is a car salesmand Gold tier driver ranked as a Bronze because he didn't start driving until he was over 50 or 60.
The man has class wins at basically every major sportscar race you can think of and is possibly the most underrated driver in the history of the fucked up, retarded and broken FIA drivers ranking system.

Very cool
Now let's talk about the teams salaries

>>149479330
There is a reason it doesn't exist anymore, probably for the best.

>>149478696
chatgpt is wildly unreliable in these kind of things

If only Kevin were here...

>>149478730
Can confirm.

>>149478616
Because racing in the Paris true kino.

>>149479330

but drivers who drove both said that gt3 is a slow truck compared to gte

It's over and out

>>149478697
>>149479250
damn, this guy Ben is pretty based

>>149479414
>>149479417
Whos dead ?

>>149479330
yeah the cars themselves were hella expensive, but I'm not sure how those pre-covid costs compare to todays costs with inflation up the ass and everything else driving up prices. If i'm not mistaken there are still cars that cost 700+k to buy today so they aren't exactly cheap still.

>>149479354
they do it for free

>>149479247
I just need a front engine win.
Send your energy, pray, light a candle, whatever for the Mustang and I guess AMG bros.

I can finally have enough spare time to watch this thing.

How's the Migumobile doing?

>>149479420
No his Wife is based! She bought him a trackday, as a christmas gift, he enjoyed it so much that he decided to start racing.

Wheel is gone!

we /turnleft/ now

/rowegang/ how we feeling?

>>149479433
Last year’s winning Aston Martin

>>149479515
Lol

That mechanic checking
>Yep, there's no wheel

>>149479420
He totally is. He's literally your favorite manager but also a successful racing driver.
Just a super cool guy with mad positive vibes. I've met him at drivers signings and waved at him while walking around the track. I never bothered him, but he always smiles and waves back. He is really a super, super cool guy.

>>149479361
>probably for the best.
No, they were the dying breath of GT2 and I miss them desperately.

goethe, hesse, schiller, mann

>>149479436
You have the 296 GT3 in mind. Most expensive GT3 currently on the market.

Comparing older GT3 list prices to GTE list prices
GT3 400-600k
GTE 900k-1.2 Mil (Ford GT price is not known, but estimated to be on the higher end)

A Suntory for Migu
KANPAI~

>>149479649
Current WEC grid is Kino forcing manufacturers into Hypercar if they want to step up from GT-3 is a good thing imo. GT-1 was the Kino catagory with the MC-12s and Saleens.

>>149479783
But if they dont increase the Grid to 40 the Private Ferrari and Porsche probably will have to go for either Ford/McLaren

So they force them to race in Asian LMS and LeMans or do you think ELMS will move more towards IMSA style of racing?

>>149479760
Cheers m8

>>149479704
>Most expensive GT3 currently on the market.
Yeah holy shit I just found a used 296 GT3 from 2023 on sale for 668k
How much does it cost new, 800k?
https://51gt3.com/en/car/view/5093

>>149479946
Probably, but keep in mind, the cars are in high demand as what you hear its pretty hard to get one.

Renazzo Motorsport, the Team running a Lamborghini in NLS/N24 was promised one but then it got delayed and delayed and delayed till they decided to cancel and switch to Lambo.

To get one you need to be on their list and pray that you actualy get it. So obv used ones are normaly pretty close to retail price. It was similar with the 991.2 GT3 R, where at one point they said they gonna stop production but the new car came only 2 years later, in the mean time used cars and spares got more expensive than originaly new cars had cost.

>>149480065
https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/144876/new-ferrari-296-gt3
I found another one, new but not from the factory at 750k.
Goddamn these things are expensive

There are precisely 2 good things to come out of Belgium.
Spa and this weirdo. Hell of a rocker, though.
https://youtu.be/8soQkubMk1g

now you remember morgan aero gt3

>>149479848
ACO doesnt want to make ELMS like IMSA as I understand it so Asian LMS is the only option. Seems like a weird decision to me but i guess they dont want direct confilct with WEC.

>>149480275
Well so far only Manufacturer offering real customer cars is Porsche anyways. While the #83 Ferrari is entered as a seperate entry, the Teamorders showed that in reality its still part of the Factoryteam. Only others interested so far in the AsLMS were Vanwall and Isotta... probably hoping they are the only ones, still if P2 keeps racing there, we will probably see P2 overall winners, if, only Vanwall and Isotta show up.

>>149480214
for me it's the jaaaaaag

You now remember Vadim Kogay

>>149480214
gotcha, feel free to buy and enter it in the GT3 Legends next year:
https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/152261/2009-morgan-aero-super-sport-gt3

Rossi is back in the race?
Neat

I smell nap time coming up

>>149480275
ALMS is probably a good testing ground as it is a very short and relatively insignificant season where it's easier to do experiments like this without annoying too many people or having to stick with a possibly wrong decision for too long.
If the private LMH class turns out to be successful there, I'm sure they will move it to the ELMS down the line.
Also I'm not sure how this new class will play out with other classes, considering they are still going ahead with the new LMP2 cars and the LMP3 cars have just been updated. If they keep adding classes, at some point they are going to get the same problem WEC has, which is grid space.

>>149480418
They are expecting ferrari to sign up some customers even if the 83 isnt really one now. Thinking about it more it is not easy to find places for more cars I guess ideally they crowd out LMP-2 and LMP-3 in other series and not GT-3.

Those Mercs are falling apart

>>149480708
Last I heard Ferrari did not know when the next customer car will be offered...

Multiple sources suggest that Giuseppe Risi is already waiting in IMSA and ready to go for next year, i doubt that tho.

as says >>149480694
the AsLMS will hopefully attract some intresting entries. Could be intresting for "Junior" projects. But we are getting bit out of topic here.

is that the third front runner down?

>>149480629
the doc is in the house!

>walk away to grab another beer
>comeback and some car is getting towed away

Wtf did I miss?

So which manufacturer is the closest to being completely out of the race, Audi?

>>149480832
Thread is semi dead so a good time to get off topic. Maybe im totally delusional about the economics of something like this but I think a european pro-am hypercar series supported by GT-3 or even LMP2/3 could work.

It's been over for 5 years; I was the biggest fan, spent thousands at post season games, subscribed to watch AA and AAA teams but they showed their true colors. Haven't watched a game since.

>>149481412
actually it seems to be a tie between Chevy and Ford

>>149481521
There's two Fords under HRT still, only 1 Chevy entered period and it's just out there for data at this point.

>>149481709
Nope I'm blind, 2 and 2 each

>>149481709
There were supposed to be 3 chevees but I think one dropped out before the race because they couldn’t get enough drivers together or some other kind of amateur drama

Glow Pony is cool. Ford should sell that for $5k on the GTD

>>149482411
There’s been a conspiracy from other manufacturers to prevent Aston Martin claiming a second and righteous victory and the script writers put in tropes like a self exploding amg false flag to try and stop us from noticing

>>149476135
The straighter you go the faster you go so the goal is to turn as little as possible which generally means outside rumble to corner rumble to outside rumble again.

The car should be set up to tolerate the bumps or it can cause issues.

Coffee bros, would it be wrong to pour hot coffee over a bowl of vanilla ice cream?

>>149476142
Wish they would do GT4 and TCR for the big SRO races. I’ll try to catch them in Indy this year.

The NSX GT3 and GTR NISMO GT3 have hit their EOL and there aren't gonna be any replacements for the foreseeable future. There's a Nissan Z GT300 running around in SGT but that's a privately developed machine and Nissan's only made GT4s with seemingly no intentions to develop a GT3 version of the Z
The RCF's geriatric at this point but Toyota's been testing its replacement at Spa and the BurgerRing for the past year and it should be coming in 26 as either a Toyota GR or Lexus GT3 machine

There are a lot of nice girls

AF Corse bros, how are we feeling about Donno? Haven't seen him before and so far he seems to be pretty average compared to the rest of the drivers in the 50 and 51.

New to motorsports and I know there are track limits and penalties in MotoGP and F1. What about in these 24 hour races? Do these racers do tricky violations with out getting caught? I can see them trying it in the nighttime

Brehs

>>149485106
You get a couple of warnings before you get a penalty. I think it's 5 or 6. Those strikes go away after 6 hours. It's also not per driver, but for the car so if a driver racks up 5 strikes and the next one gets another then the second driver will receive and serve the penalty. Last year they were handing out drive throughs left and right right for track limit violations.
