Remember when Sammy Smith went full retard for a few days? Since then he's made exactly zero headlines, while still running well and getting solid finishes. If there was a template for how to quietly back out of the limelight, he's done it this year.

>no race queens
son I am disappoint

/turnleft/ has lashed out at me for suggesting in the past, but I really do see some joint JRM/Trackhouse venture in the near future. Obv chassis and engines for JRM are built by HMS, but Trackhouse works their pit crews, and the driver agreement was with Trackhouse this year. There's also the fact that Jr and Marks are both owners of the Cars Tour. Could be a sign of overall Chevy collaboration, but Jr is likely to build with someone his age like Marks, than someone twice his age like Rick.

Is it true that Zilisch was discovered at a go kart track by Kevin Harvick when he was racing Keelan? Cuz that seems kinda unbelievable? I guess the story goes that Kevin was so impressed he got him connected with Marks and the rest is history. How are there not team scouts monitoring races for talent?

Country Time Lemonade

how do we go back to this?

>>149755114
Man Country Time Lemonade takes me back. Great looking cars, and that powder made surprisingly tasty beverages.

Remember when nascar tried this retarded tow method for like a couple weeks and then it disappeared? They make flat tires so complicated for no reason

Jeff Gordon @ Sonoma, 2009.

>>149755219
When I was in high school, I made a huge pitcher of country time lemonade and stored it in the fridge over night. When I got home from school the next day I made a huge glass of ice cold lemonade. After only like 3 sips, I was puking my guts up. So I checked the lemonade container. In the fine print below the ingredients it said, WARNING: Do not store in metal pitcher. Well... The lemonade I made sat in a metal pitcher all night and had me throwing up real fast. My only guess is that the acidity from the lemonade eats away at the metal in the pitcher and our bodies aren't designed to ingest it. Needless to say, I never made lemonade in a metal pitcher again

>>149755368
stainless steel is safe

True story. When I was a kid, this friend down the road was the son of a dirt tracker (local Kentucky tracks nothing on any radars). But he built a little dirt track in his backyard and built 2 go karts for us to have fun with. It eventually turned to 4 when my dad and budy's grandpa threw in some money. It was the most fun I ever had in my childhood, especially when we raced in the mud. Nobody ever got hurt, but for like 2 years me and the boys lived the coolest life imaginable.

No. 38 Cadillac Demoted to Third Place Start in Brazil
>The Sebastien Bourdauis-qualified entry has been handed a one-position grid penalty for the fifth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship for “impeding” the No. 93 Peugeot 9X8 of Paul di Resta during a fast lap in the qualifying session.
>A statement from the stewards read: “After reviewing the video evidence, the Stewards determined that at Turn 12, Car 93 was sufficiently impeded by Car 38 to constitute the offense of impeding.
>“However, the Stewards concluded that the impeding was not the result of a deliberate action by Car 38.
>“Nevertheless, the driver of Car 38 was in a position to move aside before the braking zone at Turn 12 and should have done so to allow Car 93 to pass.”

Im a dirt track casual and the door banging is one thing I really like about late models. The excitement of watching a sprint car flip over the fence starts to wear off after the first dozen times.

OMG, tell me about it. I don't want to criticize a free stream, but it's borderline unwatchable. I honestly haven't ever been able to watch an entire event there.
I would also like to say I think it's pretty cool that an anon from Argentina is so interested in a racing style that some of the good ol' boys at work participate in. Same for the Portuguese anon in2 NASCAR or Singapore bro who is so in2 sports cars and the Vietnamese anon in2 bikes and on and on. This is a pretty neat place.

>stainless steel is safe
So, IDK if this reaction can happen with the acidity in lemonade, but
>Hexavalent chromium, commonly referred to as "hex chrome," is a toxic form of chromium that can be produced during the cutting or welding of stainless steel. This occurs because the high temperatures involved in these processes cause the chromium in stainless steel to oxidize and convert into hexavalent chromium.
Hex chrome is a known carcinogen and can pose serious health risks when inhaled, including lung cancer, respiratory issues, and damage to the kidneys and liver.

>>149755469
Based beyond belief.
In my town there is this one house you can tell used to be out in the country but a neighborhood grew up around it. It had a really big front yard and this kid used to ride his mini dirt bike around in a loop. Over time, the kid, the bike, got bigger, and the track got more complicated with jumps and turns until eventually he wasn't there anymore and the yard took over. Dang ol' cat's in the cradle, man.
I haven't been by there is a coons age, maybe I'll go check it out.

Challenging conditions my bollocks you corporate shill bald faggot, The track was fully dry and a perfect cool summer temperature for racing, Just come out with the truth for once that michelin are a shit tyre company and their tyres are the reason why only 10 out of 18 riders finished the gp and why the current champion hasn't even completed a race all season as he got fucked from injury because of a dodgy michelin tyre that couldn't retain heat properly and he got fucked off the bike from it.

They really should just take Mosport off the schedule if they aren't going to run the GTP cars here. It was pretty hard to give a shit about this race.

Indeed.

WEC updated their site. Finally somebody realised in the motorsport world that you want to see the result if you visit the site after the end of the race

I have a frie... guy I know who lives there. He is exactly the kind of guy you all hate. The American who made sort of decent money and moved somewhere it went a lot further and thinks he's the shit. A total Elon fan fag and all that. He's always looking for people to visit him (probably because all the locals hate him), but if I was to visit him, what would be a fun race/car related thing to do?He lives on the south shore, in Ponce, I think. I like sports car racing, but I love everything, dirt track legends, motocross, boats, whatever. I know from your posts there is a healthy drag racing scene there. That would be great. Is there anything else?

While I'm at it, might as well drop this one, too.

An old Irish World War II Spitfire pilot and flying ACE, was speaking in a church and reminiscing about his war experiences. "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember," he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these Fokkers appeared."
There are a few gasps from the parishioners, and several of the children began to giggle. "I looked up, and realized that two of the Fokkers were directly above me. I aimed at the first one and shot him down. By then, though, the other Fokker was right on my tail."
At this point, several of the elderly ladies of the church were blushing with embarrassment, the girls were all giggling and the boys laughing loudly. The pastor finally stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of a German-Dutch aircraft company, who made many of the planes used by the Germans during the war." "Yes, that's true," says the old pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmitts."

>>149755256
lol yeah, like 2 years ago?

What SVG is doing to the field on these roadcourses is other worldly. Lot of super talented, prideful guys in that garage. He's gonna raise everyone's level.

>>149779917
It's also got to be a relief for NASCAR that they finally attracted foreign talent who was worth the hype. It is telling how different stock cars are that the only guy I can think of to transfer in and succeed came from a series that raced a similar kind of car.

SVG now has more wins than Josh Berry has top 10s this year. But retard fans will never complain about him.

>>149774187
That would imply IMSA teams have sponsors. Wayne Taylor explicitly named Road America as being the most financially worthless race on the calendar as a team owner when they were still going to Mosport so it's just Nascunt and their insistence on worthless dogshit events like the Indy 6 hours.

>current GTP schedule is 4 races owned by Jim France, 3 races owned by Roger Penske, and 2 other
lmao

Watkins Glen should not be 6 hours and only continues to be due to Jim France's ego, Road America doesn't need to be more than 4 hours, and then you can easily add at least one more GTP race as well as bring back fucking Lime Rock the fucking cunts.

Just as impressive is the 88 team's execution. They only have a handful of realistic win opportunities, and they don't fuck them up with penalties or retarded strategy calls.

>>149753772
Story has always sounded like bullshit to me. It sounds like something they workshopped at a PR firm to make him not seem like some silver spoon kid to sell to fans.

Is it time to declare Dinger a washout in Cup? This is his second attempt at a comeback, and he's still suffering. He could have a decent career in Xfinity, he was whooping all comers when he got busted back down the last time. I'd rather see him excel there than continue this Kyle Busch-esque pain carousel.

>>149780065
were there any big foreign name in nascar before him with a proper program?
Not these random Gimi or Kobayashi one offs where they go in a single race without any testing just to have fun

wtf happened to the 5 team? they've been dog shit for quite a while now. HMS in general has looked like shit.

>>149780491
Marcos Ambrose. Also, JPM drove for Chip Ginassi. Both competed well, neither came close to what SVG is doing.

>>149779062
israeli born russian, changed passport when the fia banned them
>>149753772
>>149780442
he was on the imsa ladder racing mazdas and doing some stock car races here and there, then won the rolex and sebring in lmp2 and trackhouse took notice
>>149780491
Montoya and Ambrose, i reckon Ambrose would have had more success with this car

>>149780620
>i reckon Ambrose would have had more success with this car
Agreed. He'd be giving SVG a run for his money in this car.

>>149780465
No, he’s always busting his ass no matter the equipment given, just been a bit under the radar this season with several solid runs mixed in. Even Ty Dillon is showing some signs of improvement so it’s promising. Still want him to get an oval win in Cup - he’s been in contention a few times, I just hope ECR can smarten up.

So the Elde 98 is fucked right?

So by next weekend FRR and 23XI will be open cars? This is going to turn into a shitshow for them. They could win some races, run well, and still lose money. And how do you justify fielding the 35 or 4? Both are shitters and not worth the loss. I suppose sponsors will play a roll, but some could probably bail out in the absence of a charter. All time retard move by Dennis.

>>149780955
I think Herbst still has to pay for his seat so that's an income stream they'll want to keep around.
Denny says he wants to turn a profit but he burns money recklessly, the price tag on their vanity race shop was like 650 million with a ton of frivolities like 23 degree tilted windows and a sneaker museum. Maybe they shouldn't have put themselves so deep in the red right at the beginning that now they have to sue the governing body for more money.

>>149781136
They should have just signed. Make the playoffs and make money man, it's not that difficult. Signing Herbst to a pay deal is a very bad look for Toyota tho, even worse than him getting bumped out of a race by Legge. Look at what Chevy, particularly Trackhouse, is doing with young talent. Go get winners and game this system. NASCAR doesn't reward top 15s and good points days anymore, you gotta win races.

Buying a 3rd charter and putting Riley Herbst in it is among the dumbest things to have ever happened in this sport. Dennis and MJ deserve to lose a fuckton of money here. We literally have a win and your in system, signing Bobby Hill would make more sense for plate tracks.

>>149781249
Front Row and Tardson too. He can only win fluky plate races, everywhere else him and his team will be outclassed. Trackhouse is really ahead of the game here, and they didn't just nab the best road racer on the planet, they signed the child prodigy who can beat him. There's a whole bunch of dudes who make no sense in their rides, for this system. Austin Dillon, Dinger, Bowman, Herbst, Wallace, etc.

No amount of samefagging is going to convince anyone that NASCAR pays enough prize money to fund a Cup team with Rakesh

>>149781201
I specifically remember Justin Marks saying that the charter agreement gave Trackhouse enough to be sustainable. They are bringing in Red Bull/Wendy's/Weathertech/Busch money, they are winning races, everything is good there (though they looked bad earlier this year).

>>149781260
Bubba is another case like Herbst, he brings in sponsor money that they can funnel to Reddick's team (the Danica/Harvick championship strategy).

>>149781272
>Herbst, he brings in sponsor money that they can funnel to Reddick's team (the Danica/Harvick championship strategy
If they can keep charters, then it's lucrative, but it's still an awful look for TRD. How is Trackhouse and Chevy signing EVERY young prodigy, while they're signing rich dad pay pigs? I mean Trackhouse even let Hocevar and Zane go, two young guys who have shown lots of speed. TRD pumps all this money into the sport, but their only prospect is a guy who got bumped out of a race by Legge. I like Heim, but he isn't in the same stratosphere as Zilisch.

Chevy development and Trackhouse is winning this version of NASCAR and it's not even close.

People like to bitch about SVG making these races boring, I'm more interested in our the rest of the field catches him. Reddick was legit pissed in the post race, he was only there cause they asked him to be.Cup guys don't like being embarrassed like this.

>>149781338
Chase Elliott used to be called a dirty driver for the same amount of contact SVG had with Reddick on the last restart.

Taking my Dad, Uncle and my two brothers to the South Point 400 in Vegas this year.
Got the weekend passes to see both races, we're gonna make a weekend of it, guys trip. The price for two races was a lot cheaper than I thought.

>>149781338
other than meme moments road course races were already boring, at least having a guy dominate through sheer ability makes them a little more amusing, still there shouldn't be more than 4
>>149781374
>Reddick
you mean briscoe? there's a fine line between being hard and dirty, svg did push him wide but gave him enough room to gather himself up and not lose the position, elliott would have just pushed him into the dirt

I really don't like 23XI but I hoped they get the ball rollin to start disassembling the mafia around nascar

>nascar told 23xi in a letter that they're gonna sell their charters before the lawsuit is over
Cold blooded shit. On some level I respect it.

Latvala got pirelli'd even at Goodwood? lol

>>149781402
SVG has been pretty aggressive on the restarts lately. I don't think it's been especially bad, but it's the classic thing where if you want to race people like that, you better be quiet when it happens to you.

>>149782645
>Bad things happen to me.
>Good things happen because of me.
Many such cases.

>>149784762
Oh, man. They are already a shoe string team. They really don't need to lose a hauler.

a couple more days and rally begins, im so excited bros like you cant fathom

>>149785523
they must have insurance on it, trailers catching fire is not an incridly rare thing, all you need is a stuck brake

>>149784122
what the fuck is that price lmao are they insane, costs more than a month of rallytv

>>149785420
SVG finally got the idea of how to do in ovals outside memespeedways

>>149786135

>>149787891
not with americans, but even in this post commie shithole usually you will be paid out well

>>149788028
if I would earn more I would buy the gold one desu
in the current state of the sport Im happy to support them. I frequently threw shit at them for making up stories but it's still better than the sensationalist titles and leads of rallyjournal

>>149788392
but yeah the price is pretty steep, although they seemingly give way more content than usually bs patreon shits for this kind of price
10 usd is pretty standard and I will always listen to adamo instead of paying a dime for fat edds bullshit opinions

>>149788028
not gonna lie, if rally.tv was more competent i'd pay for it but its just not worth the 13 euros for a subpar experience, f1tv for me is 8 euros and its leaps and bounds better in every way

>>149788421
but you won't get the adamo podcast with the poorfag tier anon kek

>>149788480
rallytv should have incorporated dirtfish into their broadcast a long time ago

>>149788658
dirtfish is everything i wish the WRC rally.tv should be, theres barely anything to watch outside replays

>Arrow McLaren announces Linus Lundqvist will serve as the reserve driver for the No. 6 this weekend in Toronto if Nolan Siegel is not medically cleared to compete.
seagull bros...

>>149788582
yeah I know, the gold tier what I would pay if I wouldnt be putting aside as much money as I can for some future big purchases next year (and paying down the fuckload of taxes I owe to this maffia called govt)

>>149788753
Nice. He deserved another year.

I've driven when concussed, it's fine

>>149788480
there are a shitload of unfulfilled promises the promoter made about rallytv in the recent years. My feeling is that the owners of wrc promoter (redbull and that K1 or something) stopped investing and just doing the bare minimum since they started to look for a buyer start of this year. They finished the developments and tasks they were in the middle of (new app, website, new game publisher), and since then they are waiting for the sale to happen and nothing is happening.
Supposedly the app should have got a lot more feature back by now but not even chromecast is available

>>149788840
hence why i still use pirate streams for rally and not f1, the f1tv thing is insanely more competent and actually has decent stuff to watch when no races are happening, meanwhile rally.tv is just nothing, it sucks man, id love to pay for rally.tv if it was actually decent

>>149788480
I'm paying for it sort of (the payment refused trick still works) only for supporting the championship at least if I wasnt able to go to any event this year (honestly, 9euro nowadays buys you barely anything nowadays), but I frequently shitting on them when the possibility arises just to let them know they need to get their shit together

>>149789028
same, pirate wrc streams that stream the tv feed are actually higher quality than what they stream on rallytv which is laughable, f1 is on free to air tv here but I still pay for it because its 1080p60fps and cheap as fuck

>>149789085
f1 for me as i said earlier is only 8 euros and thats like a hesburger meal for a month of vrooms, its not a bad price at all especially with the other stuff they also release on there
ive kinda slowly started to migrate to my estonian service with eesti commentators, theire quite hilarious sometimes and the whole sport package has other shit in it aswell i watch occasionally

>>149788355
They will get a payout, but they will have to pay a deductible and their rates will increase when they renew. Oh, and they usually low ball you and haggle you to death if you don'ttake thier initial shitty offer. I had some faggot repeatedly threaten to total out my Miata that his client hit while parked. It was bullshit damages and they didn't want to pay the paint shop. I eventually ended up eating $300 just so they would give me something. The only course of action is to hire a lawyer (also a piece of shit profession) and take them to court and still probably lose.
Insurance is the most jewish buisness in the world and I can't imagine it's terribly different anywhere in the world.

>>149789129
Absolutely. He already outclasses the Xfinity field on road tracks and is picking up ovals really quickly. If he can get in a top tier Cup car with a strong mentor and crew chief, we might see Jimmy or at least Elliot levels of domination.

how did he come to this speed, he was a basically nobody in truggs

>>149789929
He ran part of a season with niece at 17. Middling team and his highest stuff before was transam

>>149790159
He was a Kart Kiddy from the age of 5 who moved up to Spec Miata, MX-5 Cup and Trans-Am. I barely remember him doing Truck races, but I'm guessing it was with a shitter team?
Basically, he min/maxed his life into being the driver he dad never was.

Good afternoon race fans

Btw /o/ is full of fags, so I ask it here
want to get a good "road trip" car early next year, among my huge ass shortlist there are some american domestic models and I noticed that in europe for some reason a disproportionate amount of american import cars are in poland, baltics and albania.

I hardly knew 'er!

>>149791795
I bought a band shirt and it was one giant square patch, even the black part that should just be blank shirt, so it's a big plastic sticker on my chest that gets all sweaty and gross if it's even a bit warm.
I bought it so I wouldn't wear out the original I bought at a concert, but it's pretty crap and I never wear it. YMMV.
For $5 or whatever, it's worth the risk, IMO.
Also, what the fuck happened to your currency, kek.

>>149791795
Speaking of old 90's stuff i wish i could find a high rez version of this program cover from Bristol 96.

>>149791795
Notice how the original graphic isn't shiny in the black parts?
A MEGA huge tip to buying any chink shit is to look at the buyer uploaded photos. Or, for watches, check out YT reviews. (Alie Express has amazing cheap watches.) You can get a much better idea of what to expect in the mail by looking at buyer images than the sellers photo shopped or straight up fake images.
If you do roll the dice, I would be interested to know how it goes and especially the seller you got it from if it goes well. Oh, and be careful, Asian sizes are legit 4 or 5 sizes smaller than European/American sizes so make sure what sace they are using.

Truly the pinnacle

Trackhouse hired Todd Meredith as their president of racing operations today. Meredith was COO at JGR from 2013-2016. Now that their lineup for the future is set, it appears they're gonna work on building faster race cars.

Listening to Denny talk about SVG on his podcast is something else. He said that street courses and other road courses where cup guys had little to no experience is one thing, but that he was sure Sonoma would level the playing field cuz of SVG's lack of experience there, and all the laps cup guys have had there. He said Cup guys were sure that they knew how to attack the corners there to make speed, but that SVG shows up and shows that they really didn't know shit. Also pointed out that SVG was never really pushing hard, that the gap is massive and nobody in the Cup field is close to him.

>>149767791
Is there any way to fight back against stuff like this? Hiding actual safety problems behind NDAs seems like an excuse for government intervention which no one should want.

>>149794315
Only casuals are shocked by this. He is one of the most talented racers on the entire planet.

>>149794767
Whistleblower statutes exist for exactly this purpose. Now, being a French company, maybe such a concept is foreign to them. But even if they do have such protections, if everyone's happy making money, nobody's going to rat.

I guess the question is if the Cup garage catches SVG on road/street courses before he catches the garage on ovals. And he doesn't even need to win ovals, top 15s and 10s and he's juggernaut. Tho obv, for a ship, he's gonna have to have winning speed on ovals, cuz they'll never decide a championship on a road course.

>>149795328
Talladega championship 4. No restrictor plates

>>149795328
He ran good at Indy in xfinity last year, and that was the first "oval" Palou figured out, too.
Maybe he does something there.
They should make him run IRP in a truck again, too.

>>149795328
With the broship between Trackhouse and JRM, Marks should offer SVG for any and all road courses they want, with the caveat that they give him a few ovals. In the old days I think he'd have it figured out by now, cuz there were multiple days and several hours of practice before every race. But they get 20 mins now and 1 set of tires. It's really freaking hard to learn. With enough oval reps he'll be better than most of the field. He's that talented of a driver.

>>149795734
Also, the bigger issue for him and Trackhouse on ovals is their Saturday speed. They are always qualifying 20 or 30+. In this car, that's a massive defect. Ross is good enough to carry his car, but not a lot of guys are. If SVG was qualifying in the top 10, I think he'd probably finish there more often than not. His lap times are solid at the end of pretty much every oval.

>>149794822
>He is one of the most talented racers on the entire planet.
dont want to discredit svg but we havent seen anybody with high level international titles under his belt to take on nascar (which under the frances wont really change ofc as they are doubling down on eroding nascars credibility even more).
He is among the global current top 30 for sure. He is a bit like the forward who dominated 1-2 second leagues but we've never see him properly had a go in the big leagues, so we don't know if the overall level of nascar drivers that bad on road courses (ofc they are not bc muh america) or we actually witnessing the best driver taking on a world masterclass performance
Nascar racers and fans are currently behaving like the dog you have shown a card trick

>>149797540
SVG is so good because v8 supercars require the same incredibly smooth driving style as a nascar on a road course, if nascar teams would start bringing in all the top supercars drivers they would probably all be very competitive at road courses

>>149796690
>is Super Formula worth following?
Yeah, it's really quite good.

>>149798020
So, as I understand it, the Cup car is 300 lbs heavier and has about 50 hp more than the Supercars car. The biggest difference is the width of the tiers, which are wider on Cup cars. Neglecting chassis and aero (which is a huge thing to neglect) I'd wager the Cup car might be a tiny bit more forgiving, but probably not enough to make the differences we are seeing. I really think it comes down to experience. SVG is still pretty mid on ovals while we have quite a few drivers who are quite good on them. I would be interested to see how top tier GT3 and Hypercar drivers manage a NASCAR race on a road course. I mean besides Hawksworth. He got 15th in an Xfinity race at Mid-Ohio and 6th in a Trucks race at COTA, so I don't think you can take much away from that.

>>149798623
If you told me last year the Valkyrie would beat Toyota in Brazil, I would have been really excited. Instead, it's just kinda sad. I hope they get that car worked out, it's so damn cool.

BoP really favored Aston on this race, I could see some improvement on the pace (big drive from #009), but it's still far from the rest of the manufacturers. Our day isn't close, Astonbros. At least Dudu got a podium on the LMGT3, if it makes the situation better somehow.

2 questions
How often do bad crashes occur? All the people just hanging by the side seems like a good chance for a power slide into 'em

What's the guy on the side telling him? Where to turn?

>>149799299
> How often do bad crashes occur?
in the top level they are not that frequent, and being somebody hurt is even rarer (ofc smaller crashes like kissing a wall with the butt of the car or a ditch is more frequent but they usually not a cause for retirement)
In the lower tiers and leagues its more frequent but fortunately people rarely hurt

> What's the guy on the side telling him? Where to turn?
Distance to the next turn, how sharp is the next turn, anything to be aware (is the turn becomes tighter, dont cut, slippery, etc...) and things to look out like jumps, bigger stones or changing in surface
Before the rally the driver and codriver goes through the stages in road speeds and they make the pacenotes
You would think it might be not that important but frequent cause for crashes are too optimistic pacenotes
Also the codriver is the "brain" who is doing a lot of administrations between the stages (rallying is heavily dependent on that you have fixed times when you need to start the stages, check in to timing posts, etc) and looks out for everything going as it should, so the driver only needs to think about driving

there si a good primer on rallying on wrc's yt channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XQeec-c9k4

>>149799416
the video is a bit outdated about cars and points as there were some changes in the past year, but the overall things are pretty neatly escribed

>>149799416
Good vid so far, thanks.
No idea what Junior WRC is, but its cool actually seeing a woman.

How's the PC game? It looks diaper filling hard irl. Does that translate to a video game?

>>149799518
Baudet was in the selection process but a german girl got to be selected for a junior wrc program. It's a spec category everybody running the same car for cheaper so emerging talent can be spotted more easily
Rallying maybe the one motorsport where women are more prevalent than usually. There are a lot of woman codrivers, that part of the job is more fitting to them than the driver role so far it seems

yikes

>>149795328
>cuz they'll never decide a championship on a road course.
Riverside used to be the finale in the early 80's (And maybe longer i dont remember how long it was the final race.) So they for sure could do it again.

>>149800024
>72,000
Is that supposed to be 720,000?
Anyways, if I was a casual after seeing last years races at Iowa, I might skip this year's, too. It was a little better, but still nothing special.

>>149800024
Palou being so dominant and basically locking up the championship so early was a worst case scenario for Indycar and Fox. And im worried how Fox will treat it heading into next year. We've seen networks get bored with racing really fast before if the numbers aren't great.

>>149800228
It was indeed 72,000

https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/toyotas-plan-to-run-rare-fuji-f1-test-with-haas-explained/

Toyota's plan to run rare Fuji F1 test with Haas explained
>A rare Formula 1 test at the Fuji circuit in Japan will be held by Haas in August as part of its technical partnership with Toyota.
>Haas only started running an old car this year because it lacked the funding and human resource to have a test team in place.
>But as Toyota wants to use its Haas alliance to develop its own drivers as well as engineers and mechanics, it has facilitated extensive TPC running with the 2023 Haas.
>Ritomo Miyata made his F1 testing debut at Jerez in January as part of the new programme
>and Toyota’s World Endurance Championship team principal Kamui Kobayashi drove at Paul Ricard earlier this summer.
Holy based

>Now Haas has announced an even more ambitious test at Toyota-owned Fuji Speedway in August.
>Haas will run a two-day test at the former grand prix venue on August 6 and August 7, with test and reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa driving on day one
>before Toyota’s reigning double Super Formula and Super GT champion Sho Tsuboi makes his F1 debut on the second day.
HOLY FUGGING BASED

>“Additionally, Toyota Motor Corporation's mechanics and engineers will be present, making this a valuable learning opportunity for them as well.
>Experiencing the technologies and skills required on the world's highest stage of F1, up close, will surely be a significant experience for their growth.”
>“We know the passion Japanese fans have for Formula 1, so to get a second run in the country there this year after April’s Japanese Grand Prix is fantastic.”

>>149800596
>Toyota has never won the Le Mans 24 Hours
>Toyota never won an f1 race

I'm preoccupied with thinking about the number zilisch will drive in cup next year. 99 seems like something trackhouse probably would be easiest and provide the most continuity and brand. 87 clearly means nothing.

>>149801210
is there anybody running 69?

>>149801210
>tfw Hamlin loses his charter and he takes the 11 after trackhouse buys it

SEAT

>>149801271
nope, last time 69 ran a cup race was in 1992 at watkins glen, it has only ran 103 races total

>>149799054
stock cars also have iron brakes, whereas V8SC I think uses carbon. that has a big effect on braking performance and temp management.

>>149799086
the LMHs are a total bomb, and it's pretty obvious why; nobody wants to throw hundreds of millions at developing a bespoke chassis when they're just going to get BoP'd down to the level of spec go karts with modified road car engines. Toyota did it because their CEO is a racist autismo who will throw corporate funds at his personal pet projects, and Ferrari did it because it's a loophole that lets them work around the F1 cost cap. but otherwise nobody is taking it seriously. The Peugeot is shite and they are going to drop out within two seasons, and I hate to say the Aston is probably going the same direction.

His nuts where dragging on the track, I have no idea how his ballsac takes that

>>149799518
jWRC is just a feeder series for the WRC. like Formula 4. slow underpowered cheap car, age limit to stop buschwhackers.

>>149800533
Super Formula is basically the last remaining national F2 championship. 30-40 years ago it was pretty common for major motor racing countries to have their own F2 (Formula 3000 at the time) championships in addition to the international one ran by the FIA. the most prestigious of them being the British, French, and German championships. They all died out because of costs, whereas the Japanese version instead copied the Indycar route of spec chassis and engines (and for a while even ran modified Indy Lites machinery) to keep costs down and align the championship with Super GT.

>>149801651
the least-used number is 65. it's the only number to have never been ran for a full season, and the only number to have never led a lap.

>>149800238
>Palou being so dominant and basically locking up the championship so early was a worst case scenario for Indycar and Fox.
This has never been a problem for F1.

>>149801651
it's time for a brave american to run the funny number

>>149801764
on the contrary, it's pretty clear, that LMH is the only way to beat the BoP.
With the usual bopswing it's unlikely that caddy will win all the rest of the races, ferrari will grab both titles even if they dont win any of the rest of the 4, even though the last race pays 1.5x, but as the system works they will get a bop break next race anyways.
Peugeot inflicted pain on themselves with restarting with the car and basically burning away a bunch of development tokens.
Toyota is bopped to death and havent developed their car since early last year as they are waiting for ACO to confirm when the Hydrogen spec will debut in the championship (singabro linked an interview where they straight said they dont know if they want to develop a new car or wait for hydrogen as ACO is still havent announced the exact date for the latter. But the intention for H2 is 2027)
Aston was always destined to be a glickenhaus 2, only the most delusionals thought they will have a chance. Turns out they are even worse than glick was

>>149801964
>>149801764
Also: Pug said they are working on another new car to get around development restrictions, so that does not sound too much like leaving

>>149800380
Yeah, they do and they have some really good driving talent, too. It's a really great series, even if you don't speak Portuguese.
Pic not related.

>>149801964
if LMH was the only way to win, Porsche and now Cadillac wouldn't be winning as often as they do.

Good afternoon race fans

>>149801764
>Ferrari did it because it's a loophole that lets them work around the F1 cost cap.
Reeeeeeee!!!!!! The GT team designed the Ferrari LMH and they never ever talk to the F1 guys ever.
Reeeeeeeeee!!!
>>149801964
But seriously
>LMH is the only way to beat the BoP.
>Toyota is bopped to death and havent developed their car since early last year
I am still impressed with how much this hurt them and also confuses as to why they got BoPed so hard. Honestly, I don't really think they are trying at this point and saving resources for the potential hydrogen car
>Turns out they are even worse than glick was
That's only because there are more cars in the feild.

>>149802011
cadillac only won their first race, so I wouldnt really call that performance regularly shitting on LMH, neither the 2 porsche win in the last 3 seasons. The rest was all LMH. Porsche was lucky that ferrari hasnt unlocked their potential yet and toyota was fucking up a bunch of times to get their WDC.
Ferrari updated their car for this season and it's clearly unlocked some hardly boppable potential, meanwhile the LMDH part of the field is swinging around as they get their bop breaks and pegs with their spec parts restricting them from doing anything substantial

>>149802011
>Porsche and now Cadillac wouldn't be winning as often as they do.
LMDh cars have only won 4 of the 20 races since they were introduced. Toyota and Ferrari have won the other 16. I certainly don't think it's the key to success, but at least it's cheaper.

>>149802080
Even if the F1 team did not have any direct input, I really doubt in such fierce environment there is no info sharing between the two parts of the company. Also the gt's were supposedly made by the french so this theory of the gt team doing the lmh is confusing in itself for me

>>149802140
> porsche
I think Porsche has won 4 WEC races. Qatar, Spa and Fuji in 2024.

My plan is to get a Ford Flex by that time and throw a mattress in the back of it and go straight to the stages to camp

>>149802187
Yeah, there is no doubt they have an unbelievable amount of technical knowledge available to them from the F1 side of the house and vice versa. It would undoubtedly be helpful and there is no way to enforce any rules about data sharing short of allowing the FIA complete access to tons of intellectual property.
>Also the gt's were supposedly made by the french
If I understand what Ferrari anon said, the GT cars were designed by Maranello and built by a French company. I am pretty sure the 499p was designed by the same or similar team in Italy and built by Dalara.

>>149800997
there's already a podcast and two articles on there which used to be on the site and the vague wording of the sub description doesn't bode well either, tbf I would gladly support them for extra content but 18 euros for a couple extra podcasts nah bro I'll just wait until they inevitably slash the prices because everyone is shitting on it as far as I see

>>149802230
Yes, sorry, 3 Porsche wins, 4 LMDh wins including Cadillac last weekend.

It's crazy how safe they made racing
I'm an oldfag and when I was a little kid there were mentions of drivers killed all the time during the sports segment

>>149802566
It's still far and away the most dangerous mainstream sport, they didn't take much away.

>Notably, Flying Lizard Motorsports and driver Damir Hot are set to return to GT4 action for the first time since abandoning their Nissan programme before Sonoma, due to safety concerns with the Z NISMO GT4.
>safety concerns with the Z NISMO GT4
??? aren't there safety standards that GT4 cars have to comply with to be homologated? is it possible to meet those standards and still be unsafe? (well unsafe by racing standards)

anon hijacks the NASCAR hauler

>moreira has to decide whether to go to yamaha or honda
>chantra is getting shipped back to moto2 regardless
>marini could stay at honda with lcr
>honda insists they want zarco in the factory team
>line up would be marini-moreira at lcr, zarco-mir at the factory team
no clue where martin fits in all of this, i guess if the deal with honda falls through they'd go with that lineup, but if work they just keep zarco at lcr and marini gets shown the door, one certain thing is that mir must have some god tier dick sucking skill to be able to keep his seat despite absolutely irrelevant

>>149802736
maybe they meant safety in a different sense? nissan cancelled the program, so they could be worried about spares and stuff.

>>149802736
the car can be unsafe in a lot of ways even if it complies with the regs, for example brakes or suspension which has a design flaw and can fail without any kind of sign and so on. Of course as the car completed homologation the driver wont die in the crash but thats still unsafe car
or it has a a tendency of being unpredictable and moving too much around on vrakings or fast corners due to a shit design...

>>149802852
maybe the reason why they cancelled it is found in things like these >>149802926

>>149802736
>>149802852
I remember reading in the Assetto Corsa Competizione forums that the 2016 Maserati GranTurismo GT4 (pic related) had no TC or ABS and was homologated anywayt, allowing them to race against newer cars that had those. They would simply abandon the race if it rained for safety reasons

>>149802852
>nissan cancelled the program
only the GT4 America program, the car still runs in Super Taikyu.

>>149802990
Thats pretty cool.
I remember Jordan Taylor complaining about the intermediate Corvette GTLM/GT3 have ABS and TC because it fucked with his ability to properly drive the car. I don't think the LMDh cars have any of that stuff either.

>>149803025
The main issue was the fact that all the other competitors had TC and ABS, so in wet conditions the Maserati was in such disadvantage that it was outright dangerous and reckless to keep racing. LMDh has TC but no ABS per regulation, so it's fine. Pic related was also a major clusterfuck for an homologated car.

>>149800392
>>149800446
>most of the engine/turbine failures happened because the ECU was using the 2-step function on the pitlane

What did Anderson "Penis" meant by this?

>>149803086
LMDh cars have TC? Pure heresy.
>Pic related was also a major clusterfuck for an homologated car.
Yeah, AWD is such a massive advantage it's unreal. It's quite hard to make up for it without ridiculous power/weight disparities.

he is right, you are retarded, not even the GT1 version had awd, ofc the gt3 slop didnt feature it either (and not even the gt500 version)

>>149803560
Yes, I understand that. That's what made homo ligating it so difficult. The general vehicle desigb was based on an AWD design, but it had to give up its greatest advantage to compete.

F1 is in a unique situation where a lot of people will still pay attention to the series even in a blowout year to follow the drama off the track. Indycar has those people too but the number is far smaller, and Indycar itself is shit at promoting that aspect while F1 excels at it.

IndyCar still better racing (Palou Wins, LoL aside) and has drastically better sporting regulations, but I guess most people don't care, let alone understand those aspects of it.
F1 is just Jersey Shore:Motorsports Edition.

>>149803802
I'm sorry your favorite series doesn't have a globally renowned tent pole event on the calendar.

>>149803867
I mean the 500 is based and Indycar is cool but the promotion for it sucks

>>149803675
the gtr was pretty okay, it even had a gt1 wdc despite the
all the lambos and the audis are awd originally and they are doing fine in rwd gt3 form as well as they did in gt1
so curious about the "clusterfuck" brazilanon mentions

>>149803848
>IndyCar still better racing
I used to be 100% in agreement with you on that, but after the hybrid was dumped into the car im not so sure.

>>149803881
Honestly, the more normies like something, the worse it gets. I've seen it time and time again. 40k is a great example.
The fact that IndyCar has mediocre popularity outside the 500 is probably a good thing. Super Formula isn't exactly going Gang Busters, but it's still fine, right?

Actually it was the front of this car getting way too light at that part of the track and causing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4rdpADkRhc
I don't remember if there were other GT3s lifting badly like that (I distinctly remember this happening to the GT-R on multiple occasions) but it was so bad they banned GT3 at the Nords and when they returned they limited the speed through Flugplatz to 200 km/h

>>149804076
>hybrid
Yeah, strapping a useless, expensive hunk of shit to the back of an ancient chassis is bound to cause problems.
I, for one, am calling for total Honda death in IndyCar. It would be better off as a one make series, but I doubt they would have trouble finding another partner if they got rid of that nasty old bitch they have been simping for for so long.
Sometimes you're better off single.

>>149804009
>the lambos and the audis are awd originally
They are also mid engine, which has pretty thoroughly been proven to be the ideal configuration for race cars. The AWD on them was just a jucy little bonus, especially for people who don't really know how to drive such a demanding and dangerous vehicle.
>>149804082
> it was the front of this car getting way too light at that part of the track
If the front wheels were powered and laying down grip, it might not have helped...
Also, Nurburgring is just an insane and unpredictable track, even after 98 years.

>>149804082
>Actually it was the front of this car getting way too light at that part of the track and causing this
wasnt that also aero related like the 911GT1 and CLR takeoffs?

>>149804156
I will only reluctantly accept Honda leaving if Roger Penske can convince Akio Toyoda to have Toyota join IndyCar in Honda's place. if not, fuck you, shant be watching a GM-Ilmor PenskeCar series.

>>149804722
also if this were to happen my next car would be a Toyota. love my Civic but if Honda isn't gonna support the racing I like then fuck them.

watching old 90's CART race highlights right now, with Paul Page, Parker Johnstone, Derek Daly, Danny Sullivan, Bobby Unser, etc.
the WHOA was not entirely invented by Townsend Bell, but back then it was more like an OH (and LOOK AT THIS in the case of Sullivan)

>>149804956
Parker Johnstone yelling OH will always be kino

>>149804987
Paul Page was so good no matter which color commentators he was paired with. I miss his voice so much.

>>149804963
damnit, this car needs to win. it's important for the honor of motor racing. to keep the loud vrooms going.

>>149805018
Paul Page is the eternal goat

>>149805086
Weren’t they bopped to death at least in the WEC this year?

>heh my boy…Valkyrie…it’ll be good next year…heh..,

>>149805088
indeed. he is the Indy car racing commentary voice I judge all others by.

>>149805120
the complete opposite, sadly

>>149805170
Weren’t they bopped at Le Mans though since the rules for 24LM are a little different than the rest of the championship

>>149804956
my bad, I forgot Sam Posey

also shout out pit reporters Jack Arute, Jerry Punch, Gary Gerould, Jon Beekhuis

hueg crash on woo last chance
ill see if i can get a webm out of it

>>149805400
Those cars always have huge wrecks

the only current pit reporters that can match the level of 90's Indy car racing pit reporters are Mark "Larko" Larkham and Shea Adam

>>149805475
I have impure thoughts about shea adam but then I feel guilty

>>149805448
yeah >we had a resheduled race last night, i forgot to talk or link it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuVxAqVoucs
thankfully they uploaded the full race on goyracing
it was bretty gud, i dont want to spoil it but winner crashed after checkered, it was kinda hillarous they had issues taking the car to the scales

>>149805508
leave the pit reporters alone you coomer

>>149805568
I’m sorry please forgive me

>>149805400

One of the anons commented, that if you look at their qualy onboards, the car is incredibly twitchy and wants to step out frequently.
If the car is so unstable, they are possibly running on the safe side in the races to gain mileage

oh shit, was under the impression they left the speedway there fall into disrepair.
crazy how a state with less than my city's population has a track used by NASCAR (and formerly CART).

>>149802775
>mir at the factory team
I heard at the last race on tnt that Mirs finish percentage of "all his honda races" is 50%

>>149806543

gyrobro, if you ever get the chance again to attend a stock car race, do it. i promise you, you will not regret it and have an absolute blast

>>149806771
44.19% to be precise, he has started 43 races and finished 19, if we count sprints that goes up to 58.14%, 86 starts vs 50 finishes

>>149803765
F1 understands it's not a racing series, it's a self-flattering soap opera about the world's wealthy.

Thinking F1 is about cars is as ridiculous as thinking the old soap opera "General Hospital" was about medicine.

That doesn't really matter that much. It's still really fun. Maybe not sports car race fun, but definitely well worth your time.

>>149810669
as far as I remember they havent brought out any upgrades yet, so they might end up as a solid midfielder in wec and podium player in imsa in the next few years
now go spend some money on steam for the good cause

I tried to do a Dudu frog. I thought it would be cool so feel free to use or tell if I should improve something.

>>149810669
Aston was far from the rest of the grid? Yes, but it ran better than on the last races before Brazil. I believe that next year will be our year.

didnt know sam collins is still doing youtube
he just published a video on the scam what the greengt project was, but his video on the Honda NSX based gt500 car is way better

>I tried to do a Dudu frog.
That looks fantastic!
No notes.

>>149811234
> I believe that next year will be our year.
Man, I sure hope so. I really hope they can drum up more sponsorship for next year and do some more testing and development. I kind of think having the adjustable aero element inbthe front is probably hurting them, but that's a completely uneducated guess.
I have to say that it's insanely based of them to run an IMSA program in addition to the WEC program even though it is clearly expensive.

>>149811093

ashton will never do any upgrades,

or buy someone else and use them to work on valkyrie

did it?
last race was total joke with bop
if you can't even get top 10 in race like this, it's over

>>149812206
fun fact one of the local goats also got his hands on a cossie after rallying lancias for years and he also hated it even nicknamed it "rosszvót" a wordplay on cosworth which means "was bad"

>>149812206
also I'm not surprised Miki didn't like the car because the lancias were basically tailor made to fit him since he was the nr1 development driver in an italian team, never really understood why ford gave him a contract that made him the highest paid rally driver at the time

Jaguars and Astons are such beautiful cars. Too bad they're as reliable as English food is delicious.

>>149813526
Of all the exotic cars I see in my city they are some of the most rare. Apparently, if you are a rich young faggot here you get a Lamborghini or an Audi R8. Maybe a Porsche, but most Porsche owner I have seen/met are older and more chill. I almost never see Ferraris driving around, but I do see them parked on the street from time to time. You see lots of Mustangs, Camaros, Supras, and a few GTRs and Lexus RCs. Corvettes, BMW M2/3/4s and Jaguar F-Types are pretty common, but I have only ever seen 3 Aston Martins and maybe as many Bentleys. I've only ever seen a McLaren at a cars and coffee and there is an older gentleman who drives a mint condition black Jaguar XJS 12 hard top.
I have never seen a nuNSX, ever.

I think the reason British cars have a bad reputation in America is because America mechanics didn't know how to work on them and they were built poorly.
J/k, but it's pretty hard to maintain a car outside its domestic (regional) market.

>>149813526
I'm surprised to see people saying they don't see them. I've seen more astons than ferraris or lambos, they're pretty common in my area.

I have seen people talking about Palou wins, lol and I have seen people talking about attendance and TV viewership, and I have seen people talking abot how unlucky Joeseph was with yellows, but I don't think I've seen anyone acknowledge that this Iowa weekend was better than the last few weeks have seen. Especially last years parade.
Palou’s win aside, I had a fun time this week.

>>149815184
That particular Jaguar's story is especially sad. The team basically got give 95% done car and Jaguar let them use their branding and that was about it. It's kind of like the Lamborghini SC63.
