Charters guarantee a starting position and pay teams a bonus amount each week, calculated based on race finishing position and last years final championship standings.
Having a charter doesn't have any bearing on driver or owner points or playoffs. An unchartered car can still make the owner or driver playoffs, but they have to attempt to qualify for every race (hence why SVG wasn't playoff eligible after winning in 2023).

/f1/ regular having withdrawals during a three week gap between Grand Prix, should I watch Indy Car or NASCAR this weekend?
Who is more likely to win a race out of Scott Dixon and Shane Van Gisbergen

It's still so funny that Oliver is starting in front of the MSports because he's outscored them all in a Rally2 car

>>149820711
Dixon for sure. SVG is almost unbeatable on the road courses but hes still a backmarker on ovals. As for what to watch you can pick Indycar at the Toronto street circuit or nascar at an oval. So whichever form of vroom you feel like watching. Although technically you can watch both since Indycar should be done or close to it by the time the cup race starts.

>>149820750
kino

>>149820711
If you wanted to root for SVG, you picked the wrong weekend. For now he only has chances of winning on road courses, he's still pretty off the pace on ovals, so the best thing you can do is root for Dixon, if you want someone with more chances to win on this weekend.

>>149821429
i think soiberg will do well, he has quite a lot of experience in estonia along with kalle they both drove there and latvia for a while iirc you don't need a drivers license in either country to get a rally license and the codriver drives the car on road sections

dont get me wrong, Im pretty sure he will be fast, but I dont think he will be on the podium.
but With him, sesks and pajari being in great road positions on friday, I expect all 3 scoring a stage win

Good morning, frens. I miss Bentley

(Finally found a mod of the Bentley Continental GT3 to drive on a sim, I found it pretty fun to drive).

>>149823818
Bom dia Tuganão. ACC has both generations of the Continental GT3 well simulated, as well as the V12 Aston and the Emil Frey Jag.

>>149819844
>The rest of IMSA rounds too.
Yes.

>>149819033
I think NASCAR teams are actually in a better position to recover from such an event.

>>149819210
The social media sloot has to post something.

>>149820162
Yeah, it's a meme award and F1 is a meme series. When things go well, it's the driver. When things go poorly, it's the car. Honestly it's pretty difficult to tell. At least we know with the NASCAR and IndyCar guys it's mostly the drivers.

>>149819649
Yeah, even if it is pretty annoying, Palou's driving this season in particular is just out of this world. Too bad it's made the championship and a few races kinda boring, but you can't take anything away from him.

>>149820711
You should try to watch both if you can and participate in the threads. They are both pretty fun. Like the other anons said, Dixon is more likely to win than SVG, but you never know. All that being said Toronto and Dover don't usually produce the best racing of the season, so don't base your entire opinion of either series on these races.

Still a lot of issues, they're probably gonna scrap that new ECU and bring the old Bosch one for starters.

Also all teams sent a joint letter to CBA to change rules for this year due to how many failures the cars were having.

Ouch, what a sad ending for Stock Car Brazil.

>>149824694
>Ending

Nah, just dumb people doomposting.
The thing is is not just VICAR's fuckups that were the problem, but due to the floodings in RS last year, a lot of the car parts also had to be delayed, since a lot of the car parts comes from that state. (i.e ECU)

IMO they should just bring the old car for this year and then next year bring back the new one, after it got properly tested.

>>149825266
>IMO they should just bring the old car for this year
lol no one can, all the ECU went to Stock Light (Bosch and Magneti Marelli), plus all cars were dismantled from their critical components (brakes, steering, engine and fuel system, etc). And to add salt to the wound some cars were already sold/given to sponsors, for example Mauricio #90 car from last year is literally on Eurofarma's headquarters

>>149825266
>just dumb people doomposting.
I agree with this, like the car is phenomenal, literally the only problem is the engine, all the other components are fine or easy to fix (like the fiber bodywork which on the start of the year werent all the same).
All these problems happens in any category, for instance in 2009 when they introduced the new generation car it went up in flames 4x only in the first test session, the problem is that this shit is happening on race weekends

>>149824694
>We just need to update the frog suit

>>149825266
>>149826346
Shit. The most reasonable thing they could do is bring back the old cars, but since it's not possible, I think the best they could do right now is give more practice time to the teams on race weekends. Not the perfect solution, but aside from testings, this might be the way for some teams to know how to deal with the car, since the ECU's problems affects some teams more than others.
And I called all this situation an "ending" for Stock Car Brazil not only because of the new regs itself, but all that scheduling stuff, including what happened to the Belo Horizonte round, was pretty embarassing. With some good drivers from Stock Car moving up to NASCAR Brazil (including Rubens himself) and that one not having half of the issues that Stock Car currently has, the reign of Stock Car Brazil might be affected in the next years.

>>149826403
Exactly that one! But don't worry, fren. I think I can manage to do that job for us.

>>149826804
>since the ECU's problems affects some teams more than others
that sounds more like an electrical problem

>>149826804
>since the ECU's problems affects some teams more than others.
sry but it doesnt, everything is controlled by Audace, is not that "some teams have more knowledge than the others", its just luck

>I think the best they could do right now is give more practice time to the teams on race weekends.
Already doing that, we are now entering R04 and only Velopark didnt had extra tests

>all that scheduling stuff, including what happened to the Belo Horizonte round, was pretty embarassing.
yeah losing BH this year just brought more shame than ever... but I mean not a single season since 2020 Stock Car managed to follow the calendar they released from the start of the year, just look at Brasilia, its on the calendar since fucking 2022 and we havent raced a single time there yet, and we might not even race this year also

>With some good drivers from Stock Car moving up to NASCAR Brazil (including Rubens himself) and that one not having half of the issues that Stock Car currently has, the reign of Stock Car Brazil might be affected in the next years.
lol thats entirely wrong, if you only knew how bad the teams and drivers complain about Nascar... Eveyone is trying to convince Thiago Marques (Nascar CEO) to import the Nascar cars from America but he doesnt want to spend, like the fucker is seriously thinking of putting a new engine with a hybrid system next year on these same god forsaken cars, teams raced there because it was supposed to be cheap, they dont want to continue there if the costs rise

>>149826163
>What's going on with this guy?

>I thought he was leaving after the season.
that was his plan, but it seems honda didn't want to pay his break out clause and they couldn't find enough cash

Are these fucks pulling a Sun Tzu and pretending to be weak when they are really strong because if im a shareholder seeing this im ringing up my broker and ordering my money pulled.

They are 20 years behind the other factories in switching to the V4 and it still took the likes of Gigi Dall'igna 10 years of tweaking to get it right.

>>149827019
>Already doing that, we are now entering R04 and only Velopark didnt had extra tests
Good to hear it.

>Eveyone is trying to convince Thiago Marques (Nascar CEO) to import the Nascar cars from America but he doesnt want to spend
>the fucker is seriously thinking of putting a new engine with a hybrid system next year on these same god forsaken cars
I know importing the cars from the America would be pretty much expensive to do, especially talking about Brazil, but putting a hybrid system on the car doesn't help a little, I didn't know NASCAR Brazil was also damned in that way.

>>149826346
>>149826396
>>149826804
I read that the main problem was the ECU activating the 2-step function when the cars were running down the pitlane, which ends up cooking the engine without necessity, so there's been a bunch of engine already being seized because of that.

Also the ECU apparently doesn't "speak" with the X-Trac transmission, which is one of the main reasions why a lot of the teams wanted the Bosch ECU back.

Also >pilots going to NASCAR Brasil

lol, LMAO.
A lot of people love talking about how NASCAR will replace Stock, which is virtually impossible since for one CBA would never allow it.

Two, the cars that they're running currently are fucking ancient in terms of technology and like the other anon said, the managing org won't spent millions of USD to import Cup Cars or a variant of it.

It's much easier for them to build another car from scratch like Stock did.

>>149827112
dovi is the one doing the bulk of the development work on that engine and he hasn't said anything so i take any comments as bluffing, all the factories are trying to stay at the bottom of the order to keep/gain concessions

>>149827780
Fabio said the other week the bike is about 2 seconds a lap off the pace and he's obviously being told this by Dovi, I dont buy any of this wanting to keep concessions, the only reason you get them is because you are a back marker shitter.

at least someone in indycar is making money

I never realized how open the regulations for Trans-Am are. This interview with Pancho Weaver at his shop is really quite interesting. Even if you don't like Trans-Am, you get to see some really cool closeup shots of some pretty cool race cars, including a genuine DEI stock car. Plus, there are some interesting tidbits on race car design.

That wasn't me. I just got around to watching the last 10 minutes of that Pancho Weaver video after work and they mentioned it. Apparently, it was part of the old school Trans-Am schedule. I can't find any original footage, but ripping around that pla e in a 1968 Mustang or whatever on garbage tire and trash suspension would be kino as hell.

THere was a press conference about the hydrogen cars in WEC at the hue race weekend
https://www.fia.com/news/wec-hydrogen-focus-during-sao-paulo-weekend?
it is extremely likely that alpine will be the other car in the hydrogen category with toyoder with hydrogen combustion engine hybrid electric powertrain
also:
> Alpine and Toyota have opted for hydrogen-powered combustion engines over fuel cells, citing the driving experience and technical relevance.
pure electric fags btfo
> “In the Alpenglow, hydrogen powers a combustion engine, which requires a specific combustion process and a dedicated storage and filling system. The advantage of the combustion engine? It remains a combustion engine with all its sensations, noise, and vibration

Basically it's a function that is used to give the car more boost before it launches.
You rev the engine at a certain RPM and the turbine starts to "spool", but because of that spool a lot more air is going in without the car moving, which heats up the engine A LOT.

2-Step is normally only used for a few seconds, like in a drag racing, but in stock car the turbine is spooling when it's on the pitlane, which is basically cooking the engines and causing all the breaking.

admittedly it's still a prototype but Toyota ran a liquid hydrogen powered corolla at the Fuji 24 Hours

He was just saying they had a good idea to put the cars in the game.
I'd tell you to take your hate boner for American supremacy and fick yourself in the ass, but you'd probably enjoy it too much.

No replay? are they ok?

I just hope that drivers ok, he’ll be okay, won’t he?

Bros…did he die

Bros…

>>149832745
do not speak for me. I'm saying that this good idea (putting Indy cars into games like Forza with an already established user base) should have been the first idea.

why do you have to turn everything sexual :(
sometimes you need a poor soul sweating their ass out in a suit cheering people on. simple as that.

Always special seeing a struggling driver like Larson win that money, that team really needs that money

How the fuck are IndyCar and IMSA/WEC and NASCAR and F1 and all other major series always banging on about muh safety when this shit still exists? Don't get me wrong, I'm not against sprint cars, but why the hell cant we get an IndyCar race at Road Atlanta and why do we have to keep paving more and more of Road America?

No one ever said that. The tracks they run just do it the most.

>>149843948
I watched it while grocery shopping then while making dinner. (Italian sausage, peppers and onions with provolone on a bu and stuffed mushrooms). It was fun enough and I hope the races goes the same way practice did.

>>149844703
Didn't Chicagoland get bulldozed? Or is that just Fontana I'm thinking of?

>>149844971
Nope, it's still sitting there.

>>149844998
Like Kentucky.

>>149844971
you must be thinking of Chicago Motor Speedway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Motor_Speedway
built in 1999, funded in part by Chip Ganassi, demolished in 2009.

Gotta take a little chamber out of the front left as the track rubbers in.

>>149845076
>build track
>last 10 years before demolition
damnit, this is even worse than the oval at Twin Ring Motegi.

>>149845150
>In 2002 the 1.029-mile (1.656 km) oval shaped track suspended operations due to financial conditions in the motorsports industry.
lol even worse, 3 years? holy shit Chip got ripped off.

shit like this makes me more appreciative of the tracks that have been around for decades and decades. the motorsport industry is a fickle bitch...

side note Anons, never use the jukebox at a bar without asking the bartender about the volume, damnit I wasted 3 bucks. might as well have played music on my phone.

So is Butterbean really good, or does he just have a car equal to the JGR one?

>>149845232
Damn, that sucks.

>Robusto is a Verstappen fan
Also, this race has actually been decent by ARCA standards.

>>149845278
Well, he clearly has a decent car, but it's always hard to say in a series where people start going a lap down on lap 3 sometimes. Still, I would expect him to be a mid pack shitter or better in Trucks pretty soon.
Queen should be out of ARCA and into trucks or maybe Xfinity next year.

Good evening race fans

>>149845440
Derp, I mean Hill will be a mid pack shitter. Queen is destined for the big show.

>>149845282
yeah bars suck. I don't go to bars much anymore but my coworkers invited me today

about to go to a horse pull at the local country fair, does that count as vrooms? I'm going to actual motor vrooms the next weekend at the short asphalt oval at the fairgrounds.

>>149845716
county* fair
yeah idk what to expect, never been to a horse pull. it's free so fuck it. thank you for reading my blog posts.

>>149844640
a shame, i really liked it(as in it provided good races)
if i remember right tehy want to go to detroit next year ?

>>149845936

>>149845716
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBy9Bz6NrXE

>>149845969
Or Philly

>>149845551
Frankly, I fucking love bars and drinking out, as long as I have a fren or two with me. I love getting all loaded and chatting up random new frens and terrorizing people with the jukebox. I either usually play some punk or metal or Rod Stewart and Styx, depending on the crowd and my mood.
Going out with coworkers is hugely important because it makes you more a part of the team. I had one job, it was pretty far from home, but everyone went out a lot after work. I was very much an outsider until I went to a few after work parties. All of a sudden, my interactions at work got a lot better. Not to mention, I started pulling girls. Just remember to watch the budget and take an Uber home if you need to.
The cool thing about sports bars or any bar with TVs is that it's no big deal to get them to put NASCAR or IndyCar session on if you know the channel. I have watched a lot of Indy practice and Truck races from a bar stool. Hell, I've watched Supercars on my phone at a bar, kek.
Also, if you want to show you are an officionato of pub music, drop this bad boy somewhere you can actually hear the music. It's a bit short, but a solid sing a long.
https://youtu.be/qae25976UgA[embed]
If you want to piss everyone off, Japanese metal works surprisingly well.
https://youtu.be/Q2bTVV4pnjI[embed]
They love this shit at my favorite bar.
What did you try to play anyway?

>>149845716
I was wrong, there is real vrooms. one late model blasting laps. pics in a sec...

>>149846300
ah fuck nvm. I guess he's done practicing. I'll post pics and concessions next weekend.

>>149845716
Anon, those both sound quite based. Going out and seeing and doing things is extremely based. I would say I hope you have a good time, but I know you will.
Now I feel a little bad for staying in and watching the ARCA race instead of going to the drag strip or the neighboring county fair.

>>149846337

What, did it interfere with the sound of gun shots? Sure, it's gentrified now, but east D.C. used to be getho as fuck.

>>149847746
>there's a team from Minnesota Buschwhacking a Wisconsin county fair lol
Kek, I guess a win is a win and it sounds like you had a good time and I was interested to hear about it, so I'd call that a win.
You said you were going to see some asphalt short track vrooms? I'd be interested to see what's up with that.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think that.

>>149848234
yeah the main feature race is late models, and then there's some other slower classes.... I heard there might be a Trailer Race of Destruction too. demolition derby where the goal is destroying the trailer behind the other cars. boats, campers, etc. shit's awesome if I remember but I haven't been to my local short oval in years because I've turned into a IndyCar/Super Formula/sports car road/street racing snob lately.

lmao did Larson really get called to the principal's office?

>>149845969
>>149846101
>>149844640
I think they should rotate it if the SD and Philly track are good enough. That way it would run less of a risk of becoming old hat if you only see it every 2 years. Would keep the tracks themselves a bit more fresh as well.

side note: if someone flips you off for taking "their" parking spot at the county fair... get your ass out of there and park somewhere else. much better to walk a bit than have some crazy fuck slash your tires or some shit. people are crazy in the USA these days dude wtf.
other than that the horse pull was fun. it's like... redneck golf. you have to be quiet while they're setting up and pulling. and then you do the polite golf clap after. don't wanna spook the horses

>>149848415
I had to have a talk with my mom a couple months back. Visited her (by plane) so she drove for the week I was there. She was so heavy with the horn and throwing her arms up at drivers it was crazy. For reference, she lives in South Carolina which has the most retarded drivers in America by a mile, so she was justified. But I had to tell her that she's 5-2 100lbs and she can't be provoking road rage. She laughed me off but I kept at it. Told her she's gonna provoke the wrong person one time and it'll be bad, so she told me she'll "dial it down".

I've seen way too many road rage videos online to engage with psychos. It is never worth it.

>>149848346
Larson got punted by Gravel after the he threw a slider coming to the finish for P3 then Gravel drove back to exchange words and flipped him off - both got escorted to the hauler and tomorrow is the big finale for $200k. It WILL be must watch TV

>>149848496
oh yeah man, nobody is gonna touch my car because of some parking bullshit. or shoot me. it's sad but you must practice situational awareness and OPSEC these days. even in little old bumfuck Wisconsin. people are fucking crazy.

they are not even people. subhuman. if the roar of an engine does not get you going, you are an automaton, not worthy of life. David Letterman said it best, these are sounds that humans were not meant to hear. divine sounds from God. Vrooms are sacred.

>>149849398
I'm somewhat excited to be a wageslave? my new job is 7am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday. plenty of time for American, Australian, and Asian vrooms. European vrooms are the problem.

idk what people are thinking these days but having tattoos and/or piercings does not make a man or woman tough, it's all a facade...
thank you Anons again for reading my blog post.

these fuckers are gonna fucking kill me holy shit. some crossover SUV bullshit just ran through the damn parking lot at maximum speed... just know that I appreciated you gentlemen of culture.

next time someone gives you shit about staying home and watching motor racing or playing videya games, tell them to fuck off. normie assholes.

>the NGPH "hoped to alleviate residents' concerns with free tickets and offers to put them up in hotels during the weekend.
The free tickets, sure. I always thought that was something that should be done when an event like this takes place or you have houses particularlyclose to a track, but I can't imagine putting thousands of people up in a hotel would even be possible, let alone sustainable. (Unless you are the UK government, but that's an entirely different project.)

Hill climb Chads, we're back!
Today, we are in Norway for Norges Raeste Bakkelop (Norway´s Roughest HillClimb). They are sending a pretty diverse and interesting range of machinery, everything from daily driver shit boxes to well prepared shitboxes to small prototype style sports cars. The course looks extremely challenging and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous!
If any of our Scandinavian bros have anything to add, we'd love to hear it.

Oh, babay, I know what a trailer race is! That should be pretty entertaining, if a bit goofy.

Asphalt late models are totally sick. They are kind of better than even asphalt modifieds because they can do more door banging without spaghetting all over the place. All the short ovals around here are dirt, which is cool, but I wish we had an asphalt oval so I could see those cars more often.
>but I haven't been to my local short oval in years
Yeah, I went through that a bit, but I try to get out to my local tracks a few times a year. Going out and watching and doing things is extremely based and it's important to help keep the track open. I probably should have gone to the drag strip last night instead of watching ARCA, but oh well. There's always next weekend.
Anyways, have fun and post concessions!

>She was so heavy with the horn and throwing her arms up at drivers it was crazy.

Is she from the northeast? That's just part of driving up there. Also, turn signals are seen as a sign of weakness. Most people don't take it too seriously because they do it all the time, too. It might not be so well received down south.

>>149849979
>7am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday
Based. I'm 6 am to 2:30. It's pretty great for daily erands and watching vrooms. (Except all those dirt races that don't have the A main until 11:30)
I turned down quite a few offers of night/weekend shifts for a job at a place that isn't even open at those times. Also, I can usually at least listen to if not watch anything that's on during the day. I.e. the Weenie 500.

no offense to dirt oval guys, but I think rally cars are the true kings of the dirt/gravel/sand. remember SRX? I wished Tony Stewart would have gotten some WRC guys in those races, but it was always NASCAR or IndyCar drivers.

These Norwegian vrooms are crazy. They have drift and drag events and skidoo racing on the water.

Yeah, it was pretty great. I understand why it died, but it was extremely comfy.
>it was always NASCAR or IndyCar drivers.
It was a series for Tony and his buddies to goof around. If he had done rally driving, we probably would have seen some rally drivers. I would be interested to see a WRC driver in a dirt late model, too, though.

>>149851866
Imagine the size of the gram cracker that thing is going on!

>>149852014
an oval track might be new to a rally driver, but dirt would not. I think WRC guys would have dominated the dirt races if they had been invited to SRX.

>>149852226
The R8 is currently the most produced GT3 car ever.

>>149852326
I'll hazard a guess that it's down to lack of parts, being expensive to run and maintain, and not being that competitive in the first place

>>149852334
even vs the Porsche 911? (all versions)

>>149852363
I'm pretty sure that stat is breaking down the 911 by version. It basically has to be.

tired of GT3 being all German cars, with a few Italian Ferraris/Lamborghinis. a few Bru'ish Aston Martins. yeah you got the Corvette and Mustang now, but Japan basically quit GT3, except Toyota/Lexus who are coming out with a new car soon.

>IGTC: 30 Entries For Suzuka 1000km Revival
we need more next year. more. MORE CARS!

>>149852326
There just were not that many NSX GT3 cars built to begin with and I'd guess the support infrastructure wasn't ever that great either. They made 310 Audi R8 LMS GT3 cars, including all evo versions and, if they coppied their cousin Porsche's homework, they would have had killer customer support, including massive spares packages. You typically don't buy just the car, you usually get a fuckton of parts with it. Stuff like body panels, breaks, axels, an extra ECU, so there are probably a ton of extra bits in existence for the R8 already. The NSX, not so much.

>>149852478
>WEC/IMSA: What Does The Future Of Porsche’s 963 Programme Look Like?
fuck them if they bitch out and quit, but I have to admit Porsche are right on this, there should have always been one set of regulations, and not LMH/LMDh.

>>149852656

>Button to Depart JOTA at End of Season
Sad to see him go, but I don't think the team will have a hard time replacing him. It's a decent program and there are sonmany good drivers on the market.
>Toyota’s Floury Calls For “Urgent” Change to Fix “Artificial” Racing
I think there are two things going on here. First, Ferrari showed up and actually provided some real competition for Toyota. Second
>the WEC’s sporting regulations forbid direct criticism of the (BoP) system
Personally, I don't have a problem with BoP, but I think adjusting it every single race is ridiculous. If teams want to run a light car with lower power or a heavier car with more power, they should be able to, but they should also have to live with that decision for a while. Maybe have a mid-season joker where they can change some stuff and adjust any gross discrepancies as they show up, but otherwise, leave things alone for most ofnthe season.
>What Does The Future Of Porsche’s 963 Programme Look Like?
It looks like quitting while you are ahead.
>Fuji Sprint Necessary for Future WEC, IGTC Tie-Ups
Based. Hipe
>Fuji Sprint Necessary for Future WEC, IGTC Tie-Ups
What is going on here? The only real reason I could see to run support races for WEC would be to gain international attention for the series, which is about the last thing I think SGT wants. All that other stuff, the sprint races and all that can be done on any other weekend and I fail to see what anything done at Fuji would have to to with Suzuka. Otherwise, I'm totally stoked for some SGT sprint races. Anyone who thinks they would be boring has never watched IMSA at Long Beach. It's basically just starting at the end of the race, except the entire feild is still in contention. It's also a great opportunity to introduce new fans to the sport sice it cust out a lot of the more confusing elements of endurance racing. I love endurance racing, but I would also love to see more sports car sprint races.

>>149852826
Yeah, they are definitely not the hungry young company they once were. They are old and bloated and desperately trying to hold onto whatever they can, much likenthe Big 3 while the Japs were coming up. Now, the Koreans are eating their lunch and they don't know what to do about it. If Hyundai entered IndyCar the shitting of Honda would be complete.
I wish they would make a sports car or at least a coupe of the Stinger and Genesis, but apparently the faggots that buy new cars want cuckmobile crossovers.

>>149853219
I wish, the stinger actually went alright. It was just pigfat heavy. It was a running joke at work about how many techs managed to spin a stinger once TC was turned off on road tests.

I said from the start it wasn't a serious effort with this Penske tie up, Porsche have never needed another company to run their garage for them so you could see they never really wanted to come back and only got dragged in by the fia because the championship was a joke with just Toyota in it.

The Stinger weights 3600 lbs, has 365 hp and 255 tires on the rears. The C6 is 3200 lbs, has 400 hp and 390 rear tires and it's super easy to spin with a heavy foot and the TC off.
The Stinger is also longer, narrower and taller, but I think it's more of a skill issue, but I actually have never driven one.

Yeah, I can't really get excited about Hyundai, but I'm always glad to have fresh influence in racing. The only real concern is longevity. Honda may be a bad partner for a lot of reasons, but they have stuck around for a long time. The only real concern with Hyundai is that they might have a change of priorities or leadership and pull out after a few seasons.

Didnt watch MotoGP because it was boring to see markek win over and over again. Did he win again ?

>>149854327

many such cases, car manufacturer people are fickle bitches and do not truly love the vrooms as we do. (with the exception of Akio "Morizo" Toyoda)
