>incidental accident
dentistry wins again

and more FCY

ferrari on fire

>FCY again

Track gets a little bit cold and all the shitters start crashing

fucking hell

>Ferrari

Well, who knew I'd need a GTD Moment pic..

bros I’m starting to think dentists and lawyers who want to pretend to be a race driver shouldn’t be on the fucking race track

It's shit like this why I've generally lost interest in IMSA this year. It seems like 2/3 of the races are more yellow than green. I know that's not accurate... but it fucking feels like it.

So did we get 65 seconds of green this time?

Love Valkyrie.

>Corvette no!
>What?
>Sorry, forces of habitat.

remove LMP2 from IMSA and WEC
those shitters can fuck off to ELMS and/or "Asian" (Arab) LMS

>>150087850
literal batmoblile

>>150087848
always was
the worst is the fact that it takes them ages to recover the car no matter what

Why are there so many shitters causing yellows in IMSA compared to WEC?

>>150087848
What makes it insufferable are the long ass caution laps, it shouldn’t take 10+ minutes to get a car off the track

>>150087849
I just started watching The Ren and Stimpy Show from S1E0 yesterday. It's still weird as hell.

>>150087847
maybe just not in top-tier IMSA

>>150087860
there is no lmp2 in wec

remove LMP2 from IMSA and Le Mans
those shitters can fuck off to ELMS and/or "Asian" (Arab) LMS

>>150087860
We should have a proper Asian Le Mans Series with more races on East Asian countries when the Hypercar privateers enter on.

>>150087850
Based Portubro

>>150087879
I'm an oldfag and have been a huge fan since it premiered
Probably shaped my taste and sense of humor more than Id like to admit

>>150087860
They split off LMP3 into VP Racing, LMP2 should go to the Michelin Pilot Challenge, but I would miss the crowded fields.

>>150087848
If I remember right over 50% of the Glenn was yellow

>>150087884
fixed>>150087885

>20 mins done
>2 mins of green flag racing

>>150087860
WEC only races LMP2 at Le Mans; a normal race is just GT3 and hypercar. These rich shitters shouldn’t be anywhere near a car desu.

>>150087868
I don't remember it always being THIS bad. This year feels significantly worse...
>>150087875
Yes, it also feels like that is worse this year too, and getting worse as the year goes on...
Again, I don't have numbers to back these feelings up... but whatever...

>>150087886
this, how can you call it "Asian" with no race in Japan?
>>150087897
MPC has enough shitters already

/biz/ idea: penalize drivers for lack of driving standards. Just start parking shitters.

>>150087850
Coolest car in competition today and an instant classic. I can't wait to see it in person.

>>150087897
>LMP2 should go to the Michelin Pilot Challenge,
lmp2 and tcr on the same track? bold.

I thought this was supposed to be a short stop without pitstops
???

>camera man almost banged out by the wing of the porsha as it slides off from its pit box

based

>pits have opened


Alright bros time for 15 minutes of caution

>>150087931
short yellow*

>>150087928
if you cause a yellow on the first lap you should be black flagged even if you get your car going again

>25min gone
>2 laps under green
classic imsa

>>150087869
WEC is more expensive on a per race basis.

GT3 cars are GOATed
that's all, thank you for reading my blogpost

let's see some pit lane fuckery

>>150087894
>I'm an oldfag and have been a huge fan since it premiered
>Probably shaped my taste and sense of humor more than Id like to admit
Same. It made sense on MTV, the switch to Nickelodeon was weird... at the time. Considering how the creator and everyone at Nick were NONCEs, it fits in hindsight.

Green flag racing... por favor...

>tfw you will never own a mustang gtd and commute to work through the country lanes from your home on elkhart lake where you live with your attractive trad wife raising your family

>>150087886
>should have a proper Asian Le Mans Series with more races on East Asian countries
Yes

>>150088017
I used to take County J to work through Elkhart, then past Road America every day for work.

>>150088017
The Mustang GTD is more rare than the Ford GT.

IMSA green flag racing challenge?? [impossible] [cops called] [emotional]

>inb4 GTP juans in turn 3

The Road America ticket office called me just now asking if I want to renew tickets for Indycar and IMSA.

green green green

>>150088090
I wonder how much the tickets will be for the 6 hour race next year.

Cam on, Cadillac!

sports car racing

>>150088111
RA has always kept their ticket prices pretty decent, and even if the raised them they would still be reasonable compared to other events.

BUY CHEESE

I bet it smells like grilled meat and smoke from the grill at road America

>>150088213
I've heard drivers say they can smell the grills and... other things from the car at Nurburgring.

rexy took a bite out of the pony!

mustang drivers are acting like assholes. i like it!

/missshea/

>>150088170
>RA has always kept their ticket prices pretty decent
indeed
>>150088213
it does

what the FUCK happened to speedville???

Im getting hungry... might just go casually spend 25 bucks at Taco Bell

>>150088187
I bought Sargento's pepper jack cheese a month ago, it was alright.

>>150088337
Get me 9 soft tacos please

>>150088337
Do it!

>>150088337
what are you getting thats 25 bucks at taco bell bro one of those $7 boxes is more than enough

>>150088349
Sargento products are generally good, however they're a converting only company, they don't actually make the cheese.

>>150088314
replaced by a Motul sign
for IndyCar it was replaced by a Velo sign
I think the sign on that bridge changes depending on the race weekend, I think it was back to Johnsonville during the Trans-Am weeknd

>>150088386
Yeah, I learned about that later. Still, if they support racing, I'll be buying some cheese every now and then.

>LMP2

>LMP2 shittery

this shit sucks

>>150088508
Fucking based.
Total Corvette domination!

why do imsa yellows feel so long, is it because of the tracks, no virtual sc or slow jannies?

>>150088440
Sargento has been a longtime sponsor of RA and a number of other things in the area. Louie Gentine, who is the third or 4th generation CEO, is also President of the Board at Road America.
>>150088464
Yeah, they're easily the largest converting facility in the area, and have pretty good customer service too, if one of theie products suck, they'll throw coupons for free shit at you. I work for one of their competitors now, but I do like the Gentine family.

>>150088579
Because /turnleft/ owns IMSA and does the same Caution procedures.

A staggering level of shittery

We are approaching levels of cautions only deemed possible in Trans-Am TA2.

>heavy thunderstorm just rolled through

i'm never watching imsa again

We are reaching Jack Hawk levels of GT3 murder.

>>150088828

>Corvette Massacre
Its my fault guys, I saw one the Pratt Miller guys at the ice cream parlor in South Pier yesterday, and I wished him good luck tomorrow.

Sorry you're one of the 'Vette fans.

2 doritos locos tacos

and a couple cheesy bean and rice burritos for my wife

i just put a frozen pizza in the oven, should be done just as the next yellow comes out

>comms mentioning alcoholic drinks
KANPAI~

>>150088878
Do you seriously expect NASCAR to save you from yellow flag hell?

Sorry for the delay. I definitely need a new proc.
Anyway
>Vette

>>150088952
Baaed as hell.

>>150089009
no not completely... theyre on a short oval too... but with two races going I have a much better chance of actually watching racing at some point

>>150089021
Total Porsche death!
Is your RAM maxed?

holy fuck that restart

stang surge!

Cam on Cat Sperg!

Anyone got a webm of that restart? How the fuck did he do that?

>>150088577
>tfw at a garage sale last week one of the items for sale was a white with red soft top 89 vette
I wish i had the free money to get it. But it looked in great condition from the outside at least.

caddybros...

big spin

>FCY

Your weekly Caddy pain segment brought to you by Motul.

Why the hell did they FCY this?

slurp

tough section to pass in + mega owned by tandy

>little love top
>mega spin
grass is lava

>>150089178
It's pretty classic. You just down shift and let off the throttle until you see the car behind you nose dive from breaking. Then, you let the clutch out and stomp the gas. AKA, the Newgarden special.
Works great on BMW/Lexusfags in traffic. Try it some time.

>>150088952
>should be done just as the next yellow comes out
Was about a minute too early...
Anyway, this Red Baron pizza sucks but I like it

I wouldn't mind the cautions as much if their procedures to get everything started again didn't take 45 minutes.

>>150089257
How much?
Also, Total Porsche death! But also WTR.

one more normal caution and it we're officially over 50% yellow again

>>150089281
>Your weekly Caddy pain segment brought to you by
WTR
seriously. It's the Ganassi curse.
He should have just held the line and let the Porsche spin himself.

>3 wide in the pitlane
love me lmpee 2

>>150089328
Red Barron is pretty good as long shot it isn't thin crust. I just don't care for thin crust.

>LMP2 three wide in pit lane
That's the cleanest racing of LMP2 today

Cue music from "Curb your enthusiasm" by Luciano Michelini

>>150089363
it's a love/hate relationship

Lazy this weekend.

>>150089332
I never asked cause there were several people actually buying stuff and my autism didn't want to bother him with a hundred questions when i dont have the money to get it. However his house is along my normal walk route so if i see him outside chilling in the future ill ask about it.

>>150089428
I have a friend looking at C4 and C5 Corvettes. I'm trying to steer him towards a C5, but thay C4 looks clean as hell. Let me know in the general.

>dat penal

there is no fucking way that move from mustang was legal

Winward niggers...
What a fucking shit show.

poor lambo got destroyed by hyper sniffer

Driving standards are really low today, but it is fun toi watch

HAAHHA this is amazing
i love this
fucking yellow flags took way too much time

LMP2s are conspicuously inconspicuous

This isThe 57 AMG caught a penalty to getting punted bt the Aston?

new sponsors on hyper gaben

We got a Valk in 6th? Nice

>>150089695
He swerved into the Aston earlier in the straight and the Aston hitting him was a result of that.

>>150089694
The only cause yellow flags and shit up the timing and scoring feed.

>>150089702
Everyone is driving like total saars today. It's so hard to tell who is in the wrong.

Yeah, gonna need a yellow in the next 10 minutes or we ain't gonna crack the 50%.

>>150089690
im not sure why road america hasn't always been an endurance race

>>150089746
Total Rexy death.

>>150089767
This has been a topic of much discussion.

they should let them race like that every race

>the 6 hour next year is gonna kick ass

>>150089916
it just feels like a mid engine sports car for people who can't afford a real mid engine sports car

>>150089927
It was pretty mid, but I got a coupon and I didn't want to cook during the race.

The transition to WTR and it's consequences have been a disaster for Cadillac.

SRO GY4 has better driving standards.

>>150089930
Let's be real, no one is satisfied with 6 Hours of RA

one more >lmp2

Great result for the Valk, hopefully we can see this kind of performance in WEC soon.

LMP2 lurking for another moment

A wild Vette in its natural habitat

>>150089916
A corvette with an entire generation without a manual option just feels wrong, it could've also been an opportunity for GM to make pure front engine sports cars like what Porsche does with rear engine.

>>150090068
>>150090078
What’s he thinking about?

I've only got to watch the FCYs before the /turnleft/ started.
Onto IMS.

>>150090040
I was stoked until I saw this shit show.

>>150090084
of he should get a cheeky egger or not

>>150090068
Killing a leaf Lamborghini driver, probably.

>>150090075
The C8 is a decent car but a massive fail as a Corvette. A low revving, front engine sledge hammer that shakes like an earthquake when you fire it up is so fucking satisfying it's unreal. If I wanted a mid engine car, there are plenty out there.

>coof mask
is this nigga serious
race was horrible with this much time under yellow
only saved by 45 min of stock car racing

>Anal fuckfest, thrill Olympics
>Savage, scourge, supply and sanctify
>So what? (So what?)

>>150090040
yeah it should be at least 10 hours like Petit Le Mans

>>150089930

>>150089944
>>150090075
>>150090163
yeah tbf i can definitely understand why people dont like it

>>150090639
The C8 isn't a bad car by any means. It just should have been called something else.

>>150089944
>a mid engine sports car for people who can't afford a real mid engine sports car
Pretty sure you described Lotus.
