Mind sharing some 4chanX filters, to get rid of the general rubbish?

If the price of so many manufacturers entering wec is that the cars are the slowest prototype racing cars in modern history and the details of design are less important than playing political games and abusing badly thought out systems then what is the point?
If expense is the issue then it can be overcome by just sticking ~2000hp engines on the cars, when you've that much power drag doesn't matter as much, so you can make really draggy high downforce cars. Give the manufacturers freedom in engine design and it would be relatively cheap to makes these engines.
Group C was a fuel efficiency formula and was still great, so make engines with practically unlimited horsepower but limited fuel.

So much of top class modern motorsport is pegging the cars back, this is done in literally hundreds of places, i refuse to believe that these excellent very competent engineers can't find a single way of making the cars go quick cheaply. Standing still in terms of lap time until the safety improves is one thing, but actually going backwards compared to the previous generation (which themselves were subject to so many restrictions) is just pathetic.

If there's not going to be even the slightest pretense of having a contest of engineering between the manufacturers, then just say fuck it and make everything a spec series - at least then the racing is sure to be good.

all IMSA races (except maybe the Long Beach/Detroit street races, and the GT3-only round at VIR) should be at least 6 hours because you gotta factor in time for cautions. plus by the halfway mark most of the worst pay driver shitters should have shitted themselves out of the race and the real race can begin. that or stop the clock during caution periods.

>>150091278
>spec series - at least then the racing is sure to be good.
*blocks ur path*

>>150091381
tbf everyone thinks his car is out of spec somehow just no one knows how or has any proof

>>150091381
of course Palou and Ganassi are gonna dominate when Team Penske have been shitting their pants all season. at least it has been giving some of the smaller teams a chance to get some good results, maybe it will help them to get some better sponsorship money to be more competitive.

>>150091434
the best one I've heard is how Ganassi and Honda secretly rigged the hybrid system to function as traction control

>>150091278
the reason BoP exists is because manufacturers want it. yeah they might bitch about how they were BoPped unfairly in a given race or season, but they love the overall BoP system because it saves them money. it enables them to say they are in racing for marketing purposes without actually having to out-engineer the competition, which is very expensive. if they had to actually make a faster car with a better engine like in the past, costs would go through the roof and they would all quit.

Good evening race fans

I would not greatly recommend pulling an all nighter to watch Suzuka right before you leave for orthopedic surgery, I didn't know if I could get my eyes open long enough to put my pants back on.

>F1 woman psychology
F1 woman psychology is actually that the driver matters and only should matter (in a technical sport yeah). f1 is incredibly popular for decades here way before dts and Ive never met a woman who was able to comprehend the category of carbabby or that peep.like hamilkwab or hill were carried to the wdc by superior machinery
they can only think about emotions and humans, they cant comprehend the tech being a factor

>>150093044
they've been cheating like crazy for decades in F1. i don't think they were ever as bold as Jimmie Johnson putting 200 lbs of lead weights in his tires for weigh in though

>>150093267
The girls i know that watch f-1 are fat and autistic they can undestand that F1 reality is best car wins

Kek surprising no one, a drunk Kalle was spotted in the K-Rauta near the service park:D

>>150093316
here it is full of normies, the autismo part is really - really small, and even within the normies fatties who like male things in a hope they will be noticed are pretty small. You can see absolute 10s on tinder/bumble/etc mentioning f1
I guess having the longest running gp (this was the 40th straight b2b) without any gap years has an effect, and maybe a reason why there are hungarians in every f1 team from physios to mechanics, engineers

>>150091278

They just need to fix the caution procedure.

Unbelievably based.

Well, I can't say it is surprising, but it's still pretty damn sad.
>>150095568
Yeah, I guess Lamborghini thought that too, but I'm pretty sure they just gas lit themselves into thinking they could do it for next to free or maybe that Riley would magically figure it out.

>>150095153
I think everybody saw this coming, its too bad cause the car looked amazing. At least they're keeping their hat in the ring for the GT programs.

>>150094760
They just need to change the procedures for FCY.They take too damn long for no reason.

>>150096108
>>150095568
It might've had a chance but they needed to run more races. You cant just show up to the bigger events and think you will ever sort shit out. Say what you want about the Aston being a shitbox, but at least they're showing up every week and taking the lumps to try and figure it out.

> Fuck Hangooks
> Fuck the raingods
> Fuck the us govt with their crippling dieselgate fine, took so much racism from us

>>150096161
needed more mileage, i dont think they would have benefitted with more races instead of more testing. More so bc in races they have less flexibility to change or try things out. For the things they needed to sort out (suspension, engine durability for example) would been enough to test the shit out of it.
but they didnt do too much testing either...

The Honeycutt release from Niece seems really weird. He's 6th in points and the playoffs are about to start. Did he get busted with another team? Could be he's going to the Heim truck next year or something and Niece found out.

>>150098618
Also, how is that Downfords Twitter account out-scooping every NASCAR reporter?

>>150098618
Toyota might have bought out his Niece contract to put him in the Friesen truck for the rest of this year.

whatever happen to this guy

>>150097050
>singaporeanon still missing
Maybe he got a 3 day ban? Hopefully he will be back soon. It is insane that he would miss the Super GT sprints and IMSA.

Whats stopping indycars from making cars like this? Someone on motorsports need to advance we nerd 400+kph

>>150099675
Looks expensive but also think of the turbulence that probably produces

>>150099878
it is raced in digital air, turbulance does not matter

>>150099663
>>150099675
It wouldn't be very hard to make a car capable of doing 400 kph. The problem is driver survivability in the event of a crash. Just look at Pagenaud, he wasn't even really going that fast and he got some series head trauma. It's also quite dangerous for the spectators. This is why you often see new cars under new regulations going slower than previous generations when they come out. It gives them room to develop speed without getting unnecessarily dangerous. Even the old ass DW12 could be a lot faster if they just turned up the boost. NASCAR, too if they just allowed more air into the engine.

>>150100352
Surely aero characteristics are simulated in 'digital air' before the chassis is actually manufactured...

I heard the IMSA race was a shitterfest

>>150101246
First half was, yes
As opposed to the Cup race, in which the 2nd half was

>>150096111
When they open the pits under yella they have to let each class pit by themselves (GTP and GTD don’t pit at the same time under yellow for example) and then they let cars un-lap themselves relative to the class leader. And when they have 3 classes of cars late in a race, it fucking takes forever

>>150101285
They just need to either do local cautions or if there's nothing to clean up call it a shorter FCY with none of the shuffling stuff. Its frustrating when they do all that nonsense just cause a car spun out. They should just do something like F1 where a FCY just locks the field in place quick to get a car out of the way for a minor incident and then the full safety car for bigger things.

>>150101399
The local cautions at Le Mans are pretty smart and I like those, but that makes sense since de la sarthe is tremendously fuckhuge.

But yeah a virtual safety car period to get a car back on track at a big track like road America that only lasts like 2 laps should be the procedure

>>150101399
They need to do something. It's completely turned me off from IMSA this year actually

Just penalize poor driving standards

>3 different cars on the same track?
>how does that work…?

>>150101540
the one thing I hate about hindy that he is absolutely blindly biased, and I guess because he is very-very dependent on their broadcast contracts.
I nearly never hear him criticizing race direction or things like that, he always polishes the dick of everyone in the broadcast how fantastic was even the wors yellowfest or slurper.
The retired drivers in the official WEC commentary or F1TV shit live on air on steward decisions or race direction pretty frequently so that means they have a free speech on that

>>150101516
>do you think they could have used some sort of alien technology to trick the IMSA computers?
>look at that prototype, they must weigh like 2-3 gorillas

fucking kek

>>150101612
> Listen, 3 races in one race is against god's will.
> But I go even further. They put another championship in your championship to kill babies because they are demons. They want to confuse you, distract you with these so calees "in season challenges" and "playoffs" while they go rampant on babies and you won't even notice because you spend your time calculating who the fuck leads or has a chance at the championship. I tell you these are demons from hell

>>150101641
the retired drivers sure but then the main commentator proceeds to suck the dick of the racing series to shut down any criticism, commentary is not allow to break the illusion of the "golden age" of sports car racing, everything is prefect and you should be happy

>>150101765
we may don't watch the same commentary then but alex 99 percent of cases don't challenge dc or palmer on these. And neither does Haven with Davidson, while hindy is 99 percent glazing

I just don’t like Martin haven for being confidently wrong for the entirety of the broadcast desu

>>150101826
>And neither does Haven with Davidson
haven goes on rants about how great bop is all the time, to the point davidson just stays shut and changes the subject afterwards

>>150101459
>Just penalize poor driving standards
Yes, but the caution procedures still need work. Also, get rid of LMP2 and the distinction between GTD Pro and GTD or at least don't treat them differently under cautions.

>>150101641
>I nearly never hear him criticizing race direction or things like that
You should listen to Midweek Motorsports. He definitely know which side his bread is buttered on, but he is more critical on there.
It's more
>I just don't understand the thinking on that instead of
>What a fucking retard
But he's definitely more critical there than onnthe broadcast.
I bet this week's is going to be a good one.

Neat trophy

>>150102942
great race, superb move by him the other driver didnt even expect it there

>>150098698
Sounds like you're correct. Toyota had him signed, but went ahead and bought him out to run Friesen's truck (after this next race). Very weird situation and a kick in the nuts for Niece. They took a lot of heat with the release announcement, but there was obviously more to that story. Pretty shitty of Kaden Honeycutt, too. Should have finished off his commitment and ran for a championship with Niece. Burning that Chevy bridge at this stage in his career is a very poor choice.

Way of the Samurai

Not to get overly excited this early in the week, but SVG is back in the 9 for WGI xfin and Zilisch is in the 87 for the Cup race.

>>150103128
Toyota's hands were tied since they can't bring in guest drivers from cup or xfinity and Brent Crews can't run all the playoff tracks.
I think the only available TRD driver that can run all the tracks is Isabella Robusto, which would have been funny but obviously not good for Toyota or the #52 team.

>>150103490
>racing series?

>>150103463
While this is true, it's still a Toyota problem for not having a better development landscape. Honeycutt committed to Niece and had them in good shape to run for a championship. I get it's just the truck series, but that's a bad look for him. Way worse than when Reddick bailed on RCR imo. Just completely fucked over a Chevy team and burned a manufacturer bridge before he even made it to Xfinity.

>>150100520
This is bullshit, real drivers grave that shit i am telling you, they should try to make the 400+ kph Cars in any class, the 400kph Cars are completely drivable, if you pulled 9gs on a curve nothing would happen they try to say its the same as jets pilots but is fake as shit, one is force on the x axis and the other y axis, you can pull like 20g in the x axis

Now 400+ kph bikes are actually undriveable imo at least for now

>>150103853
>you can pull like 20g in the x axis
If you don't mind drivers puking on themselves after 2 laps and coming out of the car with bruises everywhere.

>>150103490
A buddy of mine moved to Japan for two years after graduating. He taught English to grade schoolers to pay the bills and told me their culture was so different than ours, it took him a long time to adjust. This was in 2011 and he's still there, married and has a senpai.

>>150104077
Yeah ok? A 400kph car wont pull 20g, maybe 8?

Man, I really hate handegg.

Idk how did you feel guys, but on sunday after the rally ended It really felt short. Like if there was no proper amount of rallying, even though they ran the whole 300+ km of special stages.
And yeah it was not just the fastest, but the shortest full lenght rally finland ever. I just wish with the new framework and the rule givenpossibility to have a longer route, for these fast rallies like this or sweden, it was lenghtened to at least amount for 3 hours of special stages
1 Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo 3:19:06.2 | 333.06km
2 Rally Sweden 2:33:39.2 | 293.84km
3 Safari Rally Kenya 4:20:03.8 | 383.1km
4 Rally Islas Canarias 2:54:39.8 | 301.3km
5 Rally de Portugal 3:48:35.9 | 344.4km
6 Rally Italia Sardegna 3:34:24.5 | 320.08km
7 Acropolis Rally Greece 4:12:20.1 | 345.76km
8 Rally Estonia 2:36:35.1 | 308.35km
9 Rally Finland 2:21:51.4 | 307.22km

>>150106381
i wonder what the shortest full length rally ever is

>>150106390
https://www.juwra.com/stats_event_stage_mileage.html
A lot of intentionally shortened rallies are here from the covid era, I don't really see them as "full lenght rallies"

>1977 new zealand 2200km
lmao wtf? 75 stages?

>>150106480
BAsed
The "pussified" 200-300km format wasnt always the case, even the last wrc event safari rally before the long break in 2002 was more than 1000km long in special stages, and even the rest of the season was around 400km at every rally (bar cyprus) instead of the current 300.
https://www.ewrc-results.com/season/2002/1-wrc/

>>150106670
and a few years earlier everything was around 500
https://www.ewrc-results.com/season/1995/1-wrc/
A few decades and we will only have 150km rallies kek

>>150104431
That truck barely fits on that course.

>>150106670
is 75 stages as a rally event the most? i cannot fathom doing 75 fucking rally stages in a row

>>150106670
300km is okay they should just stop reusing stages completely, with how small the margins are today 500km rallies would become boring fast

>>150107138
but with more km reliability becomes a bigger factor so you'd have that to spice things up

With the longer rallies with how small differences are it could make similarly exciting rallies I do think, with a linger rally there is more chance for making mistakes, etc. In Estonia we've seen Tanak and Neuville changed places like 6 times in a day.
More so if there would be just a bit more (like 3-4 competitive) rc1 entries, so the leader would be too much behind in the road order and not in the ideal position

THIS. But it is impossible for us to return to unique stages for the same reasons that we have been hearing for almost 25 years (since Marlboro left)

Certainly not, but that post was particularly grim. I mean, I don't really give a fuck about Asian broads to begin with, but it's just a side project to promote the series. I think it's painfully cringe, but they aren't trying to appeal to over 40 Americans with an existing strong dedication to racing. The Nips have been pretty fucked up since the financial decline over there, so I cut them a lot of slack.

Yes that was too much, almost another sport. Just a couple more tarmac rallies, although at the time some drivers complained that 16 rallies a year were too many

Anons, I've been thinking about the implications of Audi dropping GT3 support and Lamborghini "putting on hold" the LMDh program, which is lies, it's fucking done.
and I can only conclude that there seems to be infighting within the Volkswagen Group on which brand gets to be "in charge" of racing. but even Porsche has been wishy-washy on if they will continue the 963 program with Team Penske...

>>150110563
If you look for bad things, you will find them.

>>150110684
Shut up, snow nigger.

>>150111368
the audi didnt just shelve gt3 it ended its lmdh, tcr and rally4 programs, and the reasoning was F1
Lambo is full of cash, but they went to the lmdh route which is the cheapo formula and they thought it will be always cheap and eazy game as it is a half specs series. They fucked up royally and the cheap formula became not so cheap so they bailed.
The most -most plausible conteo is that they want to transfer by some clever contracts and accounting as many money into vw and ausi as possible to help them as they are seriously in the shit

The whole reason rich amateurs were in sports cars was because there wasn't supposed to be the bumper to bumper, fender to fender diddling of other forms of racing so they could be reasonably assured to go back to their job Monday with their health and car intact. If you're just going to destroy your shit on endless staged restarts for an imaginary TV audience you may as well just race ARCA.

>>150111478
I mean, is there a gnarlier track to test your new car on than the Nordschleife? so I agree in theory that it is worthy as rigorous test track. but considering most drivers will never go that fast or reach that level of driving skill, it might be overkill. but I don't think it's a bad thing for a car to be able to handle much more than the average driver could ever do. cars should be robust, perhaps even overengineered.

Just because a bunch of nocars use it to prop up fallacious arguments doesn't mean it's a completely invalid empirical measurement. Just look at what Porache did to get the best overall lap time with the 919 or how everyone, including people ITT were sucking the Verslurpin dong when he posted a good time in an uninspected GT3.

Like so many people you fail to realize there is a third option. Just remain relative objective.

While it's pretty funny, I don't think a government agency (that doesn't want you to die for Isreal) is going to sponsor a race car. However in the off chance that it is true, this is the single funniest sponsorship in racing history.

According to Wikipedia, there were 375 in service as of 2019. 400 were built according to the article, and 14 were delivered to the Japs, and 16 have been lost to crashes as of 2023. Another went down in 2024, so that puts us at 17 crashed.

>>150112596
how many crashed while being operated by the JSDF?

>>150112622
None, according to the seperate article dedicated to Osprey crashes. It appears to be Marine Corps Ospreys that are particularly susceptible to crashes, AFSOC has lost only one, the most recent crash, which was late 2023, not 2024 like I said earlier. Gomenasai. The latest version for the Navy (squids operate two different variants) that is intended mostly for shipborne resupply ops has suffered no crashes so far, despite entering service in 2019.

>>150112760
Another correction, the Navy actually only operates that new variant of V-22. They'd borrowed Marine V-22s previously.

>>150112760
>>150112778
so do we have shitty pilots, or is it a flawed aircraft?

>>150112552
>Forza Horizonn 5 suggested line turns red on dirt races as if to say "don't cut"
lies. always cut.
however, if you are playing DiRT Rally 2.0, the pace notes are pretty accurate on when not to cut.

>>150112813
I wouldn't call it a flawed aircraft, as the other anon said it's half a chopper, and choppers have a nasty habit of dropping straight out of the sky. Frankly, it isn't even that uncommon for planes. I think the V-22s problems are threefold: 1) it can do more than a plane or a helicopter can, so it gets pushed a little too hard by the occasional pilot or CO and it crashes, 2) relatedly, because it is both helicopter and plane, it is at risk of both the kinds of physical conditions that cause planes to crash (for example, a compressor stall), and the kinds of conditions that cause helicopters to crash (for example, vortex ring state), and 3) the Marines famously fight for scraps in the budget, and that plus the oorah tempo-tempo-tempo jarhead culture probably mean they don't get nearly the amount of servicing they should, meaning shit wears out, breaks, and the bird crashes.

I suspect there's room to improve, and it's noteworthy that Bell's new MV-75 keeps the engines fixed and only tilts the rotors and the dirveshafts, since allegedly that will be the new Blackhawk replacement and Bell also built the V-22. But all-in-all, I think the V-22 gets a harsher reputation than it deserves.

>>150111243

sorry to get off topic BTW. was just mad that my tax dollars paid for a retarded Twitter post that likely will damage my favorite racing series.

>>150113044
It had flaws early on, back in the 2000s. I don't remember the details, and I'm too tired to look it up now, but I distinctly remember there being accidents during development and testing, and then early on in service, but they fixed those issues, which made it dramatically safer/easier to fly (but still not as safe as either a regular helicopter of fixed wing). I want to say it was something to do with the shape of the propellers? Idk... I also kind of remember hearing that in deserts, it kicked up a LOT more dust than regular helicopters, which led to loss of visibility and accidents. But I don't remember for sure.

>>150113214
I mean, hate it all you want but it's true. Billions disappear fast, in case you haven't noticed the ballooning federal debt, and when the choice is spending your cut of a surprisingly-small pie on routine maintenance or R&D for the latest shiny new toys, you know where it's going. To make matters worse, the Corps is merely a sub-component of the Department of the Navy, meaning it has to fight with all the admirals who want more subs or more carriers or more destroyers etc. Hell, when the crayonmunchers wanted to replace their M16s with a newer rifle, they had to backdoor it by insisting the weapon they were testing was an automatic rifle, something a little lighter to phase out the SAW in squads so they could be more mobile in counterinsurgency and the like. Only after they got it approved did they proceed to quietly outfit basically every jarhead with one, and then drop the charade and admit it was actually a new rifle.

Just because the feds spend shitloads of money doesn't mean they spend enough to do anything they want to do well. Again, the debt quite clearly proves they haven't been for decades.

I like my language, but I like english as well, I like the natural beauty of the country, I love my hometown, I love the historical culture and heritage of my nation.
But there are several things I hate and I know that even if change starts tomorrow, the root issues could only be rectified through multple generations, and at halfway between 30 and 40 It's hard to motivate myself to stay and wait to everything get way better when I will be 60.
I either find a motorsport related job in the next 5 years or I move to my childhood dream of Finland, even if this latter means my photography business will close.

My absolute favourite is the gen 1 viper and it's a pretty rare thing in europe, it was sold here from the second half of the 90s and even those are rare and expensive, the early ones are astronomical (cheapest viper i could find on the continent was a 2004 for 35k USD)

>One day Nascar will be just as yuge as it was during pre goatee Jeff Gordon|Dale Sr era I can only hope.
Yeah, I watch it still in hopes that it will get better. I really thing eliminating stage cautions and the playoffs will fix most of what's wrong and exposed whatever is left so it can be fixed too.
>F1
>aren't allowing races in smol stuff of water?
The issue with F1 in the rain is they have ground effect cars currently and the insane negative pressure under the car lifts a ton of water off the track and it creates more or less a smoke screen. It's the same reason NASCAR and IndyCar don't run on ovals in the rain. Rally can get away with it because the cars are typically separated by enough time that it isn't a factor. Now, please, don't make me defend F1 anymore.

I feel the exact same way about Burger Land, but we can't be like the boomers and just sell out the melinials and zoomers. We have to support them while they make it better for their kids and grandkids, etc. I post a lot of USA #1 shit partly because I believe it and partly because I am psy-opping myself to help make it true. I think Bongland and Hungry and Canada and France and Brazil and Argentina and Ireland are all pretty cool, too. It would be boring if we were all the same.
That being said, if you can find a job you are passionate about and can make a living at, you should do that, wherever it takes you.

I'll be frank, anons. I don't know that you'd die in a repeat of that crash if you were in the Next Gen Car, but I do think you'd be in worse shape afterward than these guys were.

I think one of the best recent Watkins Glen races was ARCA 2023 but I don't think there's a free way to watch it in full.

I had a dream the other night that IndyCar released the schedule and they were going to do a race in Norway... an ice race on a frozen lake, just like NASCAR Euro promised a few years ago and never delivered.

Very cool and Shelby pilled. Those are about $50-70 usd here.
For me, it's the early GTS in blue with white stripes. They are about $70-100 usd here.
Similar year Corvettes are mostly under $30k and as low as $15k for a high mileage C5. It's not as cool, but it they are still pretty cool. I think the Viper also inspired the C5 Corvette to be pretty good since the C4 looked pretty sad next to the Viper.

In most ways, the Coyote is the best American engine in production today.

Since he showed up about2 or 3 years ago, he hasn't gone more than two or three days without posting. At least not in the middle of the season.

BTW there was a bunch hangook punctures in wrc2 as well
hope they get their shit together (they wont)

>>150128324
yeah corvettes are way cheaper as well here (they were sold lot longer anyways here)

>>150128335
I actually want to buy an earlier example of ford flex next year and it's a fucking shame it has only the shitty waterpump cucked 3.5V6 and its ecoshart version and not the coyote which definitely fits the engine bay as there are a few swaps around and it's a way better engine

I think we can officially say Friesen's career as a driver is over, yes? Glad it sounds like he's doing better, but I don't see how he gets back in a car, truck, or anything else after this.

>>150133019
Kubica and even fuckin robert wickens got back into vrooms
friesen is 42, he will race again

>>150133048
Kubica is certainly the more encouraging story here. I admit I was overly-pessimistic with my original statement. I'll amend it to say that he is unlikely to be as competitive. Kubica aside, it's hard to come back from really nasty crashes like that and be great. I think there's something to the line in Talladega Nights about seeing the fear.

They didn't even run 550 at any track you could believably be making that argument. Even with all the short track bitching none have been quite as bad as Keselowski leading 446 laps in the spring race at Martinsville immediately followed by Truex leading 464 in the fall.

I really don't like watching golf or bowling, but I think they are pretty fun to do. I also enjoyed being in the slowest 10 cars at basically every autocross I have ever been to. I'd rather vroom like shit than not vroom at all.
Having fun is fun. You should try it sometime.

>>150144442
Yeah, it's way better.

Should be a fun trucks race. Field is loaded

I would recognize every cup driver and almost every xfin driver if I saw in public, I don't think I'd recognize many truckers

Horrendous analogy. If one of you fagaroids had just pointed out that he's in the "manufacturer hires a small child and then pays for everything in five series at once" category of ARCA drivers and not the daddy's special little ride buyer one that makes up the overwhelming majority that would have explained what he's doing there instantly.
