Malcolm is in NASCAR now?

>>150240685
Holy SOVL Batman

>>150241263
For a few years now.
He drives for Reaume Bros Racing, which has a shoestring budget.
But he also totally choked the one time he found himself in a decent position late in the race, so him being the lowest ranked full time driver is a combination of things.

Chudler won the Xfinity race at Richmond last year.

cool it looks like shit

My dad died and I got a bunch of money so I've been thinking about getting working towards a clubman racing licence for some small cc bike racing or just buying a trackday bike for fun.

Latvala confirmed he will contest the full historic erc season next year as well, the toyota management actually want him to compete so he did not need to ran around to get support for it

>>150245071
Not sure how different things are across the pond, but I cannot recommend grassroots club level motorcycle racing enough, it's unreasonably fun, not actually that expensive, and very easy to get into. Go get a bike that fits into a common class, either a Ninja 400, RC390, or SV650. Take a couple of trackdays with instruction to get your feet wet, and go do it.

Check normiebook or any kind of local sales place you guys might have and look for preprepped racebikes, there's no such thing as a turnkey race/track bike, but it'll be close and they're dirt cheap. Some guy in my org was selling a prepped, running SV650 for $1k to any new racer last weekend, good dude.

Im thinking a big BLT sandwich and some baked lays with the truggs race tonight.

He continued by the way

Thanks for the encouragement lads, appreciate it. I'm actually from the UK - just have to use VPN now because of the ridiculous new internet rules we have here - so there's a lot of choice when it comes to racing.

Stafford Speedway has SK modifieds now, followed by another division, then an open modified 80 lapper.

what happened mate? tl;dr?

>>150246116
based

>>150244664
that's why they entered LMDh. Hyundai/Genesis don't have much racing history other than TCR and rally. (the Hyundai Accent WRC car sucked if I recall, the newer Hyundai WRC machines are pretty good) you must understand that manufacturers enter racing to improve their brand image. that's why Cadillac is doing LMDh and F1, the brand is seen as grandpa cars.

Hyundai should make a sports car worthy of GT3 competition as well.

>>150246116
lol

>>150247339
you need to age verify for everything age restricted, bc muh children. In practice that means sites hosting mixed content need to verify you to see anything (like wikipedia or youtube for example)
In theory its about safety, in reality it's another level of government control and spying on users.
For the government handled verification, data is passed to a palantir like us corpo ofc. Basically an easy way to build a more precise and constantly up to date face recognition db for glowies.
The uk is on a roll on clamping down on digital liberty, they forced apple to turn of backup encryption and tried to wrangle signal into giving it up as well
sadly the french got the blood thirst with this and they try to bring it to the eu as well

>>150247594
for more info look up

fuck Stellantis.
>t. this is the second time I've worked at a place that makes parts for Dodge/Ram vehicles and it's fucking stupid
you would never buy a Dodge or Ram if you knew how shitty the build quality is. we could make it better, but that's not what they are paying for. ugh fuck Chrysler.

>>150247423
>Cadillac is doing LMDh and F1, the brand is seen as grandpa cars.

B Gurl Ray Gunn BTFO.

>>150246299
>hotlinks and cold beer

idk if any of you Anons have worked in manufacturing car parts or manufacturing in general but it's fucking bullshit. really nice quality parts take time and care to make. companies like Stellantis/Chrysler want it done fast, not done with quality. if Americans don't make the parts fast enough, they are more than happy to send the job to another country with lower paid workers. salivating at the thought of it, even.

>>150247594
>like wikipedia or youtube for example
Freaking Google searches, too. We have finally surpassed Orwell's worst nightmares.

>>150248746
Cadillac will always be a grandpa car to me. a glorified Buick for rich(er) grandpas.

>>150248808
>idk if any of you Anons have worked in manufacturing car parts or manufacturing in general but it's fucking bullshit.
Can confirm.
We need to rebuild American manufacturing. If (((they))) paid American workers better wages, the workers could afford to buy stuff made in America.
Also, stop diluting the fucking labor market, faggots.
This is how we can make American cars worth buying again.
Boomers can't die fast enough.

>>150248853
Neat. I should have gone to the drag strip tonight.

>tfw make some parts for Stellantis but don't get any of the benefits of being in the UAW
we make other shit too like parts for lawnmowers, snowblowers, construction equipment, radiators, etc. but the metal thingy that holds your spare tire on your Ram truck that you probably never look at unless you blow a tire, yeah I made that. you're welcome.

>>150248928

pick one. Detroit has gone all in on trucks and SUVs. unless you want a Corvette, a Mustang, or an overpriced Caddy, there are no more American cars. they got BTFO by the Toyota Corolla/Camry and the Honda Civic/Accord.

>>150249080
yeah. we all went to the local 5/8 mile asphalt short track a few weeks ago to watch the late models. and it was fun, but I like my IndyCar and sports car racing.

>>150247655

>also
please check the link I left to the turkanon

>>150249335
Stellantis is like, all the shittiest brands from various countries combined into one shitty international conglomerate of shit.

but that said, I still miss the snek.

OK I said in previous threads to be patient but now I am legit worried about SingaporeAnon. where has our friend gone?

>>150249542
Some of us gotta tend to other needs and projects outside of this, ya know.. also could have burnout and taking a break. I wouldn't worry

>>150249041

>>150250094

>>150242851
bring back the snek >>150249445
the only Dodge car of note

>>150250454
The Dodge Stratus is worth a small note in drag racing for requiring the least distortion of a design going from the production body to a pro-stock car.

>>150250529
ok cool but I like cars that turn right and left, not just straight line or only left. and the Viper was a legitimate weapon in that regard. I'd argue it was the best American sports car of that era in the 1990's. back then Ford and GM weren't serious about sports car racing.

>this is the decommissioned airstrip they are talking about moving the Toronto Shindy to
Please just upgrade Mosport to the 21st century already, I am begging you. You can't do dick with this, it's nothing like Cleveland or Edmonton (and this doesn't even show the stadium they built over the north end of the runway which also effectively rules out putting the paddock in the lot up there)

>>150250673
why the fuck do we have to move Indy Toronto because of divegrass bullshit, fuck you Canada

>>150250703
Sir your country is the ones moving Shindy to FS1 for some wack ass girl's soccer tournament post-game don't try to make this a Canada thing. That wholerace that takes weeks of setup and teardown gets less attendance than a single one of those ball kicking matches will.

>>150250730
then upgrade Mosport you cheap fuckers
the real solution is running at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve but it won't happen because reasons

>>150250792
Well maybe if Mark Miles put his super pro dick sucking skills to work in Montreal he could get some corrupt politicians to fund the corrupt promoter to put on a corrupt race for his corrupt series, that is why they hired him after all.

business idea: WRC rally with stages in Ontario, Manitoba, Minnesota, Wisconsin. call it Rally North America.

maybe a quick stage in Quebec to appease the Frenchies.

>>150249335
They said a few years ago they would reenter the top tier if the rules make sense (they werent a fan of the rally1 rules given it is expensive and the 900V hybrid system had zero overlap/road relevance with production hybrid tech)
But the concern started to push the Lancia brand so we might see that not the frenchies

>>150249376
> Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Lancia
All of them has great rallying history, I would love to see any of these badges back in top.level contention

love to see racing on so shit ass quality asphalt, it really feels like home lol
(as a kid I frequently dreamed about how the streets of my town would look like as a rally superspecial and it would look like on an onboard to take it)

>>150248991
Bristol is the closest to me and I missed this year because it was way earlier on the schedule. I was just talking about the local strip. It's pretty kino on a Friday night because it's a test and tune for everyone. Not only do you have the guys that are going to compete later in the weekend, but anyone can make a pass in anything so you can see some pretty neat cars. It'salso only $10.
>>150249050
It would be pretty hard to have a bad time unless you have a hangover or something. It might increase your enjoyment if you watch some races or at a couple of passes so you can understand what's going on. Also, it's not like most other races where the car that crosses the finish line first wins every time. This video can help you understand the scoring.

You really should wear earplugs and ear muffs for that one. Aka double ears.
>>150249178
>I like my IndyCar and sports car racing.
Those are definitely my two favorites, too, but pretty much all motorsports are fun to go see in person.
I have a hard time getting people to go with me sometimes, so if you have an opportunity to build a relationship with a potential future family member it might be worth getting into NHRA at least a little to strengthen that relationship. I bet it wouldn't be that hard to sell him on IndyCar or IMSA, especially if you go to a race together.

I completely agree, and I would add Argentina and Brazil to that list. It's weird that they mostly follow the northern hemisphere racing schedule. I really wish they would run in the northern hemisphere's winter season so we could have year round vrooms. It would help increase their popularity, too, but they literally don't seem to care. Even with SVG's popularity and success in NASCAR, Fox doesn't appear to be at all interested in bringing Supercars to the US, even as late night filler or on a tape delay. That's weird as hell to me.

IDC about the road going models, they literally have a really small effect on the team.

Germs began to limit *some* their cars to a top speed of 155 mph in the 70's to preempt the government from putting speed limits on the Autobahn.
IIRC it's very much a here-and-there thing that's dependent on trim, options, whether the manufacturer feels like adhering to it and stuff, but there were third-party services to delimit cars with limiters as well.

A lot of those short track races are getting linked on acez and they are really quite good. Raceday has fallen victim to that which our fren and savior, spreadsheet anon, has refused to, which is including too much shit.

All the reputation Michelin had built in my mind from dominating endurance sports car racing has been undone by being an absolute garbage spec tire supplier.
>excuse for putting slide control in MotoGP was Kwabnaia's crash at Barcelona in 2023
>crashed then because he got one of the Shitelins that sent Horegay to the moon before the season started and also almost got him t-boned and run over by the entire field today
Not that I wouldn't accept this as an excuse to get rid of the holeshot devices because they make the bikes spin instead of wheelie too.

>>150260850
>Raceday has fallen victim to that which our fren and savior, spreadsheet anon, has refused to, which is including too much shit.
yeah there's some series I wish Spreadsheet Anon would include, like Thailand Super Series, but I appreciate not cluttering up the list with too much shit. and we put raceday in the OP if you want more. so much racism going on everywhere all the time.

>>150260970
IDK about bikes, but they make 11/10 tires for cars. Even if the competition matches every aspect of performance (which they seldom do), the Michelins are quieter.

I appreciate the rider helping tape the bike back together but he should probably be switching to a suit without holes in it desu

>>150261075
it's completely different, might as well be 2 different companies, the only tire company that seems to make good stuff across the board is bridgestone

>>150261132
I like the zebra tire condoms.

>>150261075
It doesn't necessarily actually reflect their mass market stuff at all, but some of the way they have gone about being sole supplier for Hypermeme and Formula E with limiting tires and shit has been annoying too.

>>150261420
Single manufacturer series, which is basically everything outside of Japan, can afford to be a bit lazy. I know the F1 Indy GP is often pointed to as an example of

>>150260970
there is no at least contemporary example for a single suppier tyre being good because the company has the wrong incentive.
In a tyre war they need to build good tyres. If they have an exclusive single supplier contract, their incentive is to make the cheapest shit they can get away with as there is no competition
if there are problems just blame the teams and drivers or lobby for bullshit rules so the teams cant use tyres to their limit

For me, it's histoic Trans-Am racing.

>>150260970
Oh you haven't seen anything yet, just wait until they bring in their tyres that are 100% recycled from used condoms brought to you by Klaus Schwab™ for WEC next year, these fucks have had the world memory holed for decades on how shit their tyres are but from next season the clown will be in full view running down the middle of the track and it will be fucking comical.

Road Atlanta and Atlanta motor speedway are too close together, they'd cannibalize each other's ticket sales. I, as someone who's been there for petit le mans many times, also don't think road atlanta could handle a nascar sized crowd either. There's just not enough parking, there are virtually zero grandstands to speak of (only a few small sets of bleachers on the outside of the pit straight), and the logistics of that many people coming and going from the circuit would be a nightmare. The track itself is located on a highway that's only two lanes. I could easily see both ways being backed up all the way to i985 and i85.

>>150255819
>Then the 307 with it's welded together roof
they say the 307 had "structural rigidity" problems and i think 13-16 m more bars to compensate for this. If someone explains to me what structural rigidity is, i will be grateful and you will receive a very low quality photo of Ove Andersson in the pool

that was a good kubota sprints race, tim managedt to fix his stuff in time
>>150276381
if i remember right they werent prototypes dressed as road cars yet
the "welded" roof is probably related to the fact that they based the wrc on the cc version instead of the vanilla hatchback
aboout the 306, it was the f2 car and they were slowly killing the current ruleset because they couldnt handle a "2nd" tier car being faster than the top series
everything else is speculation unless theres a source for it
i guess thats was just a good excuse to post one of the most beautiful rally cars of all time, at the very least a fav of mine

>>150277085
>the "welded" roof is probably related to the fact that they based the wrc on the cc version instead of the vanilla hatchback
I know the story and how the FIA "forced" Peugeot to weld the roof or how Christian Loriaux (while at Ford) was in charge of balancing the weight and all that but: "structural rigidity" is a concept that I think I understand but I couldn't explain because I'm not an engineer and I'm stupid

how is it any different than cars 30 years ago requiring you purchase arbitrary trim levels to unlock specific engine modes? practically all modern car tuning amounts to plugging a computer into the ECU to change the engine timing which automatically unlocks 20-50 horsepower depending on the car.

>>150276031
>The track itself is located on a highway that's only two lanes.
Same goes for Pocono.
They just put down cones to split the road into three lanes using the shoulders, then have all three lanes running south from I-80 to the track before the race, and north from the track back to the Interstate after the race.

>>150269119
>dady
I don't know this one.
Do you know we are checking?

When will NASCAR step in and handle the Larson question?

>>150276381
structural rigidity is... how rigid is the chassis. More rigidity is better. If the chasses flexes/warps more (when less than 4 wheels touching the road for example) it's not just impacting performance, but can decrease reliability, put more strain on components, etc...
Back then even though most of homologation requirements were abolished in 97, the chassis needed to come from a production model still, so by the rules the 307CC was out of bounds, they would had to use the 3 door hatchback version (they had a proto of that btw) but somehow peugeot was able to convince FIA to let them weld the roof together and enter a coupe body style
>>150277085
Dunno where I read it, but it wasnt some anon rando posting it, but the engineers wanted to use the 306 as a base for the wrc as well because it was an already proven weapon in F2 form and it was more ideal because it was bigger, but marketing people wanted to promote the newly released 206 which was smaller than what was allowed by regulations so again, Peugeot somehow convinced FIA to include the bigger bumper of 206RC in the measurements instead of the bare chassis (SEAT engineers must have had a meltdown seeing this btw)
but the chassis was still smaller than the 306 and yet the engineers had to put even more shit into it (4WD, active suspension elements, etc) and it was a packaging nightmare

As gay as that was, the difference is that once you paid for it, it was yours forever. With all the "always online" shitts it's performance as a service. You never really own and you never stop paying for something you are in physical possession of. It's a shekelbergs wildest dream.

SVG's 14th place finish was pretty good (for him on an oval), but what is his best ever finish on an oval in Cup? I'm getting retarded returns from Brave/Google AI saying last night's 14th was a tie for his best with the Coke 600. Maybe its too many qualifiers because right here on the NASCAR website it says he got 12th at Martinsville last year. Was THAT his best oval finish?

Awesome, thanks. This is something we could quite easily do where I live as we have the same red clay soil. We have many, many dirt ovals, but nothing like this.

Too bad IMSA and IndyCar have literally identical start times on Sunday.
Also, Xfinity and ARCA clash on Friday? Cam the fak on, man.
I am retarded, but even I can figure out:
>Friday
ARCA ~5:00 pm
Trucks ~7:30 pm
>Saturday
WEC/IMSA ~ Xfinity ~>/= 5:00 pm
>Sunday
F1 ~ 10:00 am, for the Euros
Indycar ~2:00 pm
Cup ~4:00-5:00 pm
NHRA~7:00-8:00 pm
Aside from F1 and WEC taking place across vastly different time zones, what is wrong with this general scheduling, beaide fagball sports, that is.

>>150289918
For me, it's NHRA on FS2 right now.

>>150289894
Thank you, I didn’t realize they did arca. Could have saved myself some frustration there.

thats the year of the start of the financial crisis, so no wonder
a bunch of smaller series folded back then bc there was no money anymore to.prop.up them

I went to Target because I needed a new electric water kettle, and I checked the diecast section for any IndyCar stuff... nothing. Then I checked the T Shirt section for any IndyCar stuff... again nothing. They had NASCAR and F1 shirts... but they also had this Hello Kitty racing team shirt. I was going to buy it, but not for $20... Though apparently it's only $14 online. Still a bit much for a t shirt.

>>150279102
thanks for the explanation and the link, if the Mexico rally comes back and you are here you can keep one of my 40 cousins (women), it's a promise
Now I have a derivative question: What exactly do people mean when they talk about "tubular chassis" (tubular chassis era) and what is the difference (I suppose in performance) with what we had before? I know these are a bit silly/ambiguous questions but you already know me

>>150292240
I saw a similar hoodie at Walmart a while back but never got around to posting it. Too bad Target went satanic pedo enabler instead of continuing to sponsor Chip Ganassi.

true, Skoda learned its lesson and did the same with the Fabia WRC

Top Fuel is one of, if not the best class name in all of racing.

heh heh asscar

A sunday without night vrooms feels so empty. Was the ARCA race any good?

>>150291553
Europe should've had more oval tracks before. There was a point that the calendar was made only by races on Rockingham Speedway (the British one). This and the lack of spectators and sponsors made the series be defunct after some years.

>>150292831
It was on a 1 mile horse racing dirt track, so it was weird, but not bad , had a few wrecks

>>150292831
It was pretty decent, but Crews just dominated the whole thing, but there were some good battles in the top 10 and the track is ultra kino, so that was fun. It's one of the oldest race tracks in America, hosting automobile races since 1910. I wish Trucks, Xfinity and Cup would run there, but they don't have pussy pads on the walls, so there's no chance of that happening.
Sprint cars would be a blood bath.

>>150293143
thanks bro

>>150292388
tubular chassis is what we have now in rally1 and what group b was after a point. when the chassis is basically a frame welded together from tubes (in this case basically rollcage = chassis) and the outer shell is just hanged to it but have no real stress holding part. So the car only resembles the road car from the looks of it, but the actual chassis is completely custom made.
Rally2 will be also tube frame based in a couple of years
Dunno if you know it, but there is this great blog https://www.wrcwings.tech/

>>150293298
They ran winged sprint cars at Syracuse for decades. I'm not going to call it a great idea but it's fine, Bristol is faster than a horse track.

>as usual to oil countries, there wont be any running on sunday
Why is that? Their weekends are Friday and Saturday.

I really want the Dinger to win at Daytona Saturday. He's the only driver not in the top 16 right now that I wish was

>>150292748
AA/TF

If NASCAR wants to reset points for the final ten races, whatever. Let them do it. But don't do it for 16 drivers. If you look at the standings, there's only 5 or 6 drivers that are worthy of the NASCAR cup.
Byron leads in points. Elliot has the best average finish. Hamlin has the most wins. (I'd include SVG if he had 1 oval win). When Larson isn't finishing in last, he's probably the best driver on the track. Bell has 3 wins and is right behind Elliott in average finish. Somehow Blaney is fifth in points so throw him in too.
Elliot, Larson, Bell, Byron, Hamlin, Blaney. Reset those 6 and let them fight it out for the final ten races. We don't need 16 drivers

>>150296306
just make it the top 10 in points if you wanna go that route, hell make it top 8 and a wild card for the most wins outside of the top 10 if you really need a meme driver gimmick, that's still a quarter of the field

Should average finish be used to decide the winner of a racing series? Average finish and points almost always correlate with each other.
And if that's the case, NASCAR has only had the correct champion a handful of times in the past 20 years

It makes sense for engineers to look for a single structure and it seems to best fit the concept of structural rigidity (I think)
>Dunno if you know it, but there is this great blog
new to me, great

>>150296555
Personally, I remain a fan of the most-wins approach, with average finish as a tiebreaker. I hate the idea of guys who can't close the deal still becoming champions because they second and thirded the field to death, the way Matt Kenseth did all those years ago. Winning should be all-important, because its all that matters to me, and all that should matter in any sport.

But I don't think there's no value in demonstrating consistency, which is why I like that as the tie-breaking metric. Because if you've got two guys neck-and-neck for the championship in a year, and one is checkers or wreckers every week and the other is always right there at the end even if he isn't bringing it home every week, you can draw two conclusions. Maybe Crashy is putting more into trying to win. But maybe he's going beyond his talent, and Mr. Consistency is demonstrating the greater driving prowess. I reckon the latter is more often true.

But that assumes you want your championship to be a true measure of team quality, and not a tool to drive audience investment. If what you want is eyes on your series the whole way through, you really can't beat the meme chaseoffs. It's never settled til the end of the season, so while some folks will tune out because their favorite has been knocked out of contention, plenty will stick around just to find out who wins it this year. It also succeeds at manufacturing drama, as Ross and Autism have demonstrated in recent years.

I've been to Milwaukee once

>>150288570
Eldora would be a better pick.

>>150293002
you can't top-down create a fanbase, that's the mistake these upstart sanctioning bodies keep making. you need an established fanbase that you can then unify. NASCAR didn't come from nothing, it was the unification of about a dozen different tracks and promoters coming together and agreeing to make a single ruleset and calendar so they could build off each other.

>>150293002
The whole point was that Rockingham was there and stock cars are cheap so they should hold some races for them. The track got sold and the new owners decided they didn't give a fuck so there wasn't much point in having ASA late models on road courses when Britain has 9000 other series already.

>>150289502
for when someone bakes, no rush though

>>150297432
Rockingham wasn't that good for stock cars anyway. low banked superspeedways never are, see: Chicagoland and Kansas. those are much better for indycars, which is indeed what Rockingham (and Lausitz in Germany) were originally built for. I'd say you need at least 20° of banking for good stock car action. Short tracks being a different beast.

>>150297388
looking into it, England is roughly the same size as North Carolina, and NC has 30+ paved and dirt oval tracks ranging in size from ⅛ mile quarter midget tracks all the way up to Charlotte. England has maybe 5.
