Herta is mid

You guys should check out the Naito Auto documentary, One of One.

You forgot supercross playoffs are on Saturday my nigga

Never forget what they took from you.

Palou genuinely seems like a very nice guy
Are all Spaniards like that? I knew two others at a previous job, and they were nice guys too.

>>150546397
Latinos in general have a weird relationship with death. I think the coolest ones are the ones that realize it, and they're pretty down to Earth.

>>150546397
Even if Palou winning so much is a little boring at least hes not some disingenuous cunt like Lewis Hamilton was during his run.

Lancia Delta Rally2 testing

On that topic of nascar or indy at Zandvoort it makes me think of how i think nascar should capitalize on SVG and run a race at one of the supercars tracks.

>>150535499
I love my scanner, I sprung for a high Uniden SDS100 because I really liked the desktop version that I already had. For me its difficult because I tend to just turn it to Conor's freq and leave it there. I do wish that Indycar would provide the tone in on the spotter guide for primary and back up freqs. Its hard to spectate a race without one, epsecially on a road course.

>>150547943
based posts

pretty much beyond me why indycar would want to go to zandvoort
if they want an overtakeless slurper they could capitalize on palou and go to catalunya or capitalize on the angloshpere and go to the uk
At silverstone or brands it would be a pretty fun race possibly

Btw neither cyril nor latvala was in paraguay
I cant remember from the last 5-6 years if this happaned ever, that ⅔ of the teambosses were missing

>>150547705
Tell me its not a gay EV like their fail rallycross attempt

Hocevar bought another car.

>>150548266
1. you might be deaf but this definitely BRAAAAPS
2. ev's are not allowed in rally2 (actually nothing else than petrol 1.6T allowed as propulsion)
3. It is the worst kept secret that stellantis wants to replace the C3 Rally2 with thr new delta

lancia did not attempt wrx, if you are thinking about those fake integrales, that was a different company without any ties to lancia . They just tried to ride the popularity of the old delta similar to other ev shitters pumping out suspiciously similar designs to legendary cars

in the current edition of nothing ever happens, there is rain forecast for Next week in Concepción just to stop at thursday and the rally days wil.be dry

also for the argentinian anon asking about The Crew 1 resurrection
https://thecrewunlimited.com/home/

Indy news dropping (allegedly) any minute now.

>>150547705
What about Subaru?

>>150549131
No Power at Penske next year

>>150547659
TBDesu most championship winning F1 drivers are dicks. Alanso (Spaniard) is the only one I can think of who isn't.
>>150547943
>Uniden SDS100
How does that work. I can program my radio with channels and scan them, but it only stops when they are transmitting. I can monitor two chanels at once, but since the TV channel is always open, it basically preempts everything else. Ultimately, it's 100% worth it to have the broadcast team the entire time, but I don't get team messages no matter who I set the second channel to.
>Its hard to spectate a race without one, epsecially on a road course.
I went years and years without one and it was the best investment I ever made for spectating. I can now listen to IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA (if they have a track radio) and it amazing. It's also great for newfrens so they don't get confused and bored.

>>150549826
supposedly they dont even have money for a proper global rally2 program

>>150550026
This is retarded man. Will is still a championship caliber driver if penske didn't absolutely shit the bed this year

>>150549796
Rinus must have something lined up but I have no idea where it could be. RLL?

>>150550096
Oh yeah I guess the 4 at foyt is open with malukas to penske as well. And the herta to f2 rumors that's another seat open

>>150550084
Yeah, I don't see how whatever Malukas is bringing is comparable to Power. Maybe it's just money.

>>150550223
Power is going to WEC it seems, all is left to know if roger is giving his seat to Nasr since malukas and santucci had issues.

wasnt the genesis lmdh supposed to be v8turbo?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOEMrJqjXlp/?igsh=MTh4cWJjMzhqb21uZg==

>>150550426
Aka will wanted a multi year deal and penske probably only offered 1

Foster was based for making Re*it seethe

>>150550223
>money
Penske doesn't use pay drivers, if a driver goes to Penske it's on merit

i'm sad bros
>>150551720
we don't know if verizon is coming back, if it doesn't then that's a massive gap to fill even for penske

I hate wec and imsa for making the coolest cars ever and cucking them by making them for resistance only

>>150551944
i'm hoping will has something lined up since it sounds like he was given an offer and declined. it won't feel right though, especially if i have to root for andretti

New chasis for 2028??? Fuuck thats too long

>>150548164
Because they are hopeful the Dutch are fucking stupid enough to give them half the money they've been blowing on F1 to fly them there for their Verstappen at home that won 4 years ago and currently does not have an announced team for next year.

>>150552044
>resistance only
You mean endurance?
IMSA has some GTP sprint races too (mostly street courses).

>rookies were 23rd, 24th, and 27th in points
Even in a series where a rookie hasn't been higher than 14th since 2019 that is impressively shit.

>>150552439
Meanwhile, 2024's ROY that finished 16th doesn't have a seat.

>>150552218
Surely rinus has something if he turned down a contract from coyne

Rahal is in this annoying stage of his career where he should obviously fucking retire but he has like one good race out of ten to talk himself into believing he can keep going.

>>150552545
hilarious that he single handedly cucked juri vips indycar career

>>150552338
Wtf i promise i search this and it wasnt like that, fuck yeah ill watch imsa now blessed bro

>>150552684
Brace yourself, there's some kino action in those sprint races, but they are also under Yellow half of the time.

>>150552505
we've seen drivers thinking they have something then falling between two seats

>>150549796
Man, I love Grosjean, but there have been a lot less wrecks since he and leg departed.

>>150550266
Sports car bros better brace themselves.

>>150550426
>>150550815
Honestly, they haven't been very good to him including and perhaps especially getting him penalized for two technical infractions (cheating scandles) in the last two seasons, plus, the Penske cars have been shitboxes all year long except last weekend. I'd really like him to stay in IndyCar andbhe certainly can if he wants to. They should have given him what he wants and I hope he ends up winning a championship with another team. That would be the most kino thing ever.

>>150552505
Not if that Coyne contract involved bringing money he doesn't have.

>>150551237
The funny part is he got it after crashing Malukas while battling for absolutely no reason. What a shitter, kek.

>>150552057
I don't mind Andretti. I like Herta and Kirkwood well enough, I just don't think Power deserves Andretti spaghetti strategetti.

>>150548471
Im jelly, what a beautiful machine

>>150548164
>>150552218
It's only Fag1 that has problems overtaking there and that isn't any different from any other track they drive on. GT races there are insanely kino.
>Zandvoort bad
Is literally F1 retard group think.

>>150552684
They can be pretty kino, but IMSA's caution procedure make it look like a dirt track race.

>>150553161
>Is literally F1 retard group think.
This. Indy on Zandvoort would be an instant classic imo

>>150549796
>Tony Donohue
Did ANY rumor this guy threw around for the past years ever turned out to be true?
I feel like you could get more accurate speculations by simply having the average Indycar viewer take a guess.

inb4 malukas ends up being tarso marques 2.0
>>150553318
nope, he's just a repeater antenna of rumors

>>150547705
Calling HF Integrale already is kinda cringo imo
But I think it's worth mentioning the 2027 WRC cars are essentially tube frame cars with full Rally2 drivelines and axles, and Stellantis is suddenly in a position to launch another Lancia WRC programme almost out of nowhere (unless they choose a different brand for that)

>>150553211
>>150553161
zandvoort is a classic but penskecar will be a procession as well there lol
You can overtake on that track when the difference between the cars are bigger than any of the top open wheel classes. GT and TC are completely different matters, there the speeds are lower, differences in cars and talent are higher.
If you try to argue that indyshart has not produced slurpers on road courses you are a delusional fag

>>150553531
for our luck stellantis' reputation is in the shitter so they will more keen to launch new motorsport programs to promote their brands.
Hopefully this will be also the case with VW, even though they are thinking that they were too slow with electrification and thats their problem so I dont expect ICE based program from them

>>150553318
https://racer.com/2025/09/02/veekay-departs-dale-coyne-racing
Confirmed by pruett that veekay turned down an offer from coyne. Says he is going to foyt to replace malukas

>>150553807
Also in that article
>Power’s confirmation with Andretti, which was originally anticipated for today (Tuesday), is said to be scheduled for Wednesday. The timeline for confirming Malukas's move to Penske is unknown.

>>150553785
VW already has the whole package ready to go, as long as you don't mind everyone on the team speaking czech. And Skoda will stop making subcompacts in '27, another reason to move to WRC with a silhouette formula.

>>150554017
Forgot to add: VW will not return to WRC for many reasons, and having Skoda already halfway there is just another one.

>>150553807
I know, it's the part where Grosjean and Hauger "have been rumored" as candidates for Coyne that sounds like pure speculation on his part.
Dude just takes guesses and try to pass them as insiders rumors.
Somehow, he still ends up being wrong 100% of the times, see what he claimed about Arby’s, Hy-Vee, Arrow, Brady, JJ and Bourdais, Watkins Glen etc.

>>150554164
these newgarden retirement rumors came out of nowhere but i've seen it a lot the past few days

What is this photographic effect called? Burst?

>>150554264
it's just that everyone realized that the next contract to expire is his, and since they had no qualms about getting rid of power it's safe to assume newgarden's seat is anything but secure, but again pure speculation

>>150554017
>>150554103
Rally2 is going to be silhuette as well bc not just skoda but apart from toyota no one else will produce subcompact in the near future. Ofc if the current Rally 1 and 2 does not merge anyways (yeah Im still baffled by the equal engine power shit given the difference is just the size of the restrictor. Yeah I know stronger car needs stronger transmission and shit. Even though the 2 have very similar engine Rally1s are tremendously more spectacular than rally2s in sound and speed)

>>150554306
>>150554344
>>150554364
Really nice

>>150554344
Panning shot. In hungary we also call it "svenk"

>>150554718
IIRC FIA said that the long term intention for rally2 is silhouette.
Also one of the reasoning (besides the spec dying out if nothing happens) that people are still dying in national level rallies in R5/Rally2s from time to time, and this way it could integrate the safety cell FIA is developed back then for Rally1

>>150553756
I really think it would work well. If last weekends race at Nashville showed us anything, it's that high banks=high kino.
>indyshart has not produced slurpers on road courses
Yeah, sometimes some races just don't come off well. Skip Barber last year was a snooze fest and it's usually pretty good. The 2023 Cup race at the Glen is another example. 2022 was kino and 2024 and 2025 were both good. Even the Nashville street circuit was getting better every year as the teams and organizers gathered data and figured out how to make it work. The only issue I see for Zandvoort is that there is no data for the tiers or teams, so the first race might be a bit bland, but if they sign a multi year contract it will definitely be kino.

>>150554846
>>150554164
Am i crazy to think McLaughlin would be a better chance to get the boot over Newgarden? Newgarden had a shit year but he had a bunch of bad luck in races he had things going well, but Scott had a bunch of wrecks that were all him. He has another bad year then why pick him over Josef?

Still can't believe they let Will Power walk, he could've won last weekend too if his shit didn't stall

>>150555595
He is approximately 900 years old

>>150555595
Yeah, but that might have been on him. He had it in second gear. Maybe it was a mechanical, but maybe not. Still, they should have given him what he wanted. I'd blame most of his issues this year on the Penske organization anyway. I can't believe David Land said this performance at the Indy 500 this year had an effect on his contract negotiations. He stared dead fucking LAST in 33rd because the Penske organization gave him an out of spec car and he made it up to 12th ahead of Newgarden in 22nd and Snotty KWAB Mclaughlin in 30th.
I appreciate David as a self made success, but fuck he says some retarded shit sometimes.

>>150555694
He's the same age as Alanso and Dixon.

snooty has been a company man through and through, josef as well but it has taken a bigger toll on him, will he want to continue like this?
>>150555846
>but that might have been on him
it was all on him, he was kicking himself on the radio over it
>I can't believe David Land said this performance at the Indy 500 this year had an effect on his contract negotiations
tbf ever since they put the fishbowl in the cars he hasn't been stellar, in fact his last oval win was pocono back in 2019, but yeah narrowing it down to just this year was short sighted

roger do something

>>150555866
Penske wouldn't keep 45 year old one win a season Scotty Dicks either. Helio was 42 and 4th in points when he got turfed.

>>150542915 (OP)
I just saw the drone

>>150560921
unfortunately it's too short of a notice to arrange things adequately.

>>150562358
I see nothing wrong here

>Located north of Toronto, the 12-turn, 2.19-mile Ontario Honda Dealers Indy street course in Markham Centre isn’t a temporary solution while the World Cup takes over Exhibition Place; Markham is the new destination for IndyCar’s visit to Canada, which comes as part of a multi-year deal done between the parties and is set to debut next year across Aug. 14-16.
Exhibition Place was becoming more of a joke year after year but what the fuck is wrong with everyone involved in this

>“The temporary track will be built in the eastern precinct of Markham’s downtown, between Kennedy Road, Enterprise Boulevard, Unionville GO tracks and Highway 407. Renowned track designer Tony Cotman of NZR Consulting has led the design process of the temporary circuit which features a 12-turn, 3.52-kilometer (2.19-mile) layout including a double-sided pit lane, thrilling straightaways and technically challenging sectors.
Stop doing retarded pit lanes you retards

Their description of where they're building the track outright doesn't make sense but regardless I'm sure the people living in houses 300' from a street race will be super fucking happy.

Jesus

Guess we'll see if the entire last sector is 25' wide or they're rebuilding all of it.

>>150562848
Someone will need to ask the owner of that BMW dealership if being in the background of a race was worth the week of restricted access.

>>150562848
8 through 10 looks so narrow in street view, that has to be rebuilt there's no way they'll keep it like that.

>>150562945

Malukas > Penske
Veekay > Foyt
Hauger > Coyne

>>150563537
The guy is an Indycar shitter and has achieved nothing, the fact he got an f1 test role shows the shit state f1 is in and how desperate they are for hyperinflating dollars to keep it going.

Real glad people tuned in for the Anal Stretch

>>150563612
Andretti team just posted a "Drummer wanted" post, and Nashville's post race highlights were Power playing the drums, so it's basically confirmed.

Does it really suggest a lot of faith in your F1 aspirations when your team hires a 44 year old guy as your IndyCar replacement?

>>150563648
>run oval without conflict with NASCAR

>>150563711
It was a banger.

>>150563753
Shid, IndyCar was solidly stuck in the 7 million zone most of this season. Either way, if NASCAR and IndyCar could stop slap fighting and just schedule for one to lead into the other, they would both see viewership increase. The only thing I can think is that NASCAR doesn't want to cut into their prerace bullshit, but come one, it's worth it.

>power approached towriss the weekend of road america to ask for a ride at andretti
They played us like a damn fiddle

Fox investment already paying HUGE dividends it seems

>>150564776
It's honestly pretty fucking cringe, but they are just gaming the FIA system. It will be pretty funny if he gets his points and exposes how under valued the IndyCar series is in the Super Slurper license system.

>>150565277
It's all smoke and mirrors. Contracts say you can't talk about stuff, but the quite part is (publicly.) Not negotiating alternative deals would be insane, especially for someone like Power.

>>150565346
Not even a championship decider. Nice.

>>150564303
Why Markham? I get having to move out of Exhibition due to the World Cup and the renovations happening there (which sucks), but Vaughan or Mospar would have been 100% a better choice.

Markham does have many Asian qts though, so this is the race for you if you have yellow fever (unless Vancouver comes back)

>>150565346
It's 100% the college football promos on saturday. Imagine if they did a fall race on a Friday and promoted the shit out of it to all the football fans. Am I crazy or would this do better numbers than the regular 700k in the summer

>>150566083
apparently penske gave him permission

>>150566290
yeah FOX needs to get them out of the mindset of fearing football and think about how they can use it to their advantage

>>150566028
If he REALLY wanted to expose the system, he'd jump in an F3 car and skip F2 all together, like Max, or Lance, for that matters.

Unsure of this but it can't be worse than detroit

>>150569556
But the Detroit race was pretty good this year.

>>150569556
Detroit isn't even the worst IndyCar street course of the last 3 years.

>>150570658

Knowing how kosher those yuros are I doubt it
I ain't waking up in the morning to watch F1, let alone F2. I'll catch replays if Grug does something cool

YOUZA DORK

>>150569787
It was good for reasons that are atypical. Every turn is in first gear, except onto the straight. This helps passing and makes the race more competitive, but it lacks the raw spectacle of high speed turning. Detroit gets a pass because it's unique, but if every street track was like that it would suck
>>150569832
I guess I disliked nashville street more

I'm legitimately happy Will Power got onto another team right away and if he was to pull off some upsets next year it would be kino

>>150570682
> I don't know shit about broadcasting landscape but F1 is bad: The Post
FOM gives away broadcasting rights in a country to the highest bidder they rarely care about gatekeeping or similar.
keep seething burgertard, F1 and F2 is on free television in the bigger part of the globe (meanwhile indycar is hidden behind payway here lol)

>>150569355
BTW prevot said supposedly (someone mentions "his book" but I havent seen a book by prevot after an hour of googling) that Novikov was fast in pure speed but had dogshit pacenotes and didnt really trusted what the codriver was saying, this is why he crashed a lot and slowly fallen out of the scene

>>150571395
>I'm legitimately happy Will Power got onto another team right away
I don't think his competing in the 2026 IndyCar season with a top team was ever really in question, but it's certainly good to have it officially announced.
>if he was to pull off some upsets next year it would be kino
I think his winning at least one race next year is a definite possibility. The strength of Honda might just be enough to offset Andretti spaghetti, presuming Chevrolet doesn't make some huge advancements with their engine in the off season.

To pretend they aren't saving fuel the entire race because stages just slightly too long to go full throttle.

Anyone else keep forgetting Veekay is Dutch and not Indian? He picked such a saar name to use. And even his haircut+beard are the way westernized Indians do theirs

>>150574008
I think he or Ilka said Novikov didn't hear the notes, but that he had incredible talent. Prevot must have a lot of stories; he worked with some of the most talented drivers s of the time, and he himself is one of the best co-drivers of his generation. According to Borja Rosada (who admires him) he's a great person
Perhaps we should read his book in French?

>>150578548
What do Ford actually still "Race" in anymore?

besides Novikov, I only remember one other driver who had a similar problem with the pacenotes: Xavi Pons, who said he was bothered by someone talking while he was driving. He said he should have worked on the pacenotes a lot more before joining the WRC. I think he started rallying in 2001 and by 2006 he was already with Citroën

So... there wasn't any earth shattering IndyCar news today?

>>150580447
There is nothing left of interest besides a schedule and they will shit that out on a busy Friday afternoon when it turns out it's missing Mexico or whatever.

>>150580489
Still need to find out where Veekay is going

>>150549998
>How does that work. I can program my radio with channels and scan them, but it only stops when they are transmitting. I can monitor two chanels at once, but since the TV channel is always open, it basically preempts everything else. Ultimately, it's 100% worth it to have the broadcast team the entire time, but I don't get team messages no matter who I set the second channel to.
The SDS100 allows you to stop and hold on a specific frequency, essentially acting as a receiver. It has all the typical features of a scanner, like scan and hold.
>I went years and years without one and it was the best investment I ever made for spectating. I can now listen to IndyCar, NASCAR and IMSA (if they have a track radio) and it amazing. It's also great for newfrens so they don't get confused and bored.
If you have a favorite driver, its the best thing ever. You know what's going on in the car, and why certain things are happening. If you're a race fan, you really do need a scanner. If you think you don't, its because you don't know.

And one more I can't figure out.
Plus the Puma in WRC and they are soon to be in F1 and WEC.

>>150580843
>like scan and hold.
My Beofeng will scan and hold for a few seconds and you can hit a button to cancel the scanning if you like what you hear. I was wondering if your rig could monitor multiple frequencies and jump to whatever is active. Tone codes would probably be helpful for that. My radio can scan for them, but it's too much hassle to do it at the track.
>If you have a favorite driver
My problem is that at IndyCar and NASCAR I'm listening to the race on the HAM frequencies. At IMSA races, I have an additional FM radio plugged into an auxiliary jack. I went a bit nuts and bought two so I can also talk to my freind and we can find each other super easily. People also think we are working the race and I even got accused of spotting for Corvette at the Ford hospitality suite, kek.
> If you're a race fan, you really do need a scanner. If you think you don't, it's because you don't know.
Truth bomb. You don't even need a nice one. Those radios are like $30 and the cheaper headset was $90. There is one on Amazon for as low as $40. It's 300% worth it to just get an FM radio, ear buds and ear muffs if the track has an FM transmitter. Road Atlanta, VIR and Road America all do.

>>150565346
The numbers are only up by that much because last year's final ran against an NFL game.

what might sideways india means or tries to imply that ford doesnt really have any in house racecar development or team.
- The Gt3 is multimatic,
- the Rally1-2-3-4 cars and the rally raid raptor is done by MSport,
- the LMDh will be also pretty questionable hwo much is it in house (possibly zero),
- F1 is badge engineered red bull powertrains
- Dupercunts IDK
- Btcc is not a factory effort
- Nascar IDK
- Tranny Am also not a factory effort
Ford is racing in a lot of places but only in disguise lol
Pretty underwhelming that even Hyundai or Skoda has more in house racecar development- not mentioning toyota

https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-016159

Linked above is my scanner. Its first and foremost a scanner, and that's where its best at. So all radios have a scan function, but dedicated scanners are able to cycle through frequencies at a much higher rate, and most have multiple modes they function in. Ham Radio HT's function in the same way, they tune to a frequency, listen for some kind of modulated signal for a preset time, then move to the next freq if there isn't one. As far a listening to multiple frequencies, there's only one handheld that I'm aware of that has dual receive.

https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=71-004498

But again, you're only limited to two, because that's how many receivers it has.
>Tone codes would probably be helpful for that. My radio can scan for them, but it's too much hassle to do it at the track.
Yes, the jackhammer-truck noise is annoying. They do change them after the spotter guide is published, and its a struggle for my scanner to cycle through all the subaudible tone possibilities before the transmission ends. It also doesn't automatically save them once they're found.
>My problem is that at IndyCar and NASCAR I'm listening to the race on the HAM frequencies. At IMSA races, I have an additional FM radio plugged into an auxiliary jack.

That's fucking hilarious, I hope it was all in good humor. My next purchase aside from new lawn/camp chairs will be headsets with boom mics that accept the 3.5mm jack so I can talk to my gf dyring the race. 1/2

>>150583927
>At IMSA races, I have an additional FM radio plugged into an auxiliary jack. I went a bit nuts and bought two so I can also talk to my freind and we can find each other super easily.
... and currently I have my SDS100 plugged into my active hearing protection ear muffs, they function, but they're meant for shooting, so the mics aren't tuned to filter out crowd and engine noise very well. They play scanner audio just fine.
> If you're a race fan, you really do need a scanner. If you think you don't, it's because you don't know.
>Truth bomb. You don't even need a nice one. Those radios are like $30 and the cheaper headset was $90. There is one on Amazon for as low as $40. It's 300% worth it to just get an FM radio, ear buds and ear muffs if the track has an FM transmitter. Road Atlanta, VIR and Road America all do.
I have a particular brand of autism that drives me to get the best thing I can afford, and 2 years ago that was the SDS100. Almost any handheld FM reciever is better than nothing, you'll get the race broadcast and not be totally in the dark. Ham HT's will function well enough, the freqs in Indycar are mandated to be analog and unencrypted, but if they ever update radio protocols then you'll be shit out of luck with the cheaper ones. Then again, if they use a digital protocol that your exoensive handheld doesn't support, you'll be shit out of luck then, too. They do a serviceable job as scanners, but will be beat in that regard by any of the Uniden's, and I think they're the only ones making handheld scanners, though they're certainly the best.

If you're questioning why you need one when you have a smartphone, you haven't considered that you won't be able to get the in car audio at the track when the cell tower is overloaded with 25k more user then it was designed to handle. That's where having something independent of internet and cellular infrastructure comes in.

So the concept of "hey what if we saw who goes the fastest with their track day car" was a sound start for Time Attack but the 10 classes that nobody could describe the difference between without quoting the rulebook directly and general demonstration of nothing mattering but power and downforce past a certain point that it has become is uhhhhhhh, not amazing let's say.

The Beofengs don't pick up FM well at the far end of the track at Road Atlanta (Turn 5, 6, 7, 8) but the el cheapo Walmart AM/FM tuners do. I really haven't found anything better that isn't also much bigger. They are also FM OR HF so I lose my scan/talk function.

Understandable. Even though it's just a 1/8 mile, they shut down on a lot of tracks isn't long enough to handle really fast cars. They are meant to accelerate quickly, not stop.

>>150599073

>>150600872

One of my fondest childhood memories was attending the CART Series in Mexico City in 2002 or 2003. I live quite far away now, and to be honest, I'm not that keen on IndyCar, although it would be great to return after so long. On the other hand, I would do my best to attend the WRC if it ever returns, and I would have a very similar reaction to Uta Abe in Paris (2024) if I could see Carlos Sainz, Marcus Grönholm, Tommi Mäkinen, Juha Kankkunen and many others

there is no going back now. Colton Herta has cast the die. crossed the Rubicon.
all future /indy/ threads will be infested by /f1/ scum. it started when Fernando Alonso attempted the 500, and it has only gotten worse every season since then. the days of comfy /indy/car threads are over.

I know that one Anon likes to talk about new frens and all that but no. everything is ruined. once the normies got interested in Formula 1, and IndyCar was involved in the F1 circus, it was all over.

at least we still have sports car racing.

where the hell is SingaporeBro?

I think they just wanted it. I doubt there's a Mona Lisa sized black market for a Greg Moore helmet

>>150617686

EstoniaBro, we are starving for a proper WRC rally here in America. not rallycross. stage rally. we have plenty of terrain to choose from.

>>150618437
you have the ARA though, but how localized is that, ive never looked into it

>>150618450
ARA ignores the midwest

>almost a 34km stage
fucking hell this one is taking a while
>>150618468
why though

>>150618482
because we are "flyover country". east coast and west coast people think they rule the nation.
