I miss this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe.

Any strims?

this looks very empty
motorsport is ded in burgerland

>>150657629
WEC fucked up. They scheduled this race at the exact same time as the opening weekend of the NFL.

good evening, frens
>GIGA KUBICA status?

ETA until Eduardo's first passive-aggressive quip at the drivers?

>>150657629
Track will be full for F1 next month

>>150657629
WEC doesn't care if people actually attend their races. If they did, they wouldn't be at COTA.

Was that Pagenaud waving the flag?

>>150657629
lol just look at the weather

COTA is a very unsatisfying track, like waiting for a sneeze that never comes

poojoo surge in the wet incoming

both of them get rainwater inside somehow but the 7 is more severe

no idea bout this race but forza ferrari as always.

turn one will be a masacre

How long will they be under safetycar. The only working stream i found is in french so i cant hear any race control stuff

>>150657820
hate driving it in vidya
flow is shit outside of sector 1, and it's so fucking wide im just guessing (wrong) where the turn-in is because I can never see the fucking apex

Gay sport.
Unless if they extend the race like they did on Monza last year this will be a slurper

>>150658012
nothing yet

We're fucked

toyoda is WET
she ready

>>150658012
No mention of when it goes green. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see a red flag

>>150658042
it's going to be real fun to drive with a foggy windshield

>>150658029
>>150658071
Okay, ill just close this stream and prepare for nascar and follow along here for the time being.

I dunno anon, but that kinda sounds like a skill issue. Got my first win in LMU in a Mustang at COTA and I’ve got a soft spot for it now

brb jerk off to Gravure Idol

This is going to be red flagged

>>150657287
The only thing I have working is acez and it's shit.

>forecast
>rain and later even more rain

>>150658112
Oh huh, i thought that place died. Or maybe my old bookmark for it was outdated cause i was getting a dead link.

>more rain
start now or its over

RIP

The Radar looks insane, it’s not happening

>>150658122
>skill issue
never said otherwise
but at least when i put it in the wall at spa or imola i know it's because the track is biting me in the ass, not because i got lost trying to find corner entry

Pretty sad bros. Been looking forward to another WEC race :(

>>150658156
il_tinca on twitch is good, English comms with some Italian muttering if you can put up with it

The only time this horrible track can be fun is with rain, and the faggots won't let them race in the rain.

Women reporter boooooo

I want a KFC but i realize now its 2am

You might want to kys right now.

Imagine building a racing track around Tornado line

OK, shit, fuck. Hell. I sent the text. It made me tear up to do it, but it's done. I don't expect a reply, but it's done.

>>150658030

Looks like a fucking quasar, radar is completely saturated.

>>150658122
Its the track limits that get me, I hate this modern track thing of putting 5 meters of runoff on both sides of the track and it causes endless anger and confusion like that time Verstappen lost the podium to Kimi

>>150657577
Entering this URL in text format will get you auto banned.
It's also not very stable, but it's the best I have.

requesting screenshot of the cow drawing in the Aston Martin garage

Is it possible to race on night in this track ?

>>150658314
Im actually mad at myself, i skipped getting tickets to the cup race cause summer was so miserable i thought it would've been awful. But the weather there this weekend is wonderful.

6 or 7 laps

>>150658361

Well it’s not there for racing, it’s a get out of jail free card for mistakes and accidents, they should at least make it super abrasive to destroy tires like Paul Ricard so drivers don’t use it to get away with aggressive moves

>>150657629
Uh, it absolutely pouring rain and they scheduled Fag1 for next month.

What’s the minimum length for the race, could they at least get 2 hours in about 4 hours time when the rain MIGHT be done

It's the worst road course in our country.
I'm personally very sorry and ashamed.

>>150658350
Keep us updated, anon

>>150658569
their chats are always good, there is the one where they talk about the L322 for example

We're ultra fucked

>>150657953
Based rare flag. Are you deployed US military?

>>150658442
they have lights for it and used to have the race go to like 9pm but the neighbors didn't like the noise

>>150658643
bring some damn indians and make them dance this shit away

>>150658442
yes

>>150658012
Bro, up your game.
https://radiolemans.co

>>150658603
it's a containment track for FIA series so they don't ruin our actual good tracks like Road America, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, etc. with paved runoff bullshit

>>150658507

Yeah, paying customers means more to F1 than WEC anyway, FIA would pay for the whole thing out of pocket if they had to, WEC is one of the championships that just is and will happen regardless due to kind of being a flagship for motorsport as a whole because F1 kind of stands apart separately really.

>>150658569
>>150658615
I started watching it but turned off for the race. Seemed a good chat, find myself agreeing with the idea peak car was around 2013-2015.

>>150658690
They did it in Malaysia for MotoGP

I hate FIA so much it's unreal

>>150658809

Pretty good Fuji or even Silverstone is the same as this lmao. FIA love to have races at the worst time possible

>>150658728
uh oh bro

>>150658603
There's plenty kino tracks in America to make up for it at least, hopefully nobody wants to build loads of Buc-ee's over them all in the near future

>>150658870

Good chance*

(Bad)

I like COTA

>>150658881

WEC could run at Road America easily. Wouk be very based.

>>150658952
fuck off we're full

>>150658608
I will, but I'm desperately scared there won't be anything to report.

>>150658952
I liked the IMSA race this year where all the GT3 dentists broke their chains and started running each other off the road every corner

>>150658998

Ok they can come to Donington instead :^) plenty of proper runoff and drainage there

>>150658952
I watched IMSA there but they ruined it with their yellow flag procedure faggottry. Literally half the race was yellow because they kept crashing into each other or inanimate objects. In the dry. During the day.

>>150659091
next year the Road America IMSA race will be 6 hours

>tyre is healthy
no shit nigger

>>150659104

There would be a different crew and procedures, but yeah IMSA fucked up with a track that long and the unlapping rules.

>>150659172
i think he said
>car is healthy

>>150658663
nein, iraqi actually.

>>150659152

So a couple hours actual racing, I guess

>>150659202
>iraqi in kuwait

I got
Cheddar crisps

Chocolate chip cookies

I don’t actually feel like eating sweet though:/

business idea: release an active shooter in the race control room during rain

/biz/ idea: big umbrellas over the cars so they can race even when it rains

I'm going to ELMS next weekend hopefully that will be more interesting

I’m pretty convinced this tilkedromes with the wide track and enormous tarmac runoffs make the conditions so much worse.

Like at least plant a few trees ffs

>>150659635
the fans at the track paid for 6 hours of racing, they should get 6 hours of racing

There's the hyperpole and now there's the hyperparade

>>150659824
Big umbrella over the track would be better

>>150659868

Or Wiperparade lmao

>>150659534
Gin and tonic. I'm cutting right now.

>>150659892
an umbrella that big might not be feasible

>>150659937
cheers, anon

>>150659868
Hydrohyperplaneparade

>>150659892

Idea, but full size

I’m sure the Saudis could afford it, then again it never rains there

>>150660010
what about a thousand zeppelins over the track instead?
with swastikas, of course

poor eduardo

The thing is wet race can be really fun. But they actually have to let them race! It’s insanity. They are on wet tryres ffs

Guys, I think the safety car needs a safety car

>alpee first
nani

>>150660140
double SC on track messed up the order

>>150660097

A bunch of big tied up baloons actually sounds like a very cost effective and deployable solution

i thought only the sissies of f1 did safety car for some rain

Remember when we looked forward to wet races

what a mess

red frag
fuck :(

FIA and IMSA should combine their endurance series. We could have a proper 13 race season and a lot of the drivers already jump between the series.

Now the fun begins

Live footage of my soul being crushed as the only thing I was looking forward to is ruined

>>150660418
I guess that when you drink gin/vodka/whiskey you know what you're up to

YOU CANNOT SAY THAT ON TV

>>150660303
Keep your FIA and your britoid shithousery out of my IMSA. Only decent series that I don't have to worry about waking up at 6am to watch races to placate British faggots who can't bother to stay up past 7pm to watch a race.

The first 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1923 started under hail and heavy rain, with cars with no roof, fragile headlights that would easily break with any small rock hitting them (also poorly isolated electrics from the water), no wipers, bicycle tires, tin can bodywork, on a barely paved track with lots of loose rocks, with very few lights, no barriers of any kind, no runoff areas, with drivers wearing leather aviator caps and goggles as the only kind of protection.

Yet, they soldiered on, going slowly in a line at night following any car with functioning headlights if necessary. How the fuck have we gone so soft as a society?

surely leaving the cars under the rain at the main straight won't cause any troubles

>>150660418
Oh yeah, alcohol is a massive energy store, but there is no need to add non-intoxicating calorie sources on top of that. I'd be doing Vodka tonic but I just like gin.

>>150660491
I always get the feeling these days that it might be insurance companies or something standing in the way, the rain doesn't even have to be bad for them to red flag a race half the time and everyone knows nobody is going to die because its not the 1970s anymore

>>150660555
Only the dead can know peace from this "race"

hey, there are the umbrellas!
hopefully that means we can see some actual racing soon

>>150660450
Relatable. It feels like a million years since we had a prototype race.

>>150660482
Why would you have to wake up earlier? Races could literally start at the same time. And imsa already has the Michelin endurance cup. Combining that with wec wouldn't change much
>>150660335
I will keep brainstorming my shitty ideas and there's nothing you can do about it

bring out the umbrella girls

Wish 4chan would add pride flags outside of /pol/

for me it's kinky sex with the Iron Dames

>>150660491
For some reason, as it becomes more common, we value human life more and more. The fact that those drivers in 1923 survived infancy is a miracle alone and yet they were willing to lay it all on the line for the love motorsports. Everything that happened after 1939 has largely been a mistake.

>>150660913
Don't bother, it's terminal with this one.

For ducks sake they’d have gone green by now if there were no issues with the fucking safety car itself fml

There is a weird theory that part of alcohols addictiveness is that in some way it is actually a better fuel for the brain for a short amount of time then anything else ingestible

>>150661116
and that's despite the tv director being fake and gay

>>150658030
please let a tornado land closer to the track

Was this place always this slow? I remember it being a lot more lively a few months ago

>>150661125
Yeah, it's a short term stimulant but a long term depressant. It's why certain personalities just pound drink after drink. Chasing that stimulant effect.

18 mins until green, let's go

>>150661340
Well, it's late on the season and the race is currently turned off, so yeah, traffic is down.

>>150659242
yes.
>>150659704
luv americans, they always seem nice but social media makes murica look like a free for all server.

also nascar is on now i think + Sunday evening in Europe and late night in APAC

something is happening

She was kind of cute in a weird kind of way

Oh oh oh
ohohohohoh

>>150660491
>>150660648
well yes and no. Race direction knows that if someone fucks up very bad from the drivers, even by their own mistake, media and the drivers relatives will be always blame bc the driver is the hero and the star.
You will get both pretty bad press and nowadays usually it includes a lot of legal shittery, so they became risk averse across FIA since the bianchi incident. There even the relatives sued fia and the circuit and themedia was ful of what the race direction did badly and basically it was nothing said about that he was not keeping himself to one of the basicest rules around

RESTART

>>150661486
it will be another 30 mins behind sc, stronger rain arrives again, red

>>150661738
güec

I mean are we going green or are we going yellow?

>>150661615
>luv americans, they always seem nice but social media makes murica look like a free for all server.
They are like anyone else. You get a bunch of them together and they are assholes but one on one, they aren't much different than anyone else. We are all just scared and lonely people looking for someone who understands them. Like I said, if you like sports cars, or just racing or vehicles in general, we are brothers.
I can't find it, but there was a Vice video about the Quarada Bats, an Iraqi motorcycle group I had more in common with than any of my neighbors, and we don't even speak the same language.
Vrooms trump all ideologies.

>>150661802
Those are my favorite.

Was that camera man wearing a dress?

We need the WEC TV Director to show us more soaking wet women in the stands

let's goooooooooo (safety car edition)

>>150662238
The thing that gets me though is that in sportscar racing at a grade 1 circuit it needs to be a real freak accident for someone to actually get injured. I don't mean to be flippant but Nords or Bathurst in the dry seems way more dangerous to me than COTA in the wet

>420
DUUUUDE

>SC picking up the pace
is this really happening?

>>150662626
simonsen died at a grade 1-ish part of lemans though in dry so yeah it needs a freak accident but normies won't ever understand that there is always 1 percent chance for a freak accident, something happening no one could have prepared for

>>150662833
it will be green till the first duet spin

>>150662558
Actual fact.

>>150662977
i'd gladly take that over no more green flag racing at all desu

Just fucking run the cars and clean them up as needed.
Rinse and repeat. This is spots car racing not Fagula pussy shit.

My boy Riberas up three places already?

holy fuck that spray

let's hope the drivers can keep it together

Lads, I switched off when they red flagged it, just switched back on and the conditions look the exact same as about an hour ago

>>150663162
2/3rds star le mans

>>150662914
The trouble with Simonsen was careless barrier placement when they were setting up the street section and them up too close to the trees, and even then that was a GTE from 2012. I guess the issue is that there's no hard point where you say something is and isn't safe enough, but COTA has a mile of runoff from each corner and a billion tires at every wall so to me there's no serious risk of injury

>>150663293
It’s pretty based considering how hard that thing looks to drive in the dry

>>150663357
they were way worse desu
it's just the spraying looking way worse at full speed

ashton is on fire

>>150663357
And what do you know its fine

>>150657629
CotA has LITERALLY never had a profitable race that isn’t formula 1. I hope WEC goes to Indy next year and stays for a long time. Vastly better track. Cota is just shit to drive and shit to get to and shit to be at. Stupid Tilke drone

Did Ogier ever comment on why he stopped his sportscar plans and if he intends to resume then ever ?

>>150664680
they have to use a banked turn again
the current infield layout is gay, and probably fake as well

>>150664680
COTA owner chimped out on F1 that the mexico race is too close and thus hurts their bottom line lol
They must do sg very badly

3 hours of Kino LETS GOOOO

>>150657820
Dude I agree. I hate it. It flows so bad and it blue balls you every time it starts to feel good with obnoxious brake zones and annoying corners.

Mid Ohio is so natural and great. And Watkins and road America and Sebring and lime rock etc etc. it’s like the British GT series where every track is amazing except at least silver stone is good. In the USA it’s CotA for some reason that keeps getting tries from the different series and never gets a crowd.

>>150664595
At some point I think people just have to admit the 499p is the best car.

Unless they are cheating

>>150664680

A race on the current Indy GP layout with WEC would be pretty fun but I’m not sure how they feel about tracks like it

>>150664882
I think Mid Ohio and Lime Rock would be too small for WEC grid given we’ve already got a lot and 3 more coming

Road America or Atlanta would be cool

>>150664891
I agree but people still try and say the porsche or toyota is secretly the better car.

>>150664760
I like the original F1 layout and I like the new fast chicane that replaced the carousel but I would prefer a fast chicane and the banked turn.

In fact I believe the banked turn only left because Bernie Ecclestone threw a massive fit that F1 looked slower running it than Indycar.
Firstly, he’d actually pretty based for realizing this was bad for F1 prestige st a time when Indy had some hope of competing with F1. Secondly Bernie is gone and the bank is kino and the gentleman drivers will appreciate the opportunity to get photos and be on TV driving down it and over the bricks.
Plus Indyshart is so trash we need a new race to replace that awful series

>>150664891

Well they apparently worked to make the car aero work better in yaw/turning than other teams because the FIA/ACO only test in a linear tunnel so they don’t check for that, they probably stall out a little in a straight line so there aero numbers don’t look as good as they really are to the regulators

>>150664690
i guess he didn't enjoy it enough to make the switch, by this point i doubt he'll run anything other than wrc

>>150665094
One thing I would say about Toyotaku is their BoP is bullshit considering how long it’s been since they had any success. I get why their fans might be salty, it could be competitive but it gets BoP like it’s been winning this season but it’s actually been poor all season

>Make dinner while watching turnleft
>Tune back on to WEC
>Holy shit sports cars in the rain!!!
Finally, some real racing.

>>150665114

They technically could run turn one reverse still with the current layout, by just avoiding the last bus stop/chicane section, but the lap time would probably be too short then, but Interlagos exists so I don’t see why not

ahhh, endurance racing is still GOATed
pls no more SC

>>150665260

biz idea: WEC at VIR

>>150665344
Sports Car.racing is best car racing, no matter how much IMSA and FIA want to ruin it.

Love how you can hear the Valkyrie above all the other cars. Bugatti needs to enter Hypercar with their bigger V16 Cossie to go alongside the V12 in the Aston, my ears would cum.

That sounds a bit off. Everything we know about the 499p indicates it’s better in a straight line, which would indicate a lower drag/lower downforce setup which correlates to it being slower in corners.

But being quicker in a straight line is a bigger advantage in endurance racing, where you will do more overtaking. That’s going to be easier in a straight, where as higher drag cars will get held up more in corners which takes away their corner speed advantage

Really I’ll be fascinated to see if any new teams can compete with them in the next couple of seasons

>>150665655
if they have a better aero package, they can run lower downforce setup to give them an advantage of the straights and still be as fast as the others in the corners

>>150665655

Stalling the aero can reduce drag and increase straight line speed when done right though, it’s very important with current reg F1 so there is technology crossover there..

>>150665586
bro these cars have half the power that a bollide or other bugatti has

huh, multiple close calls for the 83 car

>>150665330
do a le mans style mixed circuit if you want a longer lap time

>>150665850

The Valkyrie only runs with a little more than Half the power the road car has with the same V12, engines can be tuned down, if anything the more you can tune an engine down the better it would be for endurance and efficiency. Can’t go too lean or an engine will blow itself to bits though.

It’d be interesting to hear cars racing through a tunnel but try getting any race organisation to sanction that one lol

the world needs more KINO+SOVL wet racing like this desu...

>>150666160
>engines can be tuned down
ofc all engines can be tuned down but that doesnt mean every engine will remain "happy". Vibration issues can appear , driveability can suffer, etc. It really depends on the engine if its feasible or not.

>>150666160
Yea, and it’s not very competitive, at all, really. Not much point dragging around a big V12 when a TT V6 will comfortably and reliably make max power and not compromise your packaging or weight distribution as much given its smaller size

Any road, I don’t even remember the last time I saw Bugatti factory involved in motorsports. It’s not really their thing

>>150666160
it does mean you are carrying an engine that's 2x heavier than it needs to be

>>150666363
also good luck with with packaging around a 1-meter long V16 >>150666343

>>150666231
kek

>>150666307

Yeah, a Race V16 is probably pushing things a little with that length of crank but the Brand Rep would be immense if they could make it work, not that Bugatti would ever need to.

Gotta love the but we could not that we should of it though, Nismo GTR LM has a cult fan base for that line of reasoning despite not working out.

>>150666544
The pay piggy team needs a win.

Sea bass surge when?

How about this for insanity, transverse v12 in a fucking single seater that weighs less than half a ton.

Is there any way to see tire age and fuel levels like there is in IMSA, or can we only know when they show it on the broadcast?

>>150666965
Fuck you
have a 4L

>>150666965
crossovers need so people can go and buy bc look my car is in the game

Wordl Euro Cucks, please reject COTA, embrace Sebring.
Being faggot is a choice. Please stop it.

Classic BMW reliability
I wonder if they also leave oil stains behind them on the grid lol

>>150666965

Wouldn’t mind the crossovers if they weren’t hybrid appliances that will never be tunable because manufacturers hate people modifying Electric cars.

>>150667026
When the supreme leader deems it is appropriate.

>>150666965
>>150667051
I mean even if they added more modern race cars their class system makes no sense and it’s just end up being a cluster fuck. Forza Motorsports class system is workable for modern race cars but they really dropped the ball elsewhere.

I’ve been getting my vrooms from LMU. Hopefully project motor racing will be good because I CBA with PC

>>150666965
what's that? you want GT8 Nissan Juke Edition?

>>150667051
don't disrespect the mighty 4L

>>150667147

Yeah, normies still buy Minis en mass here in the uk despite the reliability being a known issue for pretty much two decades at this point.

(Mini use BMW mechanicals)

>>150667048
Stop asking questions and enjoy your globalist slop, goy.

>>150667144
I really dislike Sebring. It’s basically flat. I really hate race tracks with no elevation change. It’s just a meme because muh history muh bumpiness that’s just an excuse for the owners to not spend a penny on upkeep

>>150667236
>Mini
mad that BMW have managed to take a BL product and make it even more unreliable

>>150667231

I’ll take classic compacts any day over soulless VGT Concepts and Crossovers.

Crossovers, don’t get me started, single handed running current car culture into the ground.

>>150667158
lol the delusion.
Manufacturers want to forbid you from touching any internal thing on your car whether hybrid, electricshit or ICE.
And yeah basically every big manufacturer from toyota to bmw, so you cant workaround the more and more:
- subscription plans
- spying
- random manufacturer service fees
- skyhigh manufacturer service

>>150667048
i think it's supposed to hide it from the opposition, they do the same shit in f*rmula e

Miserable race for Toyota

I’ll give you that one, conservative governments in the later 20th century killed our car industry

>>150667293
>>150667236
tbf the worst reliability thing in mini history is a joint BMW + PSA coproduction, possibly the worst duo

>>150667293
The original relaunch of the Mini was actually done by Rover. The prototype was on eBay a while ago, with Rover emblems etched in the glass.

BMW came in and just took all the credit. Shame really

>>150667339
miserable season desu, they are cucked out by the hydrogen regs slow to arrive

>>150667339
Yea can’t even stay on track. It’s a shame we never got to see a dry qualifying. I feel like we never really found out who had the best one lap dry pace.

I know that doesn’t indicate who will win, but I was very interested to see if the 499p would be quicker because I wasn’t sure it would be

>>150667293
Mad that BMW took rover and killed it so the chinese can munch on the Rover MG corpse. Same for GM giving up SAAB btw

red flag in 5

>>150667324

This sort of thing is leaking to many aspects of modern consumerism, I’m just hoping the car industry takes two steps back but people will just eat it up until literally nobody can get into driving anymore because affordable used cars are either gone, unmaintainable or banned for not being ‘up to date with modern standards’ (Not being capable of withstanding a minor collision with Karen’s three and a half tone Electric Qashkai)

>>150667567
I’m actually kind of surprised some Chinese electric company hasn’t bought the Saab name to slap the badge on their motors to help sell them in Europe.

Although maybe it wouldn’t make much difference because the EU introduced a big import tax on Chinese electric cars because when they said “buy an electric car” what they actually meant was “buy a German electric car”

Holy recovery by Marciello

KINO

peak motor racing desu

>>150667742

Seeing more and more Chinese vehicles in the UK, like increasing surprisingly quickly, I think they want more to grow in there own brands rather than hijack history, which I kind of respect more than when I see New MG’s which just make me Cringe

Business idea: +1 bonus point for each completed 360

>>150667742
Back when spyker sold it to the chinese NEVS cover company, Scania went in and forbid the chinese to use the name and griffin logo and understandably they don't intend to sell the right to be slapped on some plastic lithium ion bomb

>>150667849
Those new MGs are a real steal though for the money, I’ve seen plenty. Certainly more than the BYDs, Ora Cats or whatever the fuck they are

>>150667940
Wasn’t the Spyker brand itself “borrowed” from another company of the same name that made planes and things? The ironing of it all

>tfw no gold Spyker LMH car

Radio Le Mans is truly just an extended commercial for Hertz

>>150667940

Oh, I was hoping it was because the Chinese had some semblance of respect or soul but no, they were legally stopped of course… I kind of hope somebody or anybody will save Lotus from going to the Grave like TVR nevertheless. That Lotus crossover probably has Chapman hitting the Rev Limit in his coffin already anyway.

>>150667996
These BYDs and Ora are shitboxes being shoved down third world markets by chinks. Avoid.

The 009 and 007 are still up there, noice.

Amazing how not even Hanson managed to spin these Ferraris but everyone else spun at least once

>>150668165
Tbf had it not been for the Chinese Lotus would already be dead. I don’t think low volume relatively affordable sports cars can really work anymore. The economy of scale just isn’t there. Not unless you go ultra high end like Koenigsegegeigegg

Just look at TVR…

FUCK YEAH

Moments like that is when I wonder just how good Rossi could have been if he did F1 like when he toyed with the idea when he was younger.

I feel like it’s only a matter of time before someone else goes from two to four wheels and surprises everyone like Surtees. Damon Hill started on bikes and he had no right being as good as he was starting cars at the age he did.

>>150668393
they can work if done right. See Rimac, Bugatti, Pagani, etc...

>>150668716
The average price of all those cars are in the millions, no one making large numbers of sports cars turns a profit. mclaren, aston, lotus, all lose money and porsche, lamborgini make all their money selling SUVs. Only exceptionis really ferrari and now they make and SUV too.

>>150668850
Now that they've swallowed their pride, Ferrari might as well give the world a 4pot shitbox
those are becoming a luxury item as well with all the 1.2 3 cylinders running around

>>150668991
