Iirc they lifted stuff like import tariffs, and also stopped the subsidizing of the car industry, so that's why it did

Not only GM killing Holden, also Ford essentially killing Ford Australia and Toyota shutting its Aussie plants

It's too expensive to produce in Australia nowadays, too

And the factories produced relatively low numbers for modern day car factories, often producing for all 3 brands to fill the production line up

Custer: Slows to let his teammate by and gets passed by other cars.
NASCAR: Massive penalty.
Nemecheck: Blocks the entire field while a lap down so his teammate will win the race.
NASCAR: Nothing.

"According to Petter and Oliver Neuville rules a lot. The message the whole year has been that Oliver has nothing to prove and that he had a contract for 23-24 where he would drive all races so they are very shocked. And they put it down to that Neuville apparently don't want Oliver as the third driver.

Since Adamo disappeared it has been chaos in the team. They don't practice together, don't eat together and don't speak to each other. Ott is the only one in the team that supported Oliver when its been hard.

Oliver has tested and found good settings on the car but then been forced to drive races with Neuvilles settings. There's been a lot happening behind the scenes that people have no clue about.

That's pretty much it about that and that Oliver now talks pretty much with everyone and try to find something."

Pending post-race inspection, Sieg will have given Ford their 999th last-place finish, so we could see the 1,000th in tomorrow's race.

It would also be the first last-place finish by reason of "steering box," as opposed to "steering" or "power steering."

they never pit actually

only in flag-to-flag races

that's basically a dry to wet

or vice versa

[lavish shard]

bike swap

[drifting sentinel]

it's a 40 minute sprint race

[eternal ravine]

I saw a clip from Austria where it started to rain but they changed the entire bike

[drifting sentinel]

yeah that's flag-to-flag

[eternal ravine]

So I wonder if they swapped bikes or tires or soemthing

[drifting sentinel]

each rider has 2 bikes

[drifting sentinel]

bikes

[naive smelt]

Don’t they always change the entire bike

[drifting sentinel]

yeah

[naive smelt]

Yes they do

If it rains

[drifting sentinel]

changing tyres on a bike is too long

[eternal ravine]

So theoretically can a driver rejoin the race in the 2nd bike? like old F1

rider*

[drifting sentinel]

only when it's a flag-to-flag

flag-to-flag is what permits that

[marble willow]

Only happens in motorcycle endurance races https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG9mHwsQ7yA

[eternal ravine]

whats flag to flag

[drifting sentinel]

change of weather

[naive smelt]

No I’ve seen them do it like last year

Oh you mean changing tyres only happens in endurance ok

[drifting sentinel]

MotoGP races are only 40-minute sprints so Michelin construct tyres that are built to last the entire duration

so it's full racing the entire 40 mins

[eternal ravine]

MotoGP is like F1, where the bikes are built from the ground up for racing where as endurance bikes are like GT racecars, based on road bikes

right?

[drifting sentinel]

I don't watch motorcycle endurance

but WSBK you can say is the GT3 equivalent for bikes

Moto 2 and 3 like f2 and f3 no???

[marble willow]

yea

[unborn thistle]

Man, What a race it ws

[drifting sentinel]

WSBK are just road-legal superbikes

[unborn thistle]

Treat to watch

[drifting sentinel]

WSBK is fuckin awesome too

[misty marsh]

WSBK = modified road bikes
MotoGP = purpose built bikes

[drifting sentinel]

yep

[unborn thistle]

Great Race by Rins, shout out to his Family

[drifting sentinel]

WSBK is awesome too, they go to great circuits

[west violet]

Spain anthem finally

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnLKRGpctzA And before you had the modern day 4-Stroke 1000cc MotoGP bikes of today, you had this.

[drifting sentinel]

they go to Estoril, Donington, Magny-Cours

[naive smelt]

Ok time to sleep

It’s only 5am 🥲

[west violet]

Damn you stayed up long mate

[drifting sentinel]

sleep is for the weak

[marble willow]

Just ask the riders that compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans bike race

[west violet]

We can do that fam

[marble willow]

[unborn thistle]

@drifting sentinel Pecco disappeared from your Bio👀

[naive smelt]

I’d rather not go to bed than sleep too little tbh

[drifting sentinel]

how the fuck did you notice

[last urchin]

What a race

[drifting sentinel]

I've commited myself 100%

to Marc

my beloved

[unborn thistle]

🫂

[last urchin]

Beauty

[eternal ravine]

Nice to see the Bugatti Circuit getting some use

[drifting sentinel]

though being a Vale and Marc fan is kind of criminal 💀

they downright did NOT like each other

[west violet]

It was used this season mate

The bugatti circut

[drifting sentinel]

that's MotoGP's French GP venue every year lol

[unborn thistle]

It's like being a hardcore LH and MV fan at the same time

[drifting sentinel]

bikes also go there all the time

[drifting sentinel]

pretty much

[eternal ravine]

Petition for them to use Circuit de Le Sarthe

[drifting sentinel]

which ig is also me 😳

[unborn thistle]

I'm waiting for MotoGP to race at Spa

[west violet]

Good thing motogp don't race at paul ricard or magny cours

[unborn thistle]

They're planning it for 2024

[drifting sentinel]

WSBK goes to Magny and it isn't bad tbf

[eternal ravine]

I'd imagine you'd probably dont wont MotoGP on circuits with long straights

[marble willow]

Modern day GP bikes would probably be a couple seconds faster than the GTE's thanks to the mulsanne straight

[drifting sentinel]

bikes realistically can race anywhere

[west violet]

Spa would be dangerous if we have a motogp race

[misty marsh]

when u think about it bugatti is just an infield section of le sarthe

[last urchin]

Irish public roads

[unborn thistle]

MotoGP can race at any track and still produce amazing racing

[drifting sentinel]

indeed

[west violet]

True

[drifting sentinel]

Isle of Man

[eternal ravine]

MotoGP to Monaco when?

[last urchin]

That’s different

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYJHyTyPj6A

[west violet]

It entertains us unlike f1 of cource

[unborn thistle]

It'll return in the future

[misty marsh]

motogp on laguna seca >>

[drifting sentinel]

I think a bike series recently returned to Spa this year, ever since the repaving of Eau Rouge and such

forgot which

[drifting sentinel]

100%

though COTA is also fuckin great for MotoGP

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G31P1Bn4Qvg

[drifting sentinel]

yeahhh there you go

[unborn thistle]

And especially Marq

[west violet]

Tbh I'll miss aragon on the calendar which sucks

[marble willow]

The bikes look amazing when they fly down the kemmel straight

[unborn thistle]

Can you imagine the Ducati power at the Kemmel Straight

[unborn thistle]

That's like a 0.3-0.4s advantage

[unborn thistle]

I'll take it for Buddh

[marble willow]

MotoGP to Tsukuba when

[misty marsh]

will there be any layout modifications for Buddh? or it's all the GP track unchanged?

[drifting sentinel]

wait Aragon is leaving???

why have I not heard this

[last urchin]

Idc abt the finish I wanna see them go up radillon

[unborn thistle]

The layout will be same

[drifting sentinel]

is the one in Kazakhstan or Buddh replacing it or smth

[unborn thistle]

But some other homologations will be done

[misty marsh]

it'll be back for 2024 i think, but they don't have the contract for 2023

[drifting sentinel]

fuckkkk

[unborn thistle]

Buddh

[drifting sentinel]

Aragon has been so good the past how many years now

[west violet]

I have to wait 2 years for that fuck

[last urchin]

Ikr

[drifting sentinel]

but ig it's fair, Spain already had 4 GPs including Aragon

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTKXvPbxpGk

[unborn thistle]

Sokol track is like Bahrain in a mirror

[last urchin]

Thank you

[west violet]

2 gps also on italy

[drifting sentinel]

yep

[misty marsh]

unironic since T*lke designed Sokol too lmao

[last urchin]

But they both deliver

[drifting sentinel]

definitely

same with all 4 Spanish GPs

[last urchin]

Yep

[drifting sentinel]

Aragon will be missed even if it's just a year

sad

[lethal yacht]

Moto shouldnt race in Kazhakstan yet

[unborn thistle]

Why?

[drifting sentinel]

why is MotoGP going there

[west violet]

Why tho??

[lethal yacht]

Almost got invaded by Russia

[misty marsh]

does kazakh have a good motogp fanbase?

[drifting sentinel]

is there a massive motorcycle market in Kazakhstan?

[last urchin]

I honestly think rins

[unborn thistle]

To channelise the Central Asian audience

[last urchin]

Is one of the best riders

[drifting sentinel]

fair

[west violet]

Finland also got cancelled cause of the war

[last urchin]

On the grid

[drifting sentinel]

definitely one of the most underrated

[misty marsh]

i see why they're going to india but kazakhstan is a bit obscure

[drifting sentinel]

I thought it got cancelled for COVID

[lethal yacht]

Russian troops where "Rushing" into Kazhakstan

[west violet]

That's just to avoid going on the area on the war

[unborn thistle]

No no.
Because Finland wanted to get in Nato and then Russia told them, "Lmao, no"

[last urchin]

When he’s on form he is better than almost everyone. Except for maybe Marquez and Fabio

[drifting sentinel]

I wouldn't say that

[kindred pebble]

This years was cancelled due to the war

[unborn thistle]

Rins is a very track specific rider

[last urchin]

He’s massively putperformed mir

[lethal yacht]

Kazhakstan is also moving away with russia the same thing that happened in 2014 with Ukraine

its risky to race there for now

[drifting sentinel]

Australia not added but how are you gonna tell me Pecco doesn't deserve this title

fuckin masterclass

[unborn thistle]

I think Aleix deserves it more than Anyone

[drifting sentinel]

taking into context his career history, maybe

[unborn thistle]

They've worked their asses off at Aprillia to get a competitive bike

The struggle of 4 years paid off this year

[drifting sentinel]

but his performance this year doesn't draw me to call him more deserving

[unborn thistle]

But now the pace is disappearing

[drifting sentinel]

yep

[unborn thistle]

Second half hasn't been good

[lethal yacht]

But politics aside i want to see how Kazhakstan does next year

[drifting sentinel]

tbf

everyone's latter half of the year has gone down except Ducati's

[last urchin]

Because Fabio has been the only one on a Yamaha pushing the bikes limits. Fabio deserves it more because his bike isn’t near as good

[drifting sentinel]

fair

[unborn thistle]

I just realised

[last urchin]

What?

[unborn thistle]

Cal Crutchlow and Darryn Binder both finsihed in the points

[last urchin]

Wow

[unborn thistle]

That's a win for them ig

[last urchin]

I miss dovi

Prime dovi

[unborn thistle]

Ducati finished him

[last urchin]

Yeah

[unborn thistle]

Only Man to strike fear into MM93

[marble willow]

Yikes. Quartararo's done for

[last urchin]

He was competitive with them and they left him with no mercy

[drifting sentinel]

it's pretty unfortunate yeah

[unborn thistle]

The 2020 Ducati was same as the Ferrari 2020

[drifting sentinel]

I think Dovi should've been paired with Pecco

[unborn thistle]

But still Dovi sneaked away a win

[last urchin]

Yeah

[lethal yacht]

oh no

Kurt is either retiring or Backing away from the sport

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kurt-busch-nascar-champion-step-away-from-sport-concussion/

[kindred pebble]

Bit late on that one chief

[west violet]

I thought kimi retired again phew

[tacit garden]

jesus that was a huge crash in the Le Mans Cup race

[tight quiver]

yep

the reason the first guy didnt go faster was because he would pass the SC

[tacit garden]

huh

did the SC just go to slowly to the pits?

or did he accelerate too early?

[tight quiver]

not sure

but it was waved yellows up until the finish line so the leader didnt really accelarte while the other ones did

[tacit garden]

judging from the replays they all seemed to to relatively fast and the first guy braked?

oh I'm just seeing that yellow

that doesn't seem like the intended place for a marshall

I'm actually surprised there's no catch fence in front of the marshall post

[tight quiver]

to not pass the SC before it was in the pits

[tacit garden]

surely that also means the others can't overtake the leader?

[tight quiver]

they arent meant to overtake

but the panic to not run into in the leader

so they ended up 3 wide

then the 3rd car came in and lost it

[tacit garden]

locked up the rears?

[tight quiver]

probably

[tacit garden]

I mean that's a pretty shitty thing to do either way

But what big advantage do you get from that in what's essentially a spec series

[unkempt mirage]

Setup perhaps

[tacit garden]

just from onboard videos?

plus that assumes they use the same car in first place

like if you use the RS3 you probably can't get a lot of infro from a team using the Civic

(Edit: I just looked, Target has the Hyundai Elantra while Comtoyou has the Audi RS3)

again it's shitty either way I just don't understand why someone would do it

[tight quiver]

yep

20 sec until fcy

sarah could pit now and be fine

crane on track

T1

[autumn briar]

yes she should

[tight quiver]

sarah pit now coam on

this LMP2 battle is gonna be good once we go green

[autumn briar]

Come on Iron Lynx use your brain

[tight quiver]

they might try to stay out and do 1 less pitstop

since they still have fuel onboard

[autumn briar]

Nope

No pit

[tight quiver]

so they are going with track position

and fuel

[autumn briar]

fair ig

[tight quiver]

lets see if it pays off

[autumn briar]

Hoping for another fcy soon then

[tight quiver]

otherwise we have pocket rocket

[brittle bone]

I badly want Pietro to win

[lethal yacht]

why she didnt pit

[tight quiver]

track position

they still have fuel

so they can pit later

[autumn briar]

she was faster than the 69

dunno about the 32

[tight quiver]

she will most likely have 1 less stop than her competitors

so thats a min-ish time

WE RACE
