[eternal ravine]

My non racing friends really had to plan our Puerto Rico trip same weekend as Indycar and F1 smh

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah true

EST is doable most of the time

But like, anything west of the Mid West becomes really painful

[tight quiver]

tell them to go away

watch indycar

[lethal yacht]

💀

[marble willow]

F1 elitists try not to denounce other forms of racing challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[marble ingot]

what sport is it

[lethal yacht]

NASCAR

[marble ingot]

they do shift tho

[visual ravine]

The real drivers start next weekend

In Indycar

Or the real drivers and Santino Ferrucci to be precise

[ember rampart]

Thank you for clarifying

[unkempt mirage]

Nah

The real drivers already started on the 31st of December last year

[buoyant shale]

Some people think NASCAR is basically only Daytona style plate tracks since all of NASCAR theyve seen is some Big Ones come by

[timber storm]

Ong

Nascar and oval racing in general is a lot more than just "driving in circles"

[unkempt mirage]

Actually looks pretty fitting

Can’t wait to confuse it with the Ferrari suits

[weak carbon]

I swear if she becomes the new Danica 🗿

[marble willow]

Doriane Pin? The new Danica?

Pfffffff…. As if.

Doriane Pin’s got a lot more talent than Danica has

[weak carbon]

That’s what we said about Hailie Deegan in ARCA…

[unkempt mirage]

She won’t make the mistake of becoming a stock car driver

There you go

Problem avoided

[marble willow]

Yup.

Besides, the Iron Dames are probably the best thing for females in motor racing at the present moment

That team alone is better than the entire W Series

(And we all know what happened to that series in the end)

[feral rose]

ong

[ember rampart]

I’m waiting for it to happen again with f1 academy

[dry atlas]

Danica has talent
just converting from open-wheel to stock cars is not easy

[marble willow]

I know

[dry atlas]

and I'd argue extreme e > iron dames

theres a lot of good female rally drivers

[unkempt mirage]

Iron Dames races in the big races though

Le Mans and stuff

[marble willow]

I'd say both are as good as each other... but considering how I don't really follow extreme e, not to mention the Dames already making a name for themselves through things like their class win at the Spa 24 Hours... I'd probably say the Dames are better.

[unkempt mirage]

I think it’s the broader appeal rather then better drivers per se

More people know of the 24H races than of Extreme E

[marble willow]

yeah

[unkempt mirage]

A good result at Le Mans does wonders

[blissful rock]

very insightful
thank you for the information

[visual vine]

Take a look at Sophia floesch for example didn’t necessarily do well at Le Mans but did dtm and a few years of elms and back in f3

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah true

She certainly has an interesting career

And ofc you still have Michele Mouton and stuff

IndyCar at Zandvoort maybe 👀

No way Zandvoort can fit in an American style pit lane with pit wall in its current one

[lethal parcel]

Yeah that's a problem

Or maybe at Assen

Assen's pit lane is probably big enough

@lethal parcel yeah Assen could work

It hosted a round of the Champ Car World Series, one of the predecessors to modern IndyCar, in 2007

[jaunty blade]

Why do I feel new cars of Endurance cannot enter History ? Like in F1 the W11 is one the most dominant cars and it entered history quickly, why do I hear about the Mercedes CLR and The Mazda endurance car but not the new LMP and LMH

I know LMH is new but yk what I mean

[fluid cobalt]

You don't hear about the R8 and the 919?

[karmic tinsel]

i mean theyre not exactly historic are they

im sure a couple of toyotas lmp1 and lmdh cars will be historic when their time comes

[jaunty blade]

Audi R8 ?

Well yeah but I'm talking Hypercars

[fluid cobalt]

But they... What?

They're 2-3 years old

[karmic tinsel]

theres more to endurance than the top classes dude

im sure the homage liveried 911 rsr' from 2018 will be remembered

[jaunty blade]

Yeah ik I hear about those R8 and 919 but I'm talking Hypercars ?

Like

Not supercars

I love GTE and all but honestly I'm trying to get into endurance and I'm more fan of the prototypes

[fluid cobalt]

I don't know what you expect because the examples of the CLR and 787B is because the cars' did something nutty, that cemented them in history, whereas Hypercars have just started

[jaunty blade]

Hypercars started but like, CLR are the Ancestors of the Hypercars

[fluid cobalt]

So?

[jaunty blade]

Well

[karmic tinsel]

i dont get your point

[jaunty blade]

Yeah sorry I don't know how to word this

Let's say LMP1

They stopped ?

Now it's LMH ?

Why don't I hear about the LMP1 cars when talking about very good cars of endurance

Also if I say something dumb make me notice it cause idk a lot

[fluid cobalt]

Th-... They have

[jaunty blade]

What do they have

They have what

[fluid cobalt]

V12 LMR, Panoz GTR-1, Audi R8, R18, Porsche RS Spyder, Porsche 919

Peugeot 908

Like these're... Talked about

[jaunty blade]

This is not an LMP1 ?

[jaunty blade]

What year is this from ?

Wait how is this even authorised don't they need a closed cockpit ?

I rlly need to educate myself

[fluid cobalt]

This won 2000-2005's Le Mans 24 only being broken by Bentley's Speed 8 in 2003... Essentially a closed top 4L R8 in and of itself

[jaunty blade]

Yeah but this was 20 years ago ?

[fluid cobalt]

Won ALMS from 2000-2005

[jaunty blade]

I'm talking Recently

Like

[fluid cobalt]

You brought examples pre-2000

[jaunty blade]

Yeah

I said

Why do I only hear about old cars

And not recent ones

[karmic tinsel]

because they were radical mainly, like the 787B used a rotary motor, which hasnt been seen ever again

[jaunty blade]

Ooh

The regs were less

Uh

How do I say

Restrictive ?

[fluid cobalt]

not entirely true but it's the only outright winner in LM with a Rotary, being a 4 Rotor which hadn't really been seen much before

tho this feels like a killjoy correction aaaa

And the CLR was well known because it flipped 3 times and ended Mercedes Prototype running for the 2nd time

[jaunty blade]

Hm

Ok so since the regs were less restrictive the cars had more mistakes and or special characteristics that made them different ?

[fluid cobalt]

I guess so? I mean since the 90's regs tightened up alot with the Max and Bernie show with fingers in every honey pot, but with Hypercar/LMDh there's a light

[jaunty blade]

Ah okok

Thanks for your time

Btw where do I watch WEC/Imsa ?

[fluid cobalt]

Because for example in LMPH regs rotaries are allowed

And there's a bit more... Visual distinction... I guess, as it was intended initially to have road car basis in mind

[autumn briar]

Aw Chandler Smith unlucky

Austin Hill wins

[urban sinew]

I found out about Austin Hill in 2016 when he drove the #1 truck

[jaunty blade]

Does the Gte AM cars has to be the same as Gte Pro ? And can the teams be different?

[unkempt mirage]

Same cars yeah

And it are mostly customer teams

[jaunty blade]

Is there a Reason most of the Gt are customer teams ?

On the list I only Corvette as a Factory team

[tight quiver]

GTE Pros were usually factory teams

And the drivers from GTE Pro are now driving hypercars

[jaunty blade]

Gte pros doesn't exist anymore ?

[unkempt mirage]

AF Corse and TF Sport are pseudo factory teams i believe

[tight quiver]

nah

[unkempt mirage]

GTE Pro was axed at the end of last year due to lack of entries

[jaunty blade]

Oh

So this year it's a majority of hypercars

[unkempt mirage]

It was a Ferrari vs Porsche show for at least 2 years

[jaunty blade]

Yeah I've heard about Porsche VS Audi

[unkempt mirage]

That was good stuff as well, but mainly in the old LMP1 class

[jaunty blade]

What is the reason Endurance drivers as not as represented as F1 drivers ? Lack of attention ? The fact they're 3 by cars, the numbers of cars ?

[unkempt mirage]

I think it’s because it’s more focused on the racing and less on the show aspect

[karmic tinsel]

not as many watch endurance racing

[jaunty blade]

Oh ok

[karmic tinsel]

it hasnt become accessible like f1 has, so doesnt attract casual watchers

[jaunty blade]

And what do you think about the Nascar car racing at Le Mans ?

I have a feeling it will either do good or get destroyed

[tight quiver]

its around the same pace as the GT cars

so it will probably get in the way a lot

while GT cars are battling for position

[unkempt mirage]

Yeah probably

This is from a Sportscars server, it’s definitely harder to get into

[karmic tinsel]

i have hope for the nascar, i dont think theyd enter if they felt theyd be uncompetitive

and le mans surely wouldnt let them in if they were just going to be a roadblock

[unkempt mirage]

They aren't competing for wins i believe though

But yeah, the pace has to be there

The entry is a modified version of the Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race car. The Garage 56 classification was introduced in 2012 as a special single-entry class for innovative vehicles. It allows for creativity without taking away a spot in the traditional starting grid in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
