@NASCAR @kaseykahne I was surprised, till I remembered that he won the Coke 600 (as big as the Daytona 500 fans need to remember) 3 times

3x Coke 600 winner, All-Star winner, an Brickyard 400 winner, i can’t argue with that, as much as i want to

How dare FOX Sports use the f-word.

[lethal yacht]

he’s a decent driver

how has this not saved his career tho

you don’t get put in to Hendrick Motorsports for no reason

[foggy fulcrum]

top 25 in the last 25 years though come on

[zenith spoke]

I mean winning the the 600 three times is a large accomplishment

[foggy fulcrum]

which is why i said... "actually this guy's right" and "3x Coke 600 winner, All-Star winner, an Brickyard 400 winner, i can’t argue with that, as much as i want to"

I wouldn't put him in the top 25 for the last 25 at all, i think he wasted a seat at Hendrick

but i can understand why they did

[zenith spoke]

He won all of that except the brickyard 400 with an rpm car that was everham

[foggy fulcrum]

And?

Evernham was a good team

[zenith spoke]

honestly idk where I'm going with this 💀

[foggy fulcrum]

to be clear, i think he deserved to get a seat at Hendrick

i think he didn't deserve to keep it for anywhere close to as long as he did

Jr and Bowman blow him out of the water in terms of ROI at HMS

I dispise the 95 car with the font he used with the 9

[timber storm]

Is the one of the left inspired by the 2018 Mclaren or the car Fernando ran in the 2017 Indy 500.

[fluid cobalt]

It's the one they won the 500 with in 1972

You uncultured swine

[eternal ravine]

Neither.

[fluid cobalt]

STOP IT DISCORD I WANT /J

[marble willow]

But Mclaren won with a Sunoco livery in 1972

Im going through Twitter trying to find an answer but cant find anything. Im sure someone will explain it soon

[fluid cobalt]

Oh what year was this then?

[timber storm]

Interesting

[fluid cobalt]

74?

[marble willow]

Yes

The one Rutherford used

Coz 72 was a Penske-McLaren yes?

[marble willow]

Yes. This was the 1972 car

That sounds like a straight F1 V6

[marble willow]

Well, the engine was made by HWA, which is of course related to Mercedes. But some racing V6's can sound exactly like the ones used in F1 at the present moment.

[fluid cobalt]

Impossible

that notch is reserved for the DTM V6's

[marble willow]

True... That and the Honda V6's used in the JGTC/Super GT when they run that single exhaust layout

Or the Buick V6's in Indycar

Coz less be real most V6's sound kinda just mid, or flat

[earnest lagoon]

Can't be bothered to answer you sry

[autumn briar]

🗿

[earnest lagoon]

🙂

[bright oar]

wait, so the proper 'name' for it is WEC?

i feel so stupid while trying to talk about any other category than f1 😭

[autumn briar]

This is a seperate series that just organizes races on the Nürburgring every few weeks

Just the Nürburgring

The 12 hours is the biggest race but usually its just between 4 and 6 hours

Many of these teams will also do the 24hs of the Nürburgring but that race doesnt get you points for this championship.

[bright oar]

Hm okay, how about the drivers, the ones here today are all racing in wec for example?

[autumn briar]

oh hey they are on the formation lap

[bright oar]

or do some of them basically prepare just to race on one track

[autumn briar]

Some do WEC yeah, in either the top class like Estre or Vanthoor or GT3 AM (they won't be here todat cause WEC races tomorrow but they are often here) and then the rest are Factory GT3 drivers for BMW, Porsche or Audi

And then there are also amateurs here

[bright oar]

I'll definitely have to read about this cuz seems a bit complicated lol

[autumn briar]

Multi class racing looks difficult when you get into it but its actually not that difficult

This is probably one of the most difficult series just cause there are so many classes and the Nordschleife is huge.

Deffo reccomend watching WEC tomorrow that will be a nice race too

Ah right there's Touring cars here too

[bright oar]

Is it free to watch anywhere?

[autumn briar]

Depends on where you live

In Europe its usually on Eurosport

[bright oar]

I don't watch tv, unless they stream it on their website

which one

super stadium trucks? Indycar? IMSA?

thats a shame

I think my best option still would be buying live access on wec app

and not say stuff

[uneven coral]

Exactly, he can't qualify P13 now.

[tight quiver]

yeah he is better than the will power

[uneven coral]

O'Ward was 3rd or 4th in the group ?

[tight quiver]

idk

[uneven coral]

Oh, he still finished 3rd.

[clear field]

Is anyone watching MotoGP?

Or IndyCar

[uneven coral]

I'm watching IndyCar right now.

[clear field]

MotoGP sprint race is about to start

I'm watching the Indy quali

Then going to switch

[solar narwhal]

tmw this is the first time I'm watching IndyCar quali despite having watched the races occasionally for a while now

is the rounds system similar to how F1 has Q1, Q2 and Q3?

[tight quiver]

no

they split the grid in 2

Group 1 and Group 2

[clear field]

It's weird, they're separated into 2 groups

[solar narwhal]

oh

yeah that's kinda weird

[autumn thunder]

Where can watch?

[clear field]

Peacock

[solar narwhal]

^^

[tight quiver]

its based on practice results afaik

[clear field]

MotoGP is on CNBC or NBC tho

[tight quiver]

the top 6 in each group goes through to the fast 12 and the rest will end up 13th and below

[solar narwhal]

noooooo not Armstrong 😭

[tight quiver]

then the top 6 in the fast 12 go to the fast 6 to decide the pole

[uneven coral]

He's binned it.

[clear field]

warm up lap MotoGP

[solar narwhal]

well that's kinda confusing

[clear field]

MotoGP is at COTA this week yesss I love COTA

[tight quiver]

and group 1 decides the odd number spots in 13th and below and group 2 becomes the even number places below 13

[solar narwhal]

ok that's even more confusing

[tight quiver]

So if you are 7th in group 1

you are p13

[clear field]

Yes

[tight quiver]

if you are 7th in group 2

you are p14

[clear field]

Yes

If you get top 6 you move on to the next round

So in that sense it's similar to F1

[solar narwhal]

yeah I see

[clear field]

At Round 3 and Round 4 , it's exactly like F1

[tight quiver]

just different amounts of people

umbrella

[clear field]

Yeah

MotoGP!!

[uneven coral]

It's a sprint race right ?

[clear field]

Yes

12 laps

[uneven coral]

I didn't say anything guys!

[clear field]

Something happen?

[naive smelt]

FECK

[low barn]

Noo Fabio

[naive smelt]

AM MAD

he had such a good start ffs

[uneven coral]

Marcus (who I was praising earlier) has crashed his car into the wall.

[naive smelt]

His car? Wait Shawk what are you watching lmao

[uneven coral]

Indy

[low barn]

Indycar

[naive smelt]

Aaaaahhhhh

I don’t think canal + is showing this one

Oh wait it’s quali

They only show the race

[uneven coral]

How is the MotoGP race so far ?

[naive smelt]

[low barn]

Why is Pato using a new set ffs

[naive smelt]

Objectively good. Subjectively bad since Fabio had a great start and then decided to go mow the lawn

ESPARGARO DOWN

[uneven coral]

He's decided to join the "overdriving your bike club" together with Marquez.

[naive smelt]

seems so

[uneven coral]

[low barn]

What is Pato doing man

Herta out

[tight quiver]

siuuu ericsson

[timber storm]

Grosjean fastest in round 2

[tight quiver]

3

fast 6

go on speedy lad

[clear field]

MotoGP was pretty exciting. The pack is close. Camera work is great. Graphics are great.

Racing is kind of exciting, the track was difficult so there were a few crashes

[solar narwhal]

I hope Grosjean does well

[clear field]

Me too

[solar narwhal]

shame that Herta was knocked out in Q2 though

also is it just me or does Scott Dixon's livery look a lot like something you'd see in the early 2000s?

[low barn]

Pato bottled it ffs

[tight quiver]

ERICSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

P2 FOR TOMORROW

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[uneven coral]

He had the same livery since 2018.

[solar narwhal]

yeah ik

it's just that now I thought about it

[solid birch]

O ward 6th 😭

[solar narwhal]

ERICSSON P2 POG

[uneven coral]

His target livery was so much better.

[solar narwhal]

Grosjean only 3rd though 😭

and idk what that looked like

[uneven coral]

Shame he ruined his final run with that lockup.

[solar narwhal]

oh, that livery

yea it does look better kinda

it looks literally the same as the Target livery in the 90s though, not that it's a bad thing

[buoyant shale]

Shit missed Indy quali

But

IMSA in 20 mins

So makes up for that

[solar narwhal]

oh it hasn't started yet?

was worried I missed it

[buoyant shale]

Nope

[timber storm]

IMSA starts at the top of the hour

[autumn briar]

Hell yeah

[vocal oxide]

[autumn briar]

[marble willow]

The classic Target Ganassi livery

[tacit garden]

[buoyant shale]

Idk

[tacit garden]

I mean the engines sound nice

[tight quiver]

[buoyant shale]

Here we go

Sound it is

[tacit garden]

I still think its funny that the flower beds are just open on the roundabout

[gleaming totem]

Alright drivers, one last reminder at a narrow track like this

"If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver", Aryton Senna

[tacit garden]

if gap, drive

i forgot LMP2 and 3 arent in this

[buoyant shale]

GREEN GREEN GREEN

[tacit garden]

LOL

HAHAHAHAHAAH

[autumn briar]

Rip cadi

[heady marsh]

Just 1 guy

[tacit garden]

[buoyant shale]

All seems quite hastily put together also lol

[tacit garden]

the guy (forgot his name) was just asking a question to someone called jeremy but apparently isnt getting an answer

unless whenever its a pause for us, it's the other guy speaking?

[buoyant shale]

Nah seems hes alone

[tacit garden]

has any driver ever hit the dolphins

[buoyant shale]

TWO COMMENTATORS WOOO

[autumn briar]

Was Bourdais in the yellow caddy

[gleaming totem]

I don't love this strategy by the 31

Not an easy track to overtake and have incoming GT traffic

[autumn briar]

LOL

Carpark at the hairpin

[heady marsh]

that was more civilised than i was expecting

[autumn briar]

more problems for the 60

you cant park there mate

[proper zenith]

long beach moment

[gleaming totem]

What a bad stop by the 10

BMW and Porsche to the lead

[solar narwhal]

[solar narwhal]

[autumn briar]

My favorite F1 World Champion

[solar narwhal]

also Elliott is back in NASCAR

[autumn briar]

watch him immediately win the race this weekend

[solar narwhal]

that's kinda optimistic but that would be amazing

[autumn briar]

Come on Bachler, hang onto P2

fucking corvette wtfff

thats not a clean overtake

[autumn briar]

25 BMW went straight on

There is actually a chance on a Porke 1-2

Preece on pole at Martinsville

[gleaming totem]

He's gotta hold em up

Campbell racing him hard

[autumn briar]

.......

[gleaming totem]

Bumper flew off

[autumn briar]

The 10 just ran into the back of the 7

[ebon acorn]

Dammit Acura

https://tenor.com/view/abe-simpson-abe-simpson-cloud-yelling-cloud-angry-gif-12558964

[autumn briar]

I wonder why

[timber storm]

Haas comeback?

[gleaming totem]

Look, after what they did at Sebring they have every right to return the favor

[autumn briar]

I don't believe in revenge

[timber storm]

Nobel Peace Prize Nominee right here folks

[autumn briar]

Campbell is at least holding up the 10

[gleaming totem]

And almost crashed it

[autumn briar]

please dont crash please dont crash please dont crash

[ebon acorn]

Commentators got that shitternet

[autumn briar]

[tacit garden]

[tacit garden]

🇩🇪 🇩🇪 🇩🇪 🇩🇪

[gleaming totem]

He's crashed it

[autumn briar]

[tacit garden]

and the race ends like it started

with a rather silly mistake

[next lake]

F Taylor

[gleaming totem]

Least he followed my advice

[next lake]

to end

IMSA 2023 is looking good so far

[gleaming totem]

And for the first time, the Porsche 963 is a race winner

[ebon acorn]

At least an Acura took the lead at the end

[gleaming totem]

True, for a few seconds

[heady marsh]

gardener will be happy this year

[gleaming totem]

And the first ad after they come across the line, it's the 963 commercial

[ebon acorn]

look at the safety car

[next lake]

GG Jaminet

[next lake]

Defo planned

[autumn briar]

Nice race, shame of the stupid mistakes

[marble willow]

WOOOOOOO

i forgot the imsa race was today…

[timber storm]

Looks like a Haas comeback is inevitable

All 4 Haas cars qualified in the top 7

[lethal yacht]

Preece better win

[uneven coral]

I need to know how the hell does WTR throw away 2 wins when they have the fastest package out there.

[uneven coral]

After a careful analysis, I have seemingly found what was causing all this bottles /s

[autumn briar]

💀

[tacit garden]

ouch that's a big crash in Porsche cup

[royal obsidian]

yep

holy shit

uhh Red Flag is my guess

but idk

welp

that's over

lol

[tacit garden]

well, if not red flag then race end under FCY yeah

[royal obsidian]

15 minutes and then die

[uneven coral]

I will need to watch the entire replay of the IMSA, It seemed really eventful.

How long does IMSA post the replays after the races ?

[royal obsidian]

okay so Xfinity?

[wild plank]

Literal burnout

[hard tree]

Aside from Ross Chastain and Austin Dillion, were there any more drivers that used the access roads to get back on track?

[wild plank]

Dennis hamlin

[magic egret]

The burnout of all time

[eternal ravine]

Wild moment. But I have a bad feeling Nascar gonna be like "No more wall burnouts"

[marble willow]

yeah.... probably

[timber storm]

Man was on fire tonight
