[uneven coral]

Power just came out of nowhere and now he's P3.

[marble willow]

I mean, he had 0 seconds left

So it was probably gonna be inevitable

[desert panther]

Power is obviously charging to P2 now 😝😝 i cannot take this anymore 🦾

[desert panther]

also he's team penske immediate agenda

[eternal ravine]

not to be confused with the other Scott from New Zealand

[trim mirage]

You can buy an Indycar chassis for $350,000. Would be the ultimate sim racer setup.

[desert panther]

I mean i dont need an IndyCar chassis i can just get some crap car

As a result, the biggest spending F1 team Ferrari will run on an estimated budget of $470 million in 2013. This is more than 30 times the estimated $15 million budget of the leading IndyCar teams such as Ganassi and Andretti Autosport.

I was at a bottle factory the other day. I saw Romain Grosjean standing on a pole bottling. The way he displays his bottling skills from pole one weekend after another is spectacular. Romain Grosjean truly is one of the greatest bottlers of our generation.

[desert panther]

I'd repeat this BUT

To be fair right

Andretti race pace sucks massive cock

The next Andretti car is in P12

[thorn marten]

so does rogro.

[desert panther]

Valiant effort

[eternal ravine]

Tom Cruise Fudge Packer Vibes

[lethal yacht]

Honestly they made regs to promote better racing but it just gave one team the advantage and it is running away from everyone else, and they changed the regs at the worst time, when there was competition

They should make f1 a semi spec series

[marble willow]

Oh, here comes power...

[lethal yacht]

That would make closer racing

[desert panther]

RoGro career highlights 🔥

even when there wasn't that much passing there was still a lot of strategy intrigue. Think it was a solid like 8.5

[marble willow]

Yes/10

exactly

why not just scotty mates

But still Scotty Mac 😎🇳🇿

[buoyant shale]

True maybe better

[desert panther]

better have scotty mac win than Newgarden and scotty actually apologized for his crash with mr groever so like, I'm happy for him i think he deserves it

[lofty plover]

trash driver. lemme just stop into indy car and steal all these wins. give other people some chances bro

[buoyant shale]

?

[lofty plover]

drivers should stay in their lane bro 😭

[buoyant shale]

Whats bluds sayin

[lofty plover]

bro is a supercar driver. stay in supercars dont come over here and spoil all these wins for actual indycar drivers

[marble willow]

what

What are you talking about

[frozen plank]

what.

[marble willow]

Is this dude trying to gatekeep drivers from other series from racing in Indycar?

[frozen plank]

that just shows how good of a driver he is. being able to adapt like he is

[lofty plover]

nah i find it extremely annoying. taking a seat from another indycar driver/rookiee

[frozen plank]

top 5 worst opinions ive seen on this discord tbh

[tight quiver]

SVG should hop over and race in indycar

[marble willow]

I guess F1 drivers who come to Le Mans and win there should not be allowed to spoil race wins for actual Endurance Racing drivers according to this logic

[tight quiver]

would be fun

[thorn marten]

1-4 are yours

[thorn marten]

fernando alonso sobbing rn

[lofty plover]

welp its my opinion and im not gonna change lol. i think its extremely annoying af. I hate Scott ML

[marble willow]

Nico Hulkenberg sobbing rn

[tight quiver]

average dennis hauger fans opinions be like

[thorn marten]

penis pauger on his constant bottling:

[marble willow]

Well, if you insist on gatekeeping other drivers from racing and winning in different disciplines of motorsport then whatever

[lofty plover]

also considering he ruined like 3 of grosjeans races 🤡

[cobalt meteor]

who

grosjean ruined grosjean's race today tbh

[marble willow]

Mhm

Even though Grosjean was gonna get passed anyway

cause 0 seconds of P2P

[cobalt meteor]

that's why he ruined his race

how do you have 0 seconds left with 22 laps remaining

[marble willow]

I dunno. This was the complete opposite of his situation at Long Beach when he had dozens more to spare compared to Kirkwood

[cobalt meteor]

man's went to the opposite end of the spectrum

[marble willow]

I guess we'll have to keep waiting

[uneven coral]

There's no inbetween, either 0 or have loads of P2P left.

[buoyant shale]

What do you think about Grosjean, Ilott, Lundgaard, Ericsson, all those then

[marble willow]

And Agustin Canapino

[buoyant shale]

Yknow folk that were in F1 or in the F1 feeders and then went to IndyCar

[marble willow]

He came from Touring Cars like Mclaughlin

[buoyant shale]

Yeah, Argentinian touring car driver

[lofty plover]

but the thing is, they werent successful in their previous series. mclaughlin was a big champion. already successful

[buoyant shale]

Part of the appeal of IndyCar for me is that all worlds seem to come together

[buoyant shale]

That doesnt mean you arent allowed to take up a completely new challenge tho?

[uneven coral]

Pato is still second in the championship, woo.

[lofty plover]

idk maybe my take is just because im fuming 💀💀

anyways yeah stupid take

[buoyant shale]

I find it great when champions of one motorsport series try out other forms of racing also

[lofty plover]

sorry everyone

i really want that grosjean win man

[marble willow]

I did too.

[fluid cobalt]

Wait till bro finds out about Emerson fittipaldi

[marble willow]

But I'll take a Mclaughlin win

[buoyant shale]

I just really didnt get your take since Scotty is an absurdly good driver and an amazing person also

[lofty plover]

i think its cause he keeps beating grosjean man 😭

[final kernel]

man

[uneven coral]

They seemed frustrated to me since the beginning and I know that take was out of emotion and not out of rational thinking.

[marble willow]

Ericsson is still first in the championship, not surprising there

[buoyant shale]

Which Canapino also is btw
4 time champ of Turismo Carretera, 2 time champ of Super TC2000, so basically the biggest name in Argentine motorsport rn

[uneven coral]

Canapino is doing really well at the moment, especially when you bear in mind this is his first time competing in Open Wheelers.

[buoyant shale]

Ah yeah i get that your a Grosjean fan but yeah, do need to keep feelings under control ig

[marble willow]

Dale Sr. doing the 24 Hours of Daytona with Corvette Racing
not to mention other NASCAR drivers like Jeff Gordon trying their hand at the 24 Hour race (and even winning it)

[twin holly]

Again,Grosjean didn't win the race right?

[buoyant shale]

Yeah im surprised also

Also surprised how pretty good Juncos is this year

Ofc not frontrunners but still, midfield quite often

[marble willow]

Mclaughlin won

Grosjean P2

[buoyant shale]

Im impressed Juncos is also able to field 2 decently good cars this year whilst being such a small team

[uneven coral]

They manage to be in the mix still, luck didn't come their way as of now, but once it will, they for sure will capitalise on it.

[uneven coral]

This is the reason why I love spec series.

The small teams can always find a fantastic team of engineers and enjoy their short lived success as the underdogs before they get poached by the big teams.

[lethal yacht]

someone here watches wec?

[uneven coral]

Yes.

[lethal yacht]

(they wear ear plugs)

[autumn briar]

It was not bad actually, The Caddy was definitely the highlight. I had earplugs with me but I didn't use them, I had more problems with the Spa 24hs cause the noise was just constant.

I was glad at one point there was a SC at the 24hs cause it got pretty bad.

Probably also cause I sat at the Kemmel straight back then, that's a little bit closer to the cars than at Eau Rouge.

[uneven coral]

Oh yeah at least there's a bit of a decent field spread in the WEC races that gives the opportunity for your ears to rest.

[autumn briar]

Sad one of the caddys broke in front of us

[uneven coral]

Spa 24h on the other hand must be hell with the many car entries and the close field spread.

[autumn briar]

Yeah

[uneven coral]

That looked scary on TV, I can't imagine how it was for you guys over there.

(and my heart nearly stopped since I watched what happened there in F2 2019)

[autumn briar]

Yeah that was a scary impact, I was worried for Renger but it's incredible how safe these cars are.

Really glad for that.

[lethal yacht]

should i start watching it, like i saw in hypercar there r more manufacters, but does it have big competition?

[uneven coral]

The safety changes in Eau Rouge/Radillion also helped.

[autumn briar]

Also the barrier at Eau Rouge did perfect work yeah there were like four layers of tyres and techpro in front of that.

[uneven coral]

Definitely, in Hypercars it's a bit of lonely at the top situation for Toyota but Ferrari might be a lot closer in Le Mans, and the rest it's a bit of a fight between the Porsche, Cadillacs and also the Ferraris when something happens to them.

[autumn briar]

Multi class racing is the best

[uneven coral]

My piece advice, just don't focus too much on one class, you'd have to enjoy the series wholly, since that's the point.

[lethal yacht]

alr thanks

You're welcome!

Big day in racetrack design history

Senna's unfortunate death ofc started a giant shift in track design safety in Europe and well, SAFER barrier in oval racing

[thorn hawk]

i dont understand why safer barriers arent on all of the walls in indy, they’re only in the corners

[timber storm]

Bc not many crashes happen on the straights compared to the corners

Only tracks i think have safer barriers on the straights are Daytona and Talladega due to the fact they're Superspeedways

He objectively doesn't

At least not since they started focusing on them

[wild plank]

Truex W

[zenith spoke]

Truex sweep

[bright oar]

Can someone explain stages in Nascar to me, like why each stage has a winner but the last stage winner is the big one lol

[zenith spoke]

its a gimmick they pull that like the top 10 gets points I think

[lethal yacht]

Basically, people were whining about the races not having enough cautions. So NASCAR implemented "stages," which are basically sprint races, like F1. The leader at the end of each stage gets 10 points, and 10th gets 1 point. These points are awarded towards the Playoffs standings and determine whether a driver gets in the Championship fight or not. Stage 3 (4 for Charlotte because 100 laps per each stage) is where the real race begins.

[bright oar]

Is there any difference in racing in Stage 3/4 compared to Stage 1/2 ?

[lethal yacht]

As I mentioned earlier, stage 3 (4 for Charlotte) is the actual race, and it determines the overall race finish. Stage 1 & 2 are basically just sprints

In case you end up wrecking out the race during the final stage, the Playoff points you acquire in the first stages are a type of buffer to keep you in the fight for the Title.

[bright oar]

Yes I've read it but I'm asking if they drivers change their strategy or the way they race during last stage compared to those 'sprints'. Or if rules change during last stage as well

[lethal yacht]

Rules remain the same but some drivers will hold back and save their stuff for later on in the event, while others will risk it for the biscuit and try to win the stage.

Very unfortunate that NASCAR nowadays values entertainment over common sense

[bright oar]

Oh alright, thanks for explaining

[lethal yacht]

No problem 👍

[uneven coral]

I know this circuit because Mehdi Bennani won in it in WTCC.

[buoyant shale]

[autumn briar]

[tight quiver]

WRT didn't know Spa WEC LMP2 win was on until 12 minutes to go

WRT didn't know Spa WEC LMP2 win was on until 12 minutes to go

The Angolan prevailed in the #41 WRT ORECA-Gibson 07 alongside Louis Deletraz and Robert Kubica thanks to a four-second shorter final pitstop than erstwhile leader Tom Blomqvist's #22 United Autosports ORECA.
In a race disrupted by four safety cars, the #41 crew was hampered by the timing of the third when Jacques Villeneuve's Vanwall Hypercar clashed with the GTE Am Ferrari of Francesco ...Keep reading

This is why LMP2s are the best

I never thought we would see Endurance Racing on a Street Circuit in this decade. I thought we would have to wait until there is some GT EV Series

Actually now that I think of it, Le Mans is mostly a street Circuit

Long Beach: am I a joke to you?

[eternal ravine]

Long Beach isn't an Endurance Race

[buoyant shale]

1h 40min aint an endurance race ye

Nordschleife is legally an one way toll road so a street circuit

[foggy fulcrum]

if you wrote a novel about NASCAR, where one brother got his first Xfinity win, in the #19 JGR Supra, and the other got his first Cup win in 54 races, mirroring his first ever Cup win, in the #19 JGR Camry, it’d feel trite

Porsche expects Balance of Performance change before Le Mans 24 Hours

Porsche expects Balance of Performance change before Le Mans 24 Hours

Thomas Laudenbach, head of Porsche Motorsport, made the claim before and after last weekend’s Spa 6 Hours round of the 2023 WEC, after there was no BoP revision for the Belgian race following the opening two events of the season at Sebring in March and Portimao in April.
Asked if there could be a change following Spa, he replied. “Which we all know is going to come.
“We clearly expect ...Keep reading

le mans is part street circuit

the mulsanne straight is part of a highway

spa-francorchamps and the nürburgring as previously mentioned used to be public roads

so yes, endurance on street circuits is pretty normal

[buoyant shale]

well the Nürburgring legally still is (and always has been), Spa isnt anymore

[lethal yacht]

its kinda mixed on the nürburgring, since you need a special licence to drive on it, even outside of races

just because its a super bumpy and curvy road with not really enough safety measures tbf

[buoyant shale]

Might not even reach autobahn standards

probably doesnt tbf

[lethal yacht]

yeah its rough

but thats part of the charm!

the paved roads of green hell wouldnt be the same without all the silly messages written on them

and you couldnt have those if it were a higher grade circuit

[buoyant shale]

Funny that highway/autobahn standards used to be better then racetrack safety standards

Lime Rock Park for example was one of the safest tracks out there when it opened, build to interstate highway safety standards and introduced some safety things that found its way onto those interstate highways like, yknow those giant barrels filled with sand on exits that you see in mostly the US on offramps? Well those were first a thing at Lime Rock Park
