Stupid
Dim witted punishment I’d say, because:
A) It’s a penalty because of something that was out of the driver’s control.
B) You put too much emphasis on a mechanic’s mistake and there are nasty outcomes for him.

Villeneuve ends WEC campaign with Vanwall after being dropped for Le Mans
The 1997 Formula 1 world champion explained in a statement issued on Wednesday that he had yet to receive any communication from the team regarding last week’s announcement that Tristan Vautier would be joining the Hypercar class squad in his place.
Villeneuve, 52, expressed disappointment with the former ByKolles team’s decision to bring in Vautier to share the Vanwall-Gibson 680 Le Mans ...Keep reading

Does this mean Penske will also win Le Mans ⁉️

It's one of the few big races he hasn't won
Vanwall isn’t gonna race at Le Mans at this rate
Bykolles might be getting taken to court
I think he should be allowed, them and Glickenhouse serve as backmarkers that prevent the factory teams from being last in class

Wholescale revisions for Le Mans Hypercar Balance of Performance
Toyota, Ferrari, Cadillac and Porsche have all had their minimum weights raised for the centrepiece round of the World Endurance Championship on 10/11 June.
The biggest weight increase is for the Toyota GR010 HYBRID Le Mans Hypercar, which won the opening three rounds of the 2023 WEC.
It has been hit with a 37kg increase, while the Porsche 963 LMDh has had its minimum weight increased by ...Keep reading

Should Korea join MotoGP calendar?
Whether Korea should join the MotoGP calendar or not depends on many factors. Here are some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of adding Korea to the MotoGP calendar:
Advantages:
- New market: Korea is a significant market for motorcycle manufacturers, and adding a race in Korea could help to expand the sport's global reach.
- Infrastructure: Korea has well-developed infrastructure and could build a world-class facility to host a MotoGP race.
- Fan base: Korea has a growing motorsports fan base, and adding a MotoGP race could help to increase interest in the sport among Korean fans.
Disadvantages:
- Competition: Korea would be entering a highly competitive market, with many established MotoGP races already on the calendar.
- Cost: Building a world-class facility, promoting the event, and paying the race fee to MotoGP would likely be costly.
- Logistics: Hosting a MotoGP race requires a significant amount of logistical support, and Korea would need to ensure that it has the necessary resources to do so.
In conclusion, whether Korea should join the MotoGP calendar or not is a complex decision that would depend on many factors. While there are advantages and disadvantages to adding Korea to the calendar, ultimately, the decision would depend on whether the country believes that it can successfully host a world-class MotoGP event and whether it is willing to invest the necessary resources to do so.

Can an unmodified indycar last a 24h le mans race
Considering the fact indycars can run at 350+ kmph for 2 hours straight in indy 500, surely they would stand a better chance in lasting a full 24h le mans race than an f1 car right?
well given you can refuel an IndyCar in a pit box, yes
they are quite reliable too

since all the national championships and the world championships ran the same cars

what is this road in detroit 💀
they really be ditching Belle isle for this 🤦♀️
I’m on the fence of either watching the race or not. These roads looks like ass and the track layout looks like ass
Tracks gonna suck, only way it'll be fun if there's chaos, and with that road there is going to be chaos
I will watch it though because there will likely be Nashville levels of chaos
what I noticed was that the track just...only turn 1 is wide enough to fit two cars
everything else is the same deal of "try the outside, eat the tyres"
Yeah, this isn’t going to go well
If it was F1 I would criticise the action being just because of chaos
Turn 8 looks like the only place where there's going to be an overtaking opportunity.
in a way I'm excited but I've been on edge of wanting chaos with the recent accident on the 500

Hornish was a fabulous driver, though
WAIT, WHY THE HELL IS GIL DE FERRAN ALSO HERE?! …and why is he in a Reynard CART chassis?
So annoyed he left to join Nascar
Didn’t become part of the class that moved from all ovals to mostly conventional tracks
I cant even be surprised anymore, as here's Luyendyk somehow back in the Domino's liveried car....
True
Would have been interesting to see him make that adjustment
Is a interesting thing for the likes of Dixon, Kanaan and Helio
No wait, that’s Al Unser Jr.
Luyendyk is in the Provimi liveried car.
Well before they turned part time
All in all I've just been taught that Nascar needs to be respected, since nobody has ever jumped from a different series and won a lot
Wonder how they feel and have felt about it
I dont even care anymore, as WE HAVE A SPIN AND A CAUTION!!! It's....Danny Sullivan? Is he going to win this race?
Franchitti did so well in every car except Stock cars, makes you think
Well, I think that Bobby Rahal in the Truesports car might have a shot on the restart
Stock cars are a thing certainly
It is so distinct
But I don’t think it makes a driver a top driver
And we've got Hinch in the pitlane for the interview, we will be interviewing Newman Haas team boss Carl Haas...
i think it's too far removed from other series to be compared, but one thing is proven is that being a brilliant F1 drivers gives you no guarantee of winning in Nascar
Dario was very good in the IR-05
DW12 not so much
There was a reason for that again but I need to find it
Dario did well in endurance racing too
Good driver all round
my favorite genre of driver has to be the underrated driver that has won in so many different cars yet they're underrated since they didn't do F1
Drivers like Dario
I know Pirro drove in F1, but damn he was really impressive.
Meanwhile there is Johnny Cecotto.
Superturismo champion of 1995
In the Audi
Handy on two and 4 wheels
Back to the Dario DW12 thing
It was because of left foot braking and no stick shift
He won everything that was possible with Audi.
True, he was a great touring car driver as well a two wheeled champion. Best driver/rider from Venezuela for sure, and i think he was as good as Surtees since motorsport was just infinitely more competetive in Cecotto's time
Yvan Muller
Marco Werner?
Just listing off Supertouring people tbh
1998 BTCC champion
But they were excellent
Cecotto is a massively underrated guy
Yvan raced for so long
Rydell looked on for a great endurance career early on
Then became the darling of Volvo's supertouring programme
quite random how he was paired with Lammers
In the 94
Speaking of underrated Swedish drivers, do y’all know about Anders Olofsson?
Nope
Nope, what did he do?
Weirder how Ralf Schumacher was considered by TWR
In 1994 lmao
I just love that era
He did a lot with Nissan in his racing career, with him winning the 1989 JTCC title with Masahiro Hasemi and the Reebok R31 Skyline, plus him being one of the winners of the 1991 Spa 24 Hours, also won by a Skyline. He even got a class win at Le Mans once
Supertouring in the British championship specifically was just so excellent
If I wanted to go to any previous motorsport event it would be Brands 98 BTCC round
Shoudve joined smh imagine a Schumacher in the BTCC at that point
Also i just love how pre superlicense drivers came from anywhere as long as they were quick. The current ladder sucks
Brands 95 for me
It’s a shame he died in the 2000’s
That's quite sick
I think that must've been the single most talented pool of touring car drivers we've ever had in a championship
Might I add he was on the podium for the infamous 1992 Bathurst 1000?
Oh for sure
Actually V8 Supercars in some era close to that might compete but that's it
All the best came to Britain
I just have to wonder if that hypothetically continued into the 2000s who we would have got
No disrespect to Neal and Plato
Didn't Mansell drive the Mondeo in 1998?
And Giovinardi
Oh was he? Interesting
They would be in there though
Drove it a few times
But in official rounds it was 98
A strong rivalry between Ford and Nissan exploded after the 1992 Bathurst 1000. After a severe storm brought the race to an end short of its scheduled distance, Jim Richards and Mark Skaife were declared the winners, despite Richards crashing the car during the final green flag lap. Richards and Skaife along with teammates Anders Olofsson and Ne...
Olofsson was 3rd
McRae also drove a BMW in the BTCC
Very cool
Steve Soper
I assume who we would have got in the 00s would be those who raced in the European series
And then WTCC
Hmm… Speaking of Soper
Steve Soper's first and only top 10 runoff for the 1987 James Hardie 1000 at Mount Panorama Bathurst behind the wheel of the infamous Eggenburger Texaco Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, the first year of running the RS500 package as this had been homologated earlier in 1987.
All rights and credit goes to Channel 7 Sport, Australia.
For historic and ...
2001 was bad but then it did get better again after that
Just not supertouring levels
Soper was great out in Germany
Couldn’t quite put a season together in the UK
Bar the tainted championship that was taken away with Rover
Oh yeah, I just remembered that Klaus Ludwig drove the Texaco Sierra
Got to blame Tom Walkinshaw for running his mouth too much for that one
Think it was 88 but i remember whenever Soper showed up to the newly renamed BTCC he'd win or atleast fought all race with then best Andy Rouse
Yeah well that was the class era unfortunately
I mean it was suprising he didn’t beat Winkelhock in 93
Had everything going for him
Winkelhock defo carried BMW before they did eventually leave
Jo Winkelhock is a pretty good driver
For sure
The most interesting rumour for me was Prost at Renault for 95
Idk if he would have been properly motivated for that though
Obviously wasn’t possible because Frank had given Will Hoy a contract
But having a 4 time formula one world champion there would have been ideal
If he was focused on it I think a great chance of that championship against Vauxhall and Volvo
Alain Menu VS Alain Prost
Hehe
That would have been an elite line up
Menu finding his feet at the time with Prost there
A Franco-Swiss masterclass

I was just wondering when it starting.
bimmer slow
Timur being fast, that's a new one.
marciello merchant
Woah, Shwartzman.
:newspaper: | F3 Barcelona: O'Sullivan holds off Browning for second win of 2023
cool that you can open both the combined times and the session times itself on the live timing site
Rossi had already damaged his car before leaving the pits
Boutsen VDS unsafe release
Unlike in Monza.
Gounon found 6 tenths in S1 alone?
Shittler in 2nd.
😭
Okay Fastest Bimmer is the WRT
Ill take that
I wanna see Timur start the race
That'd be entertaining to watch
It'll be a Ferrari sweep if Timur starts.
BMW might have an advantage in the race since they are fast on the straight
The Q3 times alone
Gounon and Lello are super fast today
merc in general tbf
Which link you copied to the extension?
Something tells me that this will be Ferrari's race.
Their straight line speed is also great.
What I usually do is go to the site and there I can go to their live timing
And once I open one of them I get to popup from T71 to launch it
Ah, thanks.

Is it not???
Thank you kind sir
Paul Ricard is sentimental yeah but otherwise I think my fave would be either Monaco or Brazil or if we get out of F1 then Le Mans
Iron Dames are here too
haven't seen them much today though
Hahahaha what happened to the 87
Bro just lost it mid corner
BoP changes between qualifying and the race at Paul Ricard:
+20kg for Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo
-15kg for Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2
#FanatecGT #GTWorldChEu
Mercedes really be getting BoP'ed every time just after Qualifying
man i wanna see the GT3s completely unrestricted
just has to fit in the GT3 regs
with no BOP or power changes
to see what the best car is
would probably be the merc
pollard is kil
Nooo the bollard
lamobrghini has lost rear bumper
Fuck
I like that they dont use the chicane
I forgot there was also Andrezj Lewandowski in Pro-am.
Marschall has damage on that front splitter
😭
Anything happened in the last 20 minutes?
Vervisch car has an issue and pitted
Can they undercut the #88?
Sure the 88 was in traffic
Here we go.
Drudiiiiii
YES THEY CAN.
Now can he keep it
:newspaper: | Split Detroit pits causing entry and exit issues for IndyCar drivers
he has the fastest andorran on the planet on his ass
I think undercut or overcut that Mercedes could just catch the others.
There we go, the #88 has just done the fastest time.
Which means Jules finally got his tyres up to temperature, and it would be only a matter time where he would re-gain the lead.
Never mind, Drudi has just extended his gap. 💀
lmao
IndyCar Quali is on now.
baku if it was bad
This track is narrow and bumpy.
Reminds me of Pau
@autumn briar why you got a phone number in ur username 

bmw is fast
For Le Mans next week
Ah ok

Hoping Garage 56 does well
Blue pink car is Armstrong ?
That was Devlin DeFrancessco.
Who has that blue and pink livery then, I really like it but can;t identify the driver
Ohh, thanks 
Indy quali time
Gachet vs Weerts 👀
oop loose something
Weerts better gets him quick
Wittmann is approaching quickly
some car just got lego'd
Someone's suspension assembly just fell off.
watch the cars of Indianapolis
damn this track is tight
and bumpy though that chicken
Looks like an abandoned track lmao
sure doesnt feel like a new track
well they didnt repave anything so largely due to that
i like the pit lane tho
Helio sbin
at the... main straight?
lol
(the backstraight i should say)
the long one
Caldarelli spin
Heartbreak for @nolan_siegel!
The race leader slowed on the final 2 corners with a gearbox issue.
#INDYNXT // #DetroitGP
thats what you call a big weenie
NOOOOOOO
Alright Im out
good night
Can Shwartzman get him?
It was Daniel Serra right?
fucking robbed again
RLL moment
Man Canapinos english is so impressive
DONT FUCKING TEASE US YOU ASSHOLES
YOU KNOW WE SHOULDVE BEEN THERE EVERYONE KNOWS IT
I miss Belle Isle so much.
And the IMSA races there were also good.
@autumn briar You're not watching anymore?
nop im pissed off
Belle Isle just too small and very bumpy glad they moved the track but not the celebration
Now indy?
idk
this is wayyyy more bumpy lol
and wayyy more narrow
quali is on ye
You just described this new street course by this.
Lets goo oward out
That guy is a mood
I’ve been on these streets in Detroit and it’s not that bad
well it sure looks a million times worse then you describe when the IndyCars are actually driving around
probably because theyre going a ton faster then you do when you just drive around in your normal car
Going from Belle Isle to Downtown seems like a downgrade, but let's see the race tomorrow.
Yeah, this is way too much bumpy compared to Belle Isle.
And it's pole for Alex Palou.
THIS IS WHY PALOU IS THE GREATEST SPANISH DRIVER OF ALL TIME
oh there is the guy who thinks he is immortal
Who?
Eng is now P2.
timur 💀
Did the ferrari get penalised
No further action.
yes stimo be better than pato

:newspaper: | IndyCar Detroit: Palou takes pole, Andretti cars hit the wall
Michelins>>>
they commited murder my favorite car
Off with their heads
This means they will have to win the 24hs of Spa next month
Lello is in the #88 now.

:newspaper: | Palou: “Crazy” Detroit track is too tight, too short for IndyCars
Caldarelli's slowing down.
This is the dream start for Rowe so far.
Now watch BMW get BOPed because of this
So Id rather want someone else to win
I didnt think Id say this today but COME ON LELLO
I'm not rooting for anybody since the #30 got engine issues, so here I am.
Watching this race as a neutral.
Williams, Simmenauer and Krutten.
Did they retire too?
Yep.
Something related to the engine.
At least there's still the #46 and the Bronze car.
Half the garage of WRT already packing their bags 😭
Lello is fast
fastest on track rn
If you see him drive every week in GT3 its incredible he never got a chance in F1
Sparkssss
Thats the 81
Aw thats Juffalis car
Ouch, that's the car Aron drives.
:newspaper: | McLaughlin: IndyCar drivers criticizing new Detroit track “need to relax”
shut up bot we're chatting here
"Lello is slowing down"
Bro his last lap is a full second faster than the car in front
Wow Timur is fast

Garage 59, Garage 56 man these team names are so confusing
COME ON LELLO
Fuck
STOLZ YOU FUCK
He left the track and gained an advantage
He's got an easy pass now.
NO
NOOOO
Why didn't Stolz just give him the place back, he would've lost so much less time
real
Less than 1.8 between Niederhause and Lello.
This guy's unbelievable.
Nice save wow
Patric tried to block him?
Even vs Stolz, Lello was so much faster in the corners
Either way it has prevented Raffaele to have a run at Patric in T1.
they're both catching Yelloly
1.9 seconds what the hell.
Round the outside fucking hell
So hows it going
Idek what race is happening
Gt World Challenge Europe at Paul Ricard.
its always in the channel description
Yeah but that’s an extra 2 swipes and I’m lazy
meanwhile in Detroit
why even thought that circuit would be a good idea
So who am I supporting
it looks shit and way too narrow
the 85 Iron Dames that just retired
That’s still racing
I'd keep and eye our on Marciello he's on a charge and he's way faster than everyone else
Ok
Yelloly short stinting?
damn
Come on Lello
HAH they came out behind
lmfao
6s behind lello 😭
yup
Niederhauser and Stolz might pull an overcut on Yelloly
Niederhauser pits
Oh my
Which Paul Ricard config is it?
Yelloly just got past
GP config
GTWC doesn't have the chicane on the mistral straight other than that its the same as F1 I think
Bro
Yes
Average Lamborghini race.
Theyre dropping like flies
“They need to fit a revolving door to that garage” 😭
Iron Lynx should just go to Porsche or something for GT3
@karmic island
Oh tyty
I can't remember a GT3 race that's not DTM where a Lambo has won
Problem is they can't take a step back now, can they?
yeh
They've got an LMDh project coming up for next year as well, I hope that doesn't go bad.
I remember they were on pole for the Spa 24h last year....until they weren't.
If blomqvist was racing, he would be dominating (real)
:newspaper: | Dixon: IndyCar Detroit GP winner could be “last man standing”

Did anybody see what happened in the Michelin Pilot Challenge race?
lol the BMW just casually continues
Just stepped on the throttle while being on the tyre barriers.
Why is James Calado no longer driving the GT Ferraris?
Nvm, forgot he drove for Risi Competizione in IMSA.
Well Fuoco is also driving now as we speak, so it could be either that or something else.
I think he only drove the 296 this year at Daytona.
Thought he was at Monza too but it was just Pier Guidi
Nice they're giving Schwartzman now a chance
We're going to look at Shwartzman the same way we're looking at Marciello now in a matter of years.

(I'm still hoping he gets his shot elsewhere, but it's better to be doing this than waiting on the sidelines and doing nothing.)
Yeah
But I'm happy to see him doing well in Sportscars generally.
Hypercar, IndyCar or even F1 (which is a stretch by the looks of things) would be his step up, but he has a great platform where to showcase what he's capable of.
they thought it was monster trucks
That was one race to forget
damnit
Mercedes 1-2
BOP'ed after qualifying and still dominate
Now all eyes on Le Mans
Do you think it'd be a good move for him to move to FE, or better stay in sportscar racing and aim for that Hypercar seat?
If an IMSA team ever operates a customer Ferrari he might get one of those seats
Or if Ferrari decide to put in another entry of the 499P in WEC (which would most likely be number 70) I’m sure Robert would be one of the first picks
What about Nielsen
I doubt they run three full-time entries but a 3rd one for Le Mans is definitely possible and have seen it many times before
