Thankfully they seem to finally be calming down

sucks that they clash as both have potential to be very fun races

[modern sun]

I like both series about equally & I just found the whole thing petty and annoying

Agreed. I'm just resolving to watch both at the same time (F1 on my TV via F1TV bc my brother & mom are watching it too and Indy on my iPad Pro via TSN+)

No ads on Viaplay not even the weird quiet moments without commentary when ads are happening

[buoyant shale]

and most of IndyCar is on NBC anyways, not that much on USA anymore

[foggy fulcrum]

My man the only reason people think Hybrid causes bad noise is thanks to F1 and F1 uses the MGU - H which takes heat from the engine so that it doesnt combust, causing less noise, causing worse noise

See WEC/IMSA for good hybrid noise

Power has loads of P2P.

Power technically could go to the end.

He should know where Herta is lifting and coasting and try his move there.

I see pictures of Renger Van der Zande and Sébastien Bourdais, so I assume it’s across every championship CGR competed in.

[tight quiver]

They didn't feature their one racing win I XE

Inb4 they actually have 251 because they forgot that

[foggy fulcrum]

Race victories
Total: 250
CART/CCWS: 40
Indycar: 86
NASCAR Cup Series: 27
NASCAR Xfinity Series: 22
ARCA Racing Series: 5
Rolex: 41
IMSA: 21

i assume they're just going off what wikipedia says lol

i don't… know what rolex means there

ah

I would definitely write "grand-am" if i were them but whatever

[timber storm]

CGR also had a decent nascar team too

with drivers like kurt busch, kyle larson and others

[foggy fulcrum]

27 cup wins and 22 xfinity wins

74 pts behind the championship leader Palou

I have a strong feeling Palou is gonna win this title

Unless things go south for him unexpectedly

Unless Palou becomes Grosjean,that's not going to happen

DELUSION

BASKETBALL PLAYERS SCORE TOO OFTEN THAT ITS ALMOST MEANINGLESS

[foggy fulcrum]

it’s pure

[lethal yacht]

nahhh this is seethium

[marble willow]

So an abundance of overtakes is a bad thing????

And F1 should have more while Indycar should have less???

[foggy fulcrum]

that’s what they’re saying yes

[marble willow]

Holy mother of Kanaan, this is gonna need some huge mental gymnastics

[foggy fulcrum]

honestly it’s not even like it’s… NASCAR or something

where the explicit aim of the rules is to encourage overtaking

IndyCar is just a normal racing series lmao

[marble willow]

How tf would Indycar reduce the amount of on track passes anyway?

[foggy fulcrum]

delete push to pass

[marble willow]

Implement BoP.

[foggy fulcrum]

it’s a spec car

[marble willow]

In that case, implement a weight ballast system similar to Super GT and BTCC

No wait

Scratch that

[foggy fulcrum]

no it’s obvious, you get rid of the spec car

make all the teams build their own

[marble willow]

Yeah. Should’ve said that

[foggy fulcrum]

also implement a sprint race between qualifying and the race

which sets the grid for the race

that way early mechanical issues become non-issues and bad qualifying results are overcome by the time the race starts

[marble willow]

penske and mclaren being the only teams who built cars for Indycar and F1 back then

They’d be at the top

[foggy fulcrum]

macca can’t even be at the top of F1 now

[marble willow]

Yep

Hmm… I’m kinda thinking Mclaren being a double edged sword in this scenario considering how they aren’t doing well in F1. Eh, but it’s Indycar. Completely different sport.

[lethal yacht]

is indycar a spec series?

the teams are usually pretty inconsistent with their performances

[marble willow]

Yes

And it has been for quite a while

Over the course of Indycar’s history (and during the split,) different chassis manufacturers were around at the same time.

Lola
March
Penske
Reynard
Panoz
Mclaren
And even Porsche!

[uneven coral]

It is indeed.

[uneven coral]

You'd often see the likes of Penske, CGR, Andretti in the top 10 each race.

And AMSP as of recently. (since 2020)

[twin holly]

You have to apply the same logic as in F2 or F3,it's a spec series but some teams have the most resources,the best personnel and drivers to make sure they're able to win

[foggy fulcrum]

spec chassis, there’s two powertrain manufacturers though

[marble willow]

Honda and Chevrolet

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah which is the same as Formula E and the NASCAR Cup Series among others

[twin holly]

The only big differential is that we have Honda and Chevy doing engines,and while they provide the same horsepower,there's the slight noticeble details which are fuel consumption,reliability and so on

[uneven coral]

There are also the dampers that every team is free to develop.

[tight quiver]

tbh thaats a good way to make cars equal but not the same

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah although it’s kinda backfired in Cup

the field is now a little too similar

it’s impossible to pass on some tracks

[lethal yacht]

amazing

nascar continue to be the butt of every joke

[eternal ravine]

Wait til you hear about 1955 😳

[frank lodge]

i heard about it

it was worse than i thought

[marble willow]

I think that should have been spoilered

[frank lodge]

yeah its worse

[eternal ravine]

@frank lodge heads up. Don't post pictures like that

[frank lodge]

ok

so this is what cars looked like back then

[marble willow]

80+ deaths

Switzerland banning motorsports

The worst accident in motorsports history

Mercedes withdrawing from motorsports

[frank lodge]

then after that, mercedes-amg was born

this was f1 cars before?

[marble willow]

It wasn’t until 1989 that Mercedes won Le Mans (and the world sports car championship) with Sauber

[frank lodge]

dang

[inland frigate]

It looks like those racing games where you pick a stage where everyone is playing a default variation and you pick the dumbest/more powerful custom one.

[frank lodge]

💀

[marble willow]

They followed up their success by defending their 1989 title and winning the 1990 WSCC title

Shame Sauber never turned up to Le Mans that year

[frank lodge]

m&m liveries

[frail bramble]

Cool

[marble willow]

The reason being that Le Mans wasn’t a championship round

[frank lodge]

nascar is super interesting when it comes to cars

[inland frigate]

We had Nascar at LeMans.

Where F1 at LeMans.

[frank lodge]

they DID before

fernando alonso moment

[marble willow]

It happened in 1967, but at the Bugatti Circuit

[marble willow]

The turnout was rather bland

[frail bramble]

Wait what how did that get there is that actually racing there?

[marble willow]

It competed in and completed the full 24 hours

[frank lodge]

oh god he was using soft tyres

wtf

if only aston martin gave alonso inters in the monaco gp

[frail bramble]

What is the race exactly?

[marble willow]

The 24 Hours of Le Mans

[frank lodge]

2023 le mans

this year's le mans

[marble willow]

The world’s most famous endurance race

[frail bramble]

Yeah

[frank lodge]

you didnt have to explain that

[frail bramble]

I see much difference cars In the back of the image

Like a corvettes

[frank lodge]

they all look the same

omg cadillac

they should go to f1

because americans 🫡

[marble willow]

Different classes compete at Le Mans

LMH/LMDh
LMP2
GTE AM

The Garage 56 was a special entry

[frail bramble]

Ah oki

[frank lodge]

i was there

[frail bramble]

Agreed

[frank lodge]

i was the car

PORSCHE MY KINDA FAVORITE FORMULA E TEAM

BECAUSE MERCEDES-EQ DOESNT EXIST ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frail bramble]

?

[frank lodge]

formula e

[frail bramble]

Yeah ik that

[marble willow]

They were doing terribly doing the race. The Jota Porsche was leading at one point, but it bottled the lead shortly afterward

[frail bramble]

But the mercedes EQ doesn't exist?

[inland frigate]

I heard it was beating GTEs and even some LMP2s too, I guess america strong.

[frank lodge]

it did before

[marble willow]

It even started ahead of the GTE’s

[frank lodge]

but its now mclaren's team

[frail bramble]

Oh the race car

[frank lodge]

?

nvm

[frail bramble]

Not this

This the EQS tho not same

[frank lodge]

MAN

[frail bramble]

Cool. Asf.

[frank lodge]

sadly theyre now mclaren's team

[frail bramble]

So the car went from mercedes to mclaren?

[frank lodge]

yep

i mean, atleast we got porsche

porsche also has a cool ass livery

[frail bramble]

Yes

Very cool

[frail bramble]

Looks like a bigger complicated go kart

[frank lodge]

ong

[frail bramble]

That's like every f1 car tbh

[frank lodge]

why are the tracks oval in nascar

its kinda boring ngl just for ovals

[marble willow]

Indycar runs ovals, too

[frank lodge]

sometimes

[marble willow]

But ovals produce good racing though

[frail bramble]

What's do indycars look like I'm not sure

[frank lodge]

imagine f1 cars with windows

[frank lodge]

in other words

heh

[eternal ravine]

Indycar is pure sexton

[frail bramble]

Cool

[marble willow]

And here’s what the Indycars looked like before the Aeroscreen was introduced in 2020

The name of the chassis is the Dallara DW12. It’s been in use since 2012

[frank lodge]

a non-racing fan would say that this is an f1 car

[eternal ravine]

Who is this in the picture?

I'ma guess a Indy 500 only entry

[frank lodge]

me

[marble willow]

Ed Jones

[frail bramble]

Ayyyyy weathertech

[eternal ravine]

I'm so use to Ed Jones on the green and black car

[frail bramble]

What's the difference between indycar and F1

[eternal ravine]

Where do I start

[frank lodge]

indycar is american

[marble willow]

Indycar

Spec series
No power steering
Heavier
Faster on ovals

Push to pass

[frail bramble]

So F1 has power steering?

[frank lodge]

ig

[frail bramble]

It looks like if America tried to copy F1

[marble willow]

Uh… no

[frail bramble]

Wdym no

[marble willow]

Indycar has been around longer than F1

The first Indy 500 was held in 1911

Meanwhile the first Monaco Grand Prix was held in the 1920’s

Even though F1 didn’t exist yet at the time

[frank lodge]

hewis lamilton

[frail bramble]

How do u expect me to know that?

[marble willow]

I wasn’t expecting you to know anything. I’m just telling you about some history.

That’s all.

[frail bramble]

Oki

[timber storm]

2019 indy 500. probably the most boring and most forgettable 500 in the last 15 years

only people who enjoyed that race were pagenaud fans

[marble willow]

i guess i’m part of that

and maybe blinded by nostalgia and those last few laps between pagenaud and rossi?

[timber storm]

that was the only really enjoyable part

cus pagenaud led 116 laps that day

[marble willow]

Hold on, wasn’t 2018 really boring?

[frail bramble]

[timber storm]

nah 2018 was good

[frail bramble]

I was playing roblox at that time having fun

[timber storm]

lots of passing and a good battle for the lead

2018 was good

2017 was great

16 was ok

15 was good

14 was great

i don't remember much past those years besides who won in those years

13 kanaan won

2012 was dario iirc

2011 was dan

2010....
