omg

supergt has some scary fucking crashes

[marble willow]

yeah. matsuda's car went briefly airborne before disentegrating.

Speaking of Nismo drivers and scary accidents, there was also Mitsunori Takaboshi's crash at Fuji last year

[west notch]

yea i saw that one

[visual vine]

Engine looks as though it’s survived

[west notch]

Lmao the guys in the green supra barely lost the race

ran out of fuel

[marble willow]

That train of cars approaching the GT300, and then next thing you know Takaboshi saw it for a split second and boom.

[west notch]

i dont think there is any footage of Naoki Yamamoto's crash

but i can imagine what it looked like

[marble willow]

Wait, that was Yamamoto's car that crashed at Sugo?

[visual vine]

There won’t be anything till it’s confirmed he’s ok

[west notch]

yeah

[marble willow]

oh shit....

[visual vine]

There will be footage of it somewhere just not released yet

[west notch]

there is a theory he made contact with the 56 gt300

right before the pit entry

i think Yamamoto was on the inside of the track and the 56 tried to enter the pitlane and boom

[marble willow]

ah geez

[west notch]

the 56

[marble willow]

That's the KCMG GTR, no?

[west notch]

uh idk

I don't know any of the teams 😭

but they got 2 drive through penalties

i think 1 because he touched the car

idk what the other one was for

but he was under investigation for 3 incidents

[marble willow]

Ah. It's the Kondo GTR

[marble willow]

That doesn't really do justice to the 56 or the situation

[alpine void]

Has he been announced as okay? Cause omg

[west notch]

Uhh not really

but he was talking on the radio

[marble willow]

Wait a minute, one of the drivers for the 56 is one of the defending GT300 champions from last year

[west notch]

think the commentator mentioned an injury

[marble willow]

JP De Oliveira

i hope naoki pulls through.....

https://www.motorsport.com/supergt/news/sugo-red-flag-yamamoto-crash/10521387/

[marble willow]

We've seen Takaboshi and Matsuda's accidents, with Matsuda being airlifted to hospital, and now we have Yamamoto suffering an injury of some sort.

[west notch]

"Yamamoto was reported to be conscious and able to communicate with the team over the radio. A further update from SUPER GT stated that the 35-year-old was in pain but able to move his arms and legs."

[marble willow]

I just hope its some bruising or anything unserious

that was absolutely terrifying

[marble willow]

I would've been praying hard

[solar narwhal]

yeah that could've easily ended in a much worse way

[tight quiver]

that incident

was the first time since like kyle kirkwoods tire going flying this year that i have actually been scared of a crash in racing

[solar narwhal]

^^

also Simon Pagenaud's crash as well

[tight quiver]

yeah

you didnt have a clue where Kyle's tire was going and right now you had no clue if someone was gonna t-bone the #18

GTP Pit time

[tight quiver]

[marble willow]

Dat synchronized pit exit from the Penske Porsches

[tight quiver]

#31 good stop

[uneven coral]

#31 jumped one of the Porsches, that's how we like it.

[tight quiver]

jumped the #25 and almost jumped the #7

nope

just almost

actually he did but the #7 didnt let him in AHAHAHAHAHAH

[uneven coral]

Looked like it for a moment.

[marble willow]

GTD Pro pits

[uneven coral]

But hey, they're ahead of the RLL BMW so that's good.

[tight quiver]

I mean Vasser Sullivan

[tight quiver]

[tight quiver]

#31 jumped the #25 in pits

[marble willow]

How did I confuse RLL for Vasser Sullivan

[west notch]

hehehehehe

hahahahaha

[tight quiver]

wtf is the #31 doing

[uneven coral]

Uhh?

[tight quiver]

wave around my ass?

what are you doing Derani

[uneven coral]

Does he know he's on the lead lap?

[tight quiver]

please

he does

[marble willow]

Is Derani trying to pass???

[fierce grove]

What is happening

[tight quiver]

reordering the line behind the 2 porsches

But #31 is not supposed to be leading

he has passed the #6

[fierce grove]

Oh well

[west notch]

bruh

[tight quiver]

race ban tbh

[west notch]

cadillac want me to kms

[tight quiver]

no PLM for you

[fierce grove]

So unserious

[tight quiver]

why is #7 so far back now

[west notch]

😭

[tight quiver]

for all caddilacs

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DERANI

STAY BEHIND THE PORSCHES

YOU ARENT THE RACE LEADER

[fierce grove]

The silly 💀

[marble willow]

It looks like he doesn't wanna

[tight quiver]

WHY ARE YOU A FULL CAR LENGTH A HEAD

[west notch]

i cant even see whats happening

[fierce grove]

For... fun!

[uneven coral]

He pushed him off the track???

[marble willow]

Because he wants to

[halcyon pelican]

WTF is going on

[uneven coral]

What the hell are you doing DERANI

[fierce grove]

Goofy-ass driving

[marble willow]

He what

[tight quiver]

they almost fucking shunted

[marble willow]

Don't tell me this occurred under the SC

[uneven coral]

For a little moment he did.

[tight quiver]

DERANI WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

now hes P2

sure i can give you that

[marble willow]

[uneven coral]

Ok, now he's behind him.

[tight quiver]

but you should be P3

[fierce grove]

Lmfaooooo

[tight quiver]

you got out behind them

have a faster pitstop if you wanted to be ahead of them

sure it might have looked like this on exit

but the 2 porsches worked together

[uneven coral]

P2 at most imo.

[tight quiver]

work together with your caddy buddy if you want to lead

he was alongside tandy for more than a full lap and they almost shunted park Derani

[uneven coral]

Right, but they're way down the road, that was not possible.

[tight quiver]

why is he just given a free position

it doesnt make sense

LOOK HE JUST PASSED BOTH OF THEM

DURING FCY

[marble willow]

Wtf Derani

[tight quiver]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[uneven coral]

Derani is making me losing my shit 😭

[marble willow]

The pass stuck???

How tf

[tight quiver]

WHY IS HE AHEAD

[fierce grove]

This... is a joke, right?

[tight quiver]

WHAT THE FUCK IMSA RACE CONTROL

[west notch]

da hell

[fierce grove]

Like some kinda elaborate prank

[tight quiver]

THIS ISNT REAL

[fierce grove]

Tf is this

[uneven coral]

He's doing all of these shenanigans while his team is virtually leading GTP.

[marble willow]

You're joking

[tight quiver]

this has to be a nightmare

he is P3

[west notch]

what is actually happening?

[tight quiver]

WHY IS HE P1

[fierce grove]

This is so bizarre

[tight quiver]

WHY DID THE #31 GET THE LEAD

[west notch]

bro paid them

[tight quiver]

IM SORRY BUT YOU ARE P2 AND A HALF

[marble willow]

Is IMSA race control deliberately trying to screw with the Penske Porsches

[eternal ravine]

Not the cut to Roger 😭

He looks so grumpy

[tight quiver]

i fucking hope wait no rule 1

fucks sake

fucking cheatin caddies

[fierce grove]

I just. This is funny atp

[eternal ravine]

You hope what Danne

[marble willow]

The Penskes got the better jump out of their pitstalls, and secondly, Derani overtook both under FCY.

How in god's name

[fierce grove]

This is too silly

[tight quiver]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IMSA

THIS IS UNSERIOUS

[marble willow]

Well, we go green

[tight quiver]

COME ON PENSKES

[eternal ravine]

Crazy

I've never seen anything like this before

[tight quiver]

DONT BATTLE GUYS

GET THE FUCKING 31

WHY DID HE GET GIVEN THE LEAD FOR FREE

[marble willow]

This is the first IMSA race I'm watching, and IMSA does this shit

[uneven coral]

What the fuck man, I can't even defend this as a #31 supporter. 😭

[marble willow]

IMSA decided to say fuck you to Roger Penske on his home turf

Anyways, GTD battle

[tight quiver]

yeah well IMSA is gonna get bought by Penske at this rate

[fierce grove]

Today is a day of silly

[marble willow]

If the Caddy wins this race, then I don't even know what to say

[tight quiver]

like im actually mad

i havent been this mad at an imsa race for a while

[halcyon pelican]

I haven’t been watching IMSA in a while, did Acura get nerfed badly

[tight quiver]

or any race for that matter

[west notch]

bruh i want caddy to win but not like this

[marble willow]

P3 Penske Porsche leading a GTP train

[tight quiver]

#01 spun on the start and held both of them up for a bit

COME ON #7

[marble willow]

Cmon Weathertech Porsche

[tight quiver]

the 2 porsches had an order to pass the GTD cars and they didnt

[fierce grove]

This is so unserious

[tight quiver]

apperently

BUT THEY FUCKING DID

[marble willow]

aaand there's a drive thru penalty

[halcyon pelican]

So apparently some class split

[tight quiver]

what I heard just now from race control was that the two Porsche's where given an order to go around the gtd cars and they didn't, the 31 followed that order and that is why he way given the position. - John Hindy's wife

[halcyon pelican]

Idk???

[tight quiver]

#6 and #7 PASSED THE GTDS

BUT THE #31 JUST BOOKED IT PAST THEM

[fierce grove]

That's got to be a fucking joke

[tight quiver]

AND THE #31 WAS ALREADY LEADING BEFORE THAT BY PASSING UNDER FCY

WHAT THE FUCK IMSA

[marble willow]

This is confusing and stupid as hell

[tight quiver]

anyway #12 and #70 has had contact

[marble willow]

Inception Mclaren has problems

[solar narwhal]

back from the bathroom, what happened?

[uneven coral]

FCY shenanigans.

[solar narwhal]

nooooo not one of the McLarens 😭

[marble willow]

31 leads after passing both Porsches under FCY

[fierce grove]

RC are drinking something crazy and I want it

[uneven coral]

#31 took the overall lead during FCY by overtaking both the GTP Porsches.

[marble willow]

And that was deemed legal

just shocking

[tight quiver]

i want whatever they are smoking and drinking

[fierce grove]

And also whatever Derani is on. Whatever he's on I WANT

[marble willow]

istg if the 31 wins....

[uneven coral]

Or probably IMSA FCY rules are just dogshit.

[tight quiver]

its just made up rules

i have never seen this happen before

[solar narwhal]

who's RC?

[tight quiver]

it doesnt help that the #31 was passing during FCY

[solar narwhal]

sorry for asking lmao

[marble willow]

Same

[tight quiver]

race control

[solar narwhal]

oh

[fierce grove]

This is literally just goofy

Letting that happen was so dumb lmfao

[uneven coral]

Me neither, like I would feel much better if the #31 was P3 without all of this.

[marble willow]

CMON PENSKE PORKE

[tight quiver]

COME ON #7

[marble willow]

Here comes the traffic

[tight quiver]

[uneven coral]

https://x.com/ewanawane/status/1703474963926188149?s=46

Ewan Wane (@EwanAWane)

According to IMSA Radio:

🇬🇧 Tandy (6 Porsche) and 🇧🇷 Nasr (7 Porsche) ignored a wavearound order from Race Control

🇧🇷 Derani (31 Cadillac) obeyed, passing them in the process, and is therefore the rightful leader

Stupid yeller pork

[west notch]

why do lmp3 drivers suck

[tight quiver]

LMP3 cars are actually challenging to drive

[marble willow]

Damn, the 6 is too far back

[tight quiver]

46.5.2 is the rule

[solar narwhal]

because it's LMP3

[fierce grove]

Goofy-ass rule. Disrespectfully.

[west notch]

whats the rule

[marble willow]

well, gg to derani and the imsa race control team.

[tight quiver]

this is the rule

that doesnt mention GTP

GTP isnt apart of that rule

[marble willow]

That's ridiculous

[tight quiver]

so why are they using a rule that doesnt have GTP in it

[fierce grove]

Also Porke were doing the class split anyways

[tight quiver]

this is literally the most american motorsport moment ever

i say that i become race control for IndyCar, IMSA and NASCAR

solo race control

first thing im gonna do is park Joey Logano at every race

[solar narwhal]

[fierce grove]

Good

[solar narwhal]

I can get behind that

[tight quiver]

no matter what series

[marble willow]

Yeah, the 6 ain't getting the 31 anytime soon

[uneven coral]

Is this the part where Marcus Ericsson, Lundqvist and Blomqvist are the only IndyCar winners in a season?

[tight quiver]

and felix

[eternal ravine]

Ban Santino plz

[uneven coral]

SHIT, I'm so sorry I forgot him.

[tight quiver]

easily

[west notch]

give malukas 1 win

[solar narwhal]

Palou and Herta are gonna be left out but I can get behind that as well

[tight quiver]

santino will get special treatment

[solar narwhal]

[2]

[uneven coral]

Hey, Nasr closed the gap to Derani again.

[tight quiver]

malukas more like the shitposter who is only fast at gateway 😎

[uneven coral]

Brazilian vs Brazilian.

[marble willow]

Make sting ray robb automatically champion

[tight quiver]

Derani lost like a second

[fierce grove]

Truth

[tight quiver]

Sting Ray Robb is getting deleted for blocking Linus chance of a full time seat during 2023

[uneven coral]

Probs due to traffic.

[tight quiver]

yeah

now the porsches lost 1,5 seconds to derani

[uneven coral]

Man, I hate this thing, that'd be the first time I wouldn't celebrate my favourite team winning.

[west notch]

fr

[marble willow]

GG to Derani

[uneven coral]

It's far from over still, but if it goes on like this, I can't embrace it.

[tight quiver]

apperently the #31 taking the lead is actually legit

[fierce grove]

Galaxy brain move to be goofy

[marble willow]

nah. it's over, even with the incoming second pitstops

[tight quiver]

but it doesnt help how #31 tried to pass the #6 during FCY

[fierce grove]

It's a legitimate joke that's for sure

[uneven coral]

Wait what?

[tight quiver]

yep

[uneven coral]

Ok, that's good to know.

[tight quiver]

in 46.5.2 according to commentators it says something along the lines of doing the wavearound in a timely manner

[marble willow]

What's next? One of the Porsches/Acuras do the same at Petit Le Mans and then get penalized?

[tight quiver]

46.5.1*

they quoted the wrong rule

[fierce grove]

Uh. That's cute. But I still think sorta bullshit

[west notch]

"how tight do you like it"

[uneven coral]

Race Control:

[tight quiver]

but the porsches literally started it but the #31 said "nah fuck you im going around both of you"

[fierce grove]

It's just a contrived justification

[west notch]

race directors felt bad for what happened in Le Mans

[tight quiver]

uhhh

porsche literally crashed all their cars at le mans

[fierce grove]

Too bad so sad give lead back

[uneven coral]

One of them had an engine failure.

[tight quiver]

yeah but wasnt it in the wall before that

[uneven coral]

Iirc it was running high in the order before that happened.

[tight quiver]

probably

i dont remember races anymore

[west notch]

take away the lead from a driver? 😱 😱

[tight quiver]

just give us a caution and put the rightful cars ahead and start over

[marble willow]

Nah, I think the LMP3's are done being themselves for the day

Same with the GTD's

[west notch]

lol acura downfall

[marble willow]

Even though WTR is leading the championship?

[west notch]

yes

[uneven coral]

As things stands, no.

It's the #31 Cadillac.

[marble willow]

Oh shi the 6 is closed up

[tight quiver]

now derani can take the win back fairly tbh

[fierce grove]

I am gruntled

[tight quiver]
