Lotterer is quick?

The world is healing.

[fierce grove]

Crying tears of joy fr

[uneven coral]

I'm not a Lotterer fan by any means, but I would lie if I said it wasn't damning to see his speed fade by quite a bit in WEC.

[west notch]

alpine so hot

[fierce grove]

I like him vibes wise but it has been the trenches! Watching him drop off!

Also trying really hard to not think of how glorious a Campbell Estre Vanthoor lineup would be

[uneven coral]

He's so cool you wouldn't like to see him in the trenches for a single second. 😭

[fierce grove]

Exactly like the man is the coolest dad I do not want him to be slow!

[full ledge]

oh hey colin Chapman's Brazilian Vacay is back

[fierce grove]

Yeah my friend has succumbed to naptime

[uneven coral]

I know this is a motorsport channel, but F1 moving the race forward to Saturday is not ideal to say the least.

It clashes with other motorsports events like WEC and IMSA who race mostly in Saturday, and especially the way Formula 1 is now, I'd watch every racing series over it in a case of a clash.

[fierce grove]

Is suboptimal

[uneven coral]

EXACTLY, it sucks.

[fierce grove]

Also I think like realistically from a branding perspective y'know... not the move

Vegas I get because it's sunday for effectively everyone but the people there

But rest of the races I think like. Quali has really become the F1 crown jewel (heh, Monaco got one thing right) and moving it to a day of the week when people are by and large at work isn't ideal either

Also wait has been pointed out we get BMW art car at Le Mans this year

[uneven coral]

Yep, usually BMW Art cars are bangers.

[fierce grove]

Bangers debatable but MEMORABLE usually bless

Only for one race.

as a self confessed toyota fan, this is our darkest day

when should i tune back into the race

[uneven coral]

The final hour if you feel like it.

[frank lodge]

toyota will be back 🙏

[uneven coral]

We're in the trenches as they say now.

A little bit of variety of winners in WEC won't hurt tbf, it's a good look for the series.

[solemn wedge]

so long as Porsche, Ferrari and Caddy are up there we're all good

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah, I also love the collection of teams that have gone into making Spire. This is a team that bought out FRR, that worked out of Alan Kulwicki’s shop, until they bought KBM and moved into theirs last year.

It’s great to see them have this much success in the Trucks, I just wish they still had a on the nose instead of a bowtie.

But, besides the #94, they seem to have made the step forward in terms of reliability.

They didn’t fire Kyle but sure

Kyle wanted more money than he was worth and left at the end of his contract

Porsche v Porsche violence

[uneven coral]

I actually share the blame between Busch and JGR's marketing team, I don't think JGR would have been able to meet JGR's salary demands without compromising their own financials.

Unless if they were able to attract a big sponsor, in which the marketing team failed to do so after Mars.Inc left.

nah like ultimately I think the BoP this race was a bit overly uh

Enthusiastic

And though I love a Porsche 1 2 3 I don't see em keeping that for the rest of the season lmao

[teal gate]

WELP that was a big flip

[marble willow]

You sure?

[fierce grove]

Yes because other teams will get pissy and generally the series backs down when they do lmao

[leaden crow]

This is why BoP must go

[fierce grove]

Nah

[leaden crow]

They manufactured a win for Ferrari, and manufactured a podium for Porsche

[split vapor]

BoP must StOp

[leaden crow]

If they can't get BoP right they may as well can it

[fierce grove]

Nah

[marble willow]

K

I guess by this logic a win was manufactured for Porsche at Daytona and Bathurst

[leaden crow]

That's kinda the problem with balance of power, in that it puts any real major standout win in a bad light for at least a subsection of fans, enthusiasts, and watchers.

"Yeah they won but that's cause the BoP treated them really kind this week."

"Of course they were going to win, because they got gifted the golden chalice to sip the heavenly elixir from."

[fierce grove]

Balance of Performance

[leaden crow]

Whereas if they were to not have such arbitrary deductions and increases of energy and weight, and instead, say, had hard limits that all the teams and manufacturers can agree upon that last a season long.

That might be more fair.

[fierce grove]

Teams and manufacturers wouldn't agree upon anything lasting for a full season though

So

[leaden crow]

Have you asked them?

[fierce grove]

Gen I can't tell if that's genuine or just being facetious

[marble willow]

Neither can I

[leaden crow]

Don't let the teams and manufacturers decide for themselves what their allowed energy deployment and added weight ballast will be. All the other teams will set it for them.

Is what I'm feeling

And I'm genuine atm.

[marble willow]

Also, if your so adamant about BoP, then what about the success ballast system in series like the BTCC and Super GT?

[leaden crow]

I feel success ballast works a little better than just plain simple BoP, even though they both end up at the same point of "punish the winner, enable those who were furhter back."

[fierce grove]

How are the other teams to set it for each other in any practical fashion

[leaden crow]

By agreeing upon it?

They have a 1, 2 week meeting in January or whatnot, where, say, Toyota, Porsche, Peugeot, and Cadillac and co all decide together how much ballast does Ferrari get, and how much energy they can deploy. Repeat for all the teams.

[fierce grove]

They would not. Imagine a manufacturer like Porsche being displeased by the negotiation and pulling out

The amount of customer teams they have would make that incredibly fraught

[marble willow]

Now this. This makes more sense

Also, so much for the FIA and ACO having a say in this

[leaden crow]

FIA and ACO would not handle it as fairly as the teams themselves would.

[lilac jewel]

What if all teams decide to fuck with one of the teams

[leaden crow]

Because the teams are one big friendly collective who know, if they step too far, they'll make enemies.

[lilac jewel]

Motion to gjve ferrari golf carts passed unanimously

[fierce grove]

Big friendly collective

Gen my dude they want to win

[marble willow]

You seriously believe that the teams would be any better

Let’s say one of the teams has a proposal that would not sit well with the others. How would that be resolved

[leaden crow]

Yes they're competing

[fierce grove]

There are no friends there

[leaden crow]

I'm well aware

[leaden crow]

Those are the particulars and nitty gritty and I don't claim to have the solution for every one of those

[marble willow]

There is no Jota and Penske doubling up against the others simply because they are Porsche manufacturers

[leaden crow]

But ideally they would all agree to moderate, modest proposals cause if they don't, they'll upset one of the teams.

And if that team is upset, they won't play ball.

It'd be incredibly political and have a lot of drama about it, yes.

[marble willow]

why should there be drama to even begin with

[leaden crow]

But for a purely sports perspective I feel it'd be a better alternative than just a divine hand saying "you haven't been getting any wins, here you go no ballast needed and as much energy as you could wish for"

[fierce grove]

I guarantee to you this would end up with a few major manufacturers pulling out and there would be a return to a spending war

Also to be clear that's not how BoP works

[leaden crow]

In a perfect world yes, BoP introduces parity.

It makes everyone balance.d

[fierce grove]

Gen your system doesn't work unless we live in a perfect world

Anyway I do think actually we should get rid of BoP and let things get to the point where we can get BYKOLLES BACK

[marble willow]

There is no perfect world
And there is no outlandish interpretation and implementation of BoP

[leaden crow]

[marble willow]

Fuck it. Might as well have Rebellion Racing return to the WEC alongside them

It's a shocker of how badly Toyota did in Qatar but it's probably the slightest layer of karma for them for having Fujitsu onboard as a sponsor given the recent stuff surrounding the Post Office Scandal

[marble willow]

wait what

Also, It's not really surprising Toyota did bad since they were hit with a wave of BoP

And on top of that, Conway messed the start up at the beginning of the race

WEC really needs points for all finishers

you cant survive for 10h and place p11 and get 0 points

I’m ready to see what Iwasa can do at Team Mugen, Marquez at Gresini, and several other drivers in Indycar

I’ll be willing to see where you place the other series you mentioned

Here's the today-update. Known series I've not seen/finished yet are IMSA's main series (24 hours ), TransAm and TA2, NASCAR Xfinity, WSBK, WEC, and the NGK & NTK eSports cup (whatever the fuck that is )

ikikik skewer me for not enjoying Daytona 500 and for enjoying F1, I care about more than the lead in the case of the latter and this race kinda vibed

[marble willow]

I didn’t see the Daytona 500 so….

[raven pond]

hey, i wanna get into wec this year, can anyone give me a few pointers? im not really hell bent on watching the races but i wanna follow the sport

[marble willow]

So, this year, there are 2 classes. The Hypercar category and the LMGT3 category

The hypercar class sees new manufacturers joining the category

Lamborghini
BMW
Isotta Fraschini

Meanwhile Alpine has returned to the hypercar class with their new LMDh car

[dusty marlin]

wait no more lmp2? i am living under a rock 😭

[marble willow]

LMP2 is gone, but it will be ran at Le Mans

[dusty marlin]

ahhh

itll be in other series ig

[raven pond]

i see, i think hypercar is the category im more interested in

[marble willow]

IMSA still uses LMP2's and so does the Asian and European Le Mans Series

[dusty marlin]

yeah it has all the hype

lots of manufacturers and stuff

sick cars too

[raven pond]

yeah, cars look pretty sick too i won't lie

[marble willow]

The category was first introduced in 2021, and since then it's continuing to expand

[dusty marlin]

im in love with the alpines taillights

[raven pond]

it's neat how they used the logo in it

[dusty marlin]

toyota is still relatively dominant right?

[marble willow]

They have been dominating the sport since the tail end of the LMP1 era

[dusty marlin]

maybe not every race dominant agaik

afaik

because ferrari took the win at le mans at some point

[marble willow]

They've been hit with a major wave of Balance of Performance for the season opener at Qatar

And they struggled hard during that race

[dusty marlin]

ah

finally some variation

[raven pond]

yeah my tl was filled with people mentioning that

[marble willow]

Porsche 1-2-3

[dusty marlin]

nevermind

[raven pond]

isn't de vries racing with toyota this year?

[marble willow]

That's right

unfortunately

[dusty marlin]

yeah

just when toyota got hit with that balancing

and more manufacturers start to join and develop their own beasts

[raven pond]

lmaoo yeah

[marble willow]

Meanwhile in IMSA, here's the GTP class

The GTP class consists of LMDh cars

Earlier this year, Porsche won the 24 Hours of Daytona

and next up on the season calendar is the 12 hours of Sebring

[uneven coral]

On social media, there 2 types of them and they're polar opposites.

The super annoying ones, and the very chill ones.

[fading prawn]

Erm.... sorry, but can you translate?

Jk.

I really didn't get what you meant tho.

[ashen cedar]

It means basically, if you have a fast race car, you could win this race but you gotta play good strategy here two tires you can’t go to tires because you’re not getting enough grip fall behind in the back

[bitter tapir]

[autumn briar]

Dang Bell already up to 11th

[bitter tapir]

[fading prawn]

[ashen cedar]

I’m really liking this, Kyle and Kyle show don’t judge me

[fading prawn]

People shouldn't really judge you for the people you idolize anyways.
