da goat

but he is back fulltime next year sadly

so no porke

[uneven coral]

Sed.

[tight quiver]

ford drivers kinda suck

teams are Toyota WRT, Hyundai WRT and M-Sport Ford WRT

[steel pivot]

Only 3 teams?

[tight quiver]

yes

[steel pivot]

How many drivers is driving for them?

[tight quiver]

depends

ford has 2

[steel pivot]

So how many drivers are in WRC?

Cause I googled it and it says 64 😭

[tight quiver]

toyota only had 1 full time driver with Elfyn Evans but Takamoto Katsuta and Kalle Rovanperä shared car pretty much

and then ogier did a fair few rounds even tho he was supposed to be part time

[tight quiver]

that might be the whole WRC

the main focus is on the rally1 cars

[steel pivot]

That guy Neuville won the championship this year right?

[tight quiver]

yes

[steel pivot]

Pardon my dumbass, I'm still figuring things out 😭

[steel pivot]

Why some drivers didn't go full rounds? Are they reserve drivers?

[tight quiver]

intrest

like ogier is "retired" but was in the championship battle

Kalle was doing other stuff like PCCB and EDMC

[steel pivot]

Wait, so drivers can enter different categories while they race in WRC!!??

[tight quiver]

of course

practically everyone but f1 drivers race in more than one championship

[marble willow]

It's also applicable to a lot of other series, too

[simple gyro]

4mo is pretty good

[tight quiver]

Pretty good at throwing it off a cliff yeah

[autumn briar]

Mackowiecki to Alpine 😭 😭 😭

[marble stratus]

Which would everyone say is a good championship to watch the WEC or GTWC?

[marble willow]

Both are great championships to watch

[marble stratus]

I’ve started to become interested in WEC especially with how many new manufacturers join each season

[simple gyro]

wec is gonna have more emphasis on the multiclass bit because of the hypercars. they're both great, it's just a matter of personal preference. gtwce has enormous grids as well, and it's streamed live on YouTube so it's a little more accessible

[marble stratus]

I know with Aston Martin joining the HyperCar category and the category is so cool but the GT3 cara are just as varied as well

[marble willow]

Before GT3, the WEC had GTE. And back when it was in full swing, it was just magnificent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYbl6OyzGRs&pp=ygUOV0VDIEdURSBiYXR0bGU%3D

[marble stratus]

Is that the ford GT???? What a car I had no idea that was in WEC

[dusty lantern]

In GTE

ecoboost car my beloved

[marble willow]

The GT also did IMSA in the GTLM class

Also, that’s not all https://youtu.be/7pMb5ZeyRg0?feature=shared

[marble stratus]

I gotta get into more of the endurance racing it seems like a absolute blast to watch

[dusty lantern]

watch the b6hr/b12hr too :clueless

[simple gyro]

not anymore

now it's the mustang

but yeah the ford gt was built for le mans primarily

[marble willow]

Yeah. You should also check out endurance racing back then.

You had categories like Group C, IMSA GTP, IMSA WSC, LMP900, LMP675, etc. and a variety of different series, too

[marble stratus]

Definitely spending the weekend watichhing some races from WEC and GTWC Europe as well

[marble willow]

👍

[simple gyro]

gtwc Europe Jeddah is tomorrow

final round of the endurance cup

top 3 are 3 points apart

[marble stratus]

I’m confused if it’s European based why are they in Saudi Arabia? Just curious

[lavish shard]

[tight quiver]

nah audi will keep going until the teams dont want to use them

[tranquil viper]

Eh, hard to say

Audi won't give more factory support but some lower teams might keep using the R8 until the teams find a better option.

Which they are gonna find, eventually.

[old osprey]

the church bells in maranello shall ring

[hearty herald]

Ferraris first championship of the year 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The R8 is a solid platform, I think they'll keep running until a 3rd party selling spare parts eventually ends their support.

Yo does Lamborghini have any racing pedigree

[autumn briar]

no

[marble willow]

Yes. They competed primarily in GT racing. But from 1989-93 they were an engine supplier in F1, much to their V12 being unreliable and only scoring a single podium with Larrousse at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix.

Meanwhile in sportscars, they had their LMDh program in IMSA and WEC, but as of now, they pulled both their GT3 and LMDh programs from the WEC.

Back in the 1980’s, the Lamborghini Countach QVX existed, but that was essentially a Spice chassis with a Lambo V12 and Countach taillights.

Funnily enough, the Countach did race in the JGTC, as well as the Diablo, both entered by JLOC, who recently won their maiden Super GT title in the GT300 class with their Huracan GT3

[autumn briar]

If you compare to the other brands they’ve won fuck all the past few years.

[simple gyro]

aka some racing pedigree but not much

I lost the screenshot where it said sold but these both sold a while ago. I thought the Camaro was gonna be turned into a sports sedan, but I haven’t seen them at all

[dusty lantern]

Yeah that’s true, he still loves racing so

[marble willow]

Wow. I mean, some other uses I can see the Camaro being used for is Time Attack and to some extent, Pikes Peak

But if it were to be made into a sports sedan, that would make sense

[dusty lantern]

the mustang is just a modified s550 so eh, probably both bought by the same guy them just put it in a garage or smth

Time Attack would be so cool

[marble willow]

Definitely

As I've realised and observed, racing is very important for innovation in and perfection of technology.
Lamborghini makes a very interesting case to me thus, as it has no experience.
It's quite evident in their productions too.

“It is very important for us that we will participate in these competitions as Russian athletes, and our car and our overalls will carry the Russian flag. And we will be able to demonstrate clearly, without any compromise, the ambitions and competitiveness of Russian motorsport,” commented Vitaly Petrov, CEO of G-Drive SMP Racing, on the news.

FOLKS -- there's more -- this wouldn't just be a provisional like a past champion's provisional where it's a spot in the 40-car field.

IT IS AN EXTRA SPOT. A 41st car!

I really hope Jaguar has enough brain cells to develop HVs as well as EVs

So they can return to Le Mans with a hydrogen prototype

I hope the nascar gets back

[marble willow]

no

The G56 Nascar is not coming back

[sleek spruce]

Sad, it sounded so good man

[royal pawn]

but ford will join in 2026 probably the LMDh Programme

[sleek spruce]

Epic

I mean we got aston

this year

with lambo

and jota with caddy

[royal pawn]

but in 2026 we also recieve Genesis with there LMDh

[sleek spruce]

Yh saw that

[royal pawn]

Lambo won't join back in LMDh mate

[sleek spruce]

with Cyril Abiteboul as head 💀

[royal pawn]

they unplugged there LMDh Programme Lamborghini

[sleek spruce]

for only one year-

dang

[royal pawn]

because lamborghini had 1. bad results and 2. each LMDh manufacturer needs 2 cars in WEC to participate

[sleek spruce]

I mean point 2 valid, but as point 1, what do you expect after one year

[royal pawn]

yeah but look at the results of porsche in their first year

[sleek spruce]

yh true

wait they did IMSA and WEC in the same year right?

[royal pawn]

they were fighting their first year already for the win

[sleek spruce]

Remember BMW did IMSA first one year and then WEC

[royal pawn]

Lamborghini did IMSA and WEC

in the same year

[sleek spruce]

Porsche too right

[royal pawn]

no Porsche did in 2023 allongside Cadillac and Acura in IMSA and later that year they joined for the resumed WEC Season

[sleek spruce]

Yh so they had a bit of experience in endurance racing

[royal pawn]

yeah

but the first results of porsche in IMSA were also stunning with multiple Podiums and multiple wins

[sleek spruce]

Yh true

That was indeed insane

[royal pawn]

but i is not also the manufacturer but it also depends on your Pitcrew and the drivers

[sleek spruce]

I mean, jota was also on fire on the 24 hours

||exept putting it in the wall||

[royal pawn]

exactly i am still without words of Nascar number 56 in the 24 hours of le mans

[sleek spruce]

true

thing was faster then the GTE

[royal pawn]

and even faster the LMP2 in multiple stages of the race

[sleek spruce]

Yep

insane

im hyped for this years endurance

[royal pawn]

same i won't participate like work in one of them but next year i will hopefully do probably 6 hr of spa and maybe 24 hours of le mans

[sleek spruce]

Like watch or?

[royal pawn]

no just work as marshal

[sleek spruce]

epic

I got tickets for the 24h so

[royal pawn]

but for the 24 hours of le mans ill probably go with the train to le mans

[sleek spruce]

Yh same

[wet hornet]

I'm thinking more they will join in 2027

[royal pawn]

no ive seen messages from them and there expecting begin next year

otherwise they delay it to 2027 but they think 2026 will be possible

[wet hornet]

IMSA in 2026, WEC in 2027?

[royal pawn]

i think they will do a Porsche action i have a friend working in WEC and IMSA
