[lethal yacht]

Ok LFR

(rip v10)

[marble willow]

The 2UR-GSE's still good though

[lethal yacht]

Is this GT3 homologated?

[marble willow]

Yes

[marble willow]

wait, the 2UR-GSE is a 5 liter engine. The LFR has a 4 liter engine

The Viper has been discontinued

[simple gyro]

side airbags

the bane of every cool car

[west notch]

you don't need airbags if you never crash

common sense

[craggy sonnet]

Omg they're racing on a drenched Sydney track with dry tyres because there wasn't enough time to come in and change

Waters completes the hat trick

[dusty lantern]

H2o does it on a watered down track

[foggy fulcrum]

The Indy 500 is great but greatest??

I'd rather watch:
Le Mans 24h
Daytona 24h
Bathurst 1000
Coca-Cola 600
Bristol Night Race

Greatest in terms of crowd size sure, but the actual racing isn't usually that great and hasn't been for a pretty long time now.

[foggy fulcrum]

Why tf didn't I get into Supercars earlier these races were incredible

[foggy fulcrum]

Penske/Wood Brothers 1-2-3-4 for Atlanta is crazy

[timber storm]

yep

[atomic frigate]

umm helloooo

the last two indy 500 had the race determined on the last lap??

le mans is a snoozer with two cars battle once every 30 minutes
daytona is the same exact concept, but a little better tbh
never watched bathurst, can’t say
coca cola 600 is just NOT up there, it’s a good race, but doesn’t compare in terms of racing recently
and bristol is just not in there at all man

indy 500 has excitement from the green flag and down to the finish line

[daring nacelle]

the 500s have been great the last few years

for racing

[foggy fulcrum]

I think I actually disagree with literally every single thing you said

[atomic frigate]

ur telling me you can stay glued to ur screen watching two hypercars go wheel to wheel every 30 minutes for 24h

[foggy fulcrum]

I’ve never stayed glued to my screen watching a single race in my life

[round glen]

It's Atlanta time 🔥

[simple gyro]

something tells me you didn't watch Le mans last year

[foggy fulcrum]

also fwiw hypercar is one class

[simple gyro]

not that I dislike the 500 I think it's great racing but

shit you're saying 😭

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah like I’m not shitting on the Indy 500 here

I’m just saying if I had to pick there’s a lot of races I’d rather watch instead

[atomic frigate]

no i did

[simple gyro]

then you would know that we did in fact get more than two spots of action an hour

except the safety car bit that would at least be a semi valid criticism

[atomic frigate]

i so loved those 6 hours lol

[timber storm]

It's technically a Penske 1-2-3-4

[foggy fulcrum]

if what you’re interested in is a test of driver skill; or close fought action; or a test of endurance of driver and machine… the Indy 500 is not the best at any of those

[atomic frigate]

um

[foggy fulcrum]

it’s just not

[atomic frigate]

so my view of the greatest race is

the most entertaining

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah which the 500 isn’t

[atomic frigate]

so it in that case

indy would just have to take the cake

[simple gyro]

the equivalent of rain delays on ovals

you can't control weather

[atomic frigate]

yeah i’m just joking around

indy 500 has the most entertainment outta any race

[simple gyro]

that's just personal preference so whatever

[foggy fulcrum]

for you

[simple gyro]

sure

[foggy fulcrum]

for me nah not even close

[atomic frigate]

can i hear some reasoning

[foggy fulcrum]

it’s better than any F1 race but

[simple gyro]

idk not that it's bad there's just a few I enjoy more

[round glen]

Hot take: the British Grand Prix is the best Crown Jewel event in modern motorsport.

[simple gyro]

I like n24 because the nordschleife is an awesome track

Daytona 24 is fun seeing all my picks wreck

[foggy fulcrum]

It’s mostly just a one track groove strategy race

[atomic frigate]

i’d say 2 grooves

[marble willow]

Are you shitting me with Daytona and Le Mans?

[foggy fulcrum]

With just so much practice that it takes a decent amount of the spark out of it (understandably, it’s for safety but)

[simple gyro]

not gonna be able to watch the entirety of this race

which is unfortunate

[atomic frigate]

i’m not shitting at all here

just saying it how it is

[foggy fulcrum]

see the issue is… that

[marble willow]

If you're expecting consistent wheel to wheel stuff in endurance races like those, then you're dead wrong.

[simple gyro]

okay but how it is is just

wrong

maybe it was true in the Toyota only years but

[foggy fulcrum]

what you meant was ‘it’s my favourite race’ but what you claimed was ‘it’s the greatest race’

[simple gyro]

particularly Daytona because of safety car procedures

[atomic frigate]

it’s my favorite bc i see it as there’s greatest lol

[foggy fulcrum]

you see it as the greatest because it’s the one you enjoy the most

[marble willow]

In addition, the LMH category was mentioned, but no mention of the LMP2 and LMGT3 classes?

[round glen]

HERE WE GO

[simple gyro]

to be fair gt3 got no tv coverage last year

[round glen]

Austin Cindric takes the lead from a push by Josh Berry

[simple gyro]

shit was happening they weren't showing it

[marble willow]

True.

[gleaming totem]

Bruh, don't tell me Penske is going to drive away now

[round glen]

It's a superspeedway so expect some drama

[atomic frigate]

wym

[round glen]

Cindric has lead all laps so far

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah Mike Joy thought the yellow car was Blaney

[round glen]

So did I but alas Blaney went Grayney

[marble willow]

Not every hour is full of close, consistent action, and to be fair, some points are snoozers, but going as far as saying Le Mans and Daytona are snoozers overall is a bit of a stretch.

[round glen]

ba dum tss

Logano moving to 3rd behind Berry

Todd Gilliland now takes the lead

Cindric fights back . . .

. . . and retakes it!

[foggy fulcrum]

(not like the 500 is all wheel to wheel action either btw…)

[marble willow]

Fair enough. There are points in the race where it's just empty as hell.

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah like that's racing right

At least in a race of any serious length

[marble willow]

Mhm...

[fading prawn]

This really seems like a Ford domination

[gleaming totem]

Top Gear theme song as they go to break 🔥

[timber storm]

yeah

Bubba pulling those toyotas up there tho

Byron pulling the Chevys

[foggy fulcrum]

See the thing is, it has looked like that every race we've run here in the next gen but Chevrolets have won 4 of the 6.

[dusty lantern]

Ford US dominating like in Australia last weekend 🤣

[timber storm]

Josh Berry wins stage 1

[foggy fulcrum]

HELL YEAH

Man he deserves the hell out of that ride

[tranquil viper]

I'm on rn

[foggy fulcrum]

That's the benefit of coming up through JRM

[tranquil viper]

MUSTANG WIN NICEEE

[foggy fulcrum]

You get Jr's plate track knowledge

[atomic frigate]

i know daytona has its good finishes, but when does le man ever give you a finish to look forward to

[simple gyro]

is your criteria for a fun race being decided on the last lap

[marble willow]

1994?
2016 when Toyota dnf'd from the lead with 3 minutes to go?
2017 in GTE Pro at the very end?
2021 when it came to WRT's heartbreak in LMP2, also at the very end?
2023?

[atomic frigate]

let’s compare here now

2023 last lap pass for the win was better than le man

[simple gyro]

if last lap pass is what you want I direct you to fomula e

[atomic frigate]

2021 helio passes palou with like 3 to go to win 4 indy 500s

[simple gyro]

go nuts

[atomic frigate]

i love formula e

[marble willow]

Hold on now, why are we bringing Indy into this? I thought we're only sticking with Le Mans and Daytona

[atomic frigate]

no no i was comparing endurance races to indy

[foggy fulcrum]

did you see any of the supercars highlights from this weekend?

[simple gyro]

is formula e better than Le mans?

[atomic frigate]

yes i did

it’s awesome

[atomic frigate]

those can’t be compared lol

[simple gyro]

why not

[marble willow]

But Indy and endurance races can?

[atomic frigate]

bc it’s a series vs a race

[atomic frigate]

ye

[simple gyro]

fine Sao Paolo e prix

[atomic frigate]

that race was more entertaining yeah

[simple gyro]

wild

okay no point we just look for different things in racing

[marble willow]

True, but I can't seem to get behind how Le Mans overall is a snoozefest

Like, seriously?

[tranquil viper]

You have to be ragebaiting at this point.

[tranquil viper]

1994, 2016, 2017, 2021, 2023, 2024, 1966.

[charred storm]

why bring up 1966

like gang you weren’t alive for that

[foggy fulcrum]

why ignore the 5 from the previous decade and focus on that?

wtf happened to Blaney

[tranquil viper]

You have the other 6.

[foggy fulcrum]

I looked away for like a minute and he just melted

[atomic frigate]

while these finishes are entertaining, they don’t compare to the indy 500 finishes

[foggy fulcrum]

uh did they just show a kid doing a nazi salute when they went to break?

[sharp verge]

[foggy fulcrum]

fucking hell you're years ahead of me

solid 90 seconds at least

[sharp verge]

LOL

i cant rewind so idk what they were showing

[fading prawn]

Tyre failure?

[foggy fulcrum]

it was that or a Ty failure

hard to say which led to the other

[fading prawn]

Hamlin with a penalty.
I have no idea why.

[foggy fulcrum]

drove through too many boxes

said on the intl broadcast

[fading prawn]

Now I see.

And the field is already running wild.

All Hendrick cars - Elliott are in the Top 10

Gilliland going after Logano.

Joey is not happy it seems.

They are in a dog fight, but Cindric came over and helped his teammate.

And Erik Jones is around....

Contact with Chris Buescher.

[abstract raptor]

Wait NASCAR happened?

[fading prawn]

Nope, it is still happening.

[abstract raptor]

Ah

[fading prawn]

Gilliland leads

[abstract raptor]

How’s Gilli doing?

YESSSS

COME ON GILLI

[fading prawn]

Logano took him over.

Cindric too.

[abstract raptor]

ffs

Wait

I might have read that wrong

[fading prawn]

He sent one.

[abstract raptor]

He’s still P1?

[fading prawn]

P3.

[abstract raptor]

ffs

Uh it’s NASCAR so it’s fine

[fading prawn]

He sent a divebomb on Joey and Austin.

But lost out.

[abstract raptor]

I see

Which track are we at?

[fading prawn]

He's barely ahead of Bowman as of now.

[abstract raptor]

Atlanta right?

[fading prawn]

Yes

[abstract raptor]

Okay

[abstract raptor]

Oh no😭

[fading prawn]

Gilliland again attacking Cindric

Didn't work

[abstract raptor]

Ugh

Why do I even support Gilliland man😔

[fading prawn]

Now he's side by side with Alex

[fading prawn]

Because he's having an amazing race?
Regardless of him leading or not?

Come on, he's ahead of a bunch of big names.

[abstract raptor]

Yeah true

I thought he dropped like a stone💀

[fading prawn]

No.

[abstract raptor]

I should check NASCAR’s timing

Because I sound like a idiot

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah that’s a question for almost any other race

[fading prawn]

But he's not coming closer to the top 2.

Bowman now third.

[abstract raptor]

Also true sadly😔

[foggy fulcrum]

why tf does Blaney keep disappearing

[fading prawn]

Todd now is starting to fall into the clutches of Berry.

And Bubba.

[foggy fulcrum]

Berry was right behind the 12

Now the 12 is nowhere again and the 21 is up front

[abstract raptor]

Okay I’m gonna pray for a Gilli top 10 finish

[fading prawn]

We are just under the halfway mark

[abstract raptor]

Oh no……..

[fading prawn]

Sorry

Gilliland has a puncture.

[abstract raptor]

NOOOOOOOO

[foggy fulcrum]

you had to say it

[fading prawn]

Now Hocevar moves up to fourth.

[abstract raptor]

END THE SUFFERING ALREADY…… WHY IS THIS MY LUCK

[round glen]

What a jinx

[abstract raptor]

😭

This hurts more than my neck man

[fading prawn]

Unsure if he has suspension or bodywork damage

[timber storm]

whats the caution for

[abstract raptor]

Please no

[fading prawn]

Puncture for Gilliland

[abstract raptor]

Pleaseeeee tell me he can continue

[round glen]

I need a Logano or Hocevar win. Mainly because I left out Cindric and Bowman in my bracket.

[timber storm]

he should be fine

[fading prawn]

Seems like it, but the tyre carcass did go out violently.

He made an awesome job of not hitting anything tho.

[abstract raptor]

Nice

[fading prawn]

But now, he's the only one -1 lap.

[abstract raptor]

Ugh

Time for a comeback

[fading prawn]

He has pace, let's see him put the work in it.

[abstract raptor]

Bc he’s the Goatiland #worsethanferrari

[fading prawn]

Nevermind, Gilliland isn't a lap down.

Harvick miss called it.

[abstract raptor]

YES

[fading prawn]

LOGANO VS BOWMAN!

Also, Busch wants to beat up Hocevar for some reason.

[round glen]

Was that Stenhouse who tapped Elliott?

[fading prawn]

Stenhouse squeezed Elliott on the wall, who then took out Gragson and Brad.....

[fading prawn]

Who else?.....

[round glen]

Wrecky Spinhouse strikes again

[abstract raptor]

No Gilli involved though🙏

[fading prawn]

Briscoe and Stenhouse touched.

[foggy fulcrum]

took way too long to throw the yellow

[fading prawn]

Also, LaJoie spun too.

[foggy fulcrum]

fuck he was in my fantasy garage

now i get to swap out brad for corey and gain 2 points

[fading prawn]

By the momment Elliott was headed back into the wall they should have.

[abstract raptor]

I haven’t touched my fantasy in 2 years or smth

So it probably doesnt even exist anymore

[fading prawn]

I believe Keselowski is out.

Also, both Gilliland and T Dillon had tyre failures, when does the next one comes into play?

A tad late, sorry y'all.

Larson fucked over Bowman.

He won stage 2

[round glen]

LARSON WON STAGE 2

HOLY

[timber storm]

Bubba P2

nice

[foggy fulcrum]

I need Blaney to get the fuck around Hocevar

Twice it’s been way too close to disaster

[abstract raptor]

I need Gilli to lock in

[fading prawn]

Most of the guys pitting

Chastain vs van Gisbergen!

Kyle Busch attacking Shane!

Everyone is three wide!

And Herbst put Bell on the wall ever so slightly

[craggy sonnet]

GIZZY LED FOR A BIT THERE!!!

[fading prawn]

MASSIVE ONE

[craggy sonnet]

Holy shit

[fading prawn]

Suarez, Gibbs, Custer all in the middle.

Gragson too.

[abstract raptor]

How Gilli doin?

[fading prawn]

Excuse me, not Preece, but Custer

And the 44 too.

[craggy sonnet]

SVG leads a caution!!

[fading prawn]

No damage, but the did touch with Gibbs.

Herbst lifted up, Bubba had to do the same, pushing Suárez back into Gilliland and Gibbs, who got pinched in the middle of both.

Smith, and Cody Ware I believe were also in the middle of all this.

Gibbs somehow is back on track.

[crimson crystal]

Is this still on?

[fading prawn]

If you mean Nascar, yes.

[crimson crystal]

Nice

[fading prawn]

Busch leads out of Pit road.

KYLE BUSCH

Byron snatched the lead

Busch is following close

He now took it back!

Berry's turn now!

[fading prawn]

I MISSED A CRASH BECAUSE FOX

Anyways, Briscoe squeezed Buescher down, Bowman T boned him.

[round glen]

Was Gibbs involved

I saw him stopped

[fading prawn]

Don't think so.

BTW

Oh....

OH....

Gibbs wrecked on his own.

I'm gonna bet that was a tyre failure.

[viscid kiln]

Yes

[round glen]

Bowman is cooked

[abstract raptor]

How’s Gilli doing?

[fading prawn]

Blaney finally decided to show up @foggy fulcrum

[fading prawn]

Unless he gets a miraculous setup this next stop, don't think that this miracle happens.

[abstract raptor]

• it’s Todd

[fading prawn]

Also, all tire failures thus far happened to a driver whose name started with T....

Reddick should watch out.

[abstract raptor]

Yler Reddick

[tranquil viper]

Does Logano have a chance?

[fading prawn]

Yea I think, he kept out of trouble.

[round glen]

Yeah

And so does Cindric

And Blaney

All the Penskes

[fading prawn]

And the fourth Penske of Berry too.

[round glen]

But I would prefer Cindric not to win it because he's not on my main bracket'

He's on my second one, but not my main

If Berry wins, well BOTH my brackets are cooked. He's one of my favorites though

[fading prawn]

Josh Berry vs Kyle Busch is what it is!

Blaney with a MASSIVE wobble

Chastain sends it!

He took both Penske!

Busch opening a tad going into 1!

Chastain took the lead!

[round glen]

Berry is fading . . .

[fading prawn]

And FAST

[abstract raptor]

Gilliland ahh

[fading prawn]

BLANEY GOES FOR IT!

BERRY FUCKING BUMPED CHASTAIN

HE LEADS!

One lap after another, Chastain and Berry are trading places!

BLANEY SPUN

You were referencing that?

[tranquil viper]

I got no fucking words to what just happened.

[fading prawn]

Obviously not, but since you asked about something massive, that was one.
But this was in a way littler scale.

[round glen]

Oh ok

[fading prawn]

Anyways, Cindric and Byron got screwed over by Larson.

[midnight drum]

horrendous block

[tranquil viper]

OH FOR FUCK SAKE LARSON

[round glen]

Larson forced him wide?

[midnight drum]

not clear

[fading prawn]

Like usual, Kyle being the worst teammate even concieved.

I don’t think it was intentional

Nah, it wasn't.

Especially their Indy 500 outing with Jean Alesi

Jean didn't deserve to drive that shitbox

Cup teams will have a new road-course tire this weekend at COTA. Should have more tire wear and fall off.

WEC introduces new ballast system to compensate for driver weight

WEC introduces new ballast system to compensate for driver weight

The World Endurance Championship has introduced a new system designed to reduce the advantage of lighter drivers in the series. 
What is known as compensation ballast will be applied to cars across the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes from this week’s 2025 season-opener in Qatar.

The 2025 MotoGP season starts in 36 hours and the organisers have yet to announce who will broadcast the championship in the USA, the world’s largest sports entertainment market. Remember this the next time someone tells you that Liberty is going to somehow mess up MotoGP…

Bad news if you’re a Linus Lundqvist fan

fuck you CGR

???

The season hasn’t even started wtf

[marble willow]

I know, right???

[modern oar]

do we know why

[unreal plinth]

can someone explain in f1 terms

[marble willow]

It was never specified why Lundqvist’s contract was terminated

[marble willow]

Explain which thing?

Lundqvist’s contract termination? That’s not just an Indycar only thing, it’s something that would be applicable to motorsport in general, including F1

[tranquil viper]

WEC quali rn

[winged cedar]

Did they show any of the qualifying for GT3 for WEC? Anyone watching

Cause all they showed on WEC website stream was the end of GT3 hyperbole

Like literally the chequered flag was waving

[marble willow]

@tranquil viper

Is this true????

[tranquil viper]

I'm not watching sadly

I'm on a highway on my family's car.

[marble willow]

Oh

[wintry oxide]

can confirm

[marble willow]

[winged cedar]

Worse, the Toyota starts behind both Aston’s

[modern oar]

ok

[wintry oxide]

toyota was looking funky during practice too

[marble willow]

What the fuck happened

[wintry oxide]

I assume shitty bop

they're pretty heavy

[winged cedar]

Porsche is like 11th and 14th

[marble willow]

Oh my god-

[wintry oxide]

I think it was toyota and aston that were cooked weight wise

[winged cedar]

Hyperbole has 3 Ferrari, both Cadillac, 1 Alpine, 1 Toyota, both BMW and a Peugeot

The Alpine isn’t Schumacher though

[wintry oxide]

Ferrari came into this the strongest, and will somehow still manage to lose the race

[winged cedar]

If a BMW wins I won’t be surprised

[marble willow]

Jesus, both Cadillacs? Already off to a good start for Jota

Also, one of the Peugeots as well???

[modern oar]

LETS GO CADILLAC

[wintry oxide]

I genuinely believe the bop is the reason here

[modern oar]

i cant wait to hear that engine in person

[marble willow]

True

[wintry oxide]

the lightest cars are topping the results

[modern oar]

its gonna be heavenly

[modern oar]

that switch sounds so good

[modern oar]

come on jota

[marble willow]

Well there’s something you don’t see everyday

that would be strange
