[west notch]

What did Cadillac just do

[marble willow]

[tight quiver]

JB went, then slammed on the brakes and lynn just plowed into the back of him

right before green

they were 1-2

[marble willow]

OH COME THE FUCK ON

[tight quiver]

long race they can recover

[marble willow]

[west notch]

Yeah Jota are idiots

and Cadillac is still cursed

[marble willow]

A travesty

[wintry oxide]

quick summary over here?

other than aston having the same build quality of their road cars

[marble willow]

I mean hey, at least we have a Ferrari 1-2-3 going on with a BMW P4

[west notch]

glad im not watching

[wintry oxide]

F

[native crystal]

FUCKKK

JENSON BUTTON YOU CLOWN

[vestal lance]

Barcelona 2016 flashback

[wintry oxide]

[native crystal]

jenson button brakechecked alex lynn

[west notch]

Jenson Button

[marble willow]

Also, an Alpine is in P5 ahead of both Toyotas and one of the Penske Porsches

[wintry oxide]

that's some stroll/ricciardo type shit

[modern oar]

jenson bro

[west notch]

oh u are so cooked buddy

[native crystal]

button turned into 2018 azerbaijan verstappen

[west notch]

Button you're so finished

[native crystal]

SACK HIM NOW

[marble willow]

Goddammit JB…….

[native crystal]

BRING BACK RASSMUSEN

SACK HIM

[modern oar]

anyone got a clip im not watching rn

[west notch]

F1 WDC

btw

[modern oar]

jenson my goat why 😭

[crimson crystal]

Button has been slow but now bro does this💀

Just retire mate

[marble willow]

Pain…

[crimson crystal]

😭

[vestal lance]

introducing 2009 WDC
Jenson "the first person to press the DRS" Button

[tight quiver]

bro doesnt know about lapped traffic

[wintry oxide]

other than the door flying off, are the astons just astonishing slow or did something else happen?

[tight quiver]

there is no wave around in WEC like IMSA

or GTWC

or F1

[west notch]

I think Aston just slow

[tight quiver]

you are where you are

[west notch]

wasn't Aston like 2.7 seconds off pole

[tight quiver]

its a brand new car of course its slow

[wintry oxide]

brings back some isotta memories

[west notch]

How slow was the 499p on debut

[smoky pike]

wait are there no lamborghinis in hypercar this year?

[marble willow]

Yeah. Lamborghini exited the WEC

[simple gyro]

the other one went in the garage for a misfire

[native crystal]

WE CAN STILL GET POINTS

[wintry oxide]

thankfully

[faint dirge]

Lambo accepted mid and left

[smoky pike]

nooooooooooo 😢

[west notch]

cooked

[smoky pike]

WHYYYYY

[wintry oxide]

the car was ass and they lacked the funds

[crimson crystal]

WE CAN HOPE🙏🔥

[wintry oxide]

should've never joined

[simple gyro]

the 499p was only up against the toyota as a n established racer

[faint dirge]

Because they lacked money

[tight quiver]

only if the SC catches a car that isnt the leader in class

[native crystal]

only 2 points away relax

[simple gyro]

aston are up against everyone

[wintry oxide]

I firmly believe isotta's wec stint was a massive publicity stunt

[tight quiver]

the merc was infront of the lexus so it got a wave around

[smoky pike]

DANGIT MAN

[wintry oxide]

they did finish lemans

unlike lambo

[marble willow]

And Alpine

[faint dirge]

Is there a stream I can watch the race btw like legally

Oh it's probably geolocked but America

[timber umbra]

fiawec.tv

[smoky pike]

Yo whats the alpine doing in the top 5? 💀

[faint dirge]

They feel special

[faint dirge]

Thank ya

[wintry oxide]

when alpine isn't being trash they're usually decent

the real question is whether they finish the race or not

[modern oar]

mechicrome moment

[smoky pike]

wait a minute 2 ALPINES IN THE TOP 10?

[faint dirge]

Watch them both do something stupid

[wintry oxide]

they'll probably just shut off

[smoky pike]

lmao

[modern oar]

why are they running an f2 engine anyway

money?

mechichrome engine

similar one in f2

[wintry oxide]

because they're french

and realistically, with all the limitations in place for lmdh I doubt it makes much of a difference

[uneven hinge]

Well, it's Alpine.

[vale gull]

Truly the debut race of all time for aston

[wintry oxide]

they could've addressed the reliability however

[uneven hinge]

Everything which doesn't make sense is what Alpine does.

[faint dirge]

I gotta pay to see the damn race

Ite plan B

[west notch]

go to qatar

[modern oar]

does espn or fox have it

or any other tv network

[faint dirge]

N O

[modern oar]

bruh

[faint dirge]

I would know cause it'd be recording

[modern oar]

there is a spanish commentary on the wec yt but its geo blocked in the uk

idk if it is in the us

[faint dirge]

BRUH

[timber umbra]

The FIA World Endurance Championship has once again partnered with Max to broadcast the 2025 season in the United States.

[faint dirge]

I HAVE TO PAY TO SEE IT ON YT TV?

[timber umbra]

In addition to live coverage and replays available on Max’s B/R Sports in the U.S. B/R Sports is currently available on all Max plans.

[faint dirge]

I'm about to have a stroke

[faint dirge]

This shit is paywalled

[timber umbra]

Yes that is how sports work in 2025

Either way it seems like you can choose between either FIAWEC.tv or Max

[faint dirge]

Eat my entire ass

[timber umbra]

No thanks

[faint dirge]

This fuckin sucks

[faint dirge]

Wasn't directed at you

[timber umbra]

😏

[modern oar]

[uneven hinge]

[modern oar]

[faint dirge]

Well

I have the onboards on YouTube at least

[wintry oxide]

Excuse me, what

[modern oar]

mclaren should join hypercar

[faint dirge]

Although I have zero sense of what happens

Idk what time is left

[modern oar]

theyre good in gt rn

[faint dirge]

Who's where

[modern oar]

[faint dirge]

[prime pine]

[modern oar]

jenson break checked him for some reason

i havent seen the clip yet but thats what people have said

[timber umbra]

[faint dirge]

The onboard is the #38

[timber umbra]

Button did some trolling

[modern oar]

[wintry oxide]

[native crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/wanna-kill-myself-the-office-michael-scott-steve-carell-frustrated-gif-13414030

[faint dirge]

Did Jenson get penalized

[native crystal]

not yet

[faint dirge]

If the answer is no this is how I feel

[modern oar]

youre one of my favourite drivers jenson why 😭

[native crystal]

can we PLEASE FIRE JENSON BUTTON

[vale gull]

something tells me that Sebring isn't gonna go very well for Aston Martin

[native crystal]

he isnt even fast anymore

[faint dirge]

EVERY TIME I try to cheer on the damn team man

Bullshit happens

[native crystal]

ive been supporting cadillac since 2023

all i know is pain

[prime pine]

Wtf is bro doing 😭😭😭

[wintry oxide]

you're learning how it feels to be a ferrari fan

[native crystal]

its worse

[wintry oxide]

debatable

[prime pine]

Its worse

[native crystal]

ferrari just choked the lead cuz of VSC then cadillac got it

then cadillac crashed

[wintry oxide]

that in wec yes

I meant f1

[modern oar]

im only supporting cadillac because of jota 😭

[prime pine]

Yellow caddy curse never got broken

[native crystal]

im a neutral in f1

idc

[wintry oxide]

I usually dont have many wec ferrari complaints

[prime pine]

It only got broken because the yellowcaddy changed its colour to pink for one race and won

[native crystal]

we'll be lucky to get points now

[wintry oxide]

we're the fastest in every session, qualify in hyperpole, pull off the dumbest shit ever known to man, recover to p3

[native crystal]

i want jenson button fired

bring back oliver rassmusen

[faint dirge]

Jenson better get a fuckin race ban

Or something

No shot he walks away without any punishment

[wintry oxide]

doesnt he drive for caddy as well

[native crystal]

there hasnt been a race ban in wec for ages

[modern oar]

hes the one who break checked him

[native crystal]

i started watching in 2022

[wintry oxide]

I do know that

[native crystal]

giovannazi under investigation for VSC issues?

[wintry oxide]

but even if, im not sure as a caddy fan a race ban for him would be a good idea

[native crystal]

hm

[modern oar]

he should get penalised

[faint dirge]

38 seems to be in conservative mode

Lot of li-co

[vale gull]

How will Ferrari fumble this 1-2-3

[faint dirge]

Engine failure

[wintry oxide]

funky pit stop

[faint dirge]

Manifesting

[light cedar]

Oh my god how the hell did fuck it up this badly 😭

[wintry oxide]

hell no

[vale gull]

Manifesting the usual Ferrari pit fumble

[faint dirge]

Button is a fucking sabotage

Get him off the damn team

Who's in.the Ferrari #50

[modern oar]

they already got muted lol

[faint dirge]

F

[wintry oxide]

antonio fuoco

[modern oar]

uh

mute evasion isnt allowed 💀

[faint dirge]

Is that the 51 I'm seeing in front of him?

[wintry oxide]

yes

[modern oar]

your gonna get banned probably

[west notch]

People are so intelligent

[faint dirge]

Huh

[wintry oxide]

they'll fumble by kissing each other

I tell you

[west notch]

Ah yes I was muted

let me get my alt

[uneven hinge]

.mute 1105165723447337052 mute evasion

[tawny elbow]

bvbocon38 muted psgl_jarno_opmeer indefinitely Reason: mute evasion.

[west notch]

so fucking smart

psgl jarno opmeer 😭

[faint dirge]

They'll get out of the car and make out

[wintry oxide]

right after the cars also kiss each other

[west notch]

mute evasion kills my brain

[wintry oxide]

the wrong cadillac got penalised

[faint dirge]

50 is like 2 seconds back how's he gonna do that

[west notch]

Dont tell me they penalized Lynn's car

fucking idiots

[wintry oxide]

they werent 2 minutes ago

[faint dirge]

NO WAY THEY PENALIZED LYNN

[modern oar]

bruh

fia being braindead again

[faint dirge]

ARE YOU JOKING?

[wintry oxide]

nope, as serious as can be

[west notch]

glad im not watching this bullshit

[wintry oxide]

lynn was penalized

[faint dirge]

Help me

[light cedar]

Oh yeah what happened to the 009

[faint dirge]

It's an Aston Martin

[wintry oxide]

is that the one where the door popped off?

[light cedar]

Did it retire from the door flying off or did the team go back for repairs

[faint dirge]

Also I think that's the door misser

I think it's done

[wintry oxide]

I didnt expect much from aston either way

it's cool that a road car was converted to endurance tho

[faint dirge]

That onboard of the Aston sounded terrible

[vale gull]

Merica

[faint dirge]

Fuoco seems to be in a slight save mode theres some Li-co

[light cedar]

I really want to see Homologated Prototype/Hypercars make a return someday

[faint dirge]

Not NEARLY as much as the #38 caddy though

[marble willow]

And then you have the story of the Dauer 962 LM

taking a race car and turning it into a road car and then re-homologating it for lmgt1 usage

[light cedar]

I find them so much cooler than purpose-built cars

[faint dirge]

Maybe if the door doesn't fly off it

[wintry oxide]

Yeah, would be great

[faint dirge]

Oh Ferrari has the onboard of the leader too

[wintry oxide]

but it's not like many brands are making hypers nowadays for road use

Ferrari usually has all onboards on yt

[light cedar]

In general my favorite race cars are the one's that are based off of the "Race on Sunday sell on Monday" philosophy

[faint dirge]

They're missing the third Ferrari

[wintry oxide]

oh

I remember them having it last season

oof

[faint dirge]

Ferrari has failed

They fumbling already

Subtract 1 Ferrari from the running order

[light cedar]

Just the thought of seeing a car win races on a Sunday, go on to buy the same car the next day then bringing it to a local Target market on Tuesday is such a cool concept

[wintry oxide]

wtf happened

I turned to f1 testing for 2 seconds

they're still all there?

[faint dirge]

Oh yeah I can't see that either

Probably geolocked as well

[native crystal]

RETIRE ALL THE JOTA CARS

[faint dirge]

I hate non America Motorsports sometimes

[native crystal]

WE AINT GETTING NO FUCKING POINTS

https://tenor.com/view/wanna-kill-myself-the-office-michael-scott-steve-carell-frustrated-gif-13414030

[faint dirge]

He's crashing out

[wintry oxide]

nevermind number 50 dipped

what's going on

[marble willow]

Well there’s something you don’t see everyday.

The Toyotas are now in 4th and 6th

[faint dirge]

Idk I was watching the #38

[native crystal]

38 is a lap down

er

ignore it

[faint dirge]

Did the #50 pit

[wintry oxide]

I guess so

[faint dirge]

THERES ALWAYS HOPE

[native crystal]

STOP IT

https://tenor.com/view/jordan-stop-it-gif-15830202965985496707

[vale gull]

Mustang gt3 my beloved brother

[faint dirge]

The #50 camera keeps dying

[vale gull]

Why did it put brother

[faint dirge]

I love it in LMU

Ferraris cameras fuckin suck

They keep dying

[wintry oxide]

I disagree because it's not a factory ferrari, but I agree as it's still a ferrari

[faint dirge]

And it just died ahain

[faint dirge]

NO

LET ME HOPE

FERRARIS CAMERAS ARE DYING ON BOTH CARS

HELP

[native crystal]

this is the closests ive ever been to killing myself

TOYOTA #7 leaving pitlane

On yt

[winged cedar]

WEC has onboard

[glacial spindle]

Is the the official server ?

[faint dirge]

Toyota #7 on its outlap

[lethal yacht]

ah a caddilac fan!

[native crystal]

yes

[winged cedar]

No, this is just where all non-F1 motorsports go

[marble willow]

go toyota 😐

[winged cedar]

We’re also not the offical F1 Discord, just the original one

[faint dirge]

Oh wait there's the onboard for the #12 caddy

Is he a lap down

[vale gull]

Don't think so

[faint dirge]

THERE IS HOPE

[charred sand]

💀

BOTH CADDYS HIT THEMSELVES...

[faint dirge]

DONT SKULL ME

[faint dirge]

It's buttons fault

And then they penalized the 12

I don't see an ounce of reason as to why Lynn is at fault

[light cedar]

Might as well be the official one though tbh

[winged cedar]

Nah, then we have to be policed by MBS

[marble willow]

Hell naw

[winged cedar]

I’d be banned 6 times over

[faint dirge]

I hat-

[marble willow]

NO WAY

[faint dirge]

WHO IS THAT

IS THAT AN ALPINE

[marble willow]

THE PRIVATEER AF CORSE ENTRY

[native crystal]

FERRARI AND CADILLAC LIKE TWO PEAS IN A POD

[light cedar]

I don't really have a favorite team besides Iron Lynx but that has more to do with the car they are fielding than the team itself

[faint dirge]

Ah

[native crystal]

CAR 51 DRIVE THROUGH PENALTY

[light cedar]

Of all the cars on the entire grid, my favorite car is the AMG GT3 EVO

[faint dirge]

As y'all can tell due to me being in the US I'm stuck with onboards

[native crystal]

VSC violations

[light cedar]

And fuck HBO Max

[faint dirge]

I can't see the actual race just the onboards of certain cars

[marble willow]

Same here

It happens to me with IMSA as well, apart from like the odd few NBC broadcasts

[faint dirge]

THERE IS HOPE FOR CADDY LET ME COPE

[lethal yacht]

how unfortunate seeing them both pit

[lethal yacht]

theres still 200+ laps to go so

[native crystal]

how are we back in the points already @faint dirge maybe you were right

[light cedar]

I remember the #50 AF Corse having like 50-70K viewers on the onboard at the final few minutes of last year's 24H of Le Mans

[faint dirge]

WE ARE?!

YAY

[marble willow]

Yeah

[native crystal]

8th now

[faint dirge]

#7 pitted

[light cedar]

The 's having it quite bad rn

[faint dirge]

Literally watched it

Again idk what we're at race wise

I just know there's a race

[light cedar]

Remember when Hypercar only had like 6-8 teams on the grid if that

[wintry oxide]

the bop murdered them

which I dont mind considering they were favoured the entirety of last season

[light cedar]

Then wtf are the 's doin

[wintry oxide]

same

[marble willow]

Toyota P3!!!

[faint dirge]

Now have them kill each other like the caddy's did and we're even

[wintry oxide]

toyota and porsche got the short end of the stick bop wise

[charred sand]

[faint dirge]

Lmao

[marble willow]

3rd time’s the charm?

More like 3 strikes, I’m out.

[wintry oxide]

Patiently waiting for the 4th

[faint dirge]

And 5th

[wintry oxide]

why not ban rather than mute

[timber umbra]

Because I cannot so I have to alert the staff about it

So I muted them in the meantime

[wintry oxide]

ah

wild

[faint dirge]

I've seen people do this up to 10 times consecutively

[timber umbra]

If you are going to evade your mute or ban at least be smarter than literally snitching on yourself twice

Bro literally said "this is my alt" once and the third time named the account the same thing as the original account

[wintry oxide]

yeah

name yourself "not the guy mute evading"

[timber umbra]

Also he would have literally been unmuted in a day but is now permanently banned because he evaded the original mute 😭

Smartest Discord user

[marble willow]

Or

“If you think I am an alt, you’re gravely mistaken”

[wintry oxide]

if he said it so politely I couldnt help it but believe him

[faint dirge]

"I'M STRONGER NOW"

@faint dirge what happened to the 38

[faint dirge]

nvm he's back

he was on mute apperently

[vestal lance]

Not again

[west notch]

no way that guy came in with 2 alts 😭

what an idiot

[marble willow]

Oh, we have a yellow

What for?

[west notch]

prpbably caddy

[winged cedar]

Aston beached

[marble willow]

Man….

[west notch]

oh fuck off

a lmgt3?

[winged cedar]

Nope

[west notch]

fml

[winged cedar]

One of the hypercars

The 009

[marble willow]

Hell naw

[west notch]

just log off Aston

[marble willow]

Poor pace
Door flies off
Now the 009 is beached

[winged cedar]

Nevermind back on track

[west notch]

oh great

[winged cedar]

Left something smoking on track though

[wintry oxide]

So uh

does race direction just not like car 51 or what

[winged cedar]

I legit think the 51 team took a shit in someone’s dinner

[west notch]

looked at that crash for the first time

Button is a dumbass

[shy gate]

what's happening??

[marble willow]

Who in their right mind brake checks their teammate under a SC

[winged cedar]

Well Button does have a impeding grid penalty for F1

[shy gate]

70 place gird penalty

[marble willow]

Well, if positions 1-2 remain like this, we’ll see a Ferrari-Toyota 1-2 in the manufacturers standings

Only thing is…. Who would start of the year in P3

There’s no clear indication

[winged cedar]

Probably BMW

They’ve done well so far and improved the most

[marble willow]

True. 5th and 10th

[winged cedar]

Porsche needs to get lucky

[shrewd hollow]

Highly unlikely

Why is aston ass here also

[winged cedar]

Proof that V10’s don’t make it better

[marble willow]

V12

[winged cedar]

Also first year

[winged cedar]

Even better

[marble willow]

I’d be damned if a Judd V10 is used for LMH by god knows who

[winged cedar]

Well both Mercedes are in the pits as well so 🤷

[shrewd hollow]

This race has been painful to watch ngl

[marble willow]

Also, if this is how the Valkyrie is gonna be in the WEC, I doubt it would be any better in IMSA, despite BMW, Cadillac, and Porsche having better fortunes there than in the WEC

(And then again, Lamborghini didn’t do squat in IMSA as well, so I guess Aston could have the same fate)

[winged cedar]

Oh

Was that the Proton losing their back end?

[marble willow]

Oh shit, you’re right

[winged cedar]

Yeah the Proton rear end is fucked

[marble willow]

A bit of the right rear is gone

[winged cedar]

Went gravel bashing

Yellow

[marble willow]

Man….

[winged cedar]

VSC now

[marble willow]

Look at that bit of bodywork flying around

[winged cedar]

That was a major jump

[winged cedar]

First WEC race?

[marble willow]

8 toyota is in

[shrewd hollow]

No this one is just sad

[marble willow]

You a Cadillac/Porsche fan by any chance?

[winged cedar]

I’m for McLaren cause duh, Porsche as well cause of the Dames and also by obligation (Kinda)

[uneven hinge]

Is Porsche/Ferrari any better?

[shrewd hollow]

Nah but still

[marble willow]

Porsche’s not doing too well in LMH rn, while Ferrari is leading the LMH field

1-2 for AF Corse

[shrewd hollow]

I think I'm damaging my brain

[winged cedar]

Porsche apparently came in heavy

[shrewd hollow]

(I'm a Porsche fan)

[winged cedar]

6th and 7th for Peugeot now

[winged cedar]

All explained

[shrewd hollow]

Ferrari's good also

I just had high expectations from Porsche

[marble willow]

I’m surprised that Mclaren 720S is still the LMGT3 class leader, knowing the average performance of the 720S GT3 itself

[shrewd hollow]

"Porsche engineers knew exactly what their objective was" my ass

[marble willow]

Welcome to the world of Balance of Performance.

[shrewd hollow]

I'll be out on the next flight

[winged cedar]

I’m actually surprised the Lexus is giving them a run for their money

[marble willow]

Yeah. I was shocked when I saw the Akkodis RCF leading briefly earlier on in the race

[winged cedar]

Also the red on that Lexus is fucking beautiful

[shy gate]

safety car? why?

[winged cedar]

Proton threw debris on the track

[opal field]

Proton lost control and left debris...

[shy gate]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kawzxC_smJ4

[shy gate]

this is the first wec race i'm watching btw

[wintry oxide]

welcome to multiple hours of agony and pain based on who you support

[winged cedar]

It’s more overall strategy then putting the foot to the floor racing

[shy gate]

still haven't found someone to support

[winged cedar]

And a lot of changes as well all across the field

Well you support Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren so pick your poison pst McLaren for GT3

[wintry oxide]

I'd wait for next race to pick who you support. BoP was terrible for this one

Although Im glad seeing porsche finally slapped to the ground

[shy gate]

mclaren for gt3

[winged cedar]

They should drop all the weight by Le Mans

[marble willow]

AF Corse' been a strong contender ever since they returned to the top step of endurance racing, with them winning Le Mans back to back in 2023 and 2024

Toyota's been the team that's dominated the WEC from 2018-2023, with them winning Le Mans from 2018-2022.

Meanwhile Penske Porsche's dominated the WEC last season, with them gradually improving from their initial season in the LMH class. Porsche's also done exceptionally in IMSA, too, with them winning Daytona back to back, not to mention, them winning last year's IMSA GTP title.

[marble willow]

Even with a huge BoP hit, Toyota still manages to be somewhat solid.

[shrewd hollow]

Excuse me

[wintry oxide]

toyota's got the experience to back it

[wintry oxide]

last season bop was the shittiest it ever was

[marble willow]

Hey, I mean, at least there's IMSA. Surely the BoP at Sebring won't be as bad as it is now

[shy gate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNWCpE4s5EM

[shy gate]

i knew about toyota's dominance before

mclaren first in lmgt3

[marble willow]

Yeah. Shockingly enough

[winged cedar]

It’s McLaren BMW Corvette for the moment in GT3

[shrewd hollow]

Put me behind the wheel and I'll lead Porsche to glory

[marble willow]

Ok, miss Nick Tandy.

[winged cedar]

Can’t be any worse then Frey,

I’m missing Bvoy already

[shy gate]

how many racing series do you watch?

[marble willow]

Lilou Wadoux jumpscare

[marble willow]

F1
Indycar
IMSA
WEC
MotoGP (kinda)
Nascar (kinda)

I don't watch Nascar as I do with the other series, meanwhile, there was no TV channel I have that broadcasted MotoGP in the USA, apart from rn, which is FOX

I would also include the JGTC, JSPC, and Japanese F2, but those aren't current racing series

[winged cedar]

I’m only on F1 and WEC, I don’t have the time for anymore

Fire

[marble willow]

Oh come on another SC

[shy gate]

i watch:

• f1
• f2
• f3
• formula e
• started with wec
• f1 academy (sometimes)

[winged cedar]

Fire in the Proton Ford

[marble willow]

💀

Another Mustang fire

First the prologue, now the race

[marble willow]

@west notch

[shy gate]

what happened once the door flew off? do you get a penalty for that?

[winged cedar]

Oh shit that thing is smoking

[winged cedar]

Unsure, I haven’t looked through the logs yet

[wintry oxide]

Usually not

[faint dirge]

Who's winning

Where's caddy

[wintry oxide]

you get a penalty if you keep running the car with the door open

[shy gate]

how not?

[shy gate]

they retired?

[wintry oxide]

its endurance, shit happens

[wintry oxide]

I dont think they retired, usually you can fix things like these

[wintry oxide]

but then again, I dont know how this specific scenario played out

[faint dirge]

FERRARI DIDNT FUMBLE?

[marble willow]

No. Still an AF Corse 1-2

[faint dirge]

Wow

[frank raft]

crashed into each other a while ago

[wintry oxide]

but I remember this happened to either a ferrari or a cadillac last season, yet they just kept running till the door was closed

[glossy parcel]

rip ford

[winged cedar]

The 009 Aston got the black and orange flag for it but that’s all

[wintry oxide]

although they almost got forced to get in a couple of times

[marble willow]

12th and 16th

[faint dirge]

Depression

[glossy parcel]

man if they just didn’t crash into each other

[frank raft]

6th and 16th actually

[faint dirge]

It's jensons fault

[frank raft]

current standing rn

[faint dirge]

Fire him

[faint dirge]

6TH?

[shrewd hollow]

I'm no Nick Tandy call me Michèle Mouton

I'm not a rally racer tho

[faint dirge]

Everything is Yuki's fault

[shrewd hollow]

What?

[faint dirge]

Caddy is Yuki's fault/j

[winged cedar]

Can’t blame Yuki for everything

[marble willow]

How about I call you Sarah Bovy

[shrewd hollow]

Bro who even are you 💀

[shrewd hollow]

Aight bet

[faint dirge]

I'm here

[faint dirge]

Can we blame the fia

[shrewd hollow]

Do we know eachother? I'm not allat online here

[faint dirge]

No lol

Im Fuckin around

[winged cedar]

Yes

[faint dirge]

They penalized the wrong fucking car

[shrewd hollow]

Werms fault everyone

[faint dirge]

It's your fault

[shrewd hollow]

Blame the weird beastboy pfp

[faint dirge]

That's joker

Well

Kid joker but still joker

[shrewd hollow]

Yeah if you're talking in the mirror

[faint dirge]

Batman beyond stuff

[shrewd hollow]

It looks like beastboy

https://tenor.com/view/hearts-smile-beast-boy-teen-titans-love-gif-16968815

[faint dirge]

Beast boys teeth and smile ain't that devious

[marble willow]

Cmon #7

I know you won’t win, but at least snatch P2

[faint dirge]

Ferrari p1 crashes out due to a gust of wind

[marble willow]

Nah……

Don’t do them like that

[faint dirge]

Why not

[marble willow]

The leading two Ferraris are practically untouchable

[faint dirge]

For now

[winged cedar]

51 Ferrari got another penalty

[marble willow]

💀

[faint dirge]

LOL

RIGHT AS YOU SAID THAT

[marble willow]

Jesus christ, the 51 is a penalty/investigation magnet

[faint dirge]

IMMACULATE TIMING

[marble willow]

However, the 83 and 50 are the ones that are leading

The 51 is not in this fight

[faint dirge]

....fuck

PENALIZE THE 83

[marble willow]

For doing nothing?

[faint dirge]

For existing

Existing is a penalty

[marble willow]

Jeez, where’s Danne when you need him.

I bet you two would have a grand old time talking smack about Ferrari

[fleet kindle]

Hello rista

[shrewd hollow]

I support two teams bro

Ones already sucking ass

[modern oar]

i know i would

[light cedar]

Wait a second how did The Heart Of Racing get their door back

[shrewd hollow]

Let Ferrari shine atleast

[faint dirge]

N o

[marble willow]

go toyota!

i support tgr and af corse

[faint dirge]

Toyota or caddy for the win

[shrewd hollow]

Warm you weird beastboy i will turn you into waffles

[marble willow]

what????

[shrewd hollow]

I will

[modern oar]

jota wouldve won if it wasnt for jenson 😭

[faint dirge]

Yuki is trying to eat me

[shrewd hollow]

Make warm waffles

[marble willow]

What????????

[shrewd hollow]

Allegations

[light cedar]

I really hope to see the WEC hypercars as GR.1 cars someday

Please make it happen Polyphony

[faint dirge]

Never

[shrewd hollow]

I spelt the name differently

[marble willow]

uh

[light cedar]

The GR010 needs direct competition

[faint dirge]

NEVER

[shrewd hollow]

Bro I'm not trying to eat a human

[marble willow]

How would you feel during the Group C era when Porsche was dominating left and right and then all of a sudden, Jaguar brings the XJR-8 and 9 to the table, punching a hole in Porsche’s winning streak

[faint dirge]

Idk

Depressed

[light cedar]

Really does feel like an outlier in the class. You have your Group C cars then the late 2000s-early 2010's stuff and the 2015-2016 Prototypes then there's the GR010 all by itself

[faint dirge]

Would crash out on reddit /j

[shrewd hollow]

Gunc

[marble willow]

And then what if I told you that Sauber-Mercedes would eventually dominate the World Sportscar Championship 2 years in a row afterwards

Oh, now the 50 is in 1st

[faint dirge]

Crash out on discord

[marble willow]

GO 7

GET THE 83

[faint dirge]

83 gearbox explodes due to some gum getting stuck in it/j

[marble willow]

Stupid LMGT3 traffic

[winged cedar]

LOL, 3 hours in pits and sending the 60 Mercedes out now

[marble willow]

Just retire the car

No point

[winged cedar]

It’s the first race Iron Lynx has with Mercedes

They need all the data they can get

[marble willow]

Cmon just a little bit closer

[timber umbra]

Kind of weird how bad Mercedes have done so far considering how old and well-known that car is

[marble willow]

If you want old, look at the RCF GT3

[timber umbra]

Lello used to say the best thing about the Mercedes was the fact it was always good everywhere no matter what track or drivers you put in it

So it is weird that they are doing so bad now in WEC

Would not be surprised if they are still struggling with the torque sensors like they did at Daytona

[marble willow]

It feels odd

A FOOL

[marble willow]

LMH top 10

[old osprey]

ferraris actually consistent

kmag getting out now

[marble willow]

Can I just say that the Peugeot's have been performing surprisingly decent?

[old osprey]

lexus first and last somehow

[marble willow]

Normally I'd expect them to be at the lower end of the top 10 for the majority of the race, but ig not

[marble willow]

Wait, Akkodis is leading???

Good god

[old osprey]

for now

vette pitted earlier

[marble willow]

#7 Toyota is in

[west notch]

I guess I have to root for Mick now

[old osprey]

caddy curse continue it seems, what happened ?

[west notch]

wait I just realized

[old osprey]

51 serving penalty in the box

[west notch]

why is Wec racing on a friday

[west notch]

Big dumbass Jenson Button brake checked his teammate

Alex Lynn

under sc

[old osprey]

💀

its pitting time

[west notch]

https://youtu.be/eCSvhBUCay0?si=V9ageMjzgtme46jl

[old osprey]

top 4 about to come in

puegeot p4 for the moment!

[west notch]

I'm going to be talking about this for the rest of my life

[old osprey]

THEY WERE 1-2??? 😭

[west notch]

YES

[marble willow]

button brake checked lynn

[west notch]

get this old man out

[old osprey]

jenson you MUPPET

wow man

here we thought jota would bring caddilac to the podium

[west notch]

they arent bringing shit

Fire Button

bring back Ilott

[old osprey]

toyota finally leads

ilott has been tossed around recently

[lethal yacht]

they could still get points today

[west notch]

who

[lethal yacht]

Cadillac

[west notch]

fuck points

[old osprey]

jenson said nah, ima hit the brakes early

[lethal yacht]

I gotta warm up the tyres

[old osprey]

jotas debrief is about to be hellish today

ive never seen a team give up a 1-2 like that in my life actually

what a sad moment

[lethal yacht]

caddy fans can never get a break

[west notch]

I hope Alex Lynn swears at Button

[marble willow]

Meanwhile at the 1995 Italian Grand Prix:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ40VbN6DKM

[west notch]

Cadillac should just pull out

Ford will do better

[old osprey]

the only american manu getting fucked

i dont think they should leave

the caddy is fast

its just very unfortunate

for no reason

[west notch]

no it's just too much

[marble willow]

I guess Chip Ganassi transferred the burden onto JOTA

[west notch]

It's the car I'm telling you

Idk if Cadillac casted a spell on it or what

the wrong spell

[old osprey]

how is it the cars fault for jenson being a small-brain

that car is rapid

[lethal yacht]

Is kevin magnussen driving

[old osprey]

they just are not lucky

[west notch]

The car is cursed

[marble willow]

Marciello is in the car

[old osprey]

like bro, van der zande won the fucking petit le mans with no headlights

how unlucky is that

he couldve been black flagged

[lethal yacht]

number?

[marble willow]

I wouldn't say that's unlucky, considering the main thing is that he WON the Petit Le Mans

[west notch]

the car is a deathtrap along with the drivers being pulled into the spell

[marble willow]

The D. Vanthoor-Marciello-Magnussen BMW is running 10th

[old osprey]

he was moments away from a meatball flag i reckon

[west notch]

the car mind controlled Jenson Button and made him brake check Lynn

is my theory

[old osprey]

it couldve been anyone

at least caddy isnt lamborghini, if, or vanwall right

[west notch]

except it's mostly Cadillac

[marble willow]

Pipo Derani, Sebring
Louis Deletraz and Fred Vesti, Daytona
Earl Bamber, Spa Francorchamps

[west notch]

Cadillac has had the most misfortune and the largest crashes

[old osprey]

if you wanna sulk, look at how shit lamborghini was with their first ever factory racecar

lamborghini put together the most pathetic attempt at racing ive ever seen

[west notch]

I don't give a shit about Lamborghini

Cadillac has been through far more

[marble willow]

At least they weren't as bad as Nissan's LMP1 program

[fleet kindle]

Wec happening rn?

[west notch]

Okay they are slow

I'm not on about pace though

[marble willow]

Yeah. It's been happening for hours now

[fleet kindle]

oh

can't watch, bouta go sleep

[old osprey]

im just sayin though, caddy is fast, they just are unusually unlucky

[fleet kindle]

😭

[marble willow]

The 50 and 83 Ferraris are currently leading the 7 Toyota

[west notch]

I know the Caddy has pace

[fleet kindle]

who's leading?

[marble willow]

The 50 Ferrari

[old osprey]

damn

do you guys prefer the caddy sound or aston sound

[fleet kindle]

wo

[west notch]

You're telling me shit I already know 😭 I've been watching Cadillac painfully for 2 years

Cadillac

AM is a close 2nd

[marble willow]

Meanwhile, the 95 United Autosports Mclaren is leading the LMGT3 class

[old osprey]

i think caddy is number 1 still, such a brutal engine

[fleet kindle]

LIGHTNING MCQUEEN 🔥🔥🔥

[old osprey]

it is what it is

caddy will hit a good stride trust 😎

[fleet kindle]

would love to watch but geo blocks..

[old osprey]

or maybe they will just be plauged with unluckiness for the rest of their life

[fleet kindle]

and not on fancode

[marble willow]

Thankfully there are free onboards on yt from Toyota, Ferrari, etc

I've been using them whenever I watch a WEC race

[old osprey]

im surprised TNT is broadcasting wec

rossi overtaken by the american

is rossi not cooking today

[west notch]

we need a command with all of the cadillac bullshit

[marble willow]

.CaddyCurse

[old osprey]

or .Sadillac

what has happened with astons today then

i tuned in half way so im not sure

[west notch]

slow, door off, gravel trap

idk im not watching

probably more

[old osprey]

merc suffering as well

[marble willow]

That's way better

[winged cedar]

Well Merc and Aston both only joined this year with their respective programs in GT3 and Hypercar

[sudden void]

What channel broadcasts qatar? Sky sports?

[winged cedar]

Expecting shit to happen

I’m just streaming via WEC website

And now that I’ve got my screen sharing sorted I’ve had zero delays

[west notch]

wait Mercedes are new to WEC?

[marble willow]

Yeah

[west notch]

damn I never noticed

[winged cedar]

First year in GT3

And rumours of hypercar down the line

[old osprey]

i mean merc has been doing gt3s long enough that i'd expect a little better

[west notch]

facts

[marble willow]

If they do make a hypercar, I can only imagine them using the same engine from the AMG GT3.

i hope they also do a homage to sauber-mercedes when it comes to their liveries

[winged cedar]

Starting to think Iron Lynx is the problem

[old osprey]

man that aston is a thing of beauty

[winged cedar]

Cause last year when they and the Dames had that dogshit excuse of a Lambo the Dames made it work

[old osprey]

what is commentator yappin about

[winged cedar]

Aston breaking

[old osprey]

mbs is never gonna get v10s into f1

[winged cedar]

Horner has backed it

It’s all down to how well sustainable fuels develop

[old osprey]

it would be good, and we have the fuels to do it potentially

but v10s are not what the car manus want

v10s are dying from road production entirely anyway

its probably the least reliable v engine of them all

[winged cedar]

Then F1 would become even more of THE Motorsport for V10 lovers

[marble willow]

Audi and Lamborghini have killed them

[marble willow]

Hah. F1 will never reintroduce V10's.

The V10 fanboys can stay mad about it

[old osprey]

what is far more achievable however is a return to the v8

they should try for that

[marble willow]

If they want V10's, they can look at GT3 championships that still utilize Audi R8's and Lamborghini Huracans...... albeit by a smaller margin at this rate

[old osprey]

but they will never depart from the hybrid v6 again

people need to accept that

thats the future of motorsports pretty much

[marble willow]

Screw that, they should bring back the inline 6's

[old osprey]

even though manufacturers are pulling out of electric commitments, the world governments are still trying to shove the ev bullshit down our throats

evs are literally the least eco friendly of them all

[marble willow]

At this point, I already accepted the fate of everything going electric, so we might as well enjoy things while it lasts

[old osprey]

plus no one actually wants to pay for the infrastructure to set up electric stations

so we're just in a weird limbo at the moment

we just have to pray that sustainable fuels can be truly carbon zero

[west notch]

Doesn't the EU plan to ban ICEs by 2030?

[marble willow]

Yes

[old osprey]

paris climate agreement or some shit like that

[west notch]

5 years 😔

[marble willow]

Also, I'm still very doubtful about the effectiveness of synthetic fuels

[old osprey]

porsche and toyota need to team up and save the ice

[marble willow]

Like I said, we have to enjoy things while it lasts

The ICE is pretty much in its last few years of living

[marble willow]

yeah, meanwhile toyota is all in with hydrogen, which is not even better in the slightest

[old osprey]

at least the ev commitments at the very least have been delayed

perhaps all the manus are joining the hypercar class now as a last hurrah to the ice

these years shall go down in history

#8 toyota rear antiroll bar failure apparently

losing time

[marble willow]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[old osprey]

#20 is on his ass

uh oh

[timber umbra]

All that is needed is another pandemic or dieselgate and sports car racing will be back in the shitter

[west notch]

real

[marble willow]

You know what, I'm not even gonna be mad if BMW manages to start off the year 2nd in the manufacturers standings

[old osprey]

#8 could fall down to 6th, bmw and caddy are chasing

mercedes in the garage again

double dnf for merc it seems

[timber umbra]

To be honest I think sportscar racing could be back in the shitter faster than people think

Lamborghini has already pulled out and Peugeot might in the next couple of years

[old osprey]

well they sucked

[timber umbra]

Porsche could also because they are struggling financially and are laying off thousands of people so it could be hard to justify continuing to run a million dollar race team then

[old osprey]

but yeah

we enjoy it while it lasts

[grave burrow]

How’s the valkyries doing ?

[timber umbra]

Bad

[grave burrow]

Ouch

[timber umbra]

Like 10 laps down

[grave burrow]

Okay that’s bad

Is the car just shit or

[marble willow]

Wait, seriously?

Fucking hell, first Nissan, now Porsche

[timber umbra]

Yes they will cut like at least 2000 people

Because it turned out that their electric projects are ending up costing like $800k more than expected just this year alone

[marble willow]

jesus fucking christ

Let's see.

From the WEC's inception in 2012, the LMP1 category lasted from 2012-2020 (even though lmp1's been around for longer)

I don't know how long it would take for LMH/LMDh to suffer the same fate, or a different one

[old osprey]

the manus are stopping their ev commitments for now

i hope its a wake up call for the govs

the manus know better than anyone
