[sturdy vortex]

fucking hell

[trim dagger]

it doesn’t matter, a red flag when the weather was fine is never a good sign

and incredibly unprofessional

[timber umbra]

Yes they do automatically because the Nordschleife is considered a public road

[lethal parcel]

maybe imsa admin didn't know

[dreamy apex]

What even happened though

[main urchin]

Watch all the spooky lost media youtubers made vids on this within a few weeks

[viral warren]

Ah ok

[prisma sand]

If it was direclty after the crash maybe they were not paying much attention or smth

[dreamy apex]

Did someone lose control and it caused a pile up?

[timber umbra]

oil spill and a lot of cars went off

[viral warren]

Everyone lost control due to fluid

[halcyon pelican]

It was posted after the crash but before they knew the severity of how bad it was

[plain vector]

car oil spill -> numerous cars going off, and after that i cant really say without speculating

[gaunt galleon]

Pit manuveared

[prisma sand]

How was the oil spill caused?

[dreamy apex]

Dang

[timber umbra]

from a car

[dreamy apex]

Oil spills shouldn’t happen though

[plain vector]

allegedly from a z4 gt3 ahead, cant confirm exsctly

[timber umbra]

that is just speculation

with no foundation

[devout sky]

It's still highly unprofessional considering it's coming from an admin for one of the biggest series' in the world regarding a red flag at the nordschleife. If weather is fine and there is a red flag at the nordschleife you know no matter what, a giant and serious crash has happened

[dreamy apex]

It’s just what else could’ve caused it

[plain vector]

well...a car on track

[dreamy apex]

Like it’s a rlly tragic crash caused in good weather

[paper echo]

Fricking z4 bro😭🙏

[prisma sand]

Did it not go through the checks?

[west moss]

It's awful what happened

[dreamy apex]

I mean I don’t wanna speculate anything

[west moss]

I hope everyone here is alright

[viral warren]

Honestly any crash where they deliberately withhold the replay should be concerning and not joked about

[twilit laurel]

i mean one look at the (very laggy) 992 onboard shows it was definitely a major loss of grip likely caused by an oil slick

[timber umbra]

There are like 200 cars starting half of which are just normal roadcars so it will end up happening at some point

[devout sky]

It's very likely to be from a car ahead. In qualifying nothing apart from the Aston happened which could've caused the oil to have spilled

[dreamy apex]

If there isn’t a replay that’s a pretty obvious sign something bad happened

[timber umbra]

I am not denying the oil spill I am saying that anyone saying it was caused by the Z4 is just speculating based on nothing

[west moss]

Anyone wanna say I'm alright or not?

[twilit laurel]

ah ok fair enough

[west moss]

Because it was bad

Really bad

[prisma sand]

Fair enough but with racing on that type of track I think it should be necessary that proper checks are done

[timber umbra]

All cars are checked

[jade sleet]

Most likely before any information was released and I believe they have apologized

[trim dagger]

doesn’t matter

[west moss]

It's all clear after the red flag?

[trim dagger]

should be fired instantaneously

[timber umbra]

It is also possible that there simply is no replay to show because not all of the track is covered by cameras

[viral warren]

Unfortunately this has happened before so I kinda prepared for the bad news once the announcement for the 8pm conference was up

[dreamy apex]

True

[main sphinx]

May the guy rest in peace

[trim dagger]

you as an admin of a big sporting series should have a minimum amount of knowledge about the ring, a red flag is never a good situation

[dreamy apex]

There is only 1 onboard ik of so I’m assuming they’ve kept the other 6

[plain vector]

they are, but still at the end of it all its just some classes of cars (the dacia for example) that are rither really old or just road cars

[weary canyon]

dear lord what happened

[west moss]

It's happened before in f1, only 6 days ago another driver lost his life in a training i believe

[viral warren]

In F1?

[west moss]

7 car pile up and a 66 year old dead

[dreamy apex]

Someone died in a Nurburgring crash

[weary canyon]

miettinen

[west moss]

Yeah, there has been deaths in f1 before

[weary canyon]

im aware

sigh

[plain vector]

yeah i feel like the conference was a tell

[weary canyon]

oh yeah :(

[west moss]

It's not new here

[viral warren]

Yeah but wdym 6 days ago

[devout sky]

An apology after something like that is essentially useless. Anyone who would've have more than a second of thought would've realised, "holy shit. this is serious"

[jade sleet]

Would’ve been worse if they hadn’t apologized

[west moss]

I searched on Google another driver in another motorsport succumbed to his injuries

But it's not showing up now thanks to gemini

[weary canyon]

sigh

terrible man

terrible

but ngl i honestly was prepared for the bad news

[west moss]

I didn't even know it happened

[weary canyon]

sigh

[gaunt galleon]

I found an image of the crash

[twilit laurel]

dont post it here please

[west moss]

It's brutal

[dreamy apex]

The mods are gonna ban you if u post it

[west moss]

We don't wanna see it

[gaunt galleon]

Yeah I thought before posting

[prisma sand]

?

[weary canyon]

it was brutal and circumstances were such

[weary canyon]

do not post it dude pls

genuinely

[gaunt galleon]

I’m not

[weary canyon]

okay good

[gaunt galleon]

I feel its disrespectful

[weary canyon]

it was really bad

[weary canyon]

mhm

what the fuck is wrong with sky sports

[muted bronze]

Does anyone watch IndyCar here

I bet y'all do but still

[weary canyon]

im gonna head to bed

[weary canyon]

could not be any more disrespectful

jeez

wow

[quaint wing]

Oh a man tragically died but on the other hand max verstappen was there and lets be honest who gives a fuck abt the rest of the drivers there

Fucking sky sports

They aint even the only ones

[weary canyon]

Skysports fucking disrespectful asf

Wow

[weary canyon]

“Max verstappen’s nurburgring race”

man fuck sky sports

genuinely

[quaint wing]

Thats half of the head lines atm

[devout sky]

more here

[twilit laurel]

i've been looking at the events calendar and it's gonna be hard to reschedule tomorrow's race

[weary canyon]

mhm

[heady sedge]

even at times like these companies still care about viewership

[weary canyon]

Holy fucking disrespect

Fuck the media dude

[quaint wing]

The race will be going on it's confirmed

[devout sky]

fuck the media

[weary canyon]

All they talk about is max

[buoyant quiver]

Dude just died and theyre still leaching onto max verstappen

[weary canyon]

Fucking pests

[devout sky]

fuck capitalism

[weary canyon]

I hate the media with my life

[devout sky]

fuck news outlets

[weary canyon]

Istg

[twilit laurel]

yep, with a minute of silence for juha

[weary canyon]

Just pissing me off

Fuck every media outlet dude

All they talk about is max when someone fucking died

THIS IS NOT VERSTAPPEN’S RACE

fucking shitheads

[prisma sand]

If max wants to could he sue the news outlets for using his name for views?

[buoyant quiver]

“🚨 BREAKING🚨
MAX VERSTAPPEN in the nurburgring oh my god I want his meat please omg omg omg oh someone died btw”

[weary canyon]

yes he should

[buoyant quiver]

Meadia is horrible

[weary canyon]

Fuck sakes dude

Max should sue if he can idk if he can

[devout sky]

Using buzzwords isn't illegal

[weary canyon]

Using his name to gain viewership when someone fucking died

[prisma sand]

gng was this u

[weary canyon]

Yeah but given the current moment

[plain vector]

unfortunately, although highly immoral

[buoyant quiver]

No respect whatsoever

[weary canyon]

Plus his name is used

And its highly immoral

[weary canyon]

Mhm

[weary canyon]

Ditto

Yeah

Media is fucking insane

[viral warren]

No, but he could give them a telling off which actually tends to work

[weary canyon]

Fucking dumbasses all they care about is clout and viewership. Someone fucking died and all you care about is clicks on your article by putting max’s name on it.

Assholes

[weary canyon]

Yeah

[viral warren]

He’s a big enough celebrity to the point where that sort of thing is doable

[weary canyon]

Im going to bed

Fuck the media

[plain vector]

if it worked in that fateful red bull media room it can work again

[old osprey]

Also everyone, be wary, unfortunately many people are publishing ai videos of the incident just trying to get views. Rest in peace Juha

[prisma sand]

The level of immorality that some would go to is kinda crazy

[mellow osprey]

RIP, i am extremely shocked by what happened

[tardy garden]

RIP

https://www.youtube.com/live/ItfGuXjmUDI?si=_xitGZQnygMCEOVw well folks nonetheless IMSA long beach is starting soon im not sure if im gonna tune in still quite in shock with all thats happened wishing Juha's family well

[viral warren]

Well

Ended his practice early again by crashing

It might be time to end the experiment and get him back to WEC

with all that happened earlier today, imsa is getting started soon

[astral knot]

Porsche has been on fire with their liveries this year

[keen bolt]

A driver died at the Ring? That's the risk these drivers sadly take. It makes you appreciate the danger these drivers willingly put themselves into

[twilit laurel]

right... that white car is 🔥

sorry if that seems a bit inappropriate right now

Because it is easy to forget with all the advancements in driver safety, the sport is still dangerous

Jesus that looks terrifying

[pearl gull]

Holy fuck

[dense fractal]

Yeah

[twilit laurel]

i think it would be better to delete this… knowing theres a dead person in this photo

[frail wigeon]

Pretty sure the car's roof you can see over the ambulance is Miettinen's

[twilit laurel]

certainly looks like it with all the medics around the car

[viral warren]

it is, the other BMW is the 111

probably best to take that down though

[zenith nest]

holy shit

but take image down

[dense fractal]

Yes, I think so too.

[bronze edge]

man seeing something like this unfold infront of my eyes, it sends chills down my spine, RIP Juha Miettinen.

[zenith nest]

yeah

[devout sky]

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't criticise the news outlets using his name for clicks

[twilit laurel]

knowing him he probably won’t

he likes the attention

he hasn’t done anything about the annoying side of his own fanbase

ADAC is taking down every crash video

[viral warren]

Unsurprisingly yes

But tbf he had no practice this weekend

Which was only half his fault

[opaque fox]

hopefully his seat is freed up so kucharczyk can get in there

[remote juniper]

damn what happened with the crash?

i just woke up to see someone passed away

[desert vector]

Yeah it was Juha miettenin, a 24h adac driver in the qulaifiers, sharing the same track with verstappen

[zenith nest]

yea

[fiery olive]

is there any video of what happened?

[zenith nest]

all taken down

[fiery olive]

i see

[zenith nest]

yeah

[fiery olive]

i was just wanting to see it

[ionic ledge]

you dont

you really dont

[fiery olive]

understand what happened

[zenith nest]

sll the onbboards are really laggy anyways u wont get much from it

[fiery olive]

well i dont wanna see onboard

[ionic ledge]

I didnt watch it from a pov of someone who very crashed but i saw a outsider pov as i was onboard someone elses car, it was

[fiery olive]

is there any heli view?

[ionic ledge]

thank god they took it down 😭

[fiery olive]

because i dont even know how 7 cars pile up

[ionic ledge]

oil spill

onto track

[fiery olive]

i dont understand

how close were they?

its quali

[ionic ledge]

it was race not quali

[fiery olive]

it was the race??

[jolly coral]

It wasn’t even that bad omg

[fiery olive]

i heard it was quali

[jolly coral]

the crash wasn’t graphic or anything

[fiery olive]

no i beleive it was bad

ive seen 1 picture

i ust dont know where all the cars ended up

[jolly coral]

yes unfortunately a passionate driver died.

[undone estuary]

I saw a photo of the pile up and it didn't look that bad, maybe just the way that he hit the barrier

[jolly coral]

it was before the carousel

[jolly coral]

probably

He was 66 too idk if in great shape

[fiery olive]

which carousel?

first or second

[jolly coral]

the Nurburgring one?

First

mb

[fiery olive]

ah

[jolly coral]

Well at least I think so

cause I was driving it in AC and it seemed damn near similar

[fiery olive]

yeah ive seen that photo

but i dont see a bmw

[undone estuary]

That third car to the left looks busted up though

[fiery olive]

where is the bm?

[undone estuary]

Uhh I wouldnt have a clue lol

[jolly coral]

I think it’s hidden by the other cars

[fiery olive]

yeah thats why i want to see video

i want to understand what fully happened

[jolly coral]

or out of frame

[fiery olive]

who crashed first?

[jolly coral]

No idea

[fiery olive]

aint no way all 7 crashed at the same time

possible but very very unlikley

Thats the other BMW

Same car as Miettinen, similar colours but different team

[opaque fox]

do you have a video of the crash

[viral warren]

No

[opaque fox]

alr

[coral girder]

It was the race

First 25 mins

[viral warren]

Yeah its called qualifiers but its a race

Confusing

[opaque fox]

i wonder what decides the starting order, then

[coral girder]

Because it's made to qualify for the N24

It's a smaller race

[viral warren]

Rosenqvist to P1 lets go

[viral warren]

I assume it doesn’t set the grid right?

Its like a knockout system where they let a certain number of cars in?

[coral girder]

Nope just determine if you're eligible for the N24 or not

[coral girder]

I suppose yea

[viral warren]

Makes sense

[zenith nest]

vro im scared to watch nls4 now

[fiery olive]

they dont show anything

if your rerferring to the recording of the live stream

[regal quiver]

a pilot brother. Rest in peace, warrior. You are gone doing what you loved

[naive smelt]

Can we have some respect and not ask for videos of a fatal crash like it’s entertainment

[naive smelt]

Yes it’s called respect

There’ll be plenty of analysis and all coming up there’s no need for the voyeurism

[opaque fox]

im going to be frank with you, motor racing is a spectacle and it is all televised and all recorded
if you choose to participate in an event where you risk your life and are televised, i have the right to watch it

[naive smelt]

I don’t give a fuck what you think you’re entitled to don’t ask for it here

The announcement of driver injuries and Juha passing had not been known

You can't pin it on IMSA though

The comment was made by one person

However, any person who knows anything about motorsport should know, if a race is red flagged when weather is perfect, something serious has happened

Especially at the nordschleife

[heady sedge]

brooo 😭😭😭

[crisp lion]

Tbf there was good weather and a lot of barrier related incidents yesterday that were not serious at all, so thats probably why imsa made that joke

[wild brook]

Bruh, even BBC put more respect in their title

same with the guardian, they also actually respected and commemorated Juha with their titles

Oh shit yeah i forgot he's in wec now

Glad to see he's employed

Is it rolling start?

Nürburgring

yss

[devout sky]

a standing start wouldnt work at all

Figured

[devout sky]

when GT3 is starting there's the slower cars all the way back not even on the dottinger

[sturdy vortex]

standing starts dont work for most forms of motorsport

[devout sky]

probably out at pflanzgarten

[devout sky]

they only ever work in things where the grid isnt too big

20-30 cars is where it works

The crash happened right before the karussel right?

[devout sky]

anything past that is a shit show

hairpin before

He so one corner before bacisally

[devout sky]

yeah

Basically

[devout sky]

if the crash were in the karussell nothing life threatening would've happened

medium speed with a curved barrier

you'd just get thrown around on the wall

[zenith belfry]

Damn its clear that some people are just f1 fans that flocked to NLS for verstappen

[somber saddle]

I don’t think that those cars could handle the bumps unless properly set up. And even then, that’s sketchy as hell. Same with LMP2. LMP3, on the other hand, probably could handle the Grüne Hölle IRL. The Combined layout and the Ligier JSP3 was my favorite track-and-car combination in Project CARS 2.

[zenith belfry]

I saw someone who thought he was the #80 audi

Nvm

80 is mercedes im stupid

[devout sky]

learning this in the 499P has been a blast

and surprisingly

i havent meatballed once

just a few scrapes with a barrier

[somber saddle]

I take it you had to really make some major adjustments to the suspension and aerodynamics in the setup.

[devout sky]

Nope

iRacing fixed setup

longer layout than the 24h btw

[somber saddle]

So, the layout that includes the Mercedes Arena?

[devout sky]

yep

I'll show you the lap if you want

I'm in vc

[somber saddle]

Also, I definitely made suspension setup changes for the Ligier JSP3 for that layout. Raise the ride height and soften the springs for the bumps. Still brutal and bumpy, but I can easily go flat-out through Flugplatz, Schwedenkreuz and Angstkurve (whichever is the fast left before the right kink before the Steilstrecke hairpin).

[somber saddle]

I'm not sure what GT3 does but I'm pretty sure it's either a full minute or close to a minute quicker

I once broke 8 minutes in the JSP3 on a qualifying run. Not sure what later generations of LMP3 could do, but I’m absolutely intrigued to find out.

Is that really his livery?

[obsidian lantern]

Yea

[agile thunder]

Damn

[obsidian lantern]

Unsurprising tbh. These companies have money to throw

Any team would be happy to take a couple more dollars just for a livery switch up

Like UFC. It's literally all just gambling and alcohol ads

[agile thunder]

I just don’t like AI and promoting it for random images, etc

Has anyone ever had an incident at that fountain? I’ve watched Indy for a couple years now but it just seems like a bad idea

[devout sky]

Don't forget about me

[devout sky]

Generative AI is awful

[agile thunder]

Fr

[devout sky]

Most AI is bad

Generative AI is horrific

The AI that's good is the AI that's used to find cures for diseases or illnesses

[agile thunder]

It’s sad that people aren’t more aware

[devout sky]

And when they do pay attention they blow it off by saying that the water being used is part of the water cycle

We are literally in a global crisis for water supply

Because of the amount of water we are using being disproportionate to the time it takes for it to be converted back into usable and drinkable water

[agile thunder]

People use that as an excuse?

[viral warren]

this is one of the races of all time

[agile thunder]

Apart from Newgarden it’s been pretty mid so far if you’re referring to IndyCar

[viral warren]

it was action packed almost the whole way through

fox's shitty camera work just isnt paying attention

I’ve seen enough one million more street courses and max 2 ovals

[timber storm]

indycar needs more fast ovals

bring back Michigan

[viral warren]

Nah not fast ovals

Bit sketchy in these cars

Short ovals are the move

[agile thunder]

Ovals are more entertaining than street circuits

[viral warren]

Streets gotta be limited to like 4 a season all these races just feel the same

Too much decided on strategy and not enough racing

[agile thunder]

Yeah they’re all pretty forgettable

There might be some action yet

Random debris to the rescue

A race that summarises everything currently wrong with Indycar

[lavish shard]

considering that every city is built the exact same way, not a lot of variation for layouts :P

[round glen]

Austin Dillon would like to have a word

[viral warren]

Its not even just that, its more the same predictable fuel saving, following each other around for 20 laps, and then the race gets decided in the pits

[quiet fern]

Toyota looks stronger And will surely Challenge The 499p This year

[timber storm]

sounds... familiar

[viral warren]

If these cars could at least pass each other without a major offset it’d be somewhat interesting

[viral warren]

This is why I’m not a fan of refuelling in single seaters generally

Pretty much the same as an early 2000s F1 race on a narrow circuit like Magny Cours

[coral girder]

100kg more to toyota

[quiet fern]

Is that how bop works in Wec

I'm new to it so mb

[obsidian lantern]

5 second lead, 10 to go

Dixon on softs, I can only hope he has bad enough degradation to allow Kirkwood to pass

Yes, Ferrari get a slap on the wrist whilst Toyota get their car turned into a HGV

McLaren is gearing up for its first on‑track outing with its LMDh prototype ahead of its debut in the World Endurance Championship in 2027.

Remembering Michele Alboreto: F1 ace, Le Mans winner and a good man

Michele Alboreto was not someone who became interested in racing only once he was involved. He was like you or I – a pure fan – long before he became a driver, and each year he’d make the 45min journey from home in Milan to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.
In 1970, he was left tearful on witnessing Jochen Rindt’s fatal accident in practice, then felt the exhilaration 24 hours later as ...Keep reading

either way with these sports cars you do not want to be driving with tc and abs off, at least that’s how it is generally

Sorry I was muted for a day. Yes, we are getting a new chassis in 2028. I believe it was originally going to be 2027 but got delayed. It's called the Dallara IR-28

It's going have a lot of cool things about it and apparently are going to actually help keep the drivers cool

which will be nice

Since the aeroscreen definetely trapping heat.

[trim hare]

Neat

Will be a shame to see the DW-12 go

Had a lot of great moments with it

[naive portal]

Yeah I agree it was a cool chassis but to be fair it's been the longest used chassis by far. Over a decade now. It's definitely time for something new.

It isn't going to have much if any more downforce but it is going to be a whole lot more efficient from what we know

Which is nice, because as cool as having more downforce is, I like that indycar doesn't have nearly as much dirty air problems than F1

Since they don't go ridiculously heavy with the downforce.
