Austin WEC: Rebellion eases to dominant victory

Austin WEC: Rebellion eases to dominant victory

Gustavo Menezes, Bruno Senna and Norman Nato had a trouble-free run in the polesitting #1 Rebellion R-13, taking advantage of being slowed only by 0.55 seconds a lap under the system of LMP1 success handicaps introduced for the 2019/20 season.
The more lightly-penalised of the two Toyota TS050 Hybrids, the #8 car shared by Sebastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Brendon Hartley, was powerless to ...Keep reading

Rebellion "needs to win when it can", says Senna

Senna, Gustavo Menezes and Norman Nato dominated the Lone Star Le Mans event at Austin in the #1 Rebellion R-13, comfortably outpacing the two heavily-ballasted Toyota TS050 Hybrids in a reduced LMP1 field.
The result marked the second triumph of the season for the Swiss outfit, which announced earlier this month that it will pull out of motorsport after this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours.

Toyota: Austin win was possible despite heavy handicap

Pascal Vasselon, technical director of Toyota Motorsport GmbH, stressed that the team was "always targeting finding a way to win" an event in which the TS050s were penalised by more than two seconds a lap.
"We did not come here telling ourselves that we were going to lose, it doest matter," he said in the wake of Rebellion's domination of the race on the way to a 51s victory.

no longer fastest car

then corvette is now the fastest car

It's not always 2 seconds, it depends on how many points the championship leader has compared to the competition, so now that Rebellion has won it's second race, the BoP will swing a lot more in Toyota's favour for the next race

Opinion: WEC can’t go on like this – time to axe handicaps

Given Ginetta’s absence from the COTA race, reducing the LMP1 car count to just a Rebellion and a pair of Toyotas, the chances of a thriller weren’t high from the outset. That said, you only need two cars to make a race, or so the old adage goes. It helps though when one of them isn’t castrated by a convoluted system of success handicaps.

The Japanese manufacturer had expressed interest in trying to lower Kamui Kobayashi's 2017 pole-winning laptime of 3m14.791s ahead of the start of the 2019/20 WEC season.
This would have likely involved a special attempt with the TS050 Hybrid running outside of the LMP1 Equivalent of Technology and success handicap rules, given the car's weight for the current campaign is 932kg, up from 888kg ...Keep reading

That’s good

#

All IndyCar races are in the Afternoon or evening

#

For us

#

Antwhere from 5PM to 1AM

bleak zinc
#

Same for F1 if you are a British fan (except from like Aus and Jap and some others)

#

So do u support any driver?

atomic berry
#

F1 or IndyCar

bleak zinc
#

Indy

atomic berry
#

Um

#

Macca has Oliver Askew and Patricio O'Ward

#

And Nando for the Indy 500

bleak zinc
#

Yeah

#

So do you know who looks favourites?

atomic berry
#

Well

lavish musk
#

Well right now indycar is staying in NA

#

For obvious reasons

atomic berry
#

The Penskes of Josef Newgarden and Simon Pagenaud came first and Second with Alexander Rossi in the Andretti came third

#

But in IndyCar you see

#

The winning driver only won 4 out of the 17 races last year

bleak zinc
#

Ooh

atomic berry
#

So it more about consistency than wins

bleak zinc
#

Yeah

#

That’s why I’m interested in it

#

I’m gonna watch the first race and see my feeling for each team

#

Is there like FP1, FP2 etc?

#

And then quali shoot out

atomic berry
#

Yeah

#

On Sky

bleak zinc
#

Ok

lethal python
#

dixon had alot of bad luck

#

same as power

#

but yeah consistency wins

#

500 is really important too because of the double points

bleak zinc
#

Oh I remember that guys name

atomic berry
#

Don't try to watch Laguna Seca or Portland live without knowing you will fuck up your sleep schedule for the next 3 days and drinking unholy amounts of red bull.

daring nacelle
#

was very surprised to see brands

lethal python
#

hopeless at the ovals

bleak zinc
#

How did the track look? Poor?

daring nacelle
#

not terrible

#

it is 70s brands so its not exactly the pinnacle of safety technology

atomic berry
#

Unless they were built 5 months ago or are test tracks Ovals outside the US are shite
