#

I could go on and on about MotoGP and the others. Some truly underrated stuff

#

Most just like F1 or MotoGP. Not both

zealous stone
#

Yeah I'll check those out. Thank You.

paper brook
#

motogp is worth watching most of thetime

#

some races are boring as well cus marquez is insanely quick but thats just the way it goes in sports

#

moto3 and moto2 are generally really entertaining as well as the premier class

#

if ur gonna watch one id recommend watching all the races during the day if u can

#

cus if motogp ends up being a boring race moto3 and moto2 certainly wont be

errant sparrow
#

doesn't MotoGP almost always have exciting racing somewhere?

old snow
#

Eh, sadly not

#

It can be just as boring as F1 sometimes

#

Just not as often

errant sparrow
#

I don't mean in terms of victory, since Marquez often can just run away

#

but I mean like, battles for P3, P5 etc

old snow
#

In terms of middle field and stuff?

errant sparrow
#

yeah

old snow
#

Oh, yea even then. It isn’t always some intense mega battle

#

It’s usually just them trying to catch up

#

But again, not all that common

errant sparrow
#

ah, I don't watch MotoGP all the time, I am aware of epic last-lap battles (like Italy, UK or Austria last year), and I thought that even with Marquez having a 10s lead or so that battles in the (upper) midfield would be very common and exciting still

old snow
#

Even when Marc is dominating, it’s important to watch as even he can fuck up big time. It’s super easy to low side and fuck your chances of winning

#

That goes for all the riders. They can fuck up and the bike slides underneath them most of the time

#

Crashes are very very common

#

Doesn’t get too serious, most of the time

paper brook
#

yeah marquez has binned it from the front before lol

old snow
#

He’s also known for his saves though. Sometimes, he manages to lift the bike back up from what would seem to be some impossible places. It’s incredible stuff

#

I still don’t understand how he does it. With his knee? How would someone have that much force to lift it back up, mid corner?

#

It mind-boggling. All of it. That’s what made me fall in love with MotoGP. So much batshit crazy stuff

paper brook
#

yeah i love it and british superbikes as well

midnight abyss
#

MotoGP makes F1 look like a joke

naive pasture
#

Huh?

heavy shuttle
#

yeh what a joke, why use 4 wheels when you can save money and use 2

old snow
#

Eh. I wouldn’t say that

#

They’re both really great to watch. I don’t know why there always has to be a “better” sport. They’re both enjoyable in their own ways

#

F1 is just at a rough patch. MotoGP ain’t at its best either

paper brook
#

motogp used to be absolutely awful

#

back in the day

#

i mean it had cool bikes but the racing was not racing 99% of the time hahah

#

both f1 and motogp have been good recently despite one person dominating

old snow
#

Exactly

#

They aren’t at their peak and they are still pretty damn good

#

Sure, it’s frustrating seeing the same name on the grid at P1 but this is temporary

#

It won’t be like this forever. MotoGP did actually have a pretty awesome battle for the championship in recent years. Dovizioso and Marquez are prone to battling it out. Marc always gets the upper hand tho😉

#

Still, always exhilarating between the two. They guarantee you a pretty intense battle

paper brook
#

the race at austria was amazing especially because it was basically revenge

#

i was at the race at silverstone where rins beat marquez at the line that was great

old snow
#

I think the score is 4-1 right now for last corner showdowns between them

#

Dovizioso always seems to catch him on that

Glickenhaus to field two hypercars in 2021 WEC season

The team, founded by Jim Glickenhaus, had already stated its intention to take part in the championship’s new top class from 2021 and has now confirmed it will prepare to field two LMH prototypes.
"In 2017 we stood up and said we would race the new Hypercar class. We are moving rapidly to fulfil that goal,” the Glickenhaus team announced. "The engineering of our chassis is complete, and we ...Keep reading

Race of my Life: Martin Brundle on the 1991 British Empire Trophy

Race: 1991 British Empire Trophy, Silverstone
Car: Jaguar XJR-14
Even when I sat in a balsawood mock-up of that Jaguar XJR-14 it felt absolutely right. It had more grip in one tyre than my Brabham Formula 1 car altogether.
It was fun just to see how stupidly fast you could go through a corner.

meme review

lethal yacht
#

i guess he means in contention for title of most delusional but god damn

earnest lagoon
#

it's not completely out of the picture tbh

#

I doubt he can do it, but he can be in the top5

#

he showed great speed

heavy shuttle
#

and with great speed comes great responibility

#

he is immature

#

and it is frankly outright wrong that he is in a race car still

earnest lagoon
#

yeah he made some too bold moves still

#

I'm only answering from a driving skills perspective and not personality

#

I don't like him much either

heavy shuttle
#

His actions in that Indy online race, the same one Pagenaud hit Norris, proves that he still has that mentality

earnest lagoon
#

but he could realistically be in contention for the title at some point in the year

heavy shuttle
#

even with only getting 13th last year ?

#

or has he changed team

earnest lagoon
#

he have the same team but he is now the n1 driver

#

because they fired Bourdais

heavy shuttle
#

ah

earnest lagoon
#

seb 😢

#

I will miss you

#

new teammate of Ferrucci is the rookie Alex Palou

heavy shuttle
#

oh nice, he is quick

earnest lagoon
#

so he will definitely get the team orders around his races instead of helping Bourdais

lethal yacht
#

He is a stain on motorsports

earnest lagoon
#

that was not the point of this conversation

lethal yacht
#

I’m making my opinion known

#

I don’t care what anyone says, my opinion on him is permanently fixed

earnest lagoon
#

yeah, we all have opinions on drivers, but I don't let them interfere much with my discussions here because it only create heated arguments with people disagreeing if I start saying that I think "even if Verstappen is a very good driver, he's a big asshole"

lethal yacht
#

i mean sure santino has been good at times, i agree with you on that

earnest lagoon
#

He's not the only one in the racing world, he's just really bad at hiding it

lethal yacht
#

yeah

daring nacelle
#

yea

#

he has no chance of a title run it's dale coyne racing

#

he may fight for a win or two though because on ovals he is annoyingly fast

I only saw the 2nd half of the race but it was terrifically boring

Until that lap

then he crashed and it was over

Should i watch FE? nurbthink

keen egret

ye

#

its very competitive

naive pasture
#

depends

#

it can be pretty gimmicky

magic lynx
#

The fanboost and the attack mode stuff kinda puts me off

old snow
#

Same here. That sounds a little ridiculous to me. I’m sure it calls for some good battles though

remote cove
#

attack mode is cool

pure pecan
#

attack mode makes for some nice strategies

naive pasture
#

meh

earnest lagoon
#

Attack mode is as much gimmicky as put strategies in F1 or push-to-pass in indycar

#

Fan boost is just completely useless in the races

#

It's like having 5 extra seconds of push-to-pass in indycar, it makes a small difference but it would mostly be irrelevant

magic lynx
#

DRS with a small penalty

earnest lagoon
#

And most of the times the drivers who have it don't even use it to save more energy

heavy shuttle
#

I don't like the Fanboost system but the Attack mode is great

#

It adds strategy to the race

#

and definitely isn't a gimmick

pure pecan
#

drivers can decide to not use the attack mode until they're really close to overtaking someone or sth like that

#

or to get away from someone after they just overtook them

#

or they could use it randomly and not gain an advantage

earnest lagoon
#

fanboost usage is not mandatory

#

and yeah just like Maccaroni said, it's just like having one extra DRS activation in a race offered to you by the fans, it's not much but it allows fans to actually interact a bit with the racing while keeping it fair

The VEC D1 race went fine last week

would spend 5€per car again

to be fair that was a really special occasion

had the exact same last name

so could be related to that

if they do it based on last name they're fucking stupid

idk how they do it

because its their heritage

it was literally the flag used to fight the union in the civil war, you know, the union that won the war..

and its what they live by

pure pecan
#

lemme read on da wikipedia page

heavy shuttle
#

theyre obsessed with the ideal ology of flags in america

#

that autocorrected a space in it

earnest lagoon
#

The flag is also known as the Stainless Banner, and the matter of the person behind its design remains a point of contention. On April 23, 1863, the Savannah Morning News editor William Tappan Thompson, with assistance from William Ross Postell, a Confederate blockade runner, published an editorial championing a design featuring the battle flag on a white background he referred to later as "The White Man's Flag." In explaining the white background, Thompson wrote, "As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."

weary stone
#

but then they realised the stainless banner didnt work because it looked like they surrendered all the time, so they made the blood-stained banner

#

which worked for some 63(?) days before surrendering to the union

pure pecan
#

so from what i'm reading on adl fighting hate for good, it's a white supremacist flag?

still reading into the history

thank you

ill try to watch that tomorrow alongside an indy race

daring nacelle

heres a quote from the comments to hype you

#

NASCAR has spent the past 15 years trying to artificially manufacture the level of excitement that occurred in one day in 1992

pure pecan
#

in all fairness i never watched nascar other than part of a race in early 2020

daring nacelle
#

mhm

#

they are closer to WEC style in terms of how you watch

#

than open wheel race

#

because theyre so long

#

lol

pure pecan
#

i enjoyed the one i watched early this year

#

tho half of it were ads

#

idk how to feel about it now tho cus i was rooting for Larson

daring nacelle
#

i was a larson fan prior to the reveal

#

sad

pure pecan
#

ye thats why i was rooting for him kek

daring nacelle
#

if u watch live ever this year, that twitch channel uses UAE rebroadcast (still the american comms) so the ads dont come up

pure pecan
#

yeet

daring nacelle
#

makes u realise how much time is missed under adverts tho 😛

pure pecan
#

i counted the laps i missed due to ads

#

every 9 laps, 9 laps of ads ran

daring nacelle
#

yeah its dumb af

pure pecan
#

so you literally miss half the race

#

granted a lot of the time from that ONE race nothing much happened

daring nacelle
#

idk if thats the same for every track

pure pecan
#

but still

#

i think it was Pheonix that I watched?

daring nacelle
#

i think its fine when they do it under caution

pure pecan
#

ye i wouldnt rly mind that

daring nacelle
#

but its annoying if ur like 10 laps into the race and they do it

pure pecan
#

nothing happens during caution probably

#

yeah exactly

#

9 laps in and already ads

daring nacelle
#

yeah only pitstop

pure pecan
#

i watched one full indy 500

#

but it was Jimmy's indy500 so it wasnt really the actual thing

#

however

#

i was excited for most of the time cus he was leading

#

and watching him fail the pitsotp and loose for that angered me but i enjoyed the race otherwise

daring nacelle
#

2019 indy 500 was rather good

pure pecan
#

not the most recent indy500 btw

#

was last year

daring nacelle
#

the real one

pure pecan
#

its gonna be a good race

not just due to the racing

but because we know that rF2 will find a way to fuck something up

very much so

mainly like. the official broadcast on youtube was unlisted

it was public for a while

i hope it was an error

Dumb qn

#

But

#

Let’s say 2 GTE cars are on a qualy lap

#

Ones an Am car and ones a Pro

#

The Am car is the first to start their qualy lap while the Pro car is second

#

What if the Pro car catches up to the Am car during the lap and get stuck behind them

#

Do they risk overtaking the Am car

#

Or do they abort

One thing I hate about a lot of the internet motorsports community...

The levels of elitism and gatekeeping..

Especially amongst NASCAR detractors..
I know the tracks aren't complicated, but that is the whole point. It's supposed to be close and competitive racing..

If you don't respect ALL forms of motorsports, you aren't a true motorsports fan, plain and simple.

Take for example, drag racing.. It's not my thing, but man do drag racers have balls of steel. I mean strapping into a car that can hit 300MPH in 4 seconds must result in some absolutely NUTS g loads

#

(300 MPH is 482 KMH, by the way)

remote cove
#

rants about gatekeeping
"if you don't respect ALL forms of motorsports, you aren't a true motorsports fan, plain and simple."

#

Classic casual gatekeeping to talk about gatekeeping

pure pecan
#

define respect

#

cus u can respect all of it but not give a fuck about them

#

however

#

there are some pretty fucking stupid motorsports

#

which idk if i'd consider I respect

tacit garden
#

I mean ultimatively as long as people have fun it's okay; though of course there are things like those figure 8 bus races where you can objectively say it's not about sport/overtakes but about crashes

pure pecan
#

ye

#

it also puts up the question:
Is illegal motorsport such as ilegal street racing considered a motorsport?

tacit garden
#

I wouldn't say so

pure pecan
#

Cus I don't respect illegal street racing considering it's dangerous not for the drivers but for pedestrians + property damage etc, so if that would be considered a motorsport then I wouldn't respect all motorsport

tacit garden
#

it's racing but not motorsports

#

I'd draw the line at whether it's legal or not

#

e.g. official Rallyes also have a pretty high risk for person/property damage but usually there are insurances involved and the organisers have some kind of safety concept

pure pecan
#

oui

#

i'm reading this list and I don't really see anything i'd consider bad or that I wouldn't respect

#

other than maybe drag racing

#

at least those drag race cars that are super long whose sole purpose is to let out as much pollution as possible

tacit garden
#

"The leading championship series for sports car racing is the FIA World Endurance Championship, with FIA GT1 World Championship as its main series for GT car racing" well that's a little bit outdated

pure pecan
#

yeah lol

tacit garden
#

tbf their purpose is just to be fast

remote cove
#

Car go brrr

pure pecan
#

niek wot motorsport did u not respect

#

if any

tacit garden
#

keep in mind that for many years F1 also didn't exactly care about pollution

#

and they still don't use cats

pure pecan
#

ye I know

tacit garden
#

Actually I can only think of DTM as a major series that uses cats?

remote cove
#

Nascar probably

#

Not due to the racing but just due to everything besides it

#

It's all a big drama tv-show

tacit garden
#

the actual racing/sports aspect of it is pretty good imo

#

or at least it seems good

remote cove
#

Yes

tacit garden
#

I can't really watch the races here

pure pecan
#

to be fair it's not like F1 doesn't have drama

tacit garden
#

and the series definitely is trying to get away from their redneck-image

remote cove
#

Yes but it's not tv-show like latin

pure pecan
#

but I watch Nascar for the racing, I don't care about what goes on behind the scenes

remote cove
#

Drivers don't go out and have a fistfight with each other

#

Only in Nascar

pure pecan
tacit garden
#

are you sure about that

pure pecan
#

Ocon and Max too lmao

remote cove
#

That doesn't count

tacit garden
#

I mean yeah tbf it may not happen THAT much

remote cove
#

Ocon and max was barely fighting

pure pecan
#

lmao the first one

#

it's a nascar one

#

almost all of these seem to be nascar

remote cove
#

Yeah that's the shit I mean

pure pecan
#

guess there's another aspect of nascar I'm interested into

remote cove
#

In f1 they'd just either scream or talk and give a handshake

tacit garden
#

@pure pecan I just finished the list and I somewhat disagree to how the list is sorted... e.g. Touring Cars and Production cars as two similar categories seems pretty weird. One-Make series aren't a completely own type of racing but can happen in pretty much any type of racing (GT: Porsche Cup; Touring cars: Leon Cupra cup, or in previous years Audi TT Cup; Formula 4, Formula 3...)

#

and Monster Trucks as a kind of racing??? They're literally just stunt shows aren't they

pure pecan
#

ye that's was a big lmao

tacit garden
#

don't get me wrong I do see the appeal of these shows and I've been to a stunt show myself

#

but I don't really think they're racing/motorsports in the same sense as all the others listed there

remote cove
#

Bruh

pure pecan
#

uh oh

#

the rF2 magic started before the race
