De Oliveira had to give up ByKolles Le Mans seat

The 2010 Formula Nippon champion and long-time Nissan GT500 driver revealed he tested the ByKolles ENSO CLM P1/01 last year and that plans were also made for him to be part of the team's line-up for the preceding FIA World Endurance Championship round at Spa.
But Japan's strict immigration rules prevented de Oliveira from taking up the seat, as leaving the country would have prevented him from ...Keep reading

yes indy takes like a month

most of it is practice

lol how much practice do you need on an oval

#

i'd imagine it gets boring

in the race too

This week probably qualifying shootout

tawny hatch
#

lol how much practice do you need on an oval
@lament dove you'd be surprised my guy

lament dove
#

i mean

tawny hatch
#

Indy seems like your average oval, but every turn is so different than the last that even in simulators it takes a damn long time to master

lament dove
#

what could you do for 2 weeks straight

#

running different scenarios, tires, fuel loads?

tawny hatch
#

Work on your lap times to try to get the best quali result?

lament dove
#

ok but why not every other event like this then?

tawny hatch
#

It's just an extended period of practice, it's the biggest race of the season and one of the 3 (4) biggest in the world, of course everyone wants a ton of practice so they have a shot at the win

lament dove
#

ok

#

i guess

#

kinda overhyped imo, prob bc i dont like ovals

tawny hatch
#

The prestige of winning Indy is higher than winning the damn IndyCar championship

lament dove
#

thats true

#

same like le mans and norschliefe

tawny hatch
#

Yeah, just Indy seems like a simple track for the period of practice and preparation given so I can see how it's confusing

#

But you've gotta consider that these guys are running laps that go down to the hundredths, thousandths in the splits between them

lament dove
#

yes

#

with so little turns

tawny hatch
#

The higher up you qualify, the better, as the race is almost 50% luck

lament dove
#

y

#

is it 50% luck?

tawny hatch
#

Also more drivers attempt to qualify than actually can do the race, look up Fernando Alonso being pushed out

lament dove
#

yes ok

#

but why is the race 50% LUCK?

#

sry for caps

tawny hatch
#

It's 50% luck because you have to rely on your own pit strategy beating everyone else's, not having a blown tire, fuel issues, suspension issues, you have to worry about the looming threat of your wing having damage if you so much as tap another car, these aren't like GT cars or even F1 cars. These guys are going so fast that one mistake can mean anything from an extra long pit stop to a near-fatal crash. You just have to know the track, make your overtakes stick, and hope you don't have anything bad happen.

lament dove
#

ok makes sense

#

yea gt cars can take a hit

#

and prototypes too

tawny hatch
#

Yeah, those things can take dents and bumps and just have minor drop in performance

#

In an IndyCar, you bump someone and suddenly half your downforce is gone

lament dove
#

rly?

#

thats insane

#

anyway thx for the info

#

gtg

tacit garden
#

do their oval setups even produce a lot of downforce in first place?

tawny hatch
#

No problem man

#

Uhh the setup is really just to make the car fast as possible from what I know. I don't know much about what they do to the car irl, but in my sim experience I've always just tried to work on the car taking corners smoother and working on the perfect gear ratios. The wings don't need to be changed much, but I'd bet they do change that for downforce irl.

paper brook
#

considering how fast indy actually is and how small the margins are to be fast and the danger of it, it kinda makes sense

#

there’s not that many practice sessions really

#

7 practice sessions over a course of 9 days

#

I mean it’s a lot in comparison to other races but yh

lament dove
#

then why is it so long?

#

its like a month or something in total

random compass
#

before the pandemic, it was typically a month

#

indy tradition

smoky glen
#

Normally the first week of the month is for the Indy GP

#

Then 5 days of practice, qualifying on Saturday and Sunday, 2 more days of practice on Monday and Tuesday, Final practice on Friday, then the race itself on Sunday

tawny hatch
#

I've actually never watched the Indy 500 or Monaco GP, always watched the Coke 600 pre-race instead because I didn't watch IndyCar often and didn't know F1 existed

#

Now that NASCAR'S rule and car changes have pushed me out of the sport, I can enjoy the thrill of open-wheel racing on ovals

#

Hopefully see Castroneves get another 500 win and secure a seat at Penske for next year

random compass
#

nahh he didn't get pushed out of penske @tawny hatch

#

he kinda left himself

#

he's pretty happy where he is

tawny hatch
#

I know he's not being pushed out

#

Just I want him to have a secured seat for Indy for as long as possible

I never actually got to see Castroneves win Indy, so I wanna see it someday

Toyota prepares to give low-downforce aero Spa debut

The Japanese manufacturer's pair of TS050 Hybrids will have a new look this weekend as the WEC resumes following the coronavirus-enforced shutdown, having run in high-downforce configuration for the first five rounds of the 2019/20 season.
Toyota trialled its low-downforce aero in a private test at Paul Ricard last month as it bids for a third consecutive victory at Le Mans to go with its 2018 ...Keep reading

Also was that driver error? I’m not well versed on ovals but it looks like he clipped the grey curb on the inside

daring nacelle
#

yes driver error

#

touching that doesnt often end well

#

its angled differently to the tarmac so to touch it takes away downforce and its also not as grippy a material

#

could have been saved but he turned as soon as he touched it which kinda sealed the deal

#

then lost grip at the rear trying to correct

#

also outside the "groove" / the racing line there isnt as much grip so as soon as you're up there it becomes quite hard to get back without either crashing or losing a ton of time

not impossible but if you're going there unexpectedly it goes wrong

But he's a MotoGP driver
He has been for more time than anybody else on that grid today
He knows the risks, he even lost a friend because of MotoGP
If it was for things like this He would have retired a long time ago

Even Maverick risked his life when he almost go hit by Dovizioso
And he's still there tho...

He must’ve been scared shitless but he has legit been through worse, with the whole Simoncelli thing

That was something else...

Exactly. They know the risks. They know that they could die every time they go out and ride. It’s a part of the job. If they aren’t willing to accept that, they maybe aren’t fit for it. The shit that Rossi has seen? I think he’ll be ok. No doubt he was scared in the moment but seriously, who wouldn’t be

Even if it were a small percentage. Even if it was that 1% risk of losing your life. They know the risks of the job

translated from a German article via DeepL:
"The teams have two drivers for each car - one for the real races and one who will participate in the e-sport events, which are also part of the championship. The results of both races are equally divided in the championship standings so that in the end one team is declared the overall winner of both disciplines."

@glad lance the biggest difference between WRC and most local/national championships is that in a WRC-Rallye, the last stage is the so-called "Power Stage". Drivers can earn points based on their stage-standings just like in e.g. a F1 race.

#

So even if you're dead last in the overall Rallye standings you can get many points by being quickest in the Power Stage

#

Kawasaki have had their hand at MotoGP, right?

#

But they don’t have the funds and it didn’t go well for them

lethal steeple
#

It could've went marvellously in 2009 had they not withdrawn

#

they had The bike

#

and a killer lineup

#

Hopkins-Melandri

old snow
#

Ever see them returning?

#

They’re already dominating WSBK with Rea, are they not?

lethal steeple
#

only if they get millions of investment

#

#

Ducati, Honda, BMW, Yamaha have catched up to Kawasaki

majorly just Ducati

#

dorna forced kawasaki to stay one more year in motogp, because their contract was until 2010 before the withdraw due to the recession, in change of having their name completely removed with the bike being auctioned to potential privateers

old snow
#

Interesting backstory. So they just couldn’t afford it anymore?

lethal steeple
#

yeah, the recession fucked kawasaki hard

#

they actually could afford to continue until 2010

old snow
#

They must not make a lot of money per year

#

Even with sponsors

#

but management decided to cut the cord

Damn. No team sponsors?

Speaking to motogp.com pitlane reporter Simon Crafar on Saturday at the BMW M Grand Prix of Styria, Ducati Corse Sporting Director confirmed that the Bologna factory will decide who will partner Jack Miller in the factory Ducati Team in 2021 “before Misano.”

#

Ohhhh shiiiit

#

Chatting to Crafar during MotoGP™ FP4, Ciabatti confirmed Ducati and Bagnaia have agreed a new two-year deal. Ciabatti also said that Zarco will also be continuing with Ducati in 2021. However, Ciabatti affirmed that he and Ducati are still deciding who to put in the factory team.

“Yeah, it’s true we agreed a deal with Pecco for two years. It’s too early to say if it’s with Pramac or the factory team. We also continue with Johann Zarco and will make up our minds just before Misano.”

#

so its either so its either Pecco or Zarco, no Lorenzo

random compass
#

so

#

one will be at factory, one at pramac?

Return to Indy would be “very good for Formula 1”, says Todt

Todt, who is in Indianapolis to attend tomorrow’s 104th running of the Indy 500, spent the morning at IMS and in the company of Roger Penske, who bought the hallowed facility, along with the IndyCar Series, last November.
The IMS road course hosted Formula 1’s U.S. Grand Prix from 2000 through ’07, before the event went on hiatus. When F1 returned to America, in 2012, it raced at Circuit ...Keep reading
