[remote cove]

[remote cove]

the total part is just the sponsorship

[tight quiver]

it ends 24hrs after it started

[molten meteor]

Why

[remote cove]

fog

[molten meteor]

Oh right

[remote cove]

it probably wont restart until like 8am tomorrow

[molten meteor]

Damn bro

[empty jasper]

So race is gonna be like half the intended length

[molten meteor]

They should restart at 18 hours but idk

[empty jasper]

No Parc Ferme

Damn, the night is honestly my favorite part of 24 hour races

[spark bay]

Fuuuuckkk

[arctic wyvern]

[buoyant shale]

Earliest restart 7am

[open raptor]

Track time?

[buoyant shale]

Yes, CEST

[buoyant shale]

Last year same scenario or?

[timber umbra]

Yeah but last year it was just rain no fog

[tight quiver]

lasy year was soaking

[timber umbra]

But we lost all the night running

And it did not restart until 8 the next day or something

[tight quiver]

and they red flagged and lost the race

[smoky creek]

When will it re start?

[buoyant shale]

7am CEST earliest time @smoky creek

[tight quiver]

should we move this out of live sessions until it gets restarted because this is gonna be a long red flagg session?

[smoky creek]

Damn we miss night running

[buoyant shale]

Note earliest time, update at 6am CEST on when restart will be
Like if it's still bad at that time they might make it 8am or something

[timber umbra]

We can keep it because it is still technically live

Added some info to the channel topic

[tight quiver]

okay

[buoyant shale]

Yeah I would do that

So people don't come here confused why something is live yet no one is talking about it

Although idk how many people read the channel topic but anyway

[timber umbra]

The 24h of Nurburgring is currently red flagged due to heavy fog, earliest restart is 07:00 CEST.

Corberi’s defence had previously argued that as the Italian authorities had already taken action against him for the two incidents, the FIA was precluded from issuing further sanctions on the same grounds.

They also argued that Corberi’s actions were “in a state of anger, determined by the unjust fact of others” after a collision with Ippolito caused him to retire from the race.

An example of skiing was also given as reference, where an athlete was banned for only a single event after being found assaulting another competitor.

[arctic wyvern]

Le Mans isn’t streamed

[onyx sluice]

[tight quiver]

[tacit garden]

just looking into the ETRC broadcast again and wtf happend here

[timber umbra]

jesus

[tacit garden]

oh

perfect timing

some kind of brake failure?

[timber umbra]

He was hit on the rear right heading through Turn 1

And got spun around so probably got damage from that

[fiery ruin]

[spark bay]

Truck racing is so fucking dumb ngl

Just why

[tacit garden]

I mean, I don't see any reason why not

actuall that's not entirely true the tracks don't entirely seem fit

[spark bay]

Really wasteful, more dangerous and not really any benefit to racing trucks as opposed to normal cars

The tracks also aren’t made for it like you said

Portimao WEC: United LMP2 leads Alpine in final practice

Portimao WEC: United LMP2 leads Alpine in final practice

The ex-Formula 1 driver knocked two tenths from the lap with which he had topped the Saturday morning session in United's solo Oreca 07-Gibson, the Scot getting down to a 1m31.628s to top the times over the final 60 minutes of practice.
The time gave him the top spot by a couple of hundredths of a second over the Alpine A480-Gibson grandfathered LMP1.
Nicolas Lapierre set a 1m31.652s ...Keep reading

[lethal yacht]

Damn

POG

[fiery girder]

Nooo goldie

[tight quiver]

[fiery girder]

Where can you watch britcar live?

[tight quiver]

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

[fiery girder]

Ok thank you

[tight quiver]

29 praga out

and SC

29 praga back out

[fiery girder]

Yup

[lethal yacht]

That 87 Praga doesn't have the best of starts unfortunately

[tight quiver]

sadly not

the 87 had gearbox problems in race 1

[modern spade]

https://the-race.com/indycar/oward-takes-detroit-indycar-pole-grosjean-starts-third/

[tight quiver]

grosjean 3rd?

well done

[fiery girder]

The glickenhaus has some well vented wheel arches

That's what Open Wheel Experience does to you.

[peak ginkgo]

damnn

[lethal yacht]

I'm going to start bandwagoning Britcar thanks to Jimmer. IndyCar, WEC and SRX can make it all up. Over the F1 Weekend that should've happened

[fiery girder]

87 has pitted

[tight quiver]

i always love motorsport packed weekends

doesnt matter what is

as long as i find it intresting i will watch it

[fiery girder]

Jimmy is out of the pits

[lethal yacht]

Yeah. That's still good

[eternal ravine]

I really would like Pato to have a street course win, but like Penske hasn't won a single race yet this year

[lethal yacht]

WUT

[tight quiver]

AHAHASHASHDHAGHAG THAAT WAS CLOSE

cayman nearly took out praga

[fiery girder]

Yeah 2 just barely went

[tight quiver]

looked like the cayman didnt see the praga

[lethal yacht]

Is the 87 still a lap down?

[tight quiver]

uh i dunno

[lethal yacht]

Close 👀

[fiery girder]

The praga is tiny

[tight quiver]

yep

its too like the wheel arches of other cars

[fiery girder]

Yeah if you looked out your window you'd likely miss it

[lethal yacht]

Small but Look very nice to drive

[fiery girder]

Very grippy

[lethal yacht]

Yeah

And Light

F to the 31 Praga

[fiery girder]

F

69 in aswell

I feel like they need 2 announcers

[lethal yacht]

Yeah they should

[fiery girder]

This guy sounds a bit deflated just talking to himself

[lethal yacht]

Yeah. Sort of

[fiery girder]

There's no banter

[lethal yacht]

Yeah. It's better if you have 2 announcers. They would communicate a lot better.

With one announcer it's more chilled down

[fiery girder]

And if one makes a mistake the other one can catch it

[lethal yacht]

Exactly

I payed attention to the times and whoever is in the triple 1 Praga is scary quick

[fiery girder]

Yeah they caught and passed the other praga in third

I wonder if the triple 3 will catch the leader

[lethal yacht]

Idk they're still a second behind

With 2 minutes left

[fiery girder]

They just lost a bit of time

And now their stuck

[lethal yacht]

spoilers from Britcar and Jimmy's Next Vid
|| 85 Praga won overall ||
||Idk if there's an Overall points standings but Broadbent tried catching up||

Wait is there another race coming up or that's the 2nd race

Team Project 1 on GTE Am pole

@buoyant shale your favorite

LMP2 could be on pole ☠️

bwoah

there was almost just a crash in the pit lane

[modern spade]

between who & who

[timber umbra]

believe the toyota and the alpine

yeah the number 8 toyota and the uh

36 alpine i believe

[primal juniper]

What's the live session?

[modern spade]

WEC quali

at Portimao

[primal juniper]

Oh

[timber umbra]

Alpine on pole right now

[primal juniper]

They converted an f1 car to endurance?

[timber umbra]

No

It's an old Rebellion or something

[solar narwhal]

it is

it's the R13

[buoyant shale]

Well Glickenhaus is uh

In the exact same spot as they were in practice sessions

[modern spade]

yep

1.8s off the LMP1

[timber umbra]

alpeen

[modern spade]

and the grandfathered alpeen

is p1

gg

[buoyant shale]

"Hypercar Pole Position"

More like "LMP1 Pole Position"

[vast seal]

Glickenhaus.

[halcyon pelican]

Holy shit

[buoyant shale]

28 is the United Autosports car?

[timber umbra]

my expectations were low but holy shit

[buoyant shale]

Ah JOTA 1-2

Poggies

[solar narwhal]

where's the number 708 Glickenhaus?

[modern spade]

it's gotta do with tyre warmup

[modern spade]

Monza

debut

[solar narwhal]

lmao

oh

how bad is 11th in WEC?

[halcyon pelican]

Not racing yet

[modern spade]

very

[solar narwhal]

though that's behind a lot of Pro-Am cars so it must be pretty bad

[modern spade]

like they can make it up

[modern spade]

eh Pro-Am sus

[timber umbra]

Yeah it was sliding like crazy on it's outlap

Like it was wet and he was flooring it

Rear was all over the place

[modern spade]

cuz of the tyres

[buoyant shale]

People in YouTube comments were like "can't wait for Glickenhaus to beat Toyota!"

No

[mighty crane]

🇵 🇴 🇬

[modern spade]

the RWD cars in WEC are gatting a new tyre

from Michelin

[buoyant shale]

Tbh I actually don't like Glickenhaus at all, I just find them funny

[modern spade]

and SCG rn are the only dev team

for said compound

[mighty crane]

[buoyant shale]

The cars SCG make are pretty cool but James Glickenhaus himself is a bit ehhhhh what

[modern spade]

lol

also yeah

forgot the hand of BoP

[buoyant shale]

He definitely is the guy running the twitter I think

[modern spade]

the 007 is a pretty bloated car

and a done on the cheap project

[buoyant shale]

Still don't understand how the fuck BoP works

[modern spade]

like u don't get wat

how the calculate stuff

or how they balance things?

balancing is done by adding or removing weight in the form of ballast

[lethal yacht]

I will say. They're. Now 4 Tenths Off the problem is that they have the same pace as the LMP2 Cars

[buoyant shale]

AHH ok

[modern spade]

other ways are via implementing energy consumption limits, mandating torque map changes

and enlargening or decreasing the size of the engine air restrictors

this is WEC

IMSA goes further and mandates aero changes like wing angle and Gurney tape

[buoyant shale]

It's Interval

So they are 0.3secs off Realteam Racing

[lethal yacht]

well then

[buoyant shale]

So they are 0.9 off JOTA, the fastest LMP2.

[lethal yacht]

[halcyon pelican]

Wait how off are they from the Alpine

[modern spade]

1.8s

they will recover in-race

without reliability issues

[halcyon pelican]

Is it recoverable

[modern spade]

LMP2s don't have race pace

[buoyant shale]

It is recoverable but the question is also how will the Glick do race pace wise

[modern spade]

hilariously Jim's premonition from the Aragon test came thru

[halcyon pelican]

How do you know if the Glickenhaus has good race pace tho

[buoyant shale]

If this was Toyota it was easily recoverable but... Glickenhaus we don't know

[modern spade]

he said that the data showed

on short runs

LMP2s were in the same second as the LMHs

(his car)

but as they ran longer

they were better
