[grim grail]

That seems like a caution work taking.

[modern spade]

that's the issue with temp kerbs

[grim grail]

It sure is.

Might be a long one while they mend it.

Oh 800. Feet. Not meters.

[foggy fulcrum]

🇺🇸

[grim grail]

Whaaaat

Did you see what they pulled out from the kerb

Whaaaaaaaaat

[foggy fulcrum]

lmao

[split zodiac]

Bruh how did that get stuck under there

Good lord

[foggy fulcrum]

just shows the speeds they're going

[split zodiac]

I though it was a piece of the quarter panal or something

Not a radiator plate

[tight quiver]

wait what got stuck

[foggy fulcrum]

in a nearly 1600 kilo race car

[foggy fulcrum]

splitter + radiator pan

[grim grail]

It was like a 1m x 80cm bit of car.

I have never seen that much shit be pulled out from a kerb.

Restart coming up.

They look pretty feisty.

[modern spade]

Cindric got spun

[foggy fulcrum]

Oops, that's yesterday's NXS winner around

[modern spade]

peeps pitting

[foggy fulcrum]

not a fast stop for the 14

lmao HMS cars 1, 2, 3

is this a road course by any chance?

[modern spade]

and JGR cars just behind

[foggy fulcrum]

Caution!

Caution!

[modern spade]

CAWSHUN

[foggy fulcrum]

it's been a good race

it being a road course in 2021, it was pretty clear who was gonna be running up front

But still

Hamlin, Kurt Busch taking the gamble

[split zodiac]

Welp, nearly everyone pit

[foggy fulcrum]

the 9 was really riding Larson's bumper lol

a delay on the 9 stop

[open raptor]

Ha,Lin has nothing to lose staying out

[foggy fulcrum]

Larson leads Byron, Busch

Elliott just lost this race with that

[split zodiac]

They dropped it too early

Right on the tire

Oof

[foggy fulcrum]

heh it's that pit crew member that reset himself last year

[split zodiac]

Lol

At least he didn’t drive off when he was dropped

He knew something was off

[foggy fulcrum]

Wow that was a mess

Larson almost made it four wide into T1

TRUEX

NO

FUCK

[drifting sentinel]

ah yes 6 laps left, this is where I tune in

[foggy fulcrum]

BYRON AND LOGANO OUT

WOAH

FUCK

DUDE THE KERB CAME UP

[grim grail]

Whoa what is going on

The kerb is busted

The kerb fucked everyone

[foggy fulcrum]

THE KERB THEY'VE BEEN FIXING ALL DAY

[grim grail]

Fucking absurd

[foggy fulcrum]

HAS RUINED A DOZEN RACES

[grim grail]

Completely bogus

[drifting sentinel]

holy shit

[foggy fulcrum]

Probably what took out Truex too

[grim grail]

Dude

[foggy fulcrum]

Cuz that's where he went off

[drifting sentinel]

fucking carnage

[grim grail]

Get real, NASCAR.

What the hell

[foggy fulcrum]

That was a big shunt for Joey

fuck

That's gotta be the end of the race, right?

[median briar]

wtf

[grim grail]

They're lucky there was no contact between cars that had gone off.

[tight quiver]

what the fuck just happeneed

[drifting sentinel]

damaged kerb

[foggy fulcrum]

The kerb was fucked already

[drifting sentinel]

sent everyone off

[foggy fulcrum]

Oh shit nah

Truex hit debris, and then got spun from behind

Should've been a caution when that happened...

24 absolutely destroyed, Kyle Busch, Logano

Absolute shitshow

[tight quiver]

jesus fuck

is everyone good?

[foggy fulcrum]

That's a 2 million dollar wreck dude

[drifting sentinel]

everyone's got out I believe

[tight quiver]

HOW MANY CARSA RE INVOLVED JESUS

[grim grail]

This reflects poorly on NASCAR.

This was a good race, too.

[drifting sentinel]

massive 1998 Spa vibes

[tight quiver]

so that turtle is deadly

[drifting sentinel]

unbelievable

[foggy fulcrum]

That's a Daytona or Talladega level wreck

on a fucking road course

[grim grail]

NASCAR has a lot to answer for.

Gonna be a lot of people pissed.

Fans obviously, but the teams too.

[open raptor]

K U R B

[grim grail]

Kerb came up and ruined about, a dozen races?

They had been working on it intermittently all day, was ripping off floors.

[tight quiver]

kerb

[drifting sentinel]

I try to screenshot and my desktop goes black

Great job Sling TV, not even Netflix has managed to do that

[foggy fulcrum]

eh Netflix does it on mobile devices

[tight quiver]

the 22 got fucked when it touched the kerb

[drifting sentinel]

yeah so does any other streaming app

but on desktop it's a rarity

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah I think the lap Truex went out

Broke the kerb

[tight quiver]

like they touched the kerb and the cars just

[foggy fulcrum]

And it just got worse for Byron, Logano, etc

[tight quiver]

broke

is there any angle that shows every car touching the kerb

they are ripping the normal kerb apart wtf

[foggy fulcrum]

the debris the lap before

[split zodiac]

Bruh what

[foggy fulcrum]

which is what caused Truex to slow and get spun

[split zodiac]

Cars shouldn’t be ripping up the kerb

[tight quiver]

i have a soultion to not rip the kerb apart

slow down a bit more

oh they are stopped on track

[split zodiac]

Yeah

I think they were past the pit entry when they called the red

And the trucks were in the way already

[tight quiver]

like every car has damage on it

like they are getting air on that kerb

what

harvick has massive damage

[foggy fulcrum]

if they can restart this race i'll be amazed

[tight quiver]

I thought it was teh sausage kerb that was the problem

its the regular kerb

[foggy fulcrum]

and they even got rid of the turtle on the outside which ruined races yesterday in NXS

[tight quiver]

that turtle would have been actually somewhat decent to stop people trying to use more than the whoke track but since people launched on it

the 7 went full airborne on the sausge kerb

[foggy fulcrum]

lol they're just getting rid of it

[tight quiver]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/307437175916593153/876212960698179584/emoji.gif

they took the whole thing

now what

is everoyne gonna try straightline this chicane now

[grim grail]

Well, that was stupid.

[split zodiac]

They were suggesting to just paint a kerb on

[exotic meadow]

just paint a fake kurb on the asphalt

[tight quiver]

put nails there so incase you run over that

you get punctures on your goodyear tires

[grim grail]

That was extra dumb. Even for NASCAR.

https://streamable.com/qslx1u - for your viewing pleasure.

[foggy fulcrum]

Yep, all day they worked on it every caution, and then Truex the lap before, and they still don't throw a caution

There was half a fucking floor stuck under it

They still didn't do anything

[grim grail]

It was going to be a highlight of the season for NASCAR, like, look, we can do road races and they're exciting!

But we get this end.

Extra high level NASCAR shit.

[fiery girder]

This will become a controlar disconnected meme won't it

[lethal yacht]

Nascars Singapore sling

[split zodiac]

Bruh they’re just going to leave it kerbless

XD

[grim grail]

Gonna be a two lap shootout, or three?

[tight quiver]

is larson gonna win

[foggy fulcrum]

two

[tight quiver]

like half these cars have damage

cars are shooting into the pits

[foggy fulcrum]

overtime, it goes green, if there's a caution in the first lap, they go again

if it gets to white flag, that's the end of the race, either at the end or at the caution

[exotic meadow]

They're going to finish under green?

[foggy fulcrum]

yep

[exotic meadow]

Oh

[foggy fulcrum]

it's NASCAR baby

[tight quiver]

they got a saw on truex

[foggy fulcrum]

always finish under green

[tight quiver]

they are sawing the fender

[grim grail]

Yeah Overtime rules means NASCAR always has a green flag finish.

[tight quiver]

nascaaaaaaaar

[modern spade]

OT

[exotic meadow]

I meant that I thought they was going to finish under yellow

[modern spade]

[tight quiver]

fender is rubbin

[modern spade]

nope

[tight quiver]

what do you do

[foggy fulcrum]

nope

[tight quiver]

saw it apart

[exotic meadow]

kk

[grim grail]

That big porn star sausage will keep them from cutting on the inside.

That is a deterrent to keep ya from creepin' inside.

[tight quiver]

15

15 OFF

suspension broken

[split zodiac]

Why is the 15 off

Oh

[foggy fulcrum]

who's the 15?

[tight quiver]

i dunno

[grim grail]

The grip on the inside of the kerb is going to be way different.

[tight quiver]

i might be blind and it could be soemthing else

[drifting sentinel]

It was the 15

[foggy fulcrum]

15 of Davison

[split zodiac]

It’s so funny to me that crews just use Home Depot power tools to fix cars

Imagine if they did that on F1 cars

[grim grail]

They DO

They use leafblowers to cool brakes and radiators.

[latent rapids]

By Makita

[drifting sentinel]

at the end of the day all tools are the same

[grim grail]

Yeah, we all gather together in an F1 discord to talk racing.

[foggy fulcrum]

bruh this is gonna be forever lol

[grim grail]

I know.

[foggy fulcrum]

this is why i like 6pm starts

[grim grail]

I said it was going to be a long one a while ago.

[tight quiver]

go greeeeeeeeeeeen

[drifting sentinel]

anyone ever been to a NASCAR race?

them shits are loud

[foggy fulcrum]

that rain delayed race started at 8pm UK time, it finally went green at like 11 or 12pm

[grim grail]

I haven't been to a top series race.

Just local amateur stuff

But yes it is LOUD.

[split zodiac]

Bruh this is a clusterfuck of a race end

[tight quiver]

I remember that

[drifting sentinel]

I’ve been to two at good old Auto Club, 2012 and 2013

2013 when Denny injured his back

[tight quiver]

i sat and waited for the entire red flag and went to bed right as they went green

[drifting sentinel]

head on into a non-safer barrier wall

[grim grail]

This is going to be stupid. I bet that kerb is going to cause some more drama still.

I'm just watching this because of sunk cost fallacy now.

[split zodiac]

Yeah

This thing started at 1…. It’s 4:21 now

This is as long as an NFL game

[foggy fulcrum]

god damn it i didn't tune in for golf

and if there's a fucking whole golf channel why the hell isn't it always there anyway

[split zodiac]

Yeah

Ah

My name is better

[grim grail]

Wait 1PM where?

[split zodiac]

EST

[grim grail]

Oh my god what

[tight quiver]

[grim grail]

I started watching this three and a half hours ago

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah this started at 1pm local time

[tight quiver]

i tuned in for golf where is it

[foggy fulcrum]

it was a 1pm start

[grim grail]

What the hell

Like I said, sunk cost fallacy! I've spent this much time watching it, I'm gonna finish it.

Holy shit

[foggy fulcrum]

GOLF

[tight quiver]

i tuned in for the golf where is it

lmao rain

[exotic meadow]

If they red flag it its gonna be at least 1h stoppage to clear the track from the rain 😭 😭

[tight quiver]

its not an oval

[foggy fulcrum]

road courses have rain tyres

and windscreen wipers

[tight quiver]

go racering

pls

[exotic meadow]

Nascar have rain tires? Lol I didn't know

[tight quiver]

only on road courses

[foggy fulcrum]

They're pretty recent, and only on road courses

[exotic meadow]

makes sense tho

[foggy fulcrum]

I think last year was the first year maybe?

[grim grail]

Active radar at the track.

There's no rain.

It's not gonna start till at least 40 past.

[tight quiver]

green next time by

[foggy fulcrum]

it's the speedy dry

making it look like rain lol

[tight quiver]

oh sad

[foggy fulcrum]

dude fuel

[tight quiver]

speedy dry

[foggy fulcrum]

also that retro truck is amazing

[tight quiver]

are we supposed to race

[grim grail]

I've never seen a vehicle with such a large broom.

[foggy fulcrum]

what's that like an 05 F150?

thing's beautiful

[tight quiver]

retire it

[grim grail]

If 05 is retro I'm fucking vintage.

[foggy fulcrum]

well i hate to break it to you

[tight quiver]

go greeeeeeen

[exotic meadow]

it's restarting

[grim grail]

I'm not sure if we're going green with the safety car leading the pack.

Deeply unsure.

[tight quiver]

we should

[foggy fulcrum]

it's NASCAR

[tight quiver]

that would be fun

[foggy fulcrum]

wouldn't surprise me

[grim grail]

It could happen in NASCAR, yeah.

Oh my god turn one is going to be such a shit show.

[foggy fulcrum]

y'all think the FIA is inept?

[exotic meadow]

This race is confusing me so much wtf

[grim grail]

Oh my god he's right. NASCAR is - they're curious to say the least.

[tight quiver]

oh yeah t1 is gonna be deadly

[grim grail]

FIA at least pretends to conform to something.

NASCAR straight up makes it up as they go along.

Oh, lights out.

Next lap around is it.

[tight quiver]

2 by 2

[grim grail]

https://tenor.com/view/holdon-toyourbutts-jurassicpark-gif-4858777

[grim grail]

I gotta start hitting the weed pen for this

Oh shit lights back on?!

AHHHHHHH

[exotic meadow]

they're gonna refuel that car soon

[grim grail]

What the pace car?

[exotic meadow]

yea

[grim grail]

They've been busy.

Talking like Dibendededetto's life is over if he doesn't continue in NASCAR.

[foggy fulcrum]

tbf they're gonna need to fuckin fuel the 1 and the 11 at some point

[exotic meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/i-wanna-die-kill-me-now-jump-run-over-hit-by-a-truck-gif-17242856

Okay

Listen

I know I was adamant about this before, and even a little passive aggressive

But, is that rain?

[exotic meadow]

idk I think they're keeping the cameras wet everytiem they pass start finish straight

[grim grail]

Those little drops of rain?

Or just the detritus of the race that has struck the windscreen?

[exotic meadow]

It's been 15 mins now that it's like this idk if im tripping or smt

[foggy fulcrum]

did you tune in for the golf?

[grim grail]

Now I don't know!

[foggy fulcrum]

that's on the golf network

[grim grail]

Golf is more exciting than watching marshals doing intensive things with brooms.

[exotic meadow]

this is why this race is confusing me so much

[grim grail]

You haven't been here for four hours.

We have been born and shaped by this trial.

Don't act like you're scarred like us.

Oh god here we go.

[exotic meadow]

Yea

[foggy fulcrum]

HERE WE GO

[tight quiver]

WE ARE RACING AGAIN

FINALLY

[foggy fulcrum]

KYLE OFF THE TRACK

[grim grail]

Hamlin planned that so well.

[foggy fulcrum]

HAMLIN LEADS BRISCOE

[grim grail]

He knew exactly when to brake and not where to go.

[foggy fulcrum]

SPINNER

HUGE WRECK

[grim grail]

Oh shit

That was a big one.

[foggy fulcrum]

Truex, Austin Dillion, winner of both stages Reddick

[foggy fulcrum]

The 3's window net is up dude

[lone zodiac]

[split zodiac]

Are. You. Joking.

[foggy fulcrum]

Bubba Wallace bailed, the 34 went into the air and caused it

[split zodiac]

God dammit nascar

[lone zodiac]

oh brih what the fuck

[exotic meadow]

This Nascar 24h is kinda good

[split zodiac]

Are you telling me that this 82 lap race is going to go for 5 hours?

[exotic meadow]

so now they're gonna fix the kurb AGAIN?

[foggy fulcrum]

Martin Truex Jr has had nothing but shit luck all day

[grim grail]

Good lord in a situation like that you just wanna be off the track.

[foggy fulcrum]

Truex has had an absolute fucking mare

[grim grail]

Can't see anything.

[split zodiac]

Are we going to be doing a 6 hours of spa…… at IMS…… with NASCARs

[tight quiver]

24hr of ims

THAT HAAAAAAAS

[split zodiac]

That AMR crew is like:

UGH ANOTHER ONE?!

[latent rapids]

NASCAR Do us a favor just Cancel the race

[tight quiver]

airplane

who launched

[exotic meadow]

AMR is like: run over us

[tight quiver]

34 launched

the saws are out

[foggy fulcrum]

They're not gonna fuck with the regular season points battle like that unfortunately

Hamlin and Larson were tied going into this race, and are running 1-2

[grim grail]

Dillon all right?

[foggy fulcrum]

Idk

[grim grail]

His car was towed off but I didn't see him get out.

[lone zodiac]

is the haas team literally using saw and hammer to fix the car

[grim grail]

I mean obviously he's out but I didn't see how he looked.

[foggy fulcrum]

Lmao Brad's in the top 15

Dude if Hamlin's got the fuel... he's winning this race

[grim grail]

[exotic meadow]

wonder if this race gonna finish before Monday, I have to go to the beach

[grim grail]

I was going to watch the FE race eventually maybe.

Oh shut up.

[lone zodiac]

it finished like 6 hours lol

[grim grail]

Yes I know but replays are a thing.

[exotic meadow]

like when Nascar started

[foggy fulcrum]

oh shit

they're going to NBCSN

because of some poxy fucking golf

[lone zodiac]

caution now

[split zodiac]

I watched formula e, they red flagged it in 2 minutes, then yellow when a guy went off. Now this bullshit

What a day for racing

[modern spade]

uh

[split zodiac]

An absolute show

[split zodiac]

Bruh what was he supposed to do

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah they mentioned he would on the comms

[split zodiac]

His only option was to go into the jump

[foggy fulcrum]

Make the corner...

[modern spade]

take damage

[lethal yacht]

Who was it?

[modern spade]

bubba

[foggy fulcrum]

in the 23

[grim grail]

What the fuck Reddick

You have NO BONNET

So uncouth.

[split zodiac]

Wow they just ripped the hood off

THIS ISNT TUNER DRIFTING

[foggy fulcrum]

And again, that car won both stages

[split zodiac]

THIS IS GODDAMN NASCAR

[foggy fulcrum]

Tyler Reddick won Stage 1, and Stage 2

[split zodiac]

lol

[foggy fulcrum]

Now he's nowhere without a fuckin hood

[grim grail]

Mate a NASCAR driving around without a bonnet is peak NASCAR.

[exotic meadow]

Stage 3 is basically a full race apart

[foggy fulcrum]

it was more laps than Stage 1 and 2 combined

[grim grail]

Oh the drinks bottle is literally a bottle.

[foggy fulcrum]

the first two were 40, the latter is 42 + the overtimes iirc

[grim grail]

Ohhh my god the NASCAR thread bot posted the post-race thread already

64 minutes ago, haha

[tight quiver]

Have they restarted yet

[lone zodiac]

why are they still keeping the curb after seeing all of those crashes bruh

[split zodiac]

They legit had to switch to NBCSN because they had to show stupid golf

[tight quiver]

Finally I can watch the golfing

That I have been waiting for

[split zodiac]

Lol

[grim grail]

Lights still on.

I'm watching on TSN5 I don't have these problems.

[split zodiac]

They’re going around again…..

[grim grail]

TSN5 what the hell, man

[split zodiac]

Bruh really

[exotic meadow]

there was like 6 cars yesterday in Xfinity which went airbone, you thought they was going to fix them today?

[grim grail]

How many are there?

[split zodiac]

Well they took the orange kerb away

If they kept it for today, we would be on the 15th caution

And the 6th red

[foggy fulcrum]

there were four kerbs in those two corners

[lone zodiac]

yea its dumb

[foggy fulcrum]

three of them have caused issues

and two of them have been removed

[exotic meadow]

yea small steps

[split zodiac]

Quality IMS

[grim grail]

Oh Dillon was released, and talking on camera.

You couldn't really see his shunt through all the smoke.

The front looked pretty bad, though.

[split zodiac]

This is why the OVAL is the famous part of IMS. The RC might as well be the infamous part

[exotic meadow]

we officially hit 4h of race

[foggy fulcrum]

OH shit yeah we're back to ovals for the last two races of the regular season

thank fuck

[grim grail]

Okay, here we go. Pace car in.

[lone zodiac]

i have no hope

[exotic meadow]

Big Machine Vodka? More like only vodka in race direction

[split zodiac]

They black flagged chastain

[foggy fulcrum]

Briscoe!

The 6 in the air

ANOTHER SPINNER

[grim grail]

Ugh

[foggy fulcrum]

14 STOP AND GO

yeah

YEAH

[split zodiac]

Aaaand he spun again

Bruh

[foggy fulcrum]

CHASE BABY

[grim grail]

WHAT THE FUCK

[foggy fulcrum]

YES

[buoyant shale]

OOOO

[split zodiac]

HAMLIN

[grim grail]

BULLSHIT

[split zodiac]

WTF

[foggy fulcrum]

NOW THAT'S RACING

[grim grail]

OH MY GOD

[foggy fulcrum]

FUCK YEAH

AJ'S LEADING THIS RACE

DUDE

PENSKE IN SECOND

[split zodiac]

How did AJ get up there

[foggy fulcrum]

LARSON'S IN THIRD

[lone zodiac]

WOAH

HAMLIN SPUN

wot

whats happening

[foggy fulcrum]

AJ ALLMENDINGER WON THIS RACE

WHAT A RACE BOYS

[tight quiver]

Jesus christ

[grim grail]

Well that was insane.

[split zodiac]

GOOD FUCKING RIDDENCE

[tight quiver]

Whatvthebduck hapeoened

[foggy fulcrum]

Fuck it's nice to see the #16 car win a race

[split zodiac]

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[foggy fulcrum]

AJ ALLMENDINGER FOR THE WIN

Chase Briscoe gets a stop go and spins Denny Hamlin

[exotic meadow]

Lmao Aj

[open raptor]

THE DINGER WINS

[foggy fulcrum]

Larson's leading the regular series championship again

[split zodiac]

AJ with his LETS GOO

[foggy fulcrum]

Wait does this mean neither of the RCR boys is getting in to the playoffs?

[split zodiac]

Hamlin vs Briscoe fist fight?

[grim grail]

Well, that took four hours.

[split zodiac]

Because that spin was definitely not an accident

[split zodiac]

5*

No wait

You’re right

I’m wrong

[foggy fulcrum]

Wait Allmendinger's not a full season entry

[split zodiac]

That was a clusterfuck

[foggy fulcrum]

So it doesn't change the playoffs

[split zodiac]

Nope

[foggy fulcrum]

Reddick still ahead of Dillon then

[split zodiac]

I mean, next year cindric will be full time cup

[foggy fulcrum]

Hamlin also still hasn't won a race

So Hamlin's not locked in

[split zodiac]

Wait allmendinger used to race open wheel

Dude

[foggy fulcrum]

He's as good as obviously lol

[split zodiac]

That’s cool

Yeah

[exotic meadow]

I feel bad for the guy who's gonna edit highlights

[split zodiac]

Hamlin is definitely going to be pissed at briscoe

[foggy fulcrum]

bro he's 39

shit

[split zodiac]

Why did I imagine him to be younger

Also, notice how everyone else left after this clusterfuck ended

[chrome grove]

THAT JUST HAPPENED.

[split zodiac]

Yes

It did

[exotic meadow]

no we're still under caution

[split zodiac]

I’m betting that Hamlin is going at a fist fight with briscoe

Oop

They’re talking

This tension is palpable

[grim grail]

Well, yeah.

That's what you'd call a dick move.

[foggy fulcrum]

That's what I call good racing

[exotic meadow]

you must hate your racing position yea

[split zodiac]

I think briscoe was trying to race him, but when he was told he got a penalty he was like “fuck this” and dumped Hamlin

[grim grail]

I guess cutting a turn then spinning the guy in front after you get a penalty is good racing.

[split zodiac]

Yessir

[foggy fulcrum]

yep.

[split zodiac]

sarcasm

[foggy fulcrum]

Not sarcasm

Yep.

[grim grail]

Stay away from kart tracks.

[foggy fulcrum]

Karting's not a contact sport bud

This is stock car racing

[grim grail]

Nice passive aggressive response.

"bud"

[exotic meadow]

wha

[split zodiac]

You two are pulling a briscoe and Hamlin now

Passive aggressive

[grim grail]

Anyway, god damn.

That was a L O N G B O I

I know I joked that we could have INFINITE TIME during OT, but I didn't expect it to come close to that.

[split zodiac]

Let’s just focus on the rediculousness of this clusterfuck of a nascar race

[grim grail]

It was indeed a 240 some minute trial.

A bit less if you cut off the fluff at the start.

[exotic meadow]

btw how many drivers finished the race?

[split zodiac]

I don’t even know

[grim grail]

Not all of them that started.

[split zodiac]

Nor care

[foggy fulcrum]

I'm sure it was over 30

honestly

[split zodiac]

No shit

[foggy fulcrum]

A lot of very slow race cars but

[grim grail]

I am not wrong!

[split zodiac]

No you are now

Not*

Damn autocorrect

[foggy fulcrum]

Truex man what a fuckin daaay

[exotic meadow]

prob the biggest wreckfest since Austin

[foggy fulcrum]

Nothing went right for MTJ

Leads practice then this

Like come on

[grim grail]

There's a lot to unpack with this race.

[foggy fulcrum]

At least Larson didn't win for once

That's always a plus when that doesn't happen

[split zodiac]

Honestly, next year, they should run this, but go right at that split, go around the loop, then come back to the straight

No chicane

No clusterfuck

[grim grail]

Someone is going to ask their friend, so what happened during the NASCAR race? And they're going to have a hard time responding.

[exotic meadow]

yea

[grim grail]

I don't even remember if I had other plans for today.

[exotic meadow]

but imo Nascar isn't good in roval racing

[foggy fulcrum]

Like this was a good race

But i'm so happy they're back to ovals for the next two races

[exotic meadow]

yea it was good race because it was chaos

[foggy fulcrum]

Michigan and Dega baby

[grim grail]

I gotta watch a highlight package or something after the fact to remember what happened in the first two stages, haha.

[exotic meadow]

Stage 3 gonna be a single highlights

[grim grail]

Glad everyone was okay, there were a couple rough looking shunts there.

[exotic meadow]

Lot of big crashes ye

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah Logano and Dillon notably

[split zodiac]

I mean, nascars have the aerodynamic properties of a brick and they are getting slung around at 200 miles per hour on an oval. Throw some right turns in, and you have a clusterfuck. Especially when a quick left-right exists

[exotic meadow]

yep

[grim grail]

Logano and Dillon had the worst looking ones, Dillon's was hard to gauge 'cause all the smoke, but his car looked nasty when he came out of it.

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[foggy fulcrum]

They were fine though until the kerb got torn apart

[split zodiac]

Yes

Most of the race was normal

[foggy fulcrum]

Just the net being up was scary

[split zodiac]

Until the kerb was destroyed

[grim grail]

The first two stages were actually good racing.

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[exotic meadow]

yea but I prefer them in ovals, usually ovals offer better battles than roval

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[exotic meadow]

apart from today which was a wreckfest

[split zodiac]

I always like right turns

[foggy fulcrum]

luckily it's only 6/36 really so

still 30 ovals a year lol

[split zodiac]

But nascars were never designed for it

[exotic meadow]

yea

[foggy fulcrum]

they weren't not designed for it

it's not like road courses are that new

[split zodiac]

Yeah

But Watkins and Sonoma have a thing to them that makes them work

IMS RC just doesn’t have that

Charlotte works, kind of

And Daytona RC isn’t bad

[foggy fulcrum]

I hope Chicago can happen

[split zodiac]

Yeah

I mean, even the Indy cars jumped the bump once in the chicane

So it’s just that turn that was the issue

[foggy fulcrum]

Likewise in NXS

[split zodiac]

Everything else worked pretty fine

[foggy fulcrum]

It was only the one car

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[exotic meadow]

the issue was that kurb

or better say, those kurbs

[grim grail]

Yes.

[split zodiac]

That’s why I suggest this

[grim grail]

That kerb was problematic.

It was very NASCAR.

[foggy fulcrum]

they should just build better kerbs

[split zodiac]

Or cut right and go around the loop

Missing the chicane

[foggy fulcrum]

anyway i'm glad i put this channel live for that

[split zodiac]

Works in real racing 3 and grid autosport

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[exotic meadow]

Or change and making he chicane faster

[foggy fulcrum]

imma go watch an old nascar race where mtj does better 🤣

cya

[split zodiac]

Lol

Bye

[exotic meadow]

2009

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah not that old

I find Gen 5 and COT cars ugly as fuck so i don't like watching races with them

[exotic meadow]

lol

[split zodiac]

Yeah

[dry atlas]

when veekay appeared on the nbc broadcast it shouldve been a warning that turn 6 would become the 2DaMoon chicane

[elfin void]

More like the pit of ruined cars

[chrome grove]

this should be a part of the indycar calendar imo

[eternal sluice]

looks like a decent track

[chrome grove]

it is

it has lots of elevation too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbTbV8y_k0Y heres a lap of it

[marble willow]

It’s so tight and technical

[chrome grove]

is that a good thing or a bad thing

[marble willow]

Well, I would say it’s a good thing, as drivers would face a good challenge while racing each other

Not to mention there potentially being some good action as well

[chrome grove]

overrall if they just spice their facilities up a bit indy could run on it

didn't indycar go to japan

[buoyant shale]

IRL yes

The Indy Racing League

They went to Motegi

Motegi oval needs to be rebuilt if they would want to return tho

[hearty marten]

imagine the old monza oval for indycar that will be a death trap

[marble willow]

Indycar used the road course layout in 2010 iirc

[buoyant shale]

That's why bringing back the Monza oval would be absolutely stupid

[buoyant shale]

No, still oval

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Indy_Japan_300

[buoyant shale]

Yep

[hearty marten]

they need to build a oval thats not in america and indycar goes there

[buoyant shale]

In 2011 the oval was damaged due to a earthquake so that's why they used the RC that year @marble willow

[buoyant shale]

Quite a few options already

Lausitzring, Germany (needs SAFER barriers)
Twin Ring Motegi, Japan (needs renovation)
Calder Park Thunderdome, Australia (needs renovation)
Phakisa, South Africa
Autódromo Ciudad de Rafaela, Argentina (Probably also needs a renovation)

It's bigger then Iowa

And Iowa was a Indy regular track till last year

And delivered good racing

And might return next year

Thunderdome is essentially a scaled down Charlotte/Texas

why sweden

lol

they don't even have f1

[buoyant shale]

Now Sweden does have quite a few IndyCar fans most likely but it's not a ideal country in terms of how spread out they are, Sweden isn't a big country in population and location is quite far from the rest of Europe

Western Europe would probably be best
