[eternal sable]

personally? i see it unlikely Larson wins 5 in a row

[foggy fulcrum]

Both Chase and Martin are huge threats in Phoenix if they have the momentum from here

[eternal sable]

so this is concerning

hes def had a championship season

[lone zodiac]

i mean he won't get knocked out today

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah

TRUEX

[eternal sable]

yes but, no matter what happens today, doesnt mean anything if he doesnt win in phoenix

[foggy fulcrum]

BEATS ELLIOT OFF PIT ROAD

Guess who won Phoenix in the Spring

It’s your new leader, Martin Truex Jr

Elliot chooses the outside

[tight quiver]

GEICO RESTART ZONE

[foggy fulcrum]

Three HMS cars in the top 4

Three Gibbs cars in the top 6

[lethal yacht]

I would drive 500 miles and I would drive 500 more

[foggy fulcrum]

Chase Elliot can lock himself in with a 7th or better finish in this stage

Currently leading

[tight quiver]

i noticed some people have yellow windshield banner instead of black

is it because they are playoff drivers?

[foggy fulcrum]

They’re the playoffs drivers, yeah

[tight quiver]

i see

nice detail

[foggy fulcrum]

They also have yellow splitters and spoilers

[tight quiver]

nice

[foggy fulcrum]

I mean no one has any splitters left so

Okay yeah looks like it’s only the spoiler actually

Was the splitter too in past years

Less than 20 to go in Stage 2

Right now, looks like we’ll have the two Hendrick cars locked in

And it’s up for grabs with the Gibbs boys for the other two

with the Penske cars running -15, -23, -50

[lone zodiac]

stage 2 done

Elliot again

[foggy fulcrum]

Chase Elliot will be eligible to defend his championship title

He’s joined Kyle Larson, locked into the Championship Four

Bruh the 52 just wrecked the 00

And the 00 wrecked him back under yellow

00 being held for 5 laps

I mean what does he care

I’m pretty sure he’s literally last in the championship

Of full season drivers that is

Alright

Geez

[foggy fulcrum]

They go green with two laps left

If the caution flies before the white flag

They re rack and try again

If they take the white, next flag ends it

[buoyant shale]

Ah so technically race is already done but they added 2 green laps

[foggy fulcrum]

Caution or checkers

[foggy fulcrum]

For the 8th time, the 48 wins at Martinsville

Shit that was tense

[foggy fulcrum]

Might be 10 times actually

Kyle gets punted after the race lol

[foggy fulcrum]

Who was the one that completely wrecked Logano here a few years ago in a act of revenge

[tight quiver]

[foggy fulcrum]

Someone’s getting fiiiiiined

(It’s Denny)

[buoyant shale]

Wait that was the one that was wrecked by Logano causing him to be out of playoffs at Kansas while Logano was already thru so he revenged Logano at Martinsville right?

[foggy fulcrum]

Yes

[buoyant shale]

I know my EmpLemon vids hehe

[foggy fulcrum]

Yessir

Truex made it baby I’m so happy

JAMES SMALL

What a racing what a car control

Choose rule man I said it earlier

Fucking love the choose rule

[buoyant shale]

Playoffs feel artificial as fuck but one thing it definitely does it make things super tense

[foggy fulcrum]

[buoyant shale]

[foggy fulcrum]

Or a Kevin Harvick fan

[buoyant shale]

Imagine being a Kevin Harvick fan

https://youtu.be/vT_-tWNs5CA

[foggy fulcrum]

tbh NASCAR is just like that kinda sport

it's so dumb in every way

that's what's so good about it

[buoyant shale]

Formula E and NASCAR

The chaos types of motorsports

[foggy fulcrum]

[buoyant shale]

Truex still sounds Canadian

For some reason

In terms of his name

Apart from that he's as American as you can get

[foggy fulcrum]

He’s from NJ

Next weekend in Phoenix…

Zane Smith, Ben Rhodes, Matt Crafton, and John Hunter Nemechek will race for a Truck Series crown.

Noah Gragson, Austin Cindric, Daniel Hemric, and AJ Allmendinger, likewise for an Xfinity Series title.

Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr join Kyle Larson and Chase Elliot racing for the NASCAR Cup!

[tight quiver]

Then RX who wants to be crazy but kinda isnt

[fiery girder]

So a race with only 4 people?

[foggy fulcrum]

No lmao

Same as this race, only 8 people were in the playoffs

[fiery girder]

Not like cars then

[foggy fulcrum]

But that didn’t mean there were only 8 cars on track

It’s a full normal race, but only four drivers can win the championship

[buoyant shale]

Ah I know why Truex sounds Canadian to me

It sounds like someone from Québec to me

Well, Truex is a Walloon name, the French region of Belgium

So yeah that's why

[foggy fulcrum]

About a third of the US was French too

[buoyant shale]

The majority of people with this surname (as well as Truax and other variants) are descended from Philippe Du Trieux, who arrived in New Amsterdam (modern New York) in 1624.

GEKOLONISEERD, NIEUW-AMSTERDAM LETSGO

[foggy fulcrum]

So there’s a lot of Frenchy sounding names

[buoyant shale]

In land yes

But in population not really

[foggy fulcrum]

I know

[buoyant shale]

The French had a strategy of just claiming a fuckton of land, settling a few fortresses and towns but apart from that just trading with the natives

[foggy fulcrum]

But it’s just like not surprising

That someone with a French sounding name is American

[buoyant shale]

Ye

[lethal yacht]

Who won

[foggy fulcrum]

Bowman

[foggy fulcrum]

Truex didn’t score points for the first five stages of the round of 8

And pointed his way in to the championship four

What’s different between f1 and Indy cars

[marble willow]

F1 is set to a technical formula, where teams have to build their own cars, while Indycar is a one make series, meaning that all the drivers and teams use the same car. Indycar has been using the Dallara DW12 for nearly a decade.

"It was heartbreaking at the time, one of the lowest moments of my career," said Davidson, who will hang up his helmet after competing in this weekend's Bahrain 8 ...Keep reading

it's just that this incident didn't happen at Detroit

[solar narwhal]

don't really see it considering it's literally just a box with some slightly interesting areas

But yeah they should've bring back the old Detroit Layout from F1.

[solar narwhal]

or, even better, keep it at Belle Isle

[eternal sluice]

it’s literally just Baku but they removed the good parts

[buoyant shale]

It's IndyCar, so

It'll probably be decent

But still it ain't Belle Isle

[solar narwhal]

so basically Baku but just the 1st sector and it loops back to the start-finish straight where it would otherwise go to S2

[eternal sluice]

yep

[buoyant shale]

Yeah and T3 is a hairpin

[solar narwhal]

not even a good comparison tbh because Baku is much more than just a rectangle

[lethal yacht]

You know what's more

[solar narwhal]

whereas whatever this is... is just a rectangle 90% of the time

sure what is it?

[lethal yacht]

Take a closer look on the layout

[solar narwhal]

what's sus about it

wait

it's in the same area as the old street circuit

[buoyant shale]

Superior Rectangle

Wait why the fuck

Did a file embed

[solar narwhal]

that's the Indy oval bruh

[lethal yacht]

Yes

[buoyant shale]

Yes

Superior rectangle

[solar narwhal]

also if they're going to the streets of Detroit why not bring back the old street circuit instead of making a new one, especially if it's like that

also til NASCAR raced at COTA this year

well, either way we'll see how it plays out

[buoyant shale]

And also at Road America, Watkins Glen

Sonoma

Quite a few road courses

[solar narwhal]

COTA is the most unexpected for me

I thought NASCAR was 90% ovals

well it probably is but still

[eternal sluice]

superior oval

[buoyant shale]

And then next year

They're racing inside a stadium

[solar narwhal]

wtf

how small is that

[exotic wing]

a oval is a circle but not the other way around did you go to skool

[solar narwhal]

why not open with the Daytona 500 like they usually have

[buoyant shale]

1/4th mile

[eternal sluice]

yes but i don’t pay attention

[exotic wing]

respectable

[solar narwhal]

oh the Daytona 500 is still the actual opening round

also 1/4th mile seems awfully short even for NASCAR

[buoyant shale]

The Clash is always held before the 500

[solar narwhal]

400 meters

[buoyant shale]

But the Clash is non championship

[solar narwhal]

ah

[buoyant shale]

But yeah the Clash has only like 20 entries

This allows them to go to smaller ovals then usually technically

As the main reason NASCAR doesn't race at small ovals is field sizes being limited on them

They wanted The Clash in a big location also
But not a lot of short tracks exist in prime locations

But then LA Coliseum came up

One of the biggest markets in the US, which NASCAR hasn't been doing absolutely amazing in

Too good of a offer to refuse

[solar narwhal]

oh damn

well that makes sense

fair enough

but even then if you're allowing a person related to motorsport and could be brought in for his experience to buy part of the team and not have any control over a motorsports team then that's just odd

The New Zealander's quickest lap of 1m48.490s aboard the #8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID gave him a margin of four tenths over the championship-leading #7 sister entry in the hands of Kamui Kobayashi.
Hartley set a total of three laps at the start of the 90-minutes session that were quicker than Kobayashi's 1m48.898s mark.
The Signatech-run Alpine-Gibson A480 was slowest of the three cars present in ...Keep reading

[minor inlet]

so like

can we talk about jerez in moto gp

i think they needa make changes

[lethal yacht]

Oh Damn

They get DeFranceso than Kirkwood 😳

[tight quiver]

Kirkwood was suppose to drive the #26

But got released due to sauber and andretti deal falling through

[lethal yacht]

What the shit

Hold on

There's no way Kirkwood could make it to F1 From Indy Lights

[tight quiver]

No

He was supposed to drive Herta's car and Herta was supposed to go to f1

[lethal yacht]

The problem is

[tight quiver]

But since that deal fell through herta is staying

[lethal yacht]

Does Herta have enough licence points to even head to F1 Even

[tight quiver]

Not sure but that is what I heard was supposed to happen

[foggy fulcrum]

eh it doesn't matter

there's a 0% chance he wouldn't get an FIA exception

[lethal yacht]

Regardless my judgment is if Herta wins Indy Car then hes ready for F1

My other Question is Why Defrancesco than Kirkwood?

[tight quiver]

Kirkwood is already out of Andretti program

And something with car numbers I assume

Or money

[tight quiver]

:shorttrackracing:

[lethal yacht]

Possibly that. But likely he left

[tight quiver]

I think the deal ran out

[lethal yacht]

Lol Imagine years down the line Penske gets Kirkwood

[tight quiver]

And no point in renewing since defrancesco probably had more money for the #29 seat

Kirkwood can go wherever he wants now

[lethal yacht]

I mean hes going to be approached by a Team exception of Andretti

[tight quiver]

Which teams still have open cars

Alpine can take on Toyota after sorting WEC fuel mileage woes

The Alpine A480-Gibson was typically able to complete 28 laps on a single tank of fuel in the Bahrain 6 Hours last weekend, while the two Toyotas were able to go as far as 31 laps before needing to make a pitstop.
Having had a short break between the two Bahrain races to analyse the situation, Alpine now feels it can squeeze out an extra lap per stint within the limitations of its fuel tank ...Keep reading

The ALMS and the Stephane Ratel Organisation's GT World Challenge Asia will combine in the same as the GTWC Europe Endurance Sprint and Endurance Cups.

There will be a joint classification for the GT class across the two championships from 2023. The winning team of the joint classification will receive an automatic entry for Le Mans in 2024.

OOO

"In Europe we have five endurance and five sprint races, so going forward the plan is to have the same thing in Asia. The idea is to have the sprint races under the name GTWCA and five ALMS races under the endurance format."

The 2022 ALMS will go ahead next February as planned with four races in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, before what is being called the 2023 season kicks off most likely at the end of next year.
