had that been finland everyone would have had their ropes and a dath wish

they wouldnt have waited

It’s too steep probably

But at least that means Craig gets third

PUUUUUUUUSH

ROPE

DRAAAG

whats this boring security

HAHAHAHA EVANS

had this been finland it would have been up already

[crude dagger]

TOo much of a risk

monaco stop being boring

gotta watch out for loeb coming

Exactly and then just fix it with some Duck tape

https://fxtwitter.com/autosport/status/1484854688293994499

what took them so long

can be done in 1 min if they actually tried

[naive smelt]

They didn’t have a rope

Amateurs

[tight quiver]

doesnt most cars have a rope in the boot?

[naive smelt]

I always have a rope in my bag when I go rallye smh

[tight quiver]

good

[naive smelt]

Yeah but you park far away because a great portion of the road is closed

So it’s not much use to you in the boot

[tight quiver]

i meant rallye car

[naive smelt]

Oh idk about that

Looks like it because the boot is open

But I think the main issue here was safety, it was not safe to get behind that car and risk unbalancing it in any way

Imagine if it falls on someone because they tried to open the boot

[eternal sluice]

most race cars have tow hook on front i think

he can't repair the car

he damaged during last stage I think

anyonewatch nascar?

Elfyn has retired too right? He’s lost too much time anyway didnt he

[naive smelt]

We watch just about everything with wheels and an engine here lmao

[wraith patio]

oh wow

i find nascar boring
so i wanted to ask people how to get into nascar

[naive smelt]

I guess watch and tune into the chat we have fun here and there’s always someone to explain sth you don’t get

[exotic meadow]

fr

as it stands I'm hoping Greensmith for the championship

[foggy fulcrum]

Okay

[wraith patio]

hmm

[tight quiver]

he has continued afaik

[foggy fulcrum]

I think it’s worthwhile watching some races from the Truck Series from last year

Like on YouTube, and just skip the ads and cautions when they happen

The races are shorter, and because the Trucks have spec engines and younger drivers, there tends to be a bit more action

[naive smelt]

Oh yeah the truck races are fun

[foggy fulcrum]

Comparatively the Cup races are more about strategy

Given the first two races of the season couldn’t be more different, my current recommendation for people who wanna give NASCAR a shot is to watch the Busch Light Clash, which is an exhibition event on a 1/4 mile super short track

And then watch the Daytona 500

[wraith patio]

alright

[foggy fulcrum]

Because if those two are actually good, then they sorta show both ends of the NASCAR spectrum

[wraith patio]

i did watch this year's daytona hilights

it was

eh

1. i didnt understand

2. only crashes

3. its kind of boring

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah Daytona and Talladega are weird and highlights don’t do them justice

[wraith patio]

but ill try watching

hm

[foggy fulcrum]

They’re known as plate races

So the cars are in huge drafting packs

As of this year, that might also be the case at Atlanta, but it doesn’t happen anywhere else

Give something like the Truck series race at Martinsville a shot, or the Xfinity series race at Bristol

Just, skip the cautions on the replay lmao

[wraith patio]

alright

[tight quiver]

i love packracing

its literally nothing between 35ish cars and they are trying to not hit eachother

[crude dagger]

Ott has retired for the day

Good for Olie he could keep going

Oliver no glasses 😕

Yeah he stopped

he cant drive like this

he has exhaust gases in the car

[crude dagger]

Rip Hyundai

Yeah

No studs

[runic oxide]

is any other driver on snow

WAIT SOFTS

[naive smelt]

Ogier on fire

[crude dagger]

Not now

[runic oxide]

prob gonna struggle

loeb 0.4 down

[buoyant shale]

This looks like trying to drive a Camaro on Monte Carlo in DiRT Rally 2.0

[runic oxide]

god i suck at monte carlo on 2.0

[buoyant shale]

For me it depends on the car

[runic oxide]

couldn’t imagine what it is like in the camaro

[buoyant shale]

In the Peugeot kit car im decent on most rally's lmao

[buoyant shale]

That entire class sucks

So

[runic oxide]

yes i love the kit cars

they are so fun to drive

[buoyant shale]

Yes

Smol

But lotsa power

And good control

[runic oxide]

could make it up at the end

loeb is gonna need to push like hell

[naive smelt]

It’s ok it’s what he does best

[buoyant shale]

Loeb is off the ice!

Spood time

[runic oxide]

true but ogier is making up a lot of time

[buoyant shale]

I still find it sad rallies are only 3-4 days nowadays

[runic oxide]

shoot

loeb is flying

made up 9 seconds

[tight quiver]

eeeeeeeeeeee

the gap between the sebeastians are growing i think

[runic oxide]

yep

[tight quiver]

its not that big its 21.1 secs

[runic oxide]

loeb is gonna need to have a mega day tmr

[tight quiver]

loeb can take that back

[runic oxide]

or if ogier makes a mistake

[tight quiver]

loeb needs to do what he did yesterday

oh yeah true

[glacial ivy]

when has he never been on fire?

I’ll see if my friend can give me hotspot for discord maybe and you’ll keep me updated ok

[tight quiver]

final stage of monte

can ogier gain 9.5 seconds

[naive smelt]

Unless Loeb has a technical issue or is really off his game I don’t see that happening

[tight quiver]

im nervous

this is gona be good

[naive smelt]

Which is exactly why it’s gonna be good

[tight quiver]

poggers

[midnight nymph]

Why did they just show Ogier ahead by 20s??

[tight quiver]

he was that before stage 16

but in stage 16 he got a puncture

[midnight nymph]

Ah, so these are highlights

[tight quiver]

yes

[midnight nymph]

I thought Loeb had gotten a penalty or something

[opal ember]

how do i watch rally 😭

https://www.wrc.com/en/more/tv-guide/

and WRC+ which is uhhhhhhhhhhhhh waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to expensive

[runic oxide]

yea uh

[tight quiver]

ogier and loeb are the last 2 cars

[runic oxide]

loeb last

gonna be intense

[opal ember]

yeah nah thank you

[naive smelt]

Yeah bit much just for WRC

[runic oxide]

wrc2 first

[tight quiver]

they should combine WRC+ and WRX+

into one big package

[naive smelt]

No but even then I wouldn’t pay for that

[crude dagger]

They should just unite all FIA championships imo

[naive smelt]

Like between F1, NASCAR and WRC im not about to take out a bank loan just to pay the damn broadcasters

[icy pecan]

WRC Should make it more accesible in a few countries, Here, Eurosport shows it like 10 Percent of the time and then there's WRC Plus which i am not paying for

[naive smelt]

Yeah our french broadcaster is alright for that we have most of the motorsports but we’re missing nascar still

Which is annoying

[crude dagger]

We have it pretty good here in Sweden

F1, nascar, Indycar and WEC all under the same broadcast with allot more of series as well

And WRC is shown on national tv which is free

[opal ember]

Only F1, FE and MotoGP are shown on national TV here

NASCAR & DTM are available with a online subscription platform, and Lord Gelael broadcasts WEC for the entire nation

[exotic meadow]

track hasn't improved since this morning

[glacial ivy]

doesn't automoto stream nascar?

i love how Erik Cias doesnt have onboards

eurosport does WEC in our situation

Just keep it respectful toward everyone that put their life at risk every race and hope for a safe race for everyone.

8 times winner in Monte Carlo

Crazy

My idol came back and beat the younger guys

At 47

[woeful inlet]

yeah this is kinda why lewis is prolly not gonna retire

both are equally still at their prime

[minor inlet]

one thing i find interesting about indycar

is the amount of specialised vehicles

and the way they deal with incidents

its really efficient

even if theres multiple cars

the fact that the safety trucks have cleanup equipment with them, 2 firefighters, and a paramedic

[onyx sluice]

prob because things need to be cleaned up quickly and you can't really put cranes on ovals

or the distance between the marshall spots and the tracks is pretty big

[potent osprey]

The legendary flip

[exotic wing]

gotta be fast on ovals because thats where the big ones happen

[minor inlet]

yeah but they are really quick on roads too

[exotic wing]

yea one time i can think of where they weren't quick was Rosenquist in detroit but that was a different case with possible injuries

[minor inlet]

obviously with possible injuries there is no rush

[rich walrus]

Oh whattt

How do I watch it in usa

[tight quiver]

idk

WRC+ but thats a ripoff

idk if any local channels broadcast it

[rich walrus]

how much is wrc+

[vivid stream]

It's over a hundred dollars a year.

[buoyant shale]

100dollariedoos iirc ye

[rich walrus]

oh

[vivid stream]

It's not really worth it.

Onboards are cool, but I honestly think the most entertaining part of rallies are the stageside videos fans post on the internet.

[tight quiver]

the most entertaining part of rally is

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

[brittle hedge]

It's definitely worth it if it's your only way of watching the broadcast, or if you want english commentators. I'm happy with national commentators myself.

[tight quiver]

and Liina Perseeseen

[brittle hedge]

I've subscribed to WRC+ a couple times to watch replays though, because Eurosport are dicks about replays

[proper birch]

Seb Loeb is the best driver in motosport

Im sorry but what he is doing at his age is mental

Plus Rally imo is the hardest motorsport out there

[tight quiver]

hes still young

[rich walrus]

Yes but I’d like to be able to follow the rally too

[drifting sentinel]

you can only watch it on WRC+

no tv coverage here sadly

US is not listed on WRC’s official coverage list

the entire North America isn’t

[naive smelt]

highlights on youtube

[drifting sentinel]

yeah

2 minute highlight reels of the entire day’s stages

you can also watch DirtFish who have longer analysis vids on YT

[rich walrus]

I’m moving to China

[vivid stream]

DirtFish's content is a good substitute.

[proper birch]

WRC YT is fucking Awful

The content they produce is just so bad

theres so many hours of rally and they put it in 2 minutes

[brittle hedge]

Thats the case with most of motorsport tbf

[proper birch]

but a 2hr f1 race is 10min highlights

Dude imagine WRC with F1 SM management

[drifting sentinel]

smart marketing scheme to get you to buy WRC+

simple business

[proper birch]

nah

does the opposite

why would I watch the paid content when they put so little effort into any SM

[drifting sentinel]

it's not the matter of the low effort being put into YT

they literally do it intentionally to get you to buy their product

this is like when F1 clips press conferences, then put a "Buy F1TV" screen at the end on YT

same thing

[exotic wing]

because you get high quality stuff when you pay

well idk if its high quality im not spending 100 bucks lmao

[drifting sentinel]

I mean the closing splash screen on every rally day highlight on the WRC channel is a WRC+ promotion

[proper birch]

idc 2minutes of YT content isnt making any new fans

[drifting sentinel]

no

2minutes of YT content doesn't make YOU a fan

[proper birch]

?

I already am?

[exotic wing]

eh most people get into it from non wrc sources like spectator videos and whatnot

[drifting sentinel]

I'm saying just because you dislike the scheme doesn't mean everyone holds the same mentality

[proper birch]

The 20minutes of content from rally fans are infinitely better then whatever shite the WRC Channel puts out

I've been to a WRC event and how they coverage it is fucking shocking

0 passion

Just a product

[nova spoke]

Nascar starts in 27 days.

[drifting sentinel]

I mean rally as a sport is solely a time-based race, and all you get for your $$$ with their services is the sufficient information to understand what's going on in the race

which I think in a sport like rally, is all you can do in terms of streaming service

they provide the onboards, the live timings, the broadcast feeds at a price, all the things you need to understand the race at hand

[exotic wing]

the best you can do to cover a rally is onboards and the potential helicopter cam at times

[drifting sentinel]

which is exactly what + gives u anyway

[exotic wing]

yea but 100 bucks is very steep

[proper birch]

WRC+ is good yes

[drifting sentinel]

then again F1TV and MotoGP Access are the same pricepoints

it's merely a trend in the market

[proper birch]

but is it so much to ask for not uploading post commentary highlight videos that are 2min long and just rip straight from the live feed on the key moments

Like how rally croatia ended last year was insane

The commentary the shots was insane

[exotic wing]

yet there is no reason to get those unless you dont wanna drop money on a tv sub

[proper birch]

and u cant even find it on fucking YT

They uploaded it to FaceBook

FACEBOOK

[drifting sentinel]

I mean

cable is more expensive than paying for any of these streaming services

[proper birch]

Also paying for WRC+ isnt doable for me anyway as im always at work during the events

[exotic wing]

yes but you get it all

[proper birch]

So I literally cannot watch live

[exotic wing]

indy f1 motogp

if its just not in your pricepoint it makes sense

[drifting sentinel]

sure, but still you are restricted from a certain kind of special access that only ocmes with those services

[proper birch]

idk WRC needs better free content

[drifting sentinel]

you wonder why these services are so pricey, but at the end of the day they are still providing more exclusivity to the sport

[proper birch]

because rn its awful and dosent capture how amazing the sport is

[exotic wing]

look at f1 it has everything you want to cover a race on youtube alone

[drifting sentinel]

ok but how far more money does F1 have over a small market like WRC

[exotic wing]

they need to improve said market by creating fans with more free content

[drifting sentinel]

then again how can you provide the free market if you'll barely get a positive profit margin

[exotic wing]

you arent attracting new fans though

[proper birch]

Yeah but they arent gonna get bigger if they carry on with the marketing they're doing rn

[exotic wing]

exactly

it doesnt need to be dts level

but better highlights

[vivid stream]

I usually combine those trackside videos with the timesheets on WRC's website.

Always a blessing when an older one works like that
