Did they use a honda engine when the F1 team was using Honda as well?

And did they switch because the Honda engine was shit in indycar too?

McLaren wasn't part of Arrow McLaren SP until 2020

Ah
Fair enough

I think they ran Andretti equipment for Nando in the 500 before that

and Andretti do use Honda power iirc

After multiple conversations, it is my understanding that panels on the rear of that No. 6 car were likely modified which is prohibited by the rules as they are spec parts. Material was likely added or removed from either the rear quarter panels or the rear fascia.

It follows the rejection in January of the stalwart WEC team’s entry under the Vanwall Racing banner for this year’s championship.

Hello, can someone answer a question about the WEC?

[tight quiver]

maybe

depends what it is

[queen sierra]

I wanted to know if the way to win in the WEC is the same as in Formula 1, for example, they run a certain number of laps around a circuit and the first one to do it wins?

[tight quiver]

they do timed based races

[queen sierra]

and how long?

[tight quiver]

depends on race

le mans is 24h

sebring was 8h

spa is 6h

etc

[queen sierra]

And how long is the shortest?

[tight quiver]

6h

[queen sierra]

and they spend 6 hours watching the race?

[tight quiver]

some do

i try to

[queen sierra]

but you don't do it because it bores you?

[tight quiver]

it doesnt bore me

it mainly i have to like eat and stuff

WEC is multiclass with 4 classes so its like 4 races in 1

[queen sierra]

4 different types of cars?

[tight quiver]

well there is 3 different types of cars

there is hypercars (glickenhaus, toyota, alpine so far)

then there is LMP2 which is a spec class

then there is the GTE which has a pro class for drivers with high rating and then an AM class for drivers with lower rating

[queen sierra]

I mean anyone who can afford the car can drive there?

[tight quiver]

you need to have some racing experience enough to have a racing license rated AM by the fia

[queen sierra]

oh ok thanks

but why

[lethal yacht]

?

[tight quiver]

everything is so different when nascar is in town

like they put up a small little wall in the pitlane

unlike when f1 is there

[vivid stream]

NASCAR's safety standards have always been lagging behind.

They were still wearing open-faced helmets in 2000.

[past yarrow]

🇺🇸 🦅💪

We don’t need safety when we have F R E E D O M 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[vivid stream]

Though, in all sincerity, it's incredible how well they've been doing safety-wise.

• Despite being behind of the curve.

[past yarrow]

Dale’s crash still makes me cry

I don’t even watch nascar often

[vivid stream]

It's a hallmark accident in the evolution of racing safety.

Sadly, even with a full helmet, it probably wasn't going to be pretty.

It was more a case study on the effectiveness of HANS systems.

[past yarrow]

The HANS system is honestly surprising in how long it took for something like it to be implemented

[vivid stream]

Helmet technology likely was the primary focus.

I imagine people thought we could balance out the need for HANS with better helmets.

Of course, that isn't true.

[gleaming totem]

A helmet regardless of how good can't stop the head from going forward in a massive wall hit

[vivid stream]

Yeah.

[gleaming totem]

Especially in oval racing, since the tracks don't have runoff zones the way road coruses do

[past yarrow]

I can’t send pics here???

[tight quiver]

cota

[past yarrow]

A tragic form of Irony

[gleaming totem]

Remember them also doing that when Indycar and IMSA raced here in the past, that style of pitwall is simply the way american tracks are designed

[tight quiver]

yeah i know

but its still weird to see a wall on a track where you can see the differences on

[gleaming totem]

What's also interesting is the garages behind are so long that they stick 2 teams inside on opposite sides

You just don't see that when F1 is there as a lot of that is closed off with their temporary garage panels

And I got obsessed

[plucky lynx]

It’s interesting when it’s interesting and very boring when there’s nothing going on

[foggy fulcrum]

It’s genuinely really good

[spark spade]

like everything else

[plucky lynx]

Yeah but it’s like amplified since the race feels so long

[foggy fulcrum]

Plus you know, if you watch F1 you’re already used to checking your phone during the duller bits 🤣

[spark spade]

Ight guess ill watch it

[spark spade]

honestly i rarely do but you got a point

[plucky lynx]

Like in f1 it just feels like things happen more frequently

[spark spade]

Ight who we rooting for?

[foggy fulcrum]

[spark spade]

Give me someone to root for who wont dissapoint me during the race I am already dissapointed

[foggy fulcrum]

Kyle Busch is the winningest driver in NASCAR history and is pretty good on road courses, Chase Elliot is the 2020 champion and a road course guy, Kyle Larson is the 2021 champ, and pretty good on road courses, and my guy Martin Truex Jr is also very good on road courses

For Road courses... I would say Chase Elliott. But this car is so unpredictable that IDK. I would say AJ almindinger.

[foggy fulcrum]

I also like Ryan Blaney

The pole sitter

[plucky lynx]

And he’s led more laps this year than anyone else

But he’s not won yet

[plucky lynx]

As an American I couldn’t tell you I have no clue

[foggy fulcrum]

Neither of these drivers were injured thankfully

[tight quiver]

not ideal

[foggy fulcrum]

Kinda a miracle

[buoyant shale]

Yooo Suarez front row blessed

[nova spoke]

If this happened in F1/Indycar....

[buoyant shale]

weeeee fly you go

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah the thing is both of those series know how to race in the rain

NASCAR still doesn’t

[buoyant shale]

https://tenor.com/view/indycar-crash-marcus-ericsson-gif-22667698

[foggy fulcrum]

F1 would’ve been red flagged a long time before that

This isn’t a crash gif channel boys

Not sure he was okay either btw so might wanna spoiler that unless you know for sure he was

I can’t remember

[tight quiver]

broken back

iirc

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah so spoiler for sure

[nova spoke]

oh...

Was that F1

[tight quiver]

F3

[buoyant shale]

F3

[nova spoke]

Oh

[foggy fulcrum]

Monza

2019?

[tight quiver]

think so yeah

[foggy fulcrum]

My second race weekend as an F1 fan, and also a week after Hubert died

Was a very scary crash

[tight quiver]

do nascars have pitlane speed limiters now

[gleaming totem]

No

They still go in however to check limits

[vast elbow]

They go based on revs

[tawny elbow]

Congrats @vast elbow, you're now on lap 15

[foggy fulcrum]

For some fucking reason, still no

[vast elbow]

They don’t have speedometers either

[tight quiver]

right

[foggy fulcrum]

They also don’t have speedos for again, no reason

[plucky lynx]

Yeah us Americans don’t know how to make things ig

[foggy fulcrum]

It’s literally a digital fucking dash

[plucky lynx]

Like it took us till now to have a defuser

[tight quiver]

so you dont know how fast you are going

[gleaming totem]

Getting on to pit road without speeding is part of the game on ovals especially

[tight quiver]

just kinda have to guess

[foggy fulcrum]

Also they still do the dumb thing where speed is set but then they give you 5mph leeway

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah cuz no one has ever sped with a pit limiter

[gleaming totem]

Yes, that's part of the challenge of nascar in particular

[foggy fulcrum]

Oh wait

If the point is safety

They should just have limiters

And at the very least Speedos

[buoyant shale]

oooooo that explains why people always fucking yeet it way too fast into Daytona pit lane

[spark spade]

how many formation laps does Nascar have?

[gleaming totem]

It wouldn't improve safety much, if it did nascar woulda done it already

[foggy fulcrum]

As many as it takes I think

[gleaming totem]

Depends on the track, but its never just 1

[foggy fulcrum]

It’s obviously not that bad on ovals

[vast elbow]

At the absolute bare minimum a light that turns on if you are above the pit speed limit

[foggy fulcrum]

That’s the same as a Speedo really

[vast elbow]

Or off so it isn’t always on

[foggy fulcrum]

I’d prefer if it just says “60mph”

[vast elbow]

Yeah

[foggy fulcrum]

Cuz then at least you still need to check it

[buoyant shale]

drone cam pog

[gleaming totem]

The cars do have speed measures on the screen though, since they moved to digital daches in 2016

Richard Petty has the most CUP wins of all time (200)
Kyle busch has the most NASCAR wins of all time (CUP 56 I think) (Xfinity 102) (truck like 50 something)

[foggy fulcrum]

But they do not have speed on the dash

[buoyant shale]

vamos Daniel

[gleaming totem]

They do actually, on the screen it says the speed but not a full speedo

[foggy fulcrum]

222 career wins across the top three series for Kyle Busch

Winningest driver in NASCAR history

[buoyant shale]

is it always a Camry SC or?

[foggy fulcrum]

This is wrong

[foggy fulcrum]

No but often

[spark spade]

Forget it I am rooting for Daniel Suarez he is from Mexico

[foggy fulcrum]

Was a corvette or something recently

[nova spoke]

Sometimes a ford and chevy

[gleaming totem]

Sometimes its a Chevy or Ford as their also a nascar make

[buoyant shale]

makes sense

[foggy fulcrum]

Also they often use trucks for other series

Including a RAM

[spark spade]

THE UNDERTAKER???

[foggy fulcrum]

Which is always super funny to me

[gleaming totem]

Think I'm right but I'll double check

[nova spoke]

Daniel is having a break out year

[foggy fulcrum]

Like RAM pay to advertise on a series they refuse to race in

[nova spoke]

ITS LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO

COTA is the closest track to Monterey Mexico I think

[foggy fulcrum]

Ugh my stream’s enough delayed that it’s annoying 😭

[spark spade]

yup

[nova spoke]

How long does it take an F1 car to go around COTA?

[sullen viper]

1:32.9 pole lap last year

[tight quiver]

the trucks felt like 3 min laptimes

[sullen viper]

blaney’s pole was a 2:12 i believe

[spark spade]

Ight hope Suarez wins someone let me know if it happens

[gleaming totem]

Crowd is not F1 levels but still pretty good today

[spark spade]

im tired

[nova spoke]

2:12.343 for NASCAR this year

💀

!penalty!

[sullen viper]

plus, nascar track limits are way more forgiving here

[nova spoke]

27 cutting course

[foggy fulcrum]

Lol you’d think that’s the one guy used to track limits actually being enforced

[gleaming totem]

Only place where they're enforcing track limits heavily is the early S curves as if not drivers would go straight through them all

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah there’s somewhere else as well iirc

[sullen viper]

probably turn 18

[foggy fulcrum]

But basically if you’re not cutting it’s all good

[tight quiver]

#14 going to the mooon

can t mobile stop with the ads

[foggy fulcrum]

^ driver was fine, joked about how he landed it in an interview after leaving the infield care centre

[gleaming totem]

What makes it really bad today is when the signed their last TV contract for 2015-2024 the networks expected much better ratings, and since they haven't they therefore can put more ads in to makeup the difference

[foggy fulcrum]

Instead of making the show better to actually get people to watch 🙃

[buoyant shale]

Hamlin not being a champ still sounds very wrong

[foggy fulcrum]

I love stage racing this shit would be awful without stage racing

[foggy fulcrum]

I mean he’s still an easy first ballot hall of famer

Three time Daytona 500 champ alone would qualify him for that, let alone the rest

[gleaming totem]

Not all great drivers end up winning a championship

Mark Martin for instance never got there and he was one of the best in his time

[buoyant shale]

one of the best to never win a championship mayhaps?

Mark Martin ye he for sure

[foggy fulcrum]

I’d argue second best of the modern era, yes

[echo mason]

You know what. NASCAR is so damn toxic, 90% of this server is either Toxic Hendrick fans and Hamlin haters. It all started when Hamlin accidentally wrecked Chase and the most popular driver is BS. Fuck toxic Hendrick fans

They’ll be okay

[buoyant shale]

hey @ Toyota if you put an engine in the car it will go faster

[foggy fulcrum]

But considering every full time Toyota driver won last year

And Truex won the second most races of anyone

[nova spoke]

Remove stages from road courses 😑

[foggy fulcrum]

Four, joint with Bowman, with Larson on 10

Stages reliably > no stages

[buoyant shale]

you should have a good advantage over Chevy and Ford, just throw in a GR010 Hypercar engine. Easy. Win everything.

[echo mason]

Chevy is still in WEC right?

[spark pecan]

[buoyant shale]

no iirc

Why is Toyota so bad this year

[foggy fulcrum]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just how it worked out

how is 99 doing?

[lone zodiac]

won stage 1

[buoyant shale]

poggies Suarez

[foggy fulcrum]

Surprised he’s that popular in here ngl

Didn’t think he had that many fans, maybe that’s projection on my part

[gleaming totem]

He's definitely a journeyman

Been with four different teams in his six full time seasons

when i didnt know who to support yet and hadnt found Cody Ware, just searched for who isnt American

larson spun lmao

[foggy fulcrum]

And this is literally why stage racing is a good thing

Especially on a road course where if you didn’t have them the field would be unreasonably spread out nearly immediately

[gleaming totem]

Looks like he will indeed keep his lap

[foggy fulcrum]

NOOOOO

CODY

Penalty

[gleaming totem]

Saurez is aparently still setting quick laps

So I don't think he's outta this yet

Just gotta not beat himself

Toyotas are doing okay right now thanks to that strategy at the end of stage 1

Is the steering box a spec part?

[gleaming totem]

Yeah

But teams still inevitably fiddle with stuff

[foggy fulcrum]

And if you fiddle with it you get shit like 100 point fine, 10 playoff points, and 100,000 dollars

Oh and lose your crew chief for a month

Fiddling’s almost a thing of the past these days 😅

[barren pilot]

Why does fox and nascar show so many ads

[knotty idol]

money

[gleaming totem]

Because when they signed the latest TV contract ratings haven't met their expectations

[barren pilot]

But like nbc has that thing where they play like a mini version of the broadcast alongside the racing

Is there any streaming service or broadcast without ads?

Theres no point in wasting laps under caution for an entire 3.4 miles when the incident is in one tiny portion of the track

i understand why for the ovals but not for the long circuits

[gleaming totem]

Especially as were now over the 3 hour mark

[clear swan]

Isn't nascar like 300 laps

[eternal burrow]

That’s another thing I hate about nascar the races just drag on for hours ong

[gleaming totem]

They've always been pretty long but it's harder to have that with today's attention spans

[eternal burrow]

True

[gleaming totem]

Overtime Num I underway

[eternal burrow]

First of many for sure

[gleaming totem]

Not quite

White flag

[flint plaza]

Chastain gonna win come on baby

OH COME ON

KYLE BUSCH SPUN IN THE TOP 5

WHY

[eternal burrow]

OMG

[flint plaza]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[gleaming totem]

Ross Chastain wins

[eternal burrow]

WHAT THE HELL

[flint plaza]

OH MYH GOFD"D

ROSS CHASTAIN

[foggy fulcrum]

NASCAR BABY

[eternal burrow]

BOWMAN RUINS EVERYTHING AGAIN LMAOOOOOOOOO

[foggy fulcrum]

what

[gleaming totem]

First Win for Team Trackhouse

[foggy fulcrum]

You think Bowman did anything wrong??

[drifting sentinel]

i fucking love nascar

[valid adder]

yo wtf

[gleaming totem]

In their 42nd start

[severe timber]

NOO MY BABY BOWMAN ALMOST WON

😦

[eternal burrow]

I’m a casual, please humble me

[foggy fulcrum]

Shame they didn’t keep the 42 🤣

Bowman didn’t do anything wrong, Ross just crashed the 16 and the 48 for the win

[eternal burrow]

True

[foggy fulcrum]

Which like, that’s just racing

[eternal burrow]

At first it looked like Bowman was making a dirty move but i was just biased

[foggy fulcrum]

First career win, in the #1, in the first year of a new car?

[celest saffron]

Nice rebound for Bell

[foggy fulcrum]

Last guy to do that? Martin Truex Jr.

[eternal burrow]

[foggy fulcrum]

No such thing as a dirty move in NASCAR

[gleaming totem]

Got the watermelon out for his signature win

[eternal burrow]

Kenseth on Logano 2015, although that was entirely warranted 😼

[foggy fulcrum]

That wasn’t a dirty move

[gleaming totem]

And COTA woulda been bulldozed in a matter of time if Bowman won

[foggy fulcrum]

It was an intentional wreck while laps down

[eternal burrow]

I mean it was 100% intentional so it kinda was

[foggy fulcrum]

Yes not a dirty move

[eternal burrow]

What’s your definition of a dirty move

[foggy fulcrum]

In nascar there is no such thing

[eternal burrow]

[wild plank]

that was such a dirty finish

[foggy fulcrum]

Because it’s a contact sport that doesn’t punish shit like that

[eternal burrow]

Right on queue ong

[white bronze]

That was amazing racing there

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah it was excellent!

Great racing

[white bronze]

Best finish I’ve seen in a while

[foggy fulcrum]

You can’t have a dirty move in a sport that doesn’t have rules against contact/spinning people out/pushing them off the track

Dirty moves are for sports like F1

[wild plank]

Good race but didn't enjoy Reddick getting the worst of it lol

[gleaming totem]

Yeah that doesn't exist in Nascar

But good race, finally got to see a COTA Nascar race in dry conditions and didn't disappoint

[brittle hedge]

To win you gotta be a dirty racer in nascar

[gleaming totem]

And first victory for Ross Chastain and Team Trackhouse in Nascar

The acquisition of Chip Ganassi Racing's Nascar division has given them a decent boost in performance

And finally they got one over the line in 1st

japanese flat track bike with flat track tyres and flat track rider is faster around a flat track than some dudes in 125cc sports bikes on circuit racing slicks

[lone zodiac]

imagine being surprised about dirty racing in nascar

[foggy fulcrum]

i mean, it's not dirty

NASCAR drivers wouldn't do it if it wasn't allowed

and any other race car driver would if they could

Rule 1 of stock car racing, learn how to wreck someone without wrecking yourself

Just retire man

[past yarrow]

Downforce? We don’t need downforce!

[past yarrow]

Yeah, I knew he wouldn’t be the same after his crash in 2020, poor guy

I mean if he can still do it and is capable of doing it that’s fine

But definitely no more championships or too many more race wins for him

[lethal yacht]

This is “the graveyard” of Gen-6 cars at Trackhouse. At one point, they had 41 old cars sitting here.

I’m told that there are no imminent plans for these.

Twitter · Mar 29, 2022, 7:56 PM

Maybe I'll buy one

Or start an Xfinity or ARCA team where these chassis are still being used for a few more years
