Eu, US, AU and Asia

[pliant marten]

Dodge might be coming back ladies and gentlemen

[foggy fulcrum]

lol nah

[gleaming totem]

They're the only OEM that makes sense and has publicly explored interest

[foggy fulcrum]

I mean the facts are we have no idea who is interested

Dodge haven't publicly explored interest

There were just rumours about it, but they didn't come from Dodge afaik

[gleaming totem]

A few months before they did and the Nascar CEO even admitted it

[foggy fulcrum]

I think FCA companies had a very tight grip on their brands not going into motorsports

So it makes sense that any Stellantis brand would now be exploring it

I think personally if it is going to be a Stellantis brand... it's not Dodge

It's RAM

[gleaming totem]

Well for the truck series it'll be the Ram brand which used to be apart of Dodge

[foggy fulcrum]

RAM already spend a lot of money advertising against NASCAR, sponsoring pace trucks etc

And the Truck Series has spec engines, which NXS and NCS don't

And the Truck series has a lot of teams who would love a close manufacturer alliance

[foggy fulcrum]

RAM wasn't even a Dodge sub-brand when Dodge left NASCAR

It's a completely separate company under FCA US as part of Stellantis

It'll be McLaren though

They're in everything else

[gleaming totem]

I mean Honda is also rumored at times however I just think their too busy with Indycar and IMSA

Nissan as well but they're in financial difficulties right now picking up the pieces from their old CEO

[tight quiver]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKCk0GZZH9o

and broadcast is live

maxi Götz is here

poggers

[foggy fulcrum]

i don't see how Honda's "too busy"

Accord or Civic though?

[brittle sentinel]

[autumn briar]

Jawohl

[unkempt mirage]

Filling in for one of the Mercedes drivers that is doing the Bathurst 12H

[gleaming totem]

I just remember when Toyota joined in 2007 they had to exit champcar and endurance racing at the time as Nascar requires a ton more commitment and resources to operate. And I don't think Honda would be willing to do the same thing or be willing to run all three simultaneously

[foggy fulcrum]

Right but 2007 is not the same as 2023

Truck series has spec engines, Cup series has spec everything but the engines

[buoyant shale]

Accord 100000%

No wait fuck
Civic Sedan also exists

Hmmm then idk

[foggy fulcrum]

lmao literally

plus you'd think they'd want something more sporty

given the Cup car's current shape

[buoyant shale]

I think the main thing they'll be interested in is what's best to advertise

[gleaming totem]

If Toyota would run the Camry than Honda would use the rival Accord

[foggy fulcrum]

Why

[gleaming totem]

Especially as the wheelbases matchup more

[buoyant shale]

Wouldn't that just lead to people comparing the two

[foggy fulcrum]

Toyota use the Camry because it's the best selling car in north america and they have no other choice

[buoyant shale]

Well Supra but lmfao

[foggy fulcrum]

Exactly

they have no other choice

Honda do have another choice

[gleaming totem]

Under that logic Toyota would use the Corolla however run the bigger Camry

[foggy fulcrum]

Uh no

"Under that logic" when the logic is why they race the Camry lmao

I'm not saying Honda wouldn't race the Accord, it's why I asked

I just can't see how it's a sure thing either way

[gleaming totem]

Never a sure thing, but I think the Accord is far more likely then a Civic

[foggy fulcrum]

They got a Type R Civic yet?

[buoyant shale]

Type R Civic is a hatchback George

[tight quiver]

[buoyant shale]

Civic Sedan is what the NASCAR would be based on

[autumn briar]

in GTWC

weeee

[tight quiver]

dries dropping down

or veerts

same guy

[autumn briar]

Weerts yeah

[foggy fulcrum]

that's not the current civic though, is it??

[buoyant shale]

Type R

[foggy fulcrum]

Current Civic ^

[buoyant shale]

Sedan

[foggy fulcrum]

That's not the current Civic, hence why I asked "have they made a Civic Type R yet"

[gleaming totem]

God the current Civic is ugly

[buoyant shale]

Yeah when I searched Civic Sedan I just got Gen 10s

Aka
Best gen

[gleaming totem]

The only design looked so much better

[foggy fulcrum]

it looks way better than the old one

it's a nice clean pretty saloon

[gleaming totem]

It looks boring and feels like it was built for the 2005 model year

[foggy fulcrum]

lmao what

have you seen any 2005 car

[buoyant shale]

I love the agressiveness of the Gen 10 Civic Type R

It's one of my favourite cars

[foggy fulcrum]

Do they have an Accord Type R?

[buoyant shale]

But some people may not like it and it's fair

[buoyant shale]

In the 2000s

[foggy fulcrum]

So no

This generation of Civic is the first Civic I'd ever consider buying

this one was awful

this one is woeful

euro one wasn't much better lmao

[gleaming totem]

Both look way better than the current one

[foggy fulcrum]

This one looks like a modern car

looks like someone bothered designing it

unlike every other civic from the past 20 years in any market

[eternal ravine]

What going on here

Why we talking about Civics

I'm intrigued

[foggy fulcrum]

NASCAR is apparently close to getting a new OEM

[gleaming totem]

Nah, looks old and dull

[foggy fulcrum]

it just doesn't look old

[eternal ravine]

Honda is good candidate

[foggy fulcrum]

like idk what you're seeing that makes you think it looks old but like that's definitely the wrong word

dull, sure, i happen to like "dull" cars

boring, sure

but it definitely doesn't look old lmao

[eternal ravine]

Accord for the Cup Car, Civic Xfinity Car, Ridgeline 🤢 as Truck Series

Meanwhile Acura in IMSA

[buoyant shale]

And that's the one I like

[foggy fulcrum]

it's just a generic overdesigned hatchback

[gleaming totem]

If you were to put the new and prior gen Civics side by side without any knowledge of cars I would perdict the current generation was the older model

[foggy fulcrum]

and i never would

i'd be able to tell you the new one is the new one 100% of the time

[buoyant shale]

This one looks average American sedan #1882828 to me tbh

[foggy fulcrum]

yes!

[buoyant shale]

Which isn't fun!

[foggy fulcrum]

yes it is!

that's literally the best kind of car

[buoyant shale]

No it isn't!

I mean i like it but would I rather want it then a Gen 10? Definitely not

[foggy fulcrum]

Generic euro shitbox hatchback is definitely more boring than a sleak american saloon

but whatever

either way it just looks like a small Accord

[buoyant shale]

What's the generic euro shithox hatchback

[eternal ravine]

The interior looks too European

[foggy fulcrum]

the one you like... obviously

[foggy fulcrum]

"too european" lmao

[buoyant shale]

Well then I like the generic euro shithox hatchback I guess

[eternal ravine]

compared to the "old" interior

[foggy fulcrum]

aka, what, nice?

[buoyant shale]

Eyyyyy

[foggy fulcrum]

modern?

clean?

[buoyant shale]

Oh I thought it was yours

[foggy fulcrum]

cramped and dated

[eternal ravine]

I got a 2018

[foggy fulcrum]

clean and sleak and modern

whatever

[gleaming totem]

Not at all but I don't think I'll be able to convince you otherwise

[eternal ravine]

Lets agree to disagree

[foggy fulcrum]

nah

but lets stop

[buoyant shale]

CRL likes his 2018 Civic

:)

[eternal ravine]

not biased at all

I mean, the 2022 Civic Si, thats fucking hot

[foggy fulcrum]

In general I'm always gonna be pissed we never get saloons

[eternal ravine]

I'll take that car plz

[foggy fulcrum]

So I'd buy either the Civic or the Accord in a heartbeat if I could

I'd also buy a Camry, guess what, they just stopped making them for us lmao

[gleaming totem]

I mean sedans are also starting to go away over hete

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah difference is "starting to"

and "went 15 years ago"

not counting German luxury cars obviously

[buoyant shale]

For me sedans depend on what one

[foggy fulcrum]

they're not going anywhere any time soon cuz Germans

likewise with estates

[gleaming totem]

I don't think they'll ever go away completely

[foggy fulcrum]

Germans fuckin love estates

[gleaming totem]

But they're definitely less options new and for the future

[foggy fulcrum]

They already have tbf

Try and buy an actual saloon and not a saloon with a hatch back

but yeah

obviously it's not gonna be any electric only brands

Tesla for obvious reasons but even someone like Rivian

they're not gonna do it until there's an electric only truck series

it's not gonna be BMW or Merc or Audi

VW, maybe?

But I can't see it tbh

[eternal ravine]

I dont like the Rivian because it looks like a Kia Soul with a bed

Cool truck, but shit design

[gleaming totem]

I don't see non Tesla electric startups like Rivian or Lordstown surviving in the long run anyway

[foggy fulcrum]

Sure but I'm not talking about design

Or the viability of those companies, just about if they'll enter NASCAR

Trying to re-rail us here

[gleaming totem]

But viability and motorsports go hand and hand a lot

When a car company struggles cutting racing programs are usually reduced

[foggy fulcrum]

holy shit Fiat sold 89 cars a month in the back three months of last year

[buoyant shale]

Anyway electric NASCAR when-

[foggy fulcrum]

they sold 89 cars a month in the US

[foggy fulcrum]

soon\™️

[gleaming totem]

A Nascar version of Formula E might happen in a few years but all electric everywhere maybe later half of the 2030s

[foggy fulcrum]

"version of Formula E"?

[gleaming totem]

Fiat is gonna be gone again soon

[foggy fulcrum]

What car would Nissan put on track?

Someone in the NASCAR server said the uh

[gleaming totem]

A stock car racing series but with electric vehicles and might use crossovers as they are the hottest selling cars right now

[foggy fulcrum]

Z400

[gleaming totem]

That was me

[foggy fulcrum]

how is that like Formula E?

[foggy fulcrum]

lmao it was 🤣

sorry

[gleaming totem]

It's a small world after all

[foggy fulcrum]

why don't nissan own nissan.com 🤣

[gleaming totem]

Because its a series heavily inspired by another but with electric cars

[foggy fulcrum]

what

no, like

the Electric NASCAR series will just be an official NASCAR series

[gleaming totem]

It would in this case

[tight quiver]

NBC made a compilation of grosjean being aggressive

[foggy fulcrum]

yeah it's like, nothing like Formula E

hence why i was confused by you explaining it like that 😅

[buoyant shale]

:prayge:

[foggy fulcrum]

electric cars

that's the only thing in common

[buoyant shale]

Yeah I just meant a 4th series

[foggy fulcrum]

jeez

[buoyant shale]

Guessing because regen it would mostly just do road courses, short tracks, basically places you need to brake at

[foggy fulcrum]

not a lot of range from nissanusa.com

[gleaming totem]

If Nissan was smart they would get rid of all four of those models

[buoyant shale]

That's their entire range?

[foggy fulcrum]

and the leaf

in terms of cars

[tight quiver]

pitstop window has opened

[gleaming totem]

They make crossovers and SUVs

[buoyant shale]

They're all stupid ugly

[buoyant shale]

Except the Leaf

Leaf is ok

[gleaming totem]

That my friends in the profit center today

[foggy fulcrum]

they literally are all ugly except the sports cars and trucks are okay

[tight quiver]

#32 pitting

[foggy fulcrum]

the thing is though, is there any point racing SUVs?

[autumn briar]

Come on Vanthoor

[gleaming totem]

Yes because that is what Americans are buying now

[foggy fulcrum]

okay, so

you know who isn't buying them?

car enthusiasts

[gleaming totem]

Brands would rather race cars that they sell in higher volumes, and if your starting a series from stratch it makes sense to take advantage of the crossover craze

[foggy fulcrum]

Ford still get a lot of brand equity racing the Mustang

Which sells SUVs

Racing the Mustang sells SUVs

[autumn briar]

Lets goooo

[gleaming totem]

For the electric series Ford could even run the Mach E Mustang

[autumn briar]

Vanthoor net P1

[foggy fulcrum]

I'm not sure Jaguar racing the i-Pace sells anything including the i-Pace

[foggy fulcrum]

yes or they could run an electric actual mustang

[marble willow]

The only acceptable SUV is the Espace F1 (and the Mitsubishi Pajero)

[foggy fulcrum]

espace isn't an suv

[gleaming totem]

But why would they prefer another series of that, make it different and with models they sell in higher volumes if you want to start a new one

[foggy fulcrum]

Because a) they're harder to make race well

There's a reason the Truck series hasn't changed shape, despite road going trucks doubling in size

[gleaming totem]

That would be a challenge

[foggy fulcrum]

Race car and SUV just don't go together well

[gleaming totem]

However I don't think its not doable whatsoever

[foggy fulcrum]

and b) as i said, you're trying to win car people's mindshare

and you don't do that, especially in markets like North Carolina, by starting a new series racing electric SUVs

Whereas, if you convince them Ford, Chevy, or Toyota is cool

They'll buy their partner or their parent or the kid an SUV even though you aren't racing it

It's the halo car concept

[marble willow]

Race Car + Station Wagon go pretty well together. Just look at did Volvo did in the 90’s

far better than a racing SUV

[foggy fulcrum]

sure but no one buys wagons

[gleaming totem]

Also have to realize that for decades Nascar primarily ran all sedan or coupe sedan models

[gleaming totem]

And in many ways the crossover midsize has replaced it in the US marketplace

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah and did NASCAR go to the crossover?

No, it went to sports cars

Chevy SS died, Camaro came in

Fusion died, Mustang came in

[marble willow]

Camry’s still alive

[foggy fulcrum]

Even Toyota have the Supra in NXS even though it looks super dumb

And the Camry they run isn't the XSE like it was

it's the TRD now

[marble willow]

Still beats the Celica stock car

[gleaming totem]

Missing the point though, if you start a brand new series you have the freedom to experiment with a radically different architecture, and the OEMs would probably want that in this case

[foggy fulcrum]

I'm not missing the point

I'm saying it might still be a shit idea

Even if you have the chance to try it

[buoyant shale]

@foggy fulcrum come pick me up I'm scared

(ofc won't happen lmao but just saw this cursed concept in Jimcord)

[foggy fulcrum]

lmao front plate moment

[buoyant shale]

But yeah it's sad that Dodge is likely not the one joining since well

Hot

[buoyant shale]

no

[marble willow]

OH NO

let’s just leave it at ford, chevy, and toyota.

[foggy fulcrum]

there are some pretty cursed fuckin schemes out there for random manus lmao

gotta be honest

that bmw m4 next gen looks pretty sweet

[buoyant shale]

No

It's just plain cursed

[gleaming totem]

I think it is most likely but agree it isn't certain

[foggy fulcrum]

it's them or honda

or like, just RAM

[gleaming totem]

It would be Dodge for cup and xfinity than Ram in trucks

[gleaming totem]

Honestly, even that is more likely than Honda as Hyundai KIA doesn't do a lot of motorsports right now and have money to spend

[buoyant shale]

There were Hyundai rumours like 3 years ago

[gleaming totem]

They even make a truck now with the Santa Cruz

Yep..

I was thiking of dale earnhardt so I thought 3

[random pond]

Fogsty car in the 12 hour (safety car because of how foggy it is)

[foggy fulcrum]

especially when you consider that includes all of NASCAR's top three national touring series

the Cup series alone runs 30+ races a year

given Harvick was promoted to Dale's ride and he's still going, and he's started 766 races

I reckon it's about ~766 races in the Cup series without a fatal accident

ARCA's most recent fatal accident was 20 years ago this year

What series is the nurb 24 hours

In

[tacit garden]

no series. It's its own standalone event

the classes (and most participants) are the same as in the Nürburgring endurance series (NLS), but it doesn't count towards that championship

[tacit garden]

Some pics from this weekend! https://imgur.com/a/KHo2ppt (it would be great if discord one day actually shows that these links are albums and not just one pic)

I haven't been able to cut together my videos so far but that should follow some time soon.

[tawny hound]

Already the DPi's have caught up to the GTD's

[tight quiver]

GTD Pro is almost better than ut

GTE was basically just 3 cars

5-6 in the endurance events

[tawny hound]

These cars sound amazing

[eternal ravine]

GTE sounded better

[foggy fulcrum]

Started 15 minutes ago

[eternal ravine]

Kansas right?

[foggy fulcrum]

Under caution right now

Yeah

… who requested this

And who approved it

[last nest]

looks decent if you close your eyes

[foggy fulcrum]

The 45 looks so weird

[eternal ravine]

Same livery as the 12 for this weekend

[foggy fulcrum]

Like it needs a big Jordan logo on the door imo

[foggy fulcrum]

Looks bad on that, looks even worse on the cup car

[foggy fulcrum]

I think the 19 is in a sherry strong car but the paint scheme preview doesn’t show that

[eternal ravine]

then there is the Indy 500 livery

[foggy fulcrum]

That looks way better

Still looks kinda shit

But it looks way better

Oh god

Here comes Larson

[tawny hound]

Those are fighting words

[foggy fulcrum]

Even this looks better than the 22

[tawny hound]

I feel offended by that

That's at least a B tier scheme

[foggy fulcrum]

Just like, those little bits of accent colour make it feel so much more intentional

oof

78 hard into the wall

Oh not into the wall mb

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[eternal ravine]

[tawny hound]

COME ON BOYS

[tight quiver]

muted for celebrating other team misfortune smh my head crl

[eternal ravine]

He pushed him in T5, retaliation

[tawny hound]

I think a Lexus has a drive through

[eternal ravine]

Lexus spun the 52 LMP2 earlier, so makes sense

[tawny hound]

No action for the incident between the 10 and 01

[tight quiver]

but the LMP2 cut infront of it

[tawny hound]

I wouldn't know

I'm here on the front stretch

[eternal ravine]

RICK WARE P1

RICK WARE P1

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

OMG

[tight quiver]

uhm

what

[tawny hound]

THIS MIGHT BE THE CLOSEST THAT TEAM WILL EVER GET TO A W

[eternal ravine]

...oh they only pitted once so far

[tight quiver]

rick ware racing train

its still the slowest gtd

[eternal ravine]

Going for that supreme high IQ 1 stop strategy

[tawny hound]

Imagine if it works

Anyway, the 17 Lexus has no luck

[tight quiver]

there would have to be extreme fuel saving

GT3 cars usually last 1h with fuel

[eternal ravine]

those tires are not going to last

[tawny hound]

2 drive throughs today

[eternal ravine]

that traffic, god damn

RWR pits

and RWR has a bad stop 🙃

[tawny hound]

Damn it

Of course they did

[supple crest]

I think

was colton herta's save already sent here?

https://youtu.be/7liZNNrhnm0 I don't even care I'm sending it again

probably the most impressive open wheel save I've ever seen

why can't I send images

[tawny hound]

Deja Vu starts playing

Seriously though

How did he save that

[supple crest]

and not lose that much time either

and get the wheel straight for when he regained grip

side note, is it just me or does it feel like there's literally never rain indycar races

I didn't even know what color the rain tires were

[tawny hound]

There's literally never rain lol

[supple crest]

yea and I feel like there's rain every 3rd F1 race lol

ngl I wish F1 followed indycar spec but let the teams develop the cars a bit more, indycars produce so much better racing

[tawny hound]

With Indycar it feels like only once every 2-3 years

[supple crest]

ik F1 wants to be seen as the fastest though

[tawny hound]

Though when it does rain it's pure chaos

[supple crest]

mhm

indycar usually has far more slippery circuits than something like F1 to begin with

[vernal crane]

hi just got back is the race over or not

[tawny hound]

Imsa? Nah we got 25 minutes to go

[vernal crane]

oh ok

[tight quiver]

Last rain race in IndyCar was 2019

[supple crest]

pretty sure marco pitted super early that race too

drove a wet street course on drys

[tawny hound]

Yea

16 minutes to go

I'm seeing a yellow in a marshal's hand on the front stretch

Under 10 minutes to go

The 60 is getting closer

Something happened with the Dragon Speed car

Hold up, McLaren leads

Someone ask me a question

Can Le Mans Hypercar(LMH) Race in IMSA?

What should I reply

[buoyant shale]

yes

select ones will be allowed in the GTP class which is LMDh with some select Hypercars

Only ones allowed are hypercars from OEMs that produce a certain amount of cars, thats Toyota and Alpine currently, and Peugeot also

Glickenhaus and ByKolles are for some reason out of luck

[foggy fulcrum]

Yeah they can't right now but they will be able to from next year

I’m a day late but am I hearing correctly that Lamborghini is in the hypercar class in WEC now?

Where do you watch rallys/rallycross?

Is there an app?

Or a channel?

[tight quiver]

WRC+ or local braodcasters for WRC and ERC

RX+ for WRX

[ashen ibex]

why are they always different apps?

[drifting sentinel]

RX+ insanely cheap

[ashen ibex]

The FIA owns all of them anyways

[tight quiver]

im tempted to get RX+'

[tight quiver]

FIA doesn't broadcast them though

[drifting sentinel]

would looove to get into RX+ but I blew all my money on WRC+

[ashen ibex]

Jeeesus 50 euros per year not bad if it wasn't like a trillion dollars in my countries monopoly money

Canadian Dollar is so cringe

Wish there was a place to watch like most motorsports. Not like I can watch most of them live anyways as they're all in Europe

[tight quiver]

there are some countries with local broadcasters that have everything

[ashen ibex]

Guess I could get a month of RX+ as it's on a few weeks break after the rally this week

Rally Drivers are truly unhinged

F1 drivers "my car touched gravel, I'm out of the race"
Rally Drivers "my car's drive shaft broke, better pull it out and hit it with a rock a few times to straighten it out and keep racing"

[tight quiver]

redbull.tv has the semi finals and finals for free

might be geoblocked

[brisk glacier]

is this the indycar thread?

[tight quiver]

all motorsports si

this clip is insane

first kevin eriksson goes around the outside

[unkempt mirage]

It’s just that Indycar is spamming news cuz Indy 500 soon

[tight quiver]

and then look at fucking bakkerud on the inside

stealing 3 positions too

[unkempt mirage]

Ah yes, i have that as a gif

Truly mental

[tight quiver]

bakkerud was commenating on rally X nordic last weekend and they were talking about that pass by kevin then he just said "but no one saw my move that was the same but on the inside"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8bn6OGi5kA this one is proper nuts as well

[runic oxide]

sordo fastest so far in shakedown

loeb gonna need his glasses

[brittle coyote]

Peugeot being a teaser

[unkempt mirage]

Peugeot do like playing the media game

While you got Porsche occasionally coming out with new pictures and info
