Motorsports/Car Chat

[oblique python]

just practice really

mess with settings and see what works, i often shot at 1/200

[vagrant dew]

I think I shoot 1/30-1/50

oh ok that might be it

[oblique python]

people go slower but it's much harder

it's a tradeoff

more blur but less potential car in focus

[crimson bison]

Stroll is such a great driver, he earned more points than senna and schumacher combined last season

[elder dirge]

Yeah

Stroll is good

[tender karma]

@oblique python crazy photos mate, love to see more of these 🔥

[oblique python]

thanks ❤️

[vagrant dew]

lmu is peak

[tender karma]

in my opinion the best sim at the moment

[elder dirge]

Erm

Mario kart

Are you stupid

[crimson bison]

i want lmu soooo bad

[tiny venture]

Also shoot at a lower F-stop

It helps but not as much so anything f8 and down isnt needed

[vagrant dew]

agree

[vagrant dew]

I shot 1.8-2.8 at Indy

[tiny venture]

Well that's part of the reason half of it isn't in focus

You don't need a dreamy background, you're panning it's more important to get the car in focus lol

[rich dagger]

how the hell do you even pan wide open?

Need some insane nd

Like nd 2000

[tiny venture]

I have ND 1000s

It's really dark

Most of the time I only need nd64 for a 1/30 f4 iso 200 pan

[rich dagger]

That does 10 stops right?

Bright daylight

[tiny venture]

An ND 1000 is 6 stops or smth iirc

I don't remember

!nd

[regal stone]

ND2 --> 1 stop
ND4 --> 2 stop
ND8 --> 3 stop
ND16 --> 4 stop
ND32 --> 5 stop
ND64 --> 6 stop
ND128 --> 7 stop
ND256 --> 8 stop
ND512 --> 9 stop
ND1000 --> 10 stop

[tiny venture]

10 stop ig

64 is 6 stop then

64 and 1000 is the perfect combo imo

[rich dagger]

I might need NDs but all my lenses are different filter sizes

Except for my 24-105 and 70-200

😭

[tiny venture]

You can borrow mine whenever you come down

Just need a magnetic filter base

[rich dagger]

Good idea yeah

Most convenient for fixed nds when you need to control your exposure on the fly while shootinf

[tiny venture]

Fr

[thorny sun]

Race 2 of 4 hours of dubai is out

Might watch this

[thorny sun]

Crowdstrike first

1 hour 21 minutes remain

Great battle for 3rd between manthey 10 united 59

[thorny sun]

Lmp3 number 29 first

Forestier

5 lmp3 car behind each other tow

[crimson bison]

I never realized how much the rear end of a altima looks like a g82😭

[elder dirge]

Por

Dual por

[oblique python]

yis

thought it was cool to catch the Lexus under the Lexus banner

[elder dirge]

Indeed it is

[crimson bison]

ive put more than a full day of playtime into fh4 in the past week

[elder dirge]

Wait till bro finds out how many hours I get on gt7 weekly

[glad wharf]

tell me no

[thorny magnet]

do it

you will never regret a racing sim setup

[glad wharf]

I regretted my g920

[oblique python]

well yeah it’s a g920

[oblique python]

i might go to a nascar race on wednesday

apparently i can't stay away from motorsports

[elder dirge]

Nice

[tiny venture]

bro buys everything I mention lmao

[glad wharf]

i was talking to one of my friends and he told me to buy a moza

clanker

not u

[tiny venture]

I mean it's good and all

if you can stretch budget the moza r5 is a decent chunk better

A few more nm of torque goes a long way in realism and stuff

[elder dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/tokyo-drift-pekora-drift-kerubiel99-gif-11074873932602279788

[crimson bison]

I saw a quick review of the r3 from no hesi

They said its good for everything except circuit racing for any longer amount of time

[tiny venture]

its good bang for your buck but its definitely a beginner wheel

[crimson bison]

Because of how weak the motor is it starts to overheat after track use

[tiny venture]

i dont think thats an issue

ive seen heaps of other reviews use it constantly

also how long is "track time"

[crimson bison]

Idk it was a reel i saw like 3months ago so

[tiny venture]

eh i think all the moza products are having issues with overheating i dont think its that big of a deal

[vagrant dew]

Just my thought but if you cropped so that the car is more visible and the Lexus banner is like overshadowing it it’d look sick

[vagrant dew]

buy it used for like 200 off

[glad wharf]

nah

[elder dirge]

Gooning is gooning

Sigma is rizz

Mewing is rizz

Ohio is not tuff

[glad wharf]

shut ur mouth pls

[oblique python]

not sure what you mean, something like this?

[elder dirge]

That's mean

[vagrant dew]

okay just a suggestion

[glad wharf]

Yes they’re cheap but I was not a fan of mine

[vagrant dew]

Go for used r5 should be similar price

[glad wharf]

I need r3 Xbox bundle

Cuz my racing games r Xbox

[vagrant dew]

YES this looks so good imo

[vagrant dew]

I see

Then r3 is the best moza you can get I think

But I advise switching to pc asap

[glad wharf]

I have a pc

It’s just kinda mid

and I want the ability to play my Xbox games with a wheel

like farming sim

[crimson bison]

Hamilton is dating kim k😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Poor man making all the wrong decisions

First ferrari now kim k

[crimson bison]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

2027 could be ferrari, toyota, bmw, alpine, peugeot, cadillac, aston, genesis, ford, mclaren, honda, and maybe porsche and lambo

So insane

[elder dirge]

OH MY GOD YES

[elder dirge]

Alpine?

Fuck no they gonna prob drop out like lambo

[crimson bison]

I really fw the new honda logo

[oblique python]

no

it's disgusting

horrific

terrible

atrocious

[crimson bison]

Im not saying it amazing but I like it

The old logo was super dated

Straight outta the 2000s

[oblique python]

but this one is even worse

[crimson bison]

At least on graphics

[oblique python]

this is so much better

[crimson bison]

The silver

All they did was drop the ring around the h and make it thicker

[oblique python]

this looks fine

[oblique python]

yes

and it is now bad

[crimson bison]

It looks old

The new logo looks really good on this

[oblique python]

meh

it looks ok

[tiny venture]

can always upgrade just the base yeah

Supposedly the pedals stink cause they share the same spring so the feeling of braking stiffness is like non existent and sometime you'll overbreak

[tiny venture]

the wheel itself is what has the chip so you can go like a stronger wheel base down the line whenever you can either afford to or want to upgrade

[rich dagger]

honestly i’m happy with my gtdd pro at 8nm

So i’m focusing my dollary doos on peripherals

[tiny venture]

Prolly what I'll do, also going moza r3 route just to get into the hobby

The wheel is easily moddable/replaceable down the line anyway

[tiny venture]

by no means a quick lap, but fopr being on a controller im pretty happy with it

spa for reference

twas a very good race

got called a dirty driver for zero reason by a guy that kept spinning cause i passed under blue flags somewhat close to him and he spun again

(he had 160c tires)

lmu is very fun and playable even on controller

[rich dagger]

not a bad showing from the big stub

[rich dagger]

sim racing is fragile egos and men with more money than sense

[elder dirge]

[oblique python]

Tona!

[elder dirge]

Toe nah

[tender karma]

what rankings do you have?

[crimson bison]

Williams livery

[oblique python]

that's solid

[crimson bison]

Yeah

Wish it had more white tho

[oblique python]

no

more color is good

less black and white

[crimson bison]

I thought the white was silver in this pic it looks a lot better now after realizing that

[oblique python]

@rich dagger @tiny venture another raw

[elder dirge]

That would look good edited I believe in it

[tiny venture]

Just got the game so a little below starting rank

[tiny venture]

Nah fr

I was just faster then him somehow

I'm in like split 8 or smth so I'm pretty low but the first 2 races were fucking garbage while I learnt the track

Double dnf 🤩

[oblique python]

@tiny venture @rich dagger anotha one

[elder dirge]

Hold up

Already sick but with enough editing

That could be insanely sick

[oblique python]

absolutely

these are just sooc raws, there's so much potential here

[elder dirge]

Was that with the fog aswell?

[oblique python]

this was as it was rolling in

[elder dirge]

Ohh shittt

If its edited right and there's more light focus on the cars pitbox and such than the background

It could look like the ultimate photo

[oblique python]

yeah

feel free to cook up something

i'm sending these because a couple of people wanted to play with some of my raws

[elder dirge]

Ok

Won't be good because I'm on a phone

I can't even edit it cuz I don't got lightroom premium

[oblique python]

💔

i'm throwing together a quick edit

[elder dirge]

Hmm

Just dunno

Maybe less saturated or something?

[oblique python]

here's saturation -24

[elder dirge]

I like it

[oblique python]

i feel like there's an outlier here...lol

[elder dirge]

Bell yeah

[crimson bison]

that is such a sick photo dude omg

movie shot dude

[tiny venture]

bit of a colder tone to my edit

just darkened the areas up top and bottom a bit to draw the eye to the car more

[elder dirge]

Yeah that's good

[tiny venture]

Gave into the gas

Once I buy lmu let's 1v1

[tiny venture]

Lmu is worth the money

If you're on the fence
Buy it

[crimson bison]

I do really want it but I don't have $40 to spend rn

[oblique python]

i like it but it’s too green

[elder dirge]

Then un green it

[oblique python]

33,000 photos really didn't use as much storage as i thought it would

[sweet fjord]

these are raw?

[oblique python]

yeah

[sweet fjord]

oh wtf

[oblique python]

high efficiency compressed

and only 24mp

[sweet fjord]

ah ok

almost 2tb

for double the files

but uncompressed

all raws

[oblique python]

makes sense

[sweet fjord]

this is a camera setting right?

or you compress afterwards?

[oblique python]

yeah in camera

i can choose from lossless, high efficiency*, or high efficiency

[sweet fjord]

good deal

never considered it

[sweet fjord]

have you done any comparisons for uncompressed and compressed raws?

[oblique python]

very unscientific, but based on that as well as other people's comparisions and reviews, i can't tell a difference at all

i'm sure there are extreme edge cases where it might make a minor difference, but for me it makes zero difference so i'll take the space savings

[sweet fjord]

good deal

[oblique python]

wait a minute...my computer wasn't calculating something right

now it's showing almost 500gb

[sweet fjord]

weird

but still compressed

[oblique python]

yeah

[vagrant dew]

i got it for 26 on a key site

[crimson bison]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUWU3RZDBs8/?

[elder dirge]

Oh my God they actually have a car

[elder dirge]

What have I stumbled upon

[crimson bison]

Saw this on insta

[oblique python]

alright, i'm down to about 1,200 photos and i'm pretty much done with my culling

this is still so many oh my goodness

actually, i can probably trim my photos from VP Challenge, Michelin Challenge, etc

[rich dagger]

is this the AM manthey entry?

can’t remember

[oblique python]

yeah

manthey has this one and then the #911 grello porsche

[rich dagger]

Yeah i’ll play with it and see

[oblique python]

spike looks incredible in gold

[elder dirge]

Indeed

As much as I love purple the gold works in the sunsets

[oblique python]

yeah

teams keep liking my stories but are too pussy to repost them

[rich dagger]

ouch

[rich dagger]

ABSOLUTE FIRE

[oblique python]

this one is so cool

the orange sunlight with the orange mclaren

i like it a lot

at the race i was shooting in a spot for a while and i noticed a lady standing around for a while, when i was done shooting there she came up to me and asked for a card. I couldn't hear her well (there were 61 race cars on the track at the time, not the quietest environment) but she asked if i had pictuers of the mclaren and it sounded like she was connected to one of the mclaren drivers. i gave her a card to get in touch but i'm yet to hear back

[rich dagger]

very strong image imo

sharp, love the colours, says daytona

[oblique python]

i'm so happy with this one

i've been waiting to get to it in my editing queue

[elder dirge]

Wow

[oblique python]

the way the car just...glows...is so cool

[rich dagger]

I like this too

[elder dirge]

Yesss

Did you get any cars below the daytona logo on the banking there?

[oblique python]

i'm not sure

[elder dirge]

You should check

Those types of photos are really good and such

[oblique python]

i'll do it later

what exactly do you mean though?

like that rexy picture, but with the car a bit to the left?

(unedited)

[elder dirge]

That's un edited???

Wow

[elder dirge]

With the word daytona in the background on the wall

[oblique python]

yeah, it's kinda bleh

[oblique python]

i don't know if i got anything wide enough to have the full wording

[elder dirge]

Even just a bit of it like in the middle

[oblique python]

i'll look at my other days later

[rich dagger]

head to ytona motor speedway boys

[elder dirge]

FUCK YES

I love it

[oblique python]

[elder dirge]

If I didn't prefer to use my own photos and stuff for like wallpapers and pfps and such I'd use that

Mainly just to avoid and trouble, other stuff, etc

[oblique python]

you're welcome to use it but yeah I only use my photos for my wallpapers

[steel quest]

holy tuff

that ferrari can't beat this though

(prime shitbox i found on a garage)

[thorny magnet]

someone PLEASE ask him about the dick pics

[elder dirge]

Excuse me?

You want hornys dick pics??

[oblique python]

i know G920 is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel, but is it worth $100 for a wheel+pedal set, vs a controller?

i'm not going to spend much more than that on a wheel, is it worth getting a G920 or should I not even bother

[elder dirge]

Get a g29

Join me and others in our shitty sim experience

I mean

Amazing sim experience

[oblique python]

are they $100 or less

also are there any good IMSA games out there?

[vagrant dew]

yes

the g920 is fine if your casual its just the hardcore simracers who really care, you can have plenty of fun

[oblique python]

hmmm

actually i should wait and see what its going to cost to get my lens repaired first

[elder dirge]

Idk if there's any imsa focused games

Depends on what game system aswell

[oblique python]

PC

iracing probably the best bet, though i don't like subscriptions

[tiny venture]

They're the same thing

Just ones for Xbox and one is PlayStation

[steel quest]

why is bro so interested in hornedoncular's dih?

[thorny sun]

[fiery heath]

that's the one

[thorny sun]

Ah

Interesting

[fiery heath]

he gets about

[thorny sun]

Mhm

The Only racing 24 hours series that is free to watch is nurburgring

Wish le mans was free like nurburgring

Because le mans only shows cockpit live cameras during 24 hours of le mans

Atleast they do not gatekeep like f1

[crimson bison]

It doesn't need color

I think the only color on the car is the tommy hilfiger logo at the front

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUtFeVfje5Q/?

Sad there's no chrome on the actual caddy race livery

big dubs for hilfiger then

that logo gonna stand out real nice

Sadly all blurry

Only sharp ones are these

And there's something wrong with both

[tiny venture]

Yup
Straight away

Happens atleast once a year

We had a run in with one at the Bathurst 1000 last year lol

Bathurst top 5 race tracks of all time and you can't change my mind

So challenging but when you do it right omg

that’s fucked

or was it like

dumb driving

yellow flags didn’t come up in time it looks like

[steel quest]

Toronto auto show?

[elder dirge]

Yessir

[tiny venture]

Yellow flags weren't put up at the marshal post before, miscommunications

They were in the process of putting them out

[crimson bison]

What the FUCK

F1 just announced that barcelona will rotate with SPA EVERY OTHER YEAR😭😭😭😭😭😭

[mild bison]

The cars are stupid, this... FIA, what the hell are you doing??

[crimson bison]

the new cars might look good but god damn are they awful

they're literally as slow as f2 cars in some areas

[vagrant dew]

this is why sro and wec and imsa are better than f1

f1 is more for viewership and marketing and not about the racing

[lean cliff]

lol

[crimson bison]

a normal person can also afford a ticket to a endurance race

imagine if the wec had the coverage that f1 did

[vagrant dew]

that too

[elder dirge]

It'd be un accessible

There's no escape

Half the time at Monza I make it to turn 1 barely behind the back of the pack cause the corvette is so quick

I'm in the slow process of buying all the GT3 cars over time when I feel like it and the corvette is so fast in a straight line

A bit unstable but soo fast

[naive falcon]

I like the 296gt3 the most but I think I'm pretty alone with that

I was pretty confused with Monza in LMU because I only know the ACC variate with the chicane

[elder dirge]

296 gt3 is fun and all

But

Porsche superiority

[tiny venture]

I do like this car alot
Super easy to drive and really fast

The layouts honestly really easy it's just missing the chicane so curva grande is flat out that's all

[tiny venture]

IM SCARED

[tiny venture]

nvm i bitch these guys

got sent wide by a guy on lap 2 somehow made up like 6 spots in a few laps

[naive falcon]

Yeah that's also my feeling of the car, most of my friends say it's a bad car and unpredictable to drive but I've never understood that

[naive falcon]

Nicee

[tiny venture]

Idk it's fast and comfortable I've had no issues so far

[naive falcon]

Me neither

I loved to drive the 720s in acc before the 296 came to the game, therefore I also tried the 720s in LMU but I couldn't keep it up to pace

[elder dirge]

Asmr

[crimson bison]

week 2 day 1 testing ferrari has the fastest non mercedes time

[vagrant dew]

i did 720s in acc then 296 then 720s again in lmu

[naive falcon]

The 720s was really fun in acc until the Evo came out. That thing was so broken at the beginning, it felt like cheating to drive it

[crimson bison]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DU6FkcfDHxk/?

[tiny venture]

the 720s feels like a boat now that ive tried other cars

its so stable and easy to drive tho

[fiery heath]

ferrari are truly fucking around with the rear

I don’t have dlc so it’s that mustang or merc

I’m not good at front engines yet

[elder dirge]

Get good at front engines then

They are fun and sound good

Still don't beat porsche, porsche supremacy

[tiny venture]

Ah yeah fair

I do recommend the ferrariz corvette and BMW dlc it's a good all rounder

[vagrant dew]

I’m thinking of it but I’m also saving up for a civic

Can’t be buying nothing or I’ll keep spending

@tiny venture

[elder dirge]

Working hard

[oblique python]

there's a VERY small chance this will result in anything happening but

an acquaintance who races MotoAmerica/Isle of Man/etc works in automotive/racing and is having a meeting with Cadillac F1 team next week, he said he'd pitch me to them as a photographer for some of the US races

[elder dirge]

Ooo nice

Everyone's got all these cool things happening, I'm just painting lego bricks

[oblique python]

paiting Lego is diabolical

[elder dirge]

Nah trust me

It'll be cool

I'm making it into the audi f1 car

[oblique python]

(also don't feel like things are moving for all of us, I would be VERY surprised if this results in anything at all for me)

[elder dirge]

Still

You have a good chance

At doing something

Just believe

Painting lego is boring

I've gotta do like 8 or 9 layers minimum

Tryna get rid of the red on the halo

Think I'm done the top of these

Now to dry so I can take them off

Gonna give it about 30 minutes, test it and wait more if it isn't dry

[crimson bison]

It's my dream muscle car

I like the kr even more

[crimson bison]

S197 is my favorite gen mustang

[elder dirge]

But in general

[crimson bison]

They're so damn good looking

[elder dirge]

That generation for shelbys was the best

Its just so good

😩

These 3, dream muscle car garage

Ignore how ass the photos are

[crimson bison]

I saw a s197 shelby super snake in 2024

Hot

It might even be a kr she said that she knew it was a shelby just like that but not too much about it

[elder dirge]

Ah

[elder dirge]

Oh hell nah

[crimson bison]

the ams2 main menu theme is so good

[vagrant dew]

just f1

its the only motorsport thats not really aimed towards racing fans

[fiery heath]

f1 is an engineering showcase that happens to have some racing in it

wec is a through and through motorsport

the further down the endurance ladder you go the more it really is racing

two best racing categories on earth rn:

• IMSA (american sportscar endurance)
• British National Karting Championships

[oblique python]

nascar is pretty high on the list in terms of racing imo

i'm an unapologetic nascar enjoyer

[fiery heath]

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

f1 in c tier is being very generous btw

but D would've been way too heavy

[oblique python]

what makes indycar s tier while nascar is a tier?

i don't hate it, but i feel like they're pretty equal

i could see it though

[fiery heath]

higher calibre of drivers, more variation in track rotation, true spec series, uses a sensible points system

[oblique python]

that's fair

(though have you seen nascar's new chase system that replaced the playoffs?)

[fiery heath]

while nascar cup has had the same 15 drivers towards the front for like 20 years and uses some absolutely insane points, plus why are we racing in stages it's supposed to be a race

[oblique python]

stages are dumb, i'll give you that for sure

[fiery heath]

it's the same thing in a different paintjob

[oblique python]

it's not

[fiery heath]

i do enjoy nascar but i don't follow it as religiously as indy

[elder dirge]

Why isn't michelin pilot challenge ahead of weather tech and why is mx5 below weather tech

[fiery heath]

i genuinely do follow mx5s more than i do indy

[oblique python]

michelin pilot challenge shouldn't be above weathertech

[fiery heath]

imsa is simply the best racing category on the planet right now
why are we calling racing categories by their sponsor names

[elder dirge]

It should

It's got gt4s and lmp3s

[oblique python]

it's great racing

[elder dirge]

They sound amazing and look stunning

[oblique python]

but it's not ahead of weathertech

[fiery heath]

yeah two categories that are designed for dentists

[elder dirge]

Fine

[elder dirge]

That's mainly nurburg stuff

Get it right 🥀

[fiery heath]

it's more prominent in the US than it is most of europe and asia

especially LMP3

[elder dirge]

Lmp3 is amazing

[fiery heath]

the uk has some actual competition in GT4s

[elder dirge]

I wish sccc lasted longer

We mightve gotten more than 3 gt4s

And maybe lmp3s

If they ever thought to be the first

[fiery heath]

what were you calling michelin pilot challenge btw

because that is the sponsored name of imsa

as well as weathertech imsa

[elder dirge]

Isn't it the one with the p3s and gt4s in pilot challenge?

Am I tripping balls?

[fiery heath]

we're both wrong

[oblique python]

actually i think you're thinking of VP Sportscar Challenge

[fiery heath]

it's the bmw m4 gt category

porsche cup but bmws

[elder dirge]

Ah dangit

[fiery heath]

it's a subsidiary of imsa and only races on imsa weekends

[elder dirge]

And then what was the one that was probably the coolest with I think p3s gt3s and gt4s

[oblique python]

Michelin Pilot Challenge is more than BMWs if that's what you're saying

[elder dirge]

Because that I wanna see

I missed it last year, I missed alot of good racing

[fiery heath]

i'm still wrong yes

[elder dirge]

I hope to see it again

[fiery heath]

it's just the gt category

https://www.imsa.com/michelinpilotchallenge/

Michelin Pilot Challenge:

alas, i am scottish, and you can git fucked if you think i'm sitting to watch 12hrs of motorsports from like 5pm-5am

[elder dirge]

Ok nvm so vp challenge better

[oblique python]

that's peak time to watch really

[fiery heath]

i make an exception for daytona and le mans

[oblique python]

(i'm lying)

[elder dirge]

Michelin is cool ish

[oblique python]

yeah VP is cool, Michelin is ok

WeatherTech is on top though

[fiery heath]

i love watching a night stint, but that's my time so it's often the daytime over there

[oblique python]

yeah true

[fiery heath]

le mans night stint is hot

[elder dirge]

Vp is cooler

What was the one that has the gt3s p3s and gt4s

And are they racing mosport this year

[fiery heath]

yum

[fiery heath]

elms is still better

[elder dirge]

Holy delusional

[fiery heath]

actual endurance races with p2s p3s and gt3s

[elder dirge]

🥀

[fiery heath]

also dirt cheap

i was €25 for paddock access for the full week in portimao

[elder dirge]

Yeah but why not have gt3s gt4s and p3s all on track

And the gt3s trying to kill each other

[fiery heath]

because gt4s deserve to rot

[elder dirge]

Gt4s trying to kill gt3s

[fiery heath]

and p3s are for dentists

and only for dentists

[elder dirge]

And lmp3s spinning

Ok arran

You are just saying shit to say shit 🥀

[fiery heath]

p3s are by definition a dentist category

[elder dirge]

Gt3s are driven by dentists

And mainly only at the nurburgring

[fiery heath]

VERY few gt3s are, and it's everywhere

[elder dirge]

Because they have no life

🥀

Just stop lying to yourself

[fiery heath]

gray newell drives for heart of racing, and that is a through and through gentleman drivers' team

dentistry

oh would you look at that, more dentistry

a really disappointed dentist

[fiery heath]

by the way, do you know how the N24 entries are gathered

[oblique python]

the steam guy?

gaben?

[fiery heath]

it's not like they just spawn in a brand new fleet of GT3s for N24 only

[fiery heath]

his son

yes

[oblique python]

ah

interesting

[elder dirge]

Genuinely just stop talking 🥀

P3s are amazing

You are just jealous of p3 drivers

[fiery heath]

they're literally created to be inferior p2s

that is the only reason they exist

[fiery heath]

read the SP9 entry list for last year's, every one of these teams is a major contender in other competition

https://www.24h-rennen.de/en/participants/#

there is, of course, the meme car too

but that's besides the point

n24 is supposed to be a wide catchment race

a fucking twingo raced it for the last however many years 😭

[elder dirge]

Lmp3s are supreme

[elder dirge]

Lemme guess, you dislike those beautiful engines

[fiery heath]

they're on par with mecachrome

• low power NA V6s
• artificially limited on power output to match sporting regulations
• horribly inconsistent in build quality
• super restrictive on teams' in-house maintenance
• low budget teams get fucked by not being able to afford the 4 best engines made that year

[elder dirge]

Genuinely just stop yapping 🥀

You know the v8 lmp3s are goated

The v6 p3s are gonna suck ass

And p3s and gt4s are cool

[fiery heath]

they're even worse for power limitation under current regs

[elder dirge]

[fiery heath]

gt4s are also literally diet gt3s

and you know it

[elder dirge]

Yeah for a reason

Are we deadass

It's gt4 not gt3

It's ment to be lower class

And slower

It's grass roots twin

🥀

We deadass fr twin rn ong

🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀

[fiery heath]

the SRO created GT4 not to be slower, but to be more affordable for amateur/hobbyist drivers

which had the knock-on effect of being slower

i reiterate

it is a category made for dentists

[fiery heath]

if your entire argument against this is wilted rose emoji and 'are we deadass' you should probably go back to tiktok can't lie

i'm tryna debate sensibly here
