Chase put on a good show at the end and nearly caused some carnage. The 500 is going to be a bloodbath.

I'm imagining that the top seven or so is going to freight train around while everyone behind them keeps scattering and dumping each other.

That OP needs to kys

nascar is what i was thinking for how close they race. i saw some clip from austrian v8 supercars bathhurst 1000 and there was 56 cars in it.

also holy shit lol

There's only like 26 now

Can't they just not be full of shit for 5 goddamn minutes, fucking NASCAR.

The other thing that consistently pisses me off about that garbage is that say in F1 you get wall to wall coverage on every media every time the cars are on track while in NASCAR I guess they allegedly put Cup qualifying on and 100% can not be fucked with practice because obviously NASCAR fans don't give two shits about how racing actually works and want to pretend it's like football and just see who turns up and wins Sunday.

Oh right I forgot the golden "I can't think of a better place with better value for drivers and sponsors than the NASCAR truck series" line, because truly only the BEST VALUEST RACING SERIES FOR MAXIMUM ADVANCEMENTS FOR PRO DRIVE PILOTS would shrink the fuck out of its fields and still not be able to fill them.

Holy hell that must be a fun time, like 300 drivers minimum, probably closer to 500.

Also the fact that you can see cars still coming out of La Source in the distance while the leaders are coming by, thats nuts

Bell thinks the xfinity race could be a clusterfuck like the trucks, if it's half as fun i'll be happy

probably closer to 600, being a clubman level race most of the cars use 4 drivers, hell maybe even 5

Well, shit. The Xfin race was a bust, but I expected as much. The cup race will probably be ass tomorrow as well.

Formula E is on.

everything else below f2 is motorsport though

Are you implying Indy is below F2?

He obviously meant yuro racing
This is an American general

no it isn't

no, i forgot to clarify. i meant of open wheel eu racing. gp2 used to get talked about a lot here, but indy retard made shitty ops that didn't include shit like eurof3, formula renault/v8 3.5, and such. the talent really isn't down there anymore and f2 is boring as hell.

Nope.

May seem that way because the only furriners that hang out here on the reg are actually into motorsport and not just shitposting like the other cancer we run out of here when they show their head. Except for that dumb fucking Canadian that insists on shitting up the place....who we just ignore anyway.

I live like 4 miles from the track and I can still hear it in my house.

Fun fact, if you are too poor to afford tickets there are places,in the airport where the track is visible.

surely spring break and bike week people are more annoying

I’m meming mostly, the race noises are kinda like rain on a window. Comfy in a way. It can get annoying if you have to be real close to,the track tho.

Also yeah going to a bar during bike week is playing knife roulette

Its accurate

Haha motorsport.com has changed their calendar to be more modern. The one thing that site had that wasn't awful and they fucked it up.

They change that shit up so often, but I think the package they just ran was the higher downforce version of the package they ran where the car babies all got btfo and were wrecking in the corners because reasons.

>“Gen 7”, of course, will be the next generation of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car the sanctioning body is looking to roll out by 2021. The following year could see a new engine package, but that won’t come any sooner: NASCAR’s deal with its OEMs sees the current engines in use through the ’21 season.

can't be worse than the xfinity race

That's because the urbanite communists that subverted our media and entertainment industry hate racing because it popularizes something that is traditionally white, male, and southern / midwest / rural.

The coverage of NASCAR looks like it's being produced by some limp-wristed faggot from a liberal arts college and feminists. It's cancer.

The racing is still alright, though.

at worse it will be like the duels

I've never watched

Stewart and Gordon retired

I'll watch more than just this. But fuck the playoffs and fuck 550 horsepower. I'm not watching every week anymore

Both.

He's a walking vagina that should be culled for being the bad influence "he" is....

sounds like your dad is typical southern retard since the majority of races are still in the south and most drivers are still from there.

how many of you fags are actually attending the race

The truck series is still great because they haven't fucked up the aero on them, yet, and the spec engines have worked out far better than anyone ever imagined, including me.

because the midwest and west coast have just as long a history of oval racing

5 of the 16 chasers last year are from the south. 3 of them are 2nd gen (Elliot, blaney, and Dillon) and Almirola barely counts because he's from a cuban immigrant family that moved to Florida.
I personally don't give a shit, but NASCAR drivers are not southerners anymore.

But it's OUR cup
Or it was

the cup is rightful california clay by conquest

Hope people get racy early. Tired of waiting for the fucking 9/10ths of the race to get a good crash

It's not the 40's anymore, dude. People move around, and there isn't a major urban center in the nation that isn't filled with a significant population of outsiders there just for work, even in the south.

Okay sure, but people are saying drivers are still mostly from the south. That's factually incorrect.

He's to close to wall, better watch out m8

holy shit Darrell Waltrip is going downhill fast

I wasn't sure but thank you for clarifying.

you think a hans device will keep this kid safe today?

His life force is tied to NASCAR

love how his belt is low in the front and super high in the back. Accentuates his old man'nes

Did anyone else just leave it on Fox Sports and is watching the bowling tournament now?

Well, that us what they are for, aren't they?

He has to leave the booth sooner rather then later but I hope after that happens they don't give him the Lee Corso treatment and just roll his corpse out there every week

>Team owner Kazumichi Goh, who won Le Mans with an Audi R8 in 2004 (pictured above), has revealed that he has aspirations to race again at the blue-riband round of the FIA World Endurance Championship following the announcement of his plans for a Super GT300 campaign with the McLaren 720S GT3 in 2019.
>He has stressed that he is back in motorsport for the long haul and has admitted that he is already evaluating how to return to Le Mans for the first time since 2009.
>"I do have the aim to return to Le Mans somewhere down the line and we're looking at all options," Goh told Motorsport.com. "We'd like to challenge for the overall win again, but we're not ruling out LMP2."
>Goh revealed that his organisation is monitoring the new hypercar concept prototype rules due come into force in the WEC for the 2020/21 season.
>"I've put a couple of guys on watching the regulations and we believe that the estimated budget is sustainable for a privateer," he said.
>He hasn't ruled out continuing his relationship with McLaren, which he has revived for this year with twin assaults on Super GT's lower division and Super Taikyu.
>Goh described working with McLaren as a "potential route" should the British marque give the green light to its tentative plans to build a hypercar prototype.
Nice. Someone should bring back Pescarolo Sport with consent from Henry.

I heard the Daytona Police scanner is going wild right now

fuck lads I can watch the entire 12 hour bathurst but daytona just bores me. I even grew up in nascar country

Well, Daytona delivered. Both the truck and the cup races were a fucking disaster with more than half the field taken out.

Madness.

Why was the Xfinity race so shit but Cup could do 3 wide? Was the low line not there yet or is the package that shit?

yes

Exactly.

Last plate race ever.

It'll probably get worse. The cup race was actually pretty good up until lap 20. Then it turned into a fucking slaughter again.

>try to upload the finish from hamiln's onboard
>nascar going full stalin blocking every single race related video
guess i won't bother about onboard stuff this year

They are going to have more HP with the tapered spacer package than they do with the current restictor plate. Might make for some better racing come Talladega if they are able to get better runs. Maybe the slingshot will be back

Indycar's state of the art cockpit protection is being utilized to avoid lawsuits while also deflecting only the most tiny debris.

>deflecting only the most tiny debris
Wouldn't it actually deflect only large debris, though? Tiny debris could go right past it.

Why lmao. Should have gone ECR

I like how they put out a new image with the thing green so the boomers online could see it

wasn't the main argument indycar had against the HALO that it decreased vision? how is this different?

It doesn't block vision when looking upwards at banking.
That's the reason a halo isn't adopted.

Not soon enough.

You know, just because some idiot comes up with a meme doesn't mean you have to use it, right? Especially when that meme is as dumb as the "boomer/zoomer" meme, or any other number of idiotic shit you underage faggots try to force.

no instead it blocks vision right in front of the driver. can't see that causing any problems with some of the scrubs in the series, no sir.

all you need to do is look at the comments below the story and see that indeed there are boomers who have no idea what they are looking at, peepaw.

They said it will just be used until the windshield gets implemented in 2020.

that render is dogshit with the fresnel off the side pod lmao. not surprised people are confused when that gets more attention than the horn. can't wait for all the broadcast memes explaining it
