Is it too early for slicks lads?
Depends how much of a mad lad you are
it's time for slicks. surprised not more have moved to them
wouldn't want some p2 or gtd shitter on them right now
The track is getting faster and you can clearly see the dry line so it should be about right.

Maybe, will take good pit stops and lucky yellows.

what do they mean no refuelling on jack stands? Don't they do that every stop when they swap tires?
I'm also not understanding that penalty.
Yeah I don't know either. I'm pretty sure everyone is doing it.
>Don't they do that every stop when they swap tires?
not in IMSA. cars refuel then swap tires. Not allowed to do both at the same time
i think it's because in case of a fire they want to be able to move the car away from the fuel line, or maybe because static electricity could cause a fire
i'm pretty sure I've seen them doing them at the same time for most pit stops. The announcers were even talking about how they could do them at the same time earlier.
WTF are you talking about IMSA does both at the same time. IMSA never adopted ALMS/LeMans pit stop rules.
I really like this porsche livery.

>lmp2 still exists
Why?
Because someone will still pay to race there. Why spend your money there vs. spending for a competitive GT3 team? That's the real question.
le mans invite
The real question is why are there still privateer LMP1 teams. Do even even make money at that stage?
>sports car teams
>making money
They say that in racing the quickest way to make a small fortune is to start with a large one.
>Not memeing though I think the only thing keeping people racing in WEC instead of IMSA or ELMS is that WEC runs Lemans
WEC LMP2 teams are largely funded by China money so racing outside of Europe is important. WEC exists as an avenue to justify investment from emerging markets and manufacturers in Le Mans so it doesn't turn into a legacy podunk race like the Indy 500.
No foreign owned prototype team will ever go near an IMSA race again under the current administration and there's some GT teams that are pretty unimpressed at this point as well. It's basically Grand Am but with GTE and squatting on the other historic US endurance races now. I'll make a point of the latter because it's why we ended up with such a watered down retarded format for the WEC race this weekend, as any threat to their ownership of those events also threatens their monopoly on the sport in America.
>we knew who was gonna win before the race even started
based boomer throwing shade at WEC
my niggas
What are they all so unhappy about?
Wasting tons of money to come over to the States for two endurance races just to get anally fucked by BoP and shit officiating. LMP2 is now a class that exists just to tell people to fuck off anyways, being nerfed into irrelevance and getting about 5 seconds of TV time in a 24 hour race.
quality shitpost
Makes sense
What are the GT teams mad about though?
>this fucking leaf
I didn't miss you
the problem with WEC is the garbage coverage
LM last year was unwatchable
For starters I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm gonna go with and ask for some sources on people unhappy with anything besides BOP.
I don't disagree that the France family is desperately trying to keep their clutches on a small kingdom that Don Panoz poured his heart and soul into building, but the fact of the matter is that seemingly despite some of their own efforts IMSA has managed to build a series that continues to see expansion each year, puts on a decent to great show each weekend, and suffers from far less political bullshittery than any ACO involved series does.
My biggest complaint with IMSA is the god awful theme song NBC wrote for this year...
Is that johnny "you know" o'connell?
Remember the drinking game, every time johnny says you know take a shot
It is, enjoy dying
Should go back to ALMS days and have this be the theme song again:
youtu.be
How much money do I need to bring a Super Taikyu GT3 team to America to race in itasha livery?
Depends which GT3 car you want to run, but if you want to be competitive expect a budget of $1-1.5 million USD. Rough breakdown:
$300-$500k for GT3 car
~$250-500k for spares and equipment
~$250-500k for drivers and crew
And this is not accounting for any sponsorship.
2 million for a full IMSA season if i recall correctly.
No no, I want to pay an existing Super Taikyu team to bring their weeb as fuck car to America for one race, just to see what reaction their moeshit car gets.
They mostly get the weird officiating, I feel like someone gets DQ'd from the podium if not the win at Daytona literally ever year. American teams ragequit GTD for World Challenge over that and BoP periodically even but for European teams the extra travel makes those things even more of a deterrent when you can stay home and just get mildly fucked by Stefan Ratel and ADAC instead.
>continues to see expansion each year
Might want to look at the entry lists for the first two races last year and this year my guy. Daytona was down from 50 to 47 and that's despite adding more GT3 filler.
>suffers from far less political bullshittery than any ACO involved series does.
Nah they just have better media control. That's partly because of the France family iron fist, and also partly because the sports car media only has two series to cover in the US so they both can't afford to piss them off and have time to shitpost about international series. If you want a GTLM championship just say you might be quitting at the end of the season and 4 consecutive runaway wins will be deposited in your inbox, and they have had what, 5 straight seasons where Corvette/Cadillac won nearly every race for the first half season and then the BoP mysteriously stopped sucking when every other car was out of championship contention?
that seems cheap to me honestly.
Honestly, I'd still expect it would take between $250-500k if you take into cosideration travel cost for the team and the entirety of their equipment.
>rain in 5
twitter.com
Not 2, 4 million. Although they have been trying to cut down costs and the projected budget for a full season this year was 2,5 million minimum.
sportscar365.com
And with 4 million you could do you a full GTE AM season and almost LMP2 aswell. Probably more or less still the same.
twitter.com
what have I missed in the last 3 hrs? running order looks about the same
Mazda LMP went off and into the tire wall, but was ok. But that might have been more than three hours ago.
A three car drop in overall entries is not significant, especially when many teams left due to money troubles. There have been multiple new full time entries to the series as well as a new manufacturer in McLaren and the potential for Aston to join next year and for Ford to move to the top class. And you must be misktaking IMSA for WEC, because I'm pretty sure BMW won GTLM on their own merits at Daytona and while Ford has the GTLM lead currently it's still anybody's race. And as much as I hate to say it, if you honestly can't see that Cadillac and Dallara have produced the best prototype overall and have the best teams in the series running the cars then you're delusional.
What would be the least expensive professional racing series to start a team in?
define professional
define "professional" first
whoops, meant for
IMSA, IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA, WEC, WRC, etc.
Likely either GTD in IMSA or Indycar
none of those would qualify as inexpensive but IMSA is probably cheap unless you do a nascar regional series
Out of the way fat boy
>I'm pretty sure BMW won GTLM on their own merits at Daytona
Oh no it's retarded
>can't see that Cadillac and Dallara have produced the best prototype overall
Yes of course, we can all see how clearly superiour the Dallara chassis is from its dominating 1 win in LMP2 competition.
some regional dirt track series is probably cheapest. but you can't survive alone on that money I don't think
Some form of national/regional TCR probably.
So... what? You mean like series that get lots of media coverage? NASCAR isn't just the National series and IMSA is not just the Floormat championship. They all have less expensive series that are for smaller teams.
Yeah pretty much. I mean a series that actually gets shown on TV and has a decent following, not like Miata spec racing or local late models
>Yes of course, we can all see how clearly superiour the Dallara chassis is from its dominating 1 win in LMP2 competition.
You're just being obtuse now. That other guy clearly meant the DPi formula. Not LMP2.

>1 win in 18 races without BoP

>no trust me it's just the best car
>I mean a series that actually gets shown on TV
Probably NHRA Pro Stock Bike. Supposedly only $100k-200k per weekend. Not a whole lot of TV coverage, but it happens.
I had Chinese last night, and leftover Chinese for breakfast. Then, some Oreos.
>DPi is the same as FIA LMP2.
Stop being retarded.
It's ok, the leaf has entered defensive mode now as it cherry picks pieces of the argument while offering no response to any real points made. He's just a sad wec fanboy who's probably never even been to a Canadian track let alone tasted a McMosport.
Series or top class? Technically the CTSC is part of IMSA.
isn't wrong because motos are fucking cheap to run. $500k would be considered a lot of money already. Johnny Rock Page for President.
But assuming you meant 'cheapest top-tier class in a world class championship', probably GTE or WRC. NASCAR and Indycar would be an order of magnitude more expensive to be competitive I think. If you meant cheapest series with TV coverage, probably TCR-class, CTSC, 24H Series. If you don't want to race shitboxes, step up to GT4.
imagine replying to the canadian autist in every thread
You can do drone racing too. You can get competitive equipment to practice on for less than $2K
That better not be a slur against Mosport. It's a pretty rad track, honest.
Honey Nut Cheerios.
The only thing I ever had against Mosport got fixed when they replaced the grass outside turn 2 with pavement. Mosport has always been one of my favourite tracks, and getting the right launch out of 5b onto the back straight is purely boner enducing.
Because putting in a small block Chevy that's supposed to be air restricted to the same performance as the engine that came out of it just magically transforms the car into something completely different.
Stop sucking marketing dick.
I bet you've never seen a true R8 or a real Indy car. If only they taught geography in American schools you might understand when I tell you that Laguna Seca is a full day closer than Mosport anyways and it's largely coincidental I've ever been there though.
>he thinks the only difference is an engine swap.
Oh, boy. You just dug a hole you can't get out of now. This is one of those moments that you should just stop and just google the difference between LMP2 and DPi.
Or maybe just continue your charade because my sides have not fully detached yet.
I just assume when RLM was talking to Bobby he was grilling

this yt stream is shitting the bed for me
Apparently they don't teach engineering in Canada seeing how you can't understand the difference between a redesigned Dallara and a factory one. And since you're apparently a western Canadian, then I'll substitute Mosport for Edmonton, Vancouver, or Portland if America is somehow your only point of reference.
>that Ford live feed
>getting bootyblasted by some dumb leaf
fuck you josh
Do tell the class how an engine brace, slightly different fenders, and slightly better traction control makes the car so vastly better that it's impossible to BoP with otherwise clearly superiour cars that have the same things.

Penske has driven both a DPi and LMP2 in IMSA competiton. I'll let these quotes from Tim Cindric, the president of Penske, explain it to you:
>"The LMP2 cars are quite constrained in terms of what they're able to do from a functionality perspective"
>"When it comes to fuel-mapping, traction control and all the electronic integration, it's much more complex and integrated in the OEMs than the LMP2 cars are allowed. The number of knobs you can turn with an OEM-specific DPi car is certainly more."

You can read the rest of the article if you want, but we both know that you won't. Especially for someone who thinks body work aerodynamics and engines don't fundamentally change a car.
PUT IT OUT
>audi
Sebring is a nothing town most of the year.
>slightly better traction control
Yeah the bodywork is different but they were designed at the same time so there's no reason one should be massively better than the other (and once again, the other DPi have much the same thing) unless you think Dallara intentionally wants to not sell any cars outside of America.
Kindly fuck off, leafnigger.
What happened to the plaid porsche?
Wheel speed sensor failure, completely fucked the TCS and ABS systems.
Is it me or is harder to pay attention when it's dark? Couldn't even make out that last overtake.
>pussywagon 1st
at what cost
I would not be here if not for your willful ignorance. I mean the Cadillac probably is the best DPi because they didn't stick a boat anchor turbo in the back but it's just retarded to suggest they couldn't have BoP hammered it in line if they wanted to, especially when they found a way to shitkick 3s/lap out of the base P2 cars this year.
If I'm going to watch someone win 8 straight races I want it to be because they knocked everyone the fuck out in a fair fight, not because everyone was told to not try too hard because they'd be equalized and then they weren't.
