That feel when you're excited to drop NASCAR but they put 3 short tracks in 4 weeks so you can't.

It's actually fine though, it's not until May that the polar that ends and race tracks open for their disgustingly short season in this god forsaken wasteland and I actually have anything better to do ever.

You all know the correct answer is "what the fuck is an ARCA?"

About 1/4 of the way through.

Well, boomers like to sit around and do nothing on Sunday and football isn’t on so boom NASCAR

The appeal of all oval racing is being able to see all the action from your seat

I haven't watched NASCAR for years.
I used to enjoy the regular road races, not so much the ovals.

Also here are the practice results from Indycar Practice 1 at COTA.

Colton Herta blew his Honda so much that the engine actually seized while he was driving causing the rears to lock up and spin him around.
Hell of a clean up, took 15 minutes and I bet there was oil everywhere and a rod thrown through the side of the block.

>boomer
What are you 12?

pay attention to practice robin

are you saying he isn't the quintessential boomer indycar fan?

No, I'm saying that "boomer" is dumb as fuck because it suggests any given generation is somehow more or less cancerous than any other generation, which is completely false.

Miller would be cancer regardless if he was 20, 40, or 60, and you dumb faggots should realize that shit.

F3 European Masters (aka the good European Formula 3 series that actually selected out the best drivers) is officially dead. Sad times.

thanks japan for still having grid girls

Quali live.

another F3 series will replace it, just like it always happens in F3, sucks but it's not a massive loss

It won't, the series died because the class got killed to rename GP3.

Tried watching NASCAR but it's boring as shit. Is Indycar more fun? Might watch the race on Sunday.

nah

eh

Martinsville will probably be better than Parking Lot of the Americas

It's going to be interesting no matter, it's tough at first to develop an appreciation for pitstop strategies.
Always hope for an entirely or mostly green race. If yellows are to happen, then hope for them to be after pit windows just ended so it doesn't fuck the guys who are actually quick.

Passes for the lead can and probably will happen on track, but through pit entry and exit laps, a driver can undercut the leader to take the lead.
Example: P2 driver, who is saving fuel, is 2.3 seconds behind P1 Driver, gap is consistent for now. P1 driver pits, this gives P2 driver open track, granting him the ability to run qualifying-like laps that are 1-2 seconds faster a lap than P1 was doing. P2 driver then pits, when he comes out of the pits he should have leap-frogged the leader, even better is if he still has clear track(no traffic) and can continue to run qualifying laps to stretch his advantage.

>he is untalented though?
Not sure. He does beat his teammate consistently, who supposedly has the same car. Let's see him in WEC in a GTE car or something.

let's see him stop being a poof and run the 500

-tries too hard to appear cool
-whiny bitch

Legitimately this is actually the exact reason I thought it was retarded when IMSA had no track limits first. If you were even trying to stay on the track you would never, ever crash anywhere near there. The retarded line you run off track moves the end of the corner so far down the track the runoff area just straight up isn't long enough and puts the apex way closer to the wall. You're still cornering when the runoff area is cutting back towards the track where you should have been on the straight for like 100m.

Interesting that the indy car went up from 177 to 182 from practice to race weekend.

I imagine its partly becuase its not Feb and partly because they gearedt hem better.

However, i'm personally a little dissapointed.

The revelation that firestone tires are complete shit has me asking the question?

Are the Indy 500s on my M5 shit? Should i replace them?

buy 1 tire from a different brand for each corner

>more powerful cars are faster down the straights
The Rebellion had like 550hp and the Mercedes definitely had more power than the Haas, lmao at being this much of a brainlet

2016 vs 2017 f1 regs
2017 cars had more wide wings, more downforce thus more drag

They flattline at like 185 at Road America even, the original DW12 was the only IRL car to have even slightly respectable road course trap speeds and even those came from that fucking Brazil street course of all places.

are they required by rules to put a quali lap on black tirers? why waste the effort if not?

There is no point in comparing those speeds. Indycar is almost a purely national series with a fraction of the funding that goes into wec and f1. They're practically running f2 cars. Good thing is interest is growing and we should see increases in development in the next few years. I'm just happy america has a motorsport that isn't a shitshow like nascar.

There's no point in you being such a faggot either but it must be as interesting to you as comparing car speeds is to people who actually like car racing rather than degenerate butt sex.

>Good thing is interest is growing
It's not

>we should see increases in development in the next few years.
You won't. Increasing displacement and turbo size in the rules to hit a fixed number isn't development.

>I'm just happy america has a motorsport that isn't a shitshow like nascar.
You have a pretty liberal definition of "isn't a shitshow" honestly. Less of a mockery, at least.

I really enjoy watching 40 cars on a not-so-big circuit.

Side pods are too boxy as well.

Biggest things wrong with the current car are:
1.Nose too long proportionately, looks like an anteater
2. From rear of cockpit to attenuator is much too short due to the small engine size, looks wonky
3. Wheel ramps exascerbate point number 2, makes the car look like previous "fat ass" DW12 iterations at certain angles.

It shouldn't be that hard to fix these issues and shed some weight from this car in 2021, but never underestimate Dallara's ability to make a hideous car.

About two fiddy

I've heard people talk about 255 practice radar speeds in '97 when the previous 240mph lap record was set but I imagine that was in the draft.

two fiddy......at Texas. Damn.

That's Fontana but Texas was pretty fucking retarded too.

That's just stupid fast, and I bet they could go faster today if they tried. Even F1 barely hits, what, 230 these days, and only at their fastest track.

don't even know where to begin with this post

Indycars could go faster than that on much less power than 20 years ago by virtue of being more slippery than cars of the past. Indycars would kill the ancient Indy qualifying lap record at just Road Course boost. JR Hildebrand said they played around in the Indy Simulator in 2014 at RC boost and ran 242mph laps.
The current car has a better drag coefficient that the Panoz DP01(the previously most efficient chassis), but that's not saying much when you consider it has been over a decade.(Per Pruett and Dale Coyne's Chief Engineer)

The series is so stagnant and it doesn't need to be. Everything more efficient, a couple qualifying laps at high boost wouldn't kill that many miles off an engine's life.

The Indy lap record is kind of overrated, it was set with a Reynard 95i Ford and that only did 228 at Michigan compared to the 235 lap record there. There's decent reason to believe a later Champ Car could have gone around Indy in the mid-240s.

Get rid of tunnel blockers and Handford wings and they're 15mph beyond that.

I would bet a 750hp lap from a modern Indycar could at least match speeds seen at Fontana and Michigan, not top speed mind you, just average speed.

They don't really make lap time that differently, they just don't have 200hp devoted to overcoming wheel drag.
youtube.com/watch?v=7M7GlTcKDfQ

As far as speed goes, it's the g-load that's the problem, right? Can't modern cars corner faster than than the driver can sustain, g-wise, throughout a race? I thought that's what the problem was in Texas back in the day.

Attached: Dixon at TMS.png (1600x900, 1.25M)

It's that Indy was built in 1911 and has major safety issues from the right angle turns and extremely close grandstands unless you massively change the entire facility which they won't do for both cost and tradition reasons and the track owns the series and doesn't want any other track to be faster.

While in this ONE specific instance the pits would have had to be closed, you should want the rule changed to always open pits so drivers don't get unearned wins.

Also no more wave around. Fuck those slow shitters who go a lap down.

Also use lights on starts, have race control use the light when everyone is gridded-up so we don't have half the field strung out at the last turn all the time.

>you should want the rule changed to always open pits so drivers don't get unearned wins.
in the ovals they should close the pits, but i agree on leaving them open on road/street circuits
>Also no more wave around. Fuck those slow shitters who go a lap down.
that one should stay, no one wants a backmarker trying to be a hero getting his lap back taking out the leader or one of the front running cars, the other option is sending the lapped cars to the back

I think this requires a bit more explanation of how fucking retarded the IRL rule is here.

>standard racing series
>pace car picks up leader
>leader pits
>lapped cars are now between pace car and leader
>leader catches up to back of lapped cars, if they pit they go back a lap down
>with one to go all cars ahead of the leader are waved around so they can catch the back of the field and the leader is the first car to the green

>ShindyCar
>pace car picks up leader
>leader pits
>lapped cars are now behind pace car
>lapped cars are waved around
>pace car picks up leader
>lapped cars catch the back of the field, pit then catch up to the field again

In the former case most lapped cars ahead of the first non-pitting car except for the dudes running out of fuel under yellow will get back on to the lead lap, but on a road course it will put them 30s behind still and on smaller oval they'll get relapped if they pit before the next yellow. Here being a lap down means absolutely nothing, the only disadvantage is not being able to pass lead lap cars in the pits and guys will get 6 laps back without any strategy whatsoever.

Kyle's said it's because he likes racing but it also helps bring in new sponsors for JGR/KBM and keep existing ones happy. He gets the newest equipment as he works closest with TRD out of the Gibbs crew as well.
>Suarez is doing "meh", which is about the same as he did at JGR.
He's doing better at SHR than he did for Gibbs but then he was just thrown in the seat when Carl retired because of his sponsors instead of defending Xfinity. Same with Jones and Kenseth. It's probably why Coach is not keen on putting Bell on a cup team any time soon.

Someone suggested doing a NASCAR endurance race at Pocono. Just combine the races into a big 800 mile race.
It's a novelty, but an 8 hour race with no stages would be fascinating even at a track that NASCAR can't put a decent show on.

Pocono would be the ideal track for that since it very rough on the machines but not as physical as a 1.5 mile or a short track, also they would need to have xfinity and truck guys as co-drivers, feels bad that it'll never happen

Russia vs America in DPi would have been great.

I never understood why the ACO allowed this

Money is money.

Alpine is French. More than likely this will be just a sponsor the same way TVR is with Reb.

I like how NASCAR fans are so fucking stupid they complain about side skirts ruining the racing just because they started painting them in colour again so they finally noticed they exist even though they've been around since Alan Kulwicki was still alive

All NASCAR complaint posts longer than 1.5 lines must be reduced by 30%.

Lol, NASCAR is still practicing within 6 mph of the pre 2013 Texas track record.

What was the point of taking the horsepower out of these cars?

to prepare for smaller engine regulations

They should have simply tried messing with the air duct/dam and spoiler height combinations. Engine power never seemed to be the issue that aero push is at intermediate tracks.

Unironically this. Seems like it would have been a lot cheaper for teams to modify the body of the car.

They would still be prepping for smaller engine regs anyway. Current garage rumor is there's a number of manufacturers interested in Gen 7 but they want V6 engines and teams are happy with V6 because it would significantly bring costs down along with more modifications to the body. We're heading towards the end of the V8 era and NASCAR is gonna make a big stink about 2020 being the last year of it.

>Johnson shit for a season and a half
>suddenly dominating at Texas
The fix is in.

just wait....

It honestly would be pretty cool if NASCAR transitioned to more common technology between street cars and stock cars. I think something like "The parts in your Camaro are the same parts we use in ours" would be pretty cool. Ideally the process of building a Cup car should be similar to the process of building a high-powered street car.

Would also shut up the "muh stock back in stock car" crowd. For awhile at least.

Was qualifying a shitshow? Did I miss anything? I was trying to find a stream that actually worked.

yes so far.

I saw the end there, and it looks like they did that "sit on your ass and wait until the last second" thing again?

Yes and Suarez qualified 4th by going out alone every round
