why is Roger's suit so baggy?
>thread dying during mericlap-hours
yeah...
this thread is better
i think there was a chimp out about apehoop
it's Le Mans weekend tho..
I work overnight so I'm done wagie-ing for the weekend until Sunday night

Old men shouldn't try to dress trendy
Top tip: do sports your whole life and reach your old age with great physics to look good in slim suits even after old age.
Canada won the NBA title last night. The thread was dead before I even thought to bump it
>having a suit that actually fits properly is trendy
lol wat
wow no competition toyotawinslol and gteBoPwinslol so exciting bros!!! go le alonso!!!
>>>/asp
Lose weight
it doesn't have to be a "slim", suit, just one that fits.
look at his pants dude, all that extra pooling up on top of his shoes
But slim looks pretty nice. My grandpa lived until his 94 years of age and he was really, really slim and if wasn't for his arched back he'd look top tip in suits.
true patricians know to root for Jackie Chan Racing in LMP2
Yes fag your slim shit is not a classic look. Roger is a tasteful billionaire not some new money /fa/ggot. Cant believe I'm discussing roger penskes clothes
Roger is in great shape for an 82 year old
the only one in the pic wearing a "slim" suit is Simon
everyone else has a normal fit
Roger's is HUGE
Roger's wearing the MC Hammer fit.
kek
that stuff is a scam btw, it does nothing for your car
When you're an billionaire, you dont need to dress to impress anyone. Roger can wear whatever the fuck he wants and will still be a Chad in charge of the best racing team in the world
The fact toyota still races and actually celebrates its "winning" is an absolute embarrassment for them after VW/Porsche/Audi had to leave
All they are dong right now is dragging their brand through the muck and making themselves look a joke by only being able to win Le Mans through having no competition
I guess they dont care as they make lots of money from the globalist mafia selling hilux trucks to isis to sever kids heads off
never driven a Toyota car, but their forklifts are pieces of shit.

does Fernando actually think another guaranteed Le Mans """win""" will erase his pathetic failure to qualify for the Indy 500
>will erase his pathetic failure to qualify for the Indy 500

lamaoaooooo
FIA strikes again, just like F1 they are turning WEC into a non competitive closed boring shit show
They really are trying to kill off motorsport and force us on to Formula Milk Float
McLaren didn't go with a top team like Andretti for help with preparing their car like last time Fernando attempted the 500. this time they partnered with Carlin, who are notorious for being eternal backmarkers who never win.
>wasted precious practice time because Carlin got the "McLaren papaya orange" shade of paint on the car wrong
>McLaren's engineers fucked up their setup because they are used to centimeters and not inches
>Zak Brown had to PERSONALLY go get a steering wheel for the car from Cosworth
>when Fernando crashed in practice, it took them over a day to get the spare car ready, while Arrow-SPM was able to get a spare car for James Hinchcliffe ready in a few hours
>Carlin was already running 3 cars of their own, for Max Chilton, Charlie Kimball, and Pato O'Ward; and out of those 3 only Kimball qualified
tl;dr, they came in totally unprepared and partnered with one of the shittiest teams, and got embarrassed by Indy-only teams with a tiny fraction of the budget and resources that McLaren has
What the fuck is he doing going in with Mclaren again? I thought he finished with them now he's out of F1? Or is he still contracted to them?
Could Andretti have put out a spare car for him had he been an independent driver or had nothing to do with Mclaren?
youtube.com
WEC 2020 Hypercar Regulations
Honda wants nothing to do with him so no.
>eternal backmarker team
isn't it their first year?
yeah, because of the shit McLaren/Fernando talked about Honda in F1, Honda wouldn't allow any Honda IndyCar teams to provide a car for Fernando. so they were forced to go with a Chevrolet-powered team. and the good chevrolet teams, Team Penske and Ed Carpenter Racing didn't want to help, so they were stuck with a shitter team like Carlin as their only option.
Max Chilton and Charlie Kimball broke off from being pay drivers for Chip Ganassi to start their own team with Trevor Carlin a few years back. and Carlin has been an irrelevant team ever since.
2nd.
FIA loves killing sports car racing series.
just like Group C, just like GT1/GT2.
it's always the same. FIA allows unlimited money, allows the manufacturers to basically play a game of "chicken", on which manufacturer can throw out the most money and use the most loopholes in the rules to destroy the competition.
and then the losing manufacturers quit, and then the dominant manufacturer quits due to no competition. companies eventually realize they are paying F1-level money for a racing category that doesn't have as much exposure as F1, and then they all leave.

>***Beaumesnil said the yet-to-be-determined single-tire supplier in Hypercar may end up offering three or four different types of tire constructions to correspond to the different weight distributions for cars. A class-wide spec tire has been ruled out.
So it's kinda LMP1 was where everyone was using Michelin but they were developed specifically for each car.
That's what came to mind when i read that. Dunlop used to make tires for P1L so it's definitely possible.
2nd year. They were good in indy lights but havent gotten there in IndyCar yet, but they have had shit drivers. Pato and Conor have made the cars look okay at times

why can't they just stick with LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2?
soon we're going to be on LMP34 and GT97
THANKS FIA
But it is LMP1, LMP2, LMP3.
LMP4, LMP5, LMP6, LMP7, LMP8, LMP9...
where does it end?
They only run sub-LMP2 in ELMS etc. anyway
Does anyone have a WRC stream? Can't find anything on r/motorsportsstreams.
sorry lad, I can't find anything either
this series is aimed at nu-males
You know at first I was kinda upset that the top class wasn't called LMP1 anymore, but the new rules are such a travesty that I'm glad they won't stain the legacy of LMP1 with an absolute bopfest ruleset.
It's over for today.
just tear down the entire WEC/Le Mans rules and start over, """hyper"""cars aren't going to fix it
fuck FIA and fuck ACO
It will still be a bopfest ruleset, though...
At least, the cars look nice. For now...
based
the Super Taikyu Organization people know how to run a better 24 hour race than FIA and ACO lmao
>fuck FIA and fuck ACO
This.
damn
how can you call it a "prototype race car" when it's not even the fastest
why can't we just have a stable endurance sports car racing ruleset?
why does shit have to get totally wrecked every few years?
>fuck FIA
This
The FIA went to shit right after Max Mosely got pushed out by political assassination (pics/video of bdsm whipping sessions with prostitutes)
And replaced with JeanTodt , a guy who when asked 15-20 years ago (when still boss of the Ferrari F1 team) if he would like to be FIA president responded: Why would i want a job that i dont get paid for and have to be a referee for teams who never agree with each other.
Todt is a plant put in to purposely push people off motorsport and onto the likes of Formula E which is another one of their divisions which they have labelled: The Sound of the Future
Plus all the manufacturers are mindlessly heading over to it and supporting it which goes to show this is one big forced agenda, a forced agenda which has already failed and are committing corporate suicide for.
I'll never watch any car/bike racing with a battery as an "engine", i watched F1 for 21 years straight and just stopped after that hybrid shit came in and ruined it, and from what ive seen of the viewing figures of F1 not many other race are falling for it anymore too and the same will happen to WEC if they continue to push this shit
name a more based American road course.
>PROTIP: you can't
>The Sound of the Future
which is "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
fuck the future, fuck carbon taxes, fuck the environment, fuck all that champagne socialist shit, nothing will ever compare to the sound of an internal combustion engine roaring in anger and propelling a car to 200 miles per hour (or more)
anything on right now?
it would be spooky to watch/hear the Manx TT on electric bikes. electric engines are so quiet that you could hear bones break when dudes crash.
unfortunately no
Aussie Supercars in 8 hours though
thanks.
a bit late for me.
>nothing will ever compare to the sound of an internal combustion engine roaring in anger and propelling a car to 200 miles per hour (or more)
Was in the grandstand at Monza on the main start/finish straight at the 2001 F1 race, my ear drums have never recovered, i regret nothing
I wear ear plugs at races for this reason.
but even with ear plugs, the fucking sound of those engines.... watching on TV/internet doesn't do it justice. sitting in one of the turns after a long straightaway, hearing the backfire from the downshifts... fuck it's so awesome
Guess we should just kill P2 and DPi aswell since they are not the fastest.
Interesting.
at least DPi is run under a ruleset that is somewhat sustainable
how come markek can ride the bike without all these gay ergonomic mods?

how can Australians get away with this blatant false advertising? by all rights it should be called the Australian Touring Car Championship.
Reminder that Group C died because Bernie Shekelstone ordered his bitch, Max Mosley, to switch engine spec to 3.5L V12 (the same used in F1 at the time)
easy, road atlanta
nope

BERNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
sorry bud you're just wrong
sebring
Road Atlanta is run down and needs upgrades
nope
nope
digits say otherwise
you're both wrong, and haven't proven otherwise, deal with it
Hypercar could have been cool if they had a ruleset that didn't try to suck 12 different dicks at the same time
>p...please join our new series, we swear it won't be a bad investment this time
>Hypercar could have been cool
No. It could never have been "cool". The entire concept of starting a "hypercar" series is pants on head retarded when a race car IS a "hypercar".
It was cancer from the start and will be cancer till it dies the death it deserves for insulting the intelligence of motorsport enthusiasts the world over.

p-please join hypercar ferrari/ford/porsche/bmw

>but also reduce weight
wtf are they doing?
seems ridiculous to have a BoP after qualifying, what are they thinking?
also you forgot
>The Aston has also been hit with a two-litre reduction in fuel capacity as organisers aim to ensure all cars are capable of no more than 14-lap stints during green flag running.
based
They have done if for several year, why are you crying about it now.
if they are reducing turbo boost and reducing fuel capacity on the Aston Martin's, WHY are they also reducing weight on them at the same time?
does FIA/ACO not understand that lighter car=faster car? how are they this retarded?
Changing the way they do the lap times, trading acceleration/top speed for smaller braking distances, less tire wear, etc.
but why do the fuel capacity reduction and also decrease weight. lighter car also means more fuel efficient car?
its like FIA/ACO is doing BOP penalties to look fair, but then they give teams a loophole to negate those penalties anyway
fucking European rich guy backdoor deal bullshit
Just fuck off you seething retard, I have no idea why you come here to cry about everything from twitter to corporate sponsorship every single day
Fuel capacity reduction is just to make sure that everyone can run more or less the same amount of time in a single tank.
but if a car is lighter then it can still run more laps even if the fuel capacity has been decreased.
this whole thing just reeks of cronyism and backdoor deals done to appease rich guys while maintaining a facade or fair competition to the public.
Iowa puts on a good race for both Xfin and trucks. Trucks will be better.

Yeahhhhh, we have those kinda of cars, since if you have a racing car they put you on the grid, but at least we have metalmoro's ajr (thats they say its faster than a lmp2 car, but I dont believe it) and a ginetta lmp3 car, and a couple of gt3 and gt4 cars

Dumb ass boomers
>he punted her out of the groove a few laps back from that and she lost a bunch of positions
you mean on the restart or earlier? because on the restart degs didn't went too well (touched doors with the ford on the outside), the dude saw the inside open and just moved her to the outside line, barely "lost" a place
>was still able to drive back to his bumper and repay him
nah she just pointed to the quarter panel and straight up wreck him, and almost spun herself out in the process, "repay him" would have been something like logano at martinsville last year
man I didn't expect to see so much butt hurt over toyota here
Toyota is the bigger company in general so i would imagine they are also the bigger in Japan.
>Ty Gibbs screwing himself out of second
kek
Chandler Smith seems pretty good
Problem is, unless the Toyotas have major issues or crash, they're going to win the race.
they have no reason to even push or take risks
I don’t really follow the manufacturer whatnot for Le Mans, but is it worth watching this year at all or should I just find something better to do with my 24 hours?
GTE Pro is always lit and, unlike previous years, there is a less than zero chance that the privateers might tickle the Toyotas
Still almost zero mind you
*bigger than zero

here u go fellow poorfag

Thank you.
That was a family affair, seething cousins in a spat, nobody wanted to lose. Porsche started it by borging the BMW F1 team and then Audi thought it had to get Jorg Zander to compete.
They would keep spending that money, gladly, were it not for Dieselgate.
even Toyota spends roughly somewhere between $80-100mn per year. Obv. the privateer teams spend way, way less

Those fuckers aren't even doing a full 1/4 mile anymore either. Crazy fast.
Uh....wtf is going on?
11,000 hp BEASTS!
idk this sucks, really don't want to watch the replay at 8pm...
Seems safe....
Just read this on twitter
"The track and TV truck lost power. They are trying to get the uplink re-established now"
Here, hold my beer...
crazy thinking that had 1,000 horsepower.
Scary as fuck
ty user
I'm guessing they aren't even racing so we may not miss anything.
On delivery truck tires, no less.
Bristol's back.
So no ones gonna mention this dude's wardrobe?
We expect more from you Iraq.
How can a man be so based?
ehh, go out on one of them sand golf courses and see what people wear.
>murica
what do you want tho
Antron has been an amazing driver but fugg... could he parents make his name sound any more "black"
If I had a stupid name like "Antron" or "Jadyn", I wouldn't hesitate to change that trash.
Goddamn looks like someone that kicked everyone out of the house as soon as they turned 18
Could be worse, he's not Don Cherry tier yet.
I like to think that these guys get these ridiculous outfits as gifts and they dont want to disappoint anyone
Antron (Ancient Greek: Ἀντρών)[1][2] or Antrones (Ἀντρῶνες)[3] was a town and polis (city-state)[4] of ancient Thessaly in the district Achaea Phthiotis, at the entrance of the Maliac Gulf, and opposite Oreus in Euboea
>I dont think they are greek...
>in charge of not destroying your 11,000 hp engine
70 years old and still drag racing. And winning.
he did beat his wife several times so quite possibly a bad father.
>happy fathers day everyone!
I love john force, mainly because you can tell how much he loves his kids (and ex wife)
CHASTAIN FAILS INSPECTION
MOFFITT WINS
No more victory lane celebrations until after post race inspection.
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
just fucking fire him at the end of the season
how can a guy be that incompetent, FUCK
just retire already, you brainlet
source
harvick in charge of inspection now?
fuck
>"Fails" inspection
Somebody saw that botched uncontrolled tire call and bitched about it, hence, a "failed" inspection.
>Truck Series director Brad Moran: "Unfortunately the 44 was low on the front, extremely low. ... They do get an opportunity to roll around, put fuel in the vehicle, they air in tires, and we give them at least 5-10 minutes to roll back on and check a second time
Damn, cant find a pic of Sherry Langdons sweet ass handing over the side of the blower.
>We give you fucks 10 minutes to unfuck whatever you fucked and you still come back with this shit?
The fuck is the crew chief thinking.
1,200 hp consumed by the supercharger
>Cruz Pedregon
Bristol got there electricity turned back on
Anything on?
yes
They really are inefficient systems. All that wasted fuel, torgue, power that's not contributing to speed. Terrible.
sorry you feel that way user.
I enjoy it.
I want to give it a try, where to watch?
FS1
getting close to the end
I'm not saying I don't enjoy it, I'm just surprised they haven't improved the frames and shit. You look at how the oval cars offset everything to account for the turning, and I bet they could make some speed if they offset the wheels and steering to account for torque issues.
Maybe go with 3 front tires with aero for downforce, etc...
I can only imagine they build the cars per NHRA specs. I'm sure there would be a way to make them better and faster but the same goes with any motorsport. Its about rules.
Oh, okay, I can't watch fox anyway.
>build the cars per NHRA specs.
No doubt, but you can trace the development of dragsters, and nobody ever seemed to compensate for the torque, just the wheelspin.
well the torque is all about the clutch discs. They are now at 6 disc? I think not that long ago they were only using 4.
Turn left coming up at 5:30
Force playing games lol
cost him in that race
I totally agree.
Not a fan of the "stage" fuckery in NHRA. Rather see them get set, then go on the light.
SHIT
SALINAS PUT THE SMACK DOWN ON TORRENCE!
That was a good race.

wow what a camel toe

if i'm not wrong this is the final results of the kill list, the only thing to add is the destroyed hopes and dreams of the 7 car
One of our channels was saying that they are looking to bring back Portugal to MotoGP in 2022. They mentioned possibly swapping between both tracks.
>They mentioned possibly swapping between both tracks.
estoril and algarve? sounds good, wonder which spanish date would be replaced, all seem to do fine
>crash

They mentioned a possible increase in the number of rounds.

>>free paddock access with your ticket at Road America
Literally every sportscar race in the world will give you that. If you aren't much of a faggot to either ask for pictures and leave OR be a boring teenager acting like a fanboy near a pop singer, you'll get to talk to a lot of people from the inside of the sport. And if you see Hindhaugh and he doesn't look busy talking to big shots, have a talk to him, he's a very attentious guy.
s...shut up dad you're embarrassing me in front of my heroes
I don't want a picture or an autograph
I just want to chat for a bit and tell them good luck in the race
You'll get to do that AND get autographs from drivers and sometimes team owners on pitwalks. I don't think it's likely you'll see many drivers on the paddock because of focusing and harassment from fans but team owners and media members are always reachable. Just don't be a dick to bother them while they're working or looking busy, and don't come to them talking as if they know who you are.
Buy Marshall Pruett a box of donuts and he'll take you around and introduce you to people at the paddock
>team owners
I saw Sam Schmidt driving around in his power wheelchair last year but I think he was in a hurry to get to the bigwigs in the Arrow hospitality building so I didn't bother him
I saw Katie Hargitt riding on a golf cart last year
but I didn't see Marshall Pruett, Robin Miller, Leigh Diffey, Paul Tracy, or Townsend Bell
#99 should say KROHNED
kek
>making pruett even fatter
Why would you do that? He's closing the gap to that eventual heart attack.
>present box of donuts to MP
>ARE YOU SAYING IM FAT *throws them in my face and storms away*
>crying in front of thousands of people with a box of donuts laying on the ground
nah if I see him I'll say what's up but I think that gift could backfire

68 ferd DQ for fuel infringement
>“total on-board fuel volume [was] found to be in excess of the permitted limit".
>The maximum permitted volume per the Endurance Committee Decision for the car was 97 liters, and scrutineering revealed the #68 Ford’s tank to hold 97.83 liters.
motorsport.com
Damn
sportscar365.com
Number 85 lost the AM win because of the refueling time, dropped to second. Project 1 moved to P1. They can appeal the penalty.
dailysportscar.com
It gets worse they got DQ'd because of the same thing as the 68, fuel tank too big.
>when the wheelspin penalty and the front section change weren't enough to stop the best car
Refueling penalty.
dailysportscar.com
DQ.
dailysportscar.com
You break the rules, you get a penalty.
>torrented the supercars Darwin race
Waste of time. This season has been ass. Matter of fact, this entire racing season has been pretty subpar imo.
Soon I won't be the only one who gave up on the series, as it seems.
sportscar365.com
>Ben Keating says he will not appeal the FIA’s decision that has led to the disqualification of his GTE-Am class-winning Ford GT from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, having taken responsibility for not leaving enough “margin for error” in the fuel systems.
>exceeded the maximum fuel capacity by 0.1 liter and not meet the minimum refueling time by 0.6 seconds in post-race scrutineering on Monday.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That was awfully explained by sc365.
it's weird how the factory team and a pritvateer made the exact same mistake, the 68 was .83 over the limit
The car was prepped with help from CGR so it highly likely it was a mistake by the same people.
#ilikewinners
What I want to know is why cant they find these things before the race? Annoys me to end that I spend hours watching this shit to have the results flip flopped after the fact. Imo post race inspection is a meme. If you cant find it in the plenty of time scrutinizing before the race, dont penalize them simple as
who is the best race car driver in the world?
Didn't they get a bunch of penalties last year too?
There's still plenty of time between scrutineering and the end of the race to cheat.
pic related
A team can easily modify the car and do shady shit after they verified it, hence the need of parc ferme and post race scrutineering. It's shit when stuff like this happens but it's a necessary evil.
why not impound the cars?
>scrutineering
Not just some funny made up word people
It's a term with deep political connotations
Basically an admission of "We are refcar and fuck you"
During the race?
inspect the cars, impound, then race
So you can break as many rules as you want as long as it's during the race?
thats why they have officials to watch the pit stops
>Where the hell did all this lead shot come from?
FORD BTFO
Ferrari keeps on winning
They put 96.1 litres there and there was still room for more.
Keeping the thread alive.
have you recorded whole stream from onboard 36?
Not sure if this is his case but you can download the stream now.
How? It says it's unavailable.
Indeed, you can't; atleast on the means I know how to use.
LeMans Moto part 1 is missing on your channel.
Too bad those cars are dead
They live in our hearts (except the BMW, too big to fit).
Not yet both are still in IMSA for the rest of the season atleast. BMW should stay for the next one.
>one more year I'll have to go to Interlagos not wearing BMW Motorsport clothing
Blame BMW for not giving MTEK any time to try to run the car privately.
BMW quit because you fuckers trolled them so hard about being fat.
Never thought about this. It worked for Manthey, hasn't it?
He's not fat, he just has big bones.
recorded parts of it, i'll uploaded in a couple of days since right now aco and eurosport will be in the hunt of any le mans footage
got blocked in a few countries
youtu.be
Makes sense, weird they only blocked part 1 though.
part 1 has more views than 2 and 3 combined, that might be a reason
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. You trolled them so hard they heard about it at BMW and quit.
You people are animals. EVERY week you make this innocent, false flagging bong cry his little eyes out in the council home he undoubtedly lives in with his single mother, and now you've gone and made BMW so self conscious about their "big M8" that they're just going to quit.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Atleast they were nice enough not to take it down completely because as far as i know the full race isn't available anywhere else.
>recorded parts of it, i'll uploaded in a couple of days since right now aco and eurosport will be in the hunt of any le mans footage
I'm interested in a first like 8, when Negrao fights and overtakes Vergne do you have it? Also you can upload it now, but make it unlisted for awhile.
The M8 shouldn't even be a thing. Dumbass BMW already had a GTE, but still felt like they had to rush a new one through development.
only aco completely takes down videos, every other company just blocks them so at least i can upload them somewhere else
>24 Hours of Nürburgring this weekend
The whole point of the M8 was for them to be able to race at LeMans and the WEC because the M6 wasn't a full GTE, just a GT3 with a few extra bits.
is this one free of FIA fuckery?
>all these basedboys saying sauter should have his playoff berth taken
Lmao cry more
and those same basedboys applaud degs every time she moves someone
Those two situations are not the same.
>Multibillion company kills one of its Motosport Divisions because some autists on Yea Forums made OC edits of their big ass fat car
I want to believe
GET THE NEXT THREAD OP DONE
MAKE IT NUR 24 THEMED
Still dumb to call for extremely harsh punishments on one driver for something aggresive on track while praising another driver for dumping their teammate
Done, 500
...
One happened under racing conditions the other happened under caution.
And the one that happened under racing conditions is more dangerous if anything
Literally doesn't matter. The 488 is both GT3 and GTE, it can be done and done well, they're just dumb
