come by, pick and event and fun, rags are welcome as always
It's like God, Himself, wants him to have a shitty night.
Aaron Collins
Pretty good racing. Reminder that the arca race will be better than any nascar race this weekend.
Isaiah James
Trucks has a chance, but yeah, the race for 2nd was pretty good.
Elijah Gray
Aside from the yellows, the racing was great. Especially the last 18 laps with those 3 separate attacks those dudes were making. Classic shit right there.
Saturday >Euro Series Elite 1 at Most, 7:30 am ET >Euro Series Elite 2 at Most, 11 am ET >Pinty's at Autodrome Chaudiere, 5:30 ET >K&N Pro at Douglas County, 11 ET
Sunday >Euro Series Elite 2 at Most, 4:15 am ET >Euro Series Elite 1 at Most, 8:30 am ET
Plus lots of local racing from Stafford, Salina Highbanks, Berlin, South Boston, Langley, Myrtle Beach, Bowman Gray, Meridian, and Thompson.

sportscar365.com/sro/sro-to-promote-inaugural-fia-motorsport-games/ >Further details about the inaugural FIA Motorsport Games have emerged, with the SRO Motorsports Group set to promote the multi-disciplinary event later this year. >The concept was first publicised following the most recent FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting earlier this month, with confirmation that the first event will take place in Rome on Nov. 1-3. >It will coincide with the second edition of the FIA GT Nations Cup which takes place at Vallelunga, just outside the Italian capital. >Drivers from a variety of disciplines will take part in the Race of Nations, encompassing six different forms of motorsports: GTs, touring cars, Formula 4, drifting, karting slalom and digital motorsport. >Competitors will be awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in different contests, with results going towards an overall medal table that decides which ASN is awarded a trophy during the eventās closing ceremony. >The event will be repeated annually, with a different city hosting the opening and closing ceremonies each year. Basically the motorsport version of the olympic games. I like it, i just wish my country had some representation.
Could be interesting. I have my doubts, though, since FiA is involved.

We already knew they were negotiating with Richmond to possibly take its spot. Sucks but they cant fill the stands and drivers keep getting fucked up. They do need a new northeast race though with the glen gone and pocono looking like it has one foot in the grave. That race at pocono will power came from nowhere and won from a lap down is one of my favorites
Hudson Wright
go back to Watkins Glen, that race never should have left
Jaxson Jackson
i don't think many drivers will miss pocono, at least in joonya's podcast pagenaud mentioned it wouldn't be a big loss, i would love to see this package on a 2 mile oval
Noah Perry
Never liked pocono but 4 oval schedule is pathetic Indycar. They ought to just sell to Bernie Ecclesotne for his new F1 rival league.
Alexander Walker
Indy need a overseas race again.
Jonathan Parker
Supposedly they would replace with another oval at richmond. It would make the 500 the only superspeedway though
Ian Mitchell
Takuma suggested a japanese street race, which would be amazing. I believe it will take significant funds committed by a promoter or government before an international race happens again though
>international races are pretty much dead >mile and a halfs are pretty much dead >superspeedways are pretty much dead >short ovals are in life support >stuck with 2 races a belle isle isntead of using michigan miles is a fucking idiot, instead of paying musical chairs with the races they should just add more rounds if the category is so healthy as they say
why the hell waste the money to set up a street course when theres plenty of good Japanese permanent race tracks
Landon Young
nobody goes to ovals except Indy deal with it boomer
Easton Powell
To get people excited for it and show up? The whole point is theres not really a history of street races in japan, so doing something new would be cool. The tracks won't pay to host indy certainly so I'd think it was actually more likely a government wants a street race as a big event and economic draw, if that makes any sense. Just not sure indy at Suzuka or Fuji would have the same draw or wow factor. Outside of the 500 the street races are the biggest spectacle and draw. Fixing up the motegi speedway and running a japan 500 on the other hand would be amazing
Logan Price
how do you convince the Japanese government to completely shut down downtown Tokyo?
Henry Peterson
Doesnt have to be tokyo, japan has other cities user
It really does vary by region and from track to track in the end as to what it takes to be a super late or a late model or a super stock or whatever Was watching super stocks at Bowman earlier and they look and sound like what we call a late model out here
Super GT loses half of its fun being on Motorsport.tv. I never liked the Nismo commentators, but at least they were interesting, these guys are painful to listen to
Logan Collins
anyone watching blancpain gt world challenge? im cheering for david perel because he's got youtube channel where he plays GT sport and comments his own onboards. So far he's up 5 positions since the start.
Ryan Reyes
Any imsa stream? Preferably non-NBC feed
Lucas Scott
Fuck mike Harding for cucking us out of oward/herta battle this year
Isaac Johnson
I do >cheering for david perel because he's got youtube channel same Also wanted to see #13 dying, but apparently I'm out of luck.
Juan White
I wish I went to the Glen
Michael Johnson
Same. Went last year but am out of state this year
one mazda will burst into flames and the other will end up in the wall
Thomas Evans
Nah, they'll drive into each other well before that
Jackson Gonzalez
is Super Formula faster than IndyCar
Cameron Rodriguez
They should be. They used to be faster than F1 in the corners, not sure now.
Cameron Lopez
RAIN IN 5
Easton Scott
I hope the next-gen Indy car significantly ups the horsepower. Dario Franchitti's lap record of Road America (set in 2000 in CART, 1:39.866) hasn't beaten for 19+ years. for comparison, Colton Herta did a 1:42.992 during this year's qualifying.
GOTTA GO FAST(ER)!!!
Hunter Cooper
heavy BoP coming if mazda wins
Noah Young
>only 2 LMP2's why
Brody King
Everyone switched to dpi when they separated the prototype class
Jeremiah Cruz
so why even bother allowing LMP2's if only 2 cars show up to race
Wyatt Perez
The appeal of P2 in IMSA was that they could fight against the DPis for wins. They took that away so no one wants to race them. Apparently it's cheaper for a US team to do a full ELMS season in P2 than in IMSA.
Lincoln Martin
why is sports car racing so fucked up
Dylan Sanchez
How so?
Christopher Stewart
what was wrong with good 'ol LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2? now shits a huge mess
Thomas Gonzalez
GT1 had to die, too expensive, no interest. GTE is essentially just a evolution of GT2.
Brandon Lopez
will "Hypercars" be more like GT1, or more like LMP1?
>c-cmon guise...don't you want to fawn over bitches.....guise? Not faggots, user, we're just old enough to not be obsessed by bitches 24/7, like you beta pussies....meaning we're actually out of junior high school.

Elijah Hall
I'm not sure Mazda's new method of preventing engine fires is going to last very long
Nathan Nelson
I fucking hope so. It's been too long in the making. I had hopes for Speedsource and the diesel cars but it wasn't meant to be. Joest seems to have sorted them out this year, but luck has been terrible.
Hudson Cooper
can't believe they finally did it
Adam Foster
They actually fucking did it. Looks like AER is getting their shit together. On the other hand. >Porschewinslol Fuck this.

I doubt they'll ever release footage but i'd imagine it went somewhat like this, but ragdoll down the mountain without the car as a cage: youtube.com/watch?v=-hIsWx5qbQs
is not correct, the racing gods were not kind at all on the mountain today
Christopher Barnes
They were kind exactly because of the sacrifice.
Ian Cook
a-a-at least he didn't go into the wall this race
Camden Bennett
that's a fair point. Larson kept his shit together from green to checker for once
Nice, Pikes Peak is on my motorsport bucket list.
Jose Myers
>I doubt they'll ever release footage but i'd imagine it went somewhat like this, but ragdoll down the mountain without the car as a cage: >youtube.com/watch?v=-hIsWx5qbQs RIP
IndyCar made a huge mistake letting Pato O'Ward, Indy Lights champion slip away to F2 and Super Formula. you can kiss that Mexican IndyCar race goodbye, who's gonna show up with no Mexican IndyCar driver to root for?
Daniel Morales
theres not even a proper tv deal to watch him, do you think having him fighting to not finish last was going to be enough to have an indy race in mexico?
Sebastian Clark
I guarantee people would still show up to a race in Mexico. They don't need to be pandered to, there are enough people in either Mexico City of Monterey to get a nice crowd. The problem is more that they are scared of pissing off the big 3 owners who always whine about travel costs while spending millions on shocks.
Hunter Morgan
maybe IndyCar should not let piece of shit snake oil salesmen like Mike Harding run IndyCar teams. if it wasn't for that whole Harding fiasco, Pato would have had a ride in IndyCar. how can you call it the "Road to Indy" when the Indy Lights champion has no ride, but the second place guy has a ride that can win COTA, and qualify on pole at Road America?
Josiah Collins
desu we need another Canadian IndyCar race before a Mexican race. I'm thinking Circuit Gilles Villeneueve, Circuit Mont Tremblant, or a street race in Edmonton or Vancouver.
Charles Martinez
>Pato would have had a ride in IndyCar Andretti offered him a partial schedule and he turned it down, where else would he have gone?
>wins in an ugly maroon paint job, with a flapping engine cover, and no sponsors besides the manufacturer
William Hernandez
>As for the 2020 schedule, IndyCarās boss is hopeful itās going to be finalized in the next few weeks, and the speculation is that Richmondās racy short oval stands a good chance of returning after an 11-year absence. >But RACER.com has learned that doesnāt necessarily mean Pocono is going away, so stay turned. interesting
It makes me sad reading about all the dudes that gave it their all while racing. It's a tragedy, but a celebration of human spirit all at the same time.
Just watched Sunday's Chicagoland race (had it DVR'd) and holy FUCK I'm sad I didn't watch that real-time with you guys
>Gimmie actually fucking racing >Literally every HMS car in the top 5 at one point >Kyle Busch's car literally giving up and trying to kill him through carbon monoxide poisoning during the last 10 laps >>>Gimmie actually fucking racing >That CHAD AS FUCK Bowman dump on Larson on the final lap to seal the win. >>>>>>Gimmie *actually* fucking racing
10 out of fucking 10 race. Nice to see the HMS cars still have the spark. Lord knows Chicagoland was the shot in the arm they desperately needed. Hoping they keep the momentum going and get Gimmie a win at Daytona next week.

Nah, the Indy corruption is confined to one nation/continent, while F1/FIA is world wide.
Nicholas Cook
well yeah indy is more of a personal level problem while f1 has always been brits/italians/french/germans seething at each other, still should be easier to solve
>notoriously aggressive driver >chip on his shoulder to prove himself >driving a backmarker car >on a street course AKA a concrete maze
this won't end well, just wait until he goes full retard and refuses to move out of the way when one of the Penskes is about to lap him
Ethan Powell
at least it's not pocono
Carson Smith
Well, I believe Carlin will have an open car for pocono so let's not count our chickens yet
William Collins
RIP everybody if that happens
Luis Perez
Carlin is running Sage Karam and Conor Daly at Iowa speedway. and since Charlie Kimball is in for Pocono, it's gonna be a fight between Sage and Conor for the other spot.
Monthly reminder that Natalie Decker nudes/lewdz exist and have been circulating a fair bit.
TRD will sue the fuck out of anyone who posts them into oblivion so it's pretty much a stand-off as to who can cover their asses from a legal standpoint before uploading. But I think it's safe to say that if the iRacing crowd has them and are sharing them behind the scenes, there is much more where that came from.
The pics are all consensual. She's in some shitty hotel room on the road and someone else is working the camera.
It is possible that this has blown up behind the scenes and is part of a bigger issue, hence why she's been running like shit, the team doesn't seem to properly prepare her equipment, and the broadcast crew just rips on her. My own personal hypothesis is that she's a known homewrecker/roastie in the garage and people just want her gone. This is really not uncommon in racing which is why there hasn't been more of a stink made about it. Women sleeping around for rides goes back to the Shirley Muldowney days.
I'm obviously not gonna upload anything on Yea Forums because getting sued by a major racing team just to prove myself right to the ~70 posters in motorsport general is kind of pointless, but I'm sure they'll get out eventually. You'll know it when you see it. I don't care for blondes so they did nothing for me but I'm sure someone will enjoy them.

Goddammit, it triggers my autism immensely whenever NBC shows Justin Haley getting his win taken away.
He fucking won, fuck NASCAR's shitty rules.
Connor Watson
Bud if going below the double yellow was allowed he wouldnt have won because other drivers would do it too. He got that position because he broke a rule intended to stop drivers from getting too aggressive and wrecking everyone. Maybe he should know the rules
Julian Hernandez
>if you advance your position by crossing under the yellow line >doesn't cross until he's in the lead It was a short time and he was barely in the lead, but he did it fair as the rules word it.
Nolan Baker
If he didn't go below the line he still would have won. The inside lane was open and he had the momentum. Haley's an idiot, but so are you.
Henry Powell

been playing Gran Turismo lads. and it made me curious. if you took the current Toyota WEC car and put it up against the Toyota 88C-V Group C car, with the same driver, on time trial around Circuit de la Sarthe, how would the lap times compare?
Probably the Toyota TS050. Has more downforce and the electric power + 4wd allows it to boost out of corners.
Brandon Myers
P.S. I realize we can't have a direct lap time comparison because the old Toyota ran on the pre-chicane version of the circuit
Jeremiah Peterson
Just look at the quali times on a track like spa or LeMans between today's cars and the cars that ran them back then and you'll get fairly close.
The tire is the limiting factor in all racing, and the tech has advanced over the years along with car development, so the improvements in racing are a result of a variety of factors.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
so could we theoretically get up to the ridiculous amounts of horsepower of the Group C (for circuits) or Group B (for rally) eras with modern technology to improve the car's handling and safety to make the thing driveable?
why do I feel like racing series are slacking on getting the cars up to the level of the monster cars of the 80's and early 90's?
John Russell
even for IndyCars, the lap record for Road America hasn't been broken since Dario Franchitti in CART in 2000. we have all this technology now. WE NEED TO GO FASTER
Sebastian Cooper
>could we theoretically get up to the ridiculous amounts of horsepower We're already there. I think the motorsport world has simply concluded that the 200mph mark is about the limit to what can be raced safely on today's tracks, as speeds greater than that tend to prove catastrophic for driver and spectator alike.
Rather than raw power, I'd like to see reliability be a factor again and make the teams build parts that have to last multiple races. I think we're at the point where that's possible without reducing speeds too much.
Asher Gonzalez
>WE NEED TO GO FASTER Need new tracks to support the speed bro.
>reliability how can that be a factor without doing a 2 or 3 day race? top endurance cars can handle a 24 hour race with a very good likelihood of finishing (if the pit crew stays on top of their shit)
Yeah, LMP1 cars are limited in their fuel flow rate to 81kg/hr which is a max HP of ~1100 hp if we assume 100% thermal efficiency. The TS050's engine puts out reported ~500 hp which is ~37% efficiency. The F1 V6 Turbos reportedly have ~45% to nearly 50% thermal efficiency
If the FIA didn't mandate fuel flow limits the power of the modern engines would be massive with the huge thermal efficiencies they have, then add on top the batteries have also got restrictions.
Jaxon Garcia
Unreliability isn't coming back unless we force teams to build engines using manual milling and turning. Modern manufacturing techniques are just too good nowadays that cars can drive pretty much flat out in 24hr races with a very good chance of not suffering a mechanical failure.
Nathan Flores
>F1 is the "pinnacle of motor racing" >all these restrictions
Robert Turner
>how can that be a factor without doing a 2 or 3 day race? Using the same engine, tranny, gear box for multiple races. Maybe give them extra points for it and penalty points for not meeting min number of races. Pretty much. Indy was built in 1909, at a time when cars were running under 100mph? If they want faster speeds they'll need to build runoff areas to bleed speed before slaming into safer barrier.
Too expensive, though. Easier to just slow them down.
Dominic Lee
>I'd like to see reliability be a factor again time to unban rotary engines
>using the same engine, tranny, gear box for multiple races
but that doesn't have the same drama as a car's equipment suddenly failing at the final hour of one race. >make 24 hour race ok >not allowed to change the parts for next race >car just dies on the starting grid next race that's no fun
>FUCK F1 AND FUCK INDYCAR ftfy. Come back when your āāāāāāāracingāāāāāāā allows for actual hard racing without being a penalty
Henry Richardson
absolutely SEETHING come back when your """racing""" doesn't have artificial breaks AKA Stages AKA fake cautions made official
>same drama These double' all over this thread.....anyway, my intent on using the same kit for multilple races is to try and drive costs down, quality of parts and competition up.
I'm just not much into drama, user.
Aaron Thompson
Stages have worked out very well, user. I agree about the fucky cautions, though, as they do need to go right in the dumpster.
P1 has a limit to the number of engines they can use in a season, not sure about the other classes. They usually just save an engine for LeMans.
Matthew Rogers
I think even F1 put a limit on engines due to fuckers building a single engine just to qualify...which is madness.
I think it's a smart move and good for racing.
Brayden Reyes
oh god its worse than I thought why don't you just run the entire race under yellow Dale Sr. is rolling in his grave at the state of Nascar
Brayden Bell
F1 needs to decide if its the actual "the pinnacle of motor racing" or if its a series for rich guys to pretend they are at the pinnacle but not actually spend all their money. CAN'T HAVE BOTH
Sebastian Gonzalez
the pinnacle would be building a new car for every race. psh what, do you want to be like those *ugh* Americans with their IndyCar and their cost-controlling measures?
Jason Miller
Relax...breathe. You're not making sense, user.
Christopher Flores
They decided that during the 90's, I beleive, and it's for rich guys and politicians to extort tax money from 3rd world nations for the "privelege" of hosting a race.
Julian Williams
>the pinnacle would be building a new car... ....without a cockpit for a driver, as they're just slowing things down at this point.
But who wants to watch drone racing?
James Hughes
no the 90s was -kinda- rich guys racing their Ferrari F40's and McLaren F1's and then -obscenely- rich guys coming in and ruining everything
source: BPR Global GT series, ruined by FIA
Eli Rivera
top NASCAR teams have like a dozen chassis in the shop, and tune one for each track makes F1 teams look like amateurs
Ian Robinson
the people who watch Formula E would hey why even have human fans at this point lets have robots watching robots
Carter Thomas
>people who watch Formula E would They still have drivers, though.
Justin Martinez
for now
Mason Wright
bread is based moving byron out the way hendrick fans seething
Hudson Ortiz
still significantly cheaper to run a cup car than an f1 car
Leo Martinez
This weekend's schedule:
>Moto GP at Sachsenring >Cup and Xfinity at Daytona >IMSA at CTMP (Mosport) >Supercars at Townsville >WRC at Holjes Motorstadion >WSBK at Donington Park >DTM at Norisring >WTCR at Vila Real >Asian GT at Fuji >Ferrari Challenge at Motegi >W Series at Norisring
Dylan Stewart
so how can F1 call themselves pinnacle hardcore racing when they don't have a dozen chassis sitting in a warehouse in England yea it's cheaper but how does Mercedes not have a car for every track?
Angel Nelson
>IMSA at Mosport BASED gonna need a stream for this if you please lads
Cooper Gutierrez
i'm certain they have additional chassis, they aren't allowed to have spare cars ready to go by the regulations though
Daniel Peterson
what is a "car" though? if you take the wheels and brakes etc off the chassis is it not a car then?
Carter Brooks
No comparison, user, due to the difference in material and production costs.
Hudson Wright
probably can't have engines or gearboxes idk
Dominic Nelson
>call themselves pinnacle hardcore racing They're not. They're the pinnacle of egnineering an open cockpit car, but they sure as hell don't "race" them as that would imply competition.
No, obscenely rich guys were in BPR to begin with. May I remind you the McLaren F1 has always been fucking expensive even by supercar standards, it cost 819k in 1994 dollars, thats 1.4M in today's money.
And it was basically the 1994 equivalent of a bunch of rich arabs putting a rollcage on their Bugattis and going racing. They just let the factory know in case they were interested, because they were going to race the F1 anyway.
Naturally the only thing that can shit on that kind of money is a billion dollar company or two.
Juan Fisher
so the reason sports car racing keeps getting fucked up is rich guys trying to out-rich other rich guys, like it's a competition of who has the most magnificent yacht in the harbor of Monte Carlo basically
>listening to Rossi being interviewed for almost an hour on radio >hosts keep talking about apehoop
Lincoln Gonzalez
and then one rich guy ups the ante so far that the other rich guys drop out of the series, and then the series dies as the rich guys go off to find another toy to play with
>drag racing my fatass coworker brags about his drag car maybe if he fuckin lost about 200 lbs he could shave a second off his time WEIGHT REDUCTION
Jaxon Sullivan
imagine buying cheater slicks to make your car faster when you weigh over 300 pounds
Jaxson Bell
Drag racing is ripe for the "youth movement" to hit as chicks and 70 year old John Force are what's considered "competition". Give me some 20 year old male volunteers, training, and a season or two, and they'll smoke the shit out of the field every time their engines don't blow.
Hudson Davis
maybe if they aren't 350 lbs
Oliver Johnson
desu why even have a driver in a drag car? if it's just a roll of the dice whether it wins or explodes... it's basically a high explosive missile dragging along the asphalt on a piece of rubber
Chase Moore
>why even have a driver in a drag car? That's where the competition comes into play. Who has the fastest reflexes off the line, and who has the better throttle control to achieve more A then wheel spin.
Drag racing really is the best tech / driver series in all of motorsport imo.
Evan Campbell
Then there's also the staging fuckery that takes place, which is totally human dependent.
Hudson Rivera
>Keselowski intentionally wrecks Byron at Practice today >Byron forced to use shitty back-up car, effectively killing any chance of Byron being with a competitive car Saturday >No punishment at all on Brad's side
What the fuck is wrong with NASCAR?
Lincoln Evans
>shitty back-up car nowadays (at least for the top teams) the backup car is as good as the main one
Wyatt Cruz
? You realize back ups are exact clones of the cars they're using in the first place right? There's nothing different between the two.
Nathan Reyes
motogp fp1 is on then moto2 then moto e
Lincoln White
>>Keselowski intentionally wrecks Byron No, he didn't lift. There's a difference.
If Brad lifts, then HE gets hit in the ass and wrecks. He's decided not to do that this race.
Christian Cox
Hicky is also good on short circuits and knows Donington well, but I doubt he'll do better than top 6.
