ELMS and DTM were good. Fuck no it's the worst of the big 24h race with all of it's stupid club tier rules. Bathurst 12h is the best IGTC race and will continue to be as long as the other races keep using the shitty rules SRO currently uses.

If you had a brain you could tell that Ward walked right infront of Tony’s car and could not be avoided. He was on drugs and should never have done what he did.
Do you really think multimillionaire Tony Stewart wants to mess up his easy life by killing some worthless hick kid? Pure delusion.
Daniel Collins
Seen more racing sure. Understand that Ed Jones wasn’t the next Senna? He didn’t. He thinks anyone under 25 is a racing legend denied their spot.
He makes more fuss over off track ‘drama’ (he gets no real info on the drama by the way just says retarded shit like ‘man, Ed Jones is so good m, where’s his seat on Ferrari?’) and inside baseball BS. He doesn’t give a single technical detail on Pagenauds car at Indy GP vs Dixon. He doesn’t even comment on driving technique or know why ‘dixie’ is so good. Just makes up a faggy nickname that’s not even shorter than Dixon
Alexander Anderson
He doesn’t think Ed Jones is the next Senna. He is just being charismatic and talking people up to create interest and excitement. He puts on his personality for the sake of putting on a good show.
Ryder Brown
Pfft he wrote stories every week after 2017 500 saying Jones was amazing and got screwed because Fernando Alonso got rookie of the year.
Of course Jones flopped on one of the best teams in the league
Here's hoping they don't fucking crash and have to run a completely different livery on race day

To build a car for 2020, I would say that is not realistic. >“We can have a manufacturer that can build a chassis. We have a manufacturer who can build the engine, we can have a manufacturer [that can do] both or we can have a manufacturer with interest to collaborate with ORECA and bring an engine. >“Everything is possible. I have all of these solutions in front of me and we are discussing with all of these brands to see what is the good benefit for us.” I hope they can partner with, it's definitely a team i think everyone would like to see win LeMans.

racer.com/2019/07/24/nascar-tweaks-tire-change-rules/ >NASCAR has made a pair of rule changes affecting tire handling during pit stops. >The first change, effective this weekend at Pocono Raceway, relates to “uncontrolled tires” during stops. Crew members will no longer required to be within an arm’s length when controlling tires. Tires will be considered uncontrolled and the related car subject to a penalty if they create a safety issue or interfere/impede another competitor’s pit stop. >The tires must still be returned from the outside half of the pit box in a controlled manner before the vehicle exits the pit box. This adjustment focuses enforcement on preventing a safety hazard rather than the subjective “arm’s length” criteria. >Meanwhile, starting at the following weekend’s race at Watkins Glen, when teams perform a four-tire stop, they will be required to change the outside tires first. If a team mistakenly changes the inside tires first and subsequently changes the outside tires during the same pit stop, they will be subject to a penalty. >The penalty for changing inside tires first during a four-tire stop will be a pass through under green-flag conditions and dropping to the tail end of the field for the restart under caution.

How do I into rally raid? I like the idea, but can't really conceive of paying attention to a 2 week race. Do you watch to certain points? Daily highlights? What's the best method of consumption?
Not sure how "creates a safety issue" is less subjective than "within an arm's length" but ok.

Landon Harris
i guess it's something like if the tyre is more than an arm length but not moving its ok, if a tyre is moving and a crew member has to catch it then it's an issue

One will probably crash at Eau rouge/Radillion. Daily highlights and live timing, live broadcasts are very limited because of the nature of the stages. You can also watch stuff from the teams and sponsors, theres usually some that upload videos. >Safety issues include but are not limited to tires rolling into the traffic lane of pit road. Tires may not be bounced or thrown at any time. Tires may be rolled from the outside half of the pit box to the pit wall, providing they do not create a safety issue or interfere/impede another competitor’s pit stop. Once tires are returned to the inside half of the pit box they may not roll back to the outside half of the pit box. Tires, servicing equipment and crew members may not interfere or impede with another team’s pit stop. Tires contacting a vehicle while being carried to the outside half of the pit box may be considered a no call. The penalty for an uncontrolled tire under green flag conditions will be a pass through, with the associated car starting at the tail end of the field under caution conditions.

>The North American round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli will move to Indianapolis Motor Speedway next year, replacing the California 8 Hours.
>An eight-hour race on the Indianapolis road course will be held on Oct. 3-4 as the fourth and penultimate round of the globe-trotting championship. It marks the first major sports car race at the track since the last time the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship visited in 2014.
>It comes after three editions of the California 8 Hours at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca with limited success.

It would be exceptionally dangerous. They imposed the limit because of Scott Kalitta overrunning the track and crashing into a JLG boom lift. If they're going that fast in 1000ft then it's fast enough.

He was right on pace so that wasn't a problem, they must have been afraid of him making a mistake because he wasn't 100% comfortable on top of the bike or something along those lines. Kiyonari was treated way worse.

>In its truest form, what’s coming to IndyCar and IMSA with a low-power single-source KERS unit is a token.

>On the surface, that could be viewed as a negative — something that might drive auto companies away from the table. But if we consider the big manufacturer response IMSA’s received while formulating its spec KERS plans, another truth is revealed: Most brands don’t care.
>Tick the hybrid box, keep the costs down with a modest system, and the phone will ring. That’s what IMSA has found, and what IndyCar is obviously hoping to create for itself.

It's only the first day and everyone is really close so everything can change, but i still believe. That's because of shitty automated systems, i remember ELMS Spa getting copyright claims from F1.
>I just care about the fast ones. So 15-20% of any given race field then?
Regardless, I enjoy the different classes simply because it forces drivers to actually drive and earn their win as they make their way through the slower cars in their class and the field. It's a lot harder for them to go on the "clean air wins" cruise control.
