I'm pretty sure NBC Sports is showing a half hour recap of each day's action like they did last year. Otherwise what have I been watching the last couple of nights?

Ya, I meant the full 1 hour ones. Honestly, you arent missing too much so far. Like 20min of each ep has been boring interviews.

jesus christ guys watch supercross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7CPCaIXqWM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imimA7Hehgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQEKRmPf5s8 The racing is consistently ridiculously good, because even when it looks like the race is academic, poo poo can happen, and does happen. Plus, it is easy to find all the races, motos (and semis!) and mains, on YouTube within hours, and you can likely find a livestream on Justin.tv. Having gone to my first SX last weekend I will say that, like a NASCAR race or an NFL game, the experience is overpriced though still a good one. Especially now that FS1 is carrying all the races live, there's really no reason to see one in person when you can just sit back and catch it on the

Last time I watched SX, the same guy won every race. It was like 2002 F1. Edit: I saw the first few rounds of '09 where it was Stewart / Read 1-2 for half the season. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jan 9, 2014 |

WindyMan posted:jesus christ guys watch supercross I was considering making a thread for the season in Cycle Asylum (that's where the other bike racing thread is), but if there's enough of a draw I can put it in SAS. Last season and this season should be good since the guys who should be running away with everything keep crashing.

Hey BTCC goons, is there anywhere on YouTube where you can find the condensed one hour telecasts of each round as used to air on Speed in the US? There are several hour-long videos of each individual race on there now, but what I'm looking for is sort of a highlight reel with commentary and all three races crammed into an hour.

Most of the races on youtube are padded heavily by interviews, the actual racing is much shorter. Sometimes the races don't start until 30-40 minutes into the video.

Interesting how this year I've taken to sharing the great/dangerous world races with my Facebook friends. My first post was on Dakar! And now people are dying already. I'm hoping that things will settle down by the time May and June get here.

Fact of the matter Dakar Rally is loving brutal and probably most deadly race next to Isle of Man stuff. Sadly I expect people to die since it's so loving brutal. Considering you're on a bike and you hit a rock you don't see and you go flying. It sucks and it's sad, but it's Dakar. What kind of safety can they do to make Dakar safer besides trying to be careful.

This accident was the craziest: http://www.topnews.in/sports/dakar-rally-quad-champ-drops-out-race-after-crash-242636 My dad's in the Dakar this year, and it's nerve-wracking since the auto-update on the site is kind of crap. The member of his team on the bike broke his arm and had to be airlifted out, and the car is having crazy mechanical issues. At least tomorrow is a rest day, so hopefully the mechanic's sort it out. I'm heading down to Chile on Tuesday with my younger son to watch him cross the finish line in Valparaiso. I'm so excited, fingers crossed that he makes it

I never end up paying much attention to the Dakar, but it must produce some of the most spectacular motorsport photos each year. More so since the most to South America. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2013/01/dakar_rally_2013.html http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2012/01/dakar_rally_2012.html http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/01/dakar_2011.html

This is a french fry truck, and they apparently actually make french fries for the competitors on the Dakar bivouac. ("We really love french fries!") Except, they realized—a bit too late—that maybe carrying all of those potatoes made their truck too heavy for the dunes. Oh, Dakar.

Does anybody know if there will be a (proper) webfeed of the 24h of Daytona? I only just found out radio lemans isn't going to be covering it so I'm in a mild panic about it..

Usually coverage switches overnight to a webcast, but I don't know if FS1 is going to do that this year, and I also don't know if that's available outside the US. Of course, we all usually hang out in synirc, #nascar for the Daytona 24h, I'm sure a solution will be available.

This will probably be blasphemous and eagles will probably fall dead out of the sky, but some shots are reminiscent of a 370Z or GT-R made race-ready, except smoothlier than the Super GT stuff. Looks baller IMO.

Got an idea for an LMP1 car? Give it to Perrin - http://sportscar365.com/wec/perrinn-launches-new-open-source-lmp1-concept/Sportscar365 posted:While a debut this year may be out of the question, Nicolas Perrin has laid out plans for his four-wheel drive LMP1 car to fight against top manufacturers in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2015. (En Français) A neat concept, but I doubt they'd use anything a fan makes. Also, predicting alot of "put a dildo on it lol" type poo poo. Though to be fair, the dildo shape seems to be working somewhat for DeltaWing.

Cygni posted:Here's an idea for a P1 car: don't make a P1 car. *unless you're a manufacturer I definitely agree though. Rebellion, Strakka, and Perrin could probably make a top notch LMP2 car. The thing about Perrin is that they seem to be under the impression that they can legitimately pose a challenge to the manufacturer teams. Rebellion and Strakka on the other hand know they can't, and instead go for the "privateer's championship".

VikingSkull posted:A neat idea would be to make P1 cars GT1 cars from the late 90's. I would support this, but only if the cars were produced on a large scale. Homologation rules in the past were kinda bullshit since the manufacturers would only make like 30 cars. I feel like that kills the whole point of homologation in the first place: to make a racecar out of a roadcar, not the other way around.

Didn't GT1 rules require like, one model, and enough cargo space to carry a briefcase (which Toyota got around by saying that you could put one in the fuel tank) (there was also the question of "evolution" models that sort of killed things- Everyone loves the Sierra RS500, but it absolutely murdered Group A by turning it into a spec Sierra cup) Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jan 13, 2014 |
