I will instantly defer to your more informed opinion than my own since I don't follow WEC except occasionally watch a few laps and maybe LeMans. I only suggested it because I thought WEC effectively had an even worse manufacturer domination problem than F1 and the idea of having some slightly more bush league teams running heavily modified road missiles tickles me even if its not really plausible.

Maybe the ACO should reconsider loving over IMSA's DPi class, which is just LMP2 + manufacturer aero + manufacturer engines, and is thriving.

I wasn't aware of that series but after a quick google search, that seems to be more or less what I was thinking about.

They should really scrap LMP1 and have some kind of modified LaFerrari/MclarenP1/Konigseiggsgge class... bring sports cars back to the front of sports car racing, like it was a recently as the 90s.

harperdc posted:New F1 rules introduced for this season mean new aerodynamic shitposts (with a more aggressive look), wider shitposts, no token system for how you can modify and update your shitposts, and expectations that shitposts will be faster than ever once the season starts. I'm kinda gutted that the 'color' bbcode tag is restricted to custom avatars only. Orange posting would get tiring pretty quick though.

When presented with a sweaty bogan shoe full of piss-water Lewis does what any sane, rational human being with a grain of self-esteem would do and says "get that out of my face you gurning simpleton", while Nico "I just want to be liked" Rosberg grabs it and chugs like it's the elixir of life.

I like skimming through the live-posting after the race. It feels like I'm some sort of prescient time-traveler; watching and laughing as folks' cautious optimism is dashed against the rocks. "wow, Ferrari have a good shot at a podium today" *scrolls down* "gently caress!" ... "Alonso up to 6th, maybe they'll make some points this race" *scrolls down* "OH NO!"
