Feels Villeneuve posted:at least people aren't pretending rallycross will be the next big thing anymore Rallycross is super entertaining to watch live. Multiple races, so no big deal if one is a snoozer. The cars are always in view, you don't miss a pass at turn 1 because you're at turn 11 or whatever, and jumps and drifting are cool. But it was never gonna be huge, and GRC went bankrupt lmao. That said, huge != good. WRC is the best motorsport there is. Although, WRC is probably fairly popular if you added all the countries up? IDK how it compares with f1...

Rallying is only fun actually doing it, it’s boring as poo poo otherwise. Same with Golf.

I can tell you at least in the US, WRC and rally are no where near the popularity of F1, which itself is pretty niche. I don't even think it's televised here anymore now that Speed channel died. Hell, I'm a racing fan myself and couldn't name a single driver currently in the series.

Start with "Sebastien" and then say something french and you're probably right. Or name any one of the dudesons and swap the vowels around

I really enjoy WRC and their content presentation with their streaming service. It's the best in motorsport outside Moto GP. Wish we could get complete feeds for every driver on like the longest stage or something. I've watched every stage of every single rally this year it's a lot of fun following along.

WRC was better when they let shitheel amateurs in, driving in shoestring teams and they'd die every week. Much the same as F1. RIP F1's greatest perished hero, Roland Ratzenberger. The epitome of the Formula One fighting spirit.

Am I the only one who would love to watch a one of F1 endurance race? I know it will never be feasible for many reasons, but I still would love to see a 6-12 or even 24 hour race with driver swaps etc.

Apparently work started today on the Hanoi F1 track in Vietnam. Expected to be finished by March next year, ready to race in April. Predictions on how this first race is going to unfold? Track falls apart before Qualifying even takes place? Edit: The description gives me so much hope for the race being exciting etc.... The circuit is described as a "unique hybrid layout" with "a real desire to steer away from humdrum 90-degree road-junction type corners and foster a layout that facilitates wheel-to-wheel racing while retaining a closed-in street feel that makes city race tracks so demanding for drivers". A layout of the Hermann Tilke-designed track was published by Formula One, which said the opening corners are based on Turns 1 and 2 at the Nurburgring while other sections take inspiration from Monaco, Suzuka and Malaysia's Sepang circuit. There is also a 1.5km straight, which will see cars top out at 335km/h (208 mph) before a heavy braking zone. Also.... wtf is going on with the forums....

I'm confused as to why F1 would want to race in a place like Vietnam which is not a Petrochemical Tyranny. How much money can the locals have to pay Big Race for the privilege of hosting a fraudulent sprint with no passing?

Feels Villeneuve posted:I think rallycross is one of those sports which is only good as a club sport. It's not rallycross if all the cars are factory sponsored and have glitzy Monster Energy paint jobs, they should be racing beat-to-poo poo 20-year-old family coupes.

Tilke has designed good tracks, but the lovely ones have often been because of silly requirements like 'have the longest straight' or 'make it in this featureless desert' Tldr I miss Sepang

While the Vietnam national anthem plays,demon Nixon returns from the underworld to drop the big one on the city. Also, bottas sets a decent time in quali.

I know it's a well-known even but this is a great bit of nostalgia, and you get to feel it all build up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLI6fOG3WdI I do miss James Hunt. Such a knack at observation.
