Cubey posted:I'd rather see WEC go to like Road Atlanta or VIR or a track that's actually legitimately good. The Indy road course is still a step up from COTA though so whatever. This is a good opinion. I'd like to recommend Road America in addition.

Goetta posted:I heard a few times that the Porsche is harder on tires than the other cars. Wonder if that will be the big difference over the race if the cars are all roughly similar in performance over the 24 as they have been so far. I'm genuinely surprised the Toyota's are hanging with Porsche and Audi this year

julian assflange posted:Why? It's a brand new car and has been probably the fastest for sheer pace all season Because, as Goetta noted, they have been pretty face off pace in the past. drgitlin posted:Why? Have you not been watching the WEC this year? Unfortunately no, not as consistently as I did last year

What actually went wrong with the Porsche 919 they pulled into the garage and basically completely disassembled? I had to run out for dinner and missed the rest.

Goetta posted:Has there been any stated reason why they have the scheduling overlap outside of pure F1 ego? I seriously doubt this is literally the only weekend a dictatorship could close its streets for instance. No, IIRC it was literally Bernie's ego and not wanting his drivers to run in LeMans and bring attention to another series.

kill me now posted:As long as the WEC streams this race I'm never going to deal with the Fox channel dance and commercials every 10 minutes again. Same here. I think that $15 I spent on the WEC streaming package for the 2016 race was 1,000,000% worth it and the best $15 I've spent in a LONG time. It's honestly got me highly considering the season package.
