that race was only a mere few months after i bought an mr2 so i was all pumped up supporting the dudes what made my car.

it was simultaneously the worst thing ever but also a great example of why endurance racing owns. i also felt real bad for nakajima who drove the race of his life while his ostensibly more talented teammate kobayashi borke the other toyota driving like a doofus.

What's up fellow MR2 guy. It should be said KazNak has got the better of him in Super Formula.

During the WEC prologue Toyota was on top. The ByKolles car did 4 laps total before a rear wing failure ended their test because they lacked spare parts.

Yeah but isn't the appeal of GT that they at least sort of look like road cars? I think you kinda lose that when "GT" cars end up looking like this.


It technically is a road car.

The most bullshit/badass move ever was Dauer building a road going version of the 962 so they could still keep racing at LeMans with it.

Of course they would. They're already considering pulling out of WEC early to go to Formula E. They were already heading there, but now they're considering cutting their WEC commitment short to jump to Formula E. Basically if another marque doesnt join LMP1 after the 2017 season ends, there's a non-zero chance of repeating 1993 again, because Porsche is considering exiting as early as the 2018 season.

I mean, who the gently caress is there to race against? They're racing against Toyota (lol), and themselves.

They're getting clobbered by Toyota this year.

Tilke gets blamed a lot, but yeah the FIA are actually the ones responsible for crappy track designs, or mutilating old ones. His original designs, like Sepang and Turkey, are pretty good.

The real reason the track is loathed by """"some"""" posters has nothing to do with Tilke, and everything to do with the track's major event.

The Dauer 962 is a very rare example of a car initially designed for racing being turned into a road car.
