minor quibble but can each instance of "under" be replaced with "below" ? It currently makes it sound like these other series are affiliated junior series of WEC.

quote:

Under the WEC are various regional series, the highest profile of which is IMSA in the United States. Its a US and Canadian-based series, but many teams and drivers will also compete at Le Mans on an annual basis. IMSA also has a number of high-profile races: endurance epics include the 24 Hours of Daytona in January, the Sebring 12 Hours in March, and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October, plus marquee shorter races at Long Beach, Road America, and more. Other regional series under the WEC include the European Le Mans Series, and Asian Le Mans Series, which both act as feeders to the World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans.


also this post got passed over in the old thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3879462&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=45#post501389584

Perhaps this got brought up in the Nascar or F1 threads but I missed it. A few months ago David Hobbs was on the Dale Jr. podcast and it is an amazing listen

I'm 5 years behind but I just started listening to Dinner with Racers. I'm sure many if not all of you have already listened to this but holy poo poo check out Episode 8 where engineer Jeff Braun details how Level 5 Motorsports owner/crazy man (and current prison inmate) Scott Tucker had them spend millions of dollars developing the fastest D Sports Racing car ever made. I won't spoil it.

As I make my way through the entirety of Dinner With Racers, there are constant oblique references to how they werent allowed to put up the John Dagys episode, has the reason ever leaked out?

Summit Motorsports Park owner Bill Bader Jr. vowed to start holding events with or without government permission, in a Facebook live post earlier this week.

"I'm not asking, I'm opening," he said in the video and said that he thought that business closures were an overreaction. "If in Huron County, for example, we are able to save every life and limit and ultimately mitigate any outbreaks of Covid-19, but in the process of that we all starve to death, what have we accomplished."

This obviously isnt on the same level as Kyle Larson but is arguably worse than what Bubba Wallace did so Audi (German car companies are known for their sense of humor) probably fires this idiot, right?

How's the Motortrend On Demand service for live races? Debating between subbing to that or getting the channel through Sling.

When I tried to watch Aussie V8s a few weeks ago I could only watch live stream on the website and not the roku app on my TV so I was pretty annoyed with it.

I was expecting some stupid bullshit like this but it's letting me watch just fine on the Roku app. The stream is like 30 seconds behind the stream on the Motor Trend android app on my tablet though.

Man RIP to the Corvette program. I missed it at the time but Dan Binks quit in may, then recently Pratt & Miller was bought by Oshkosh (?????????) And now Doug Fehan was forced out. Never mind they're going to end up running alone in GTE soon.
