orange juche posted:Yeah i saw the M8 on the banking next to a Lamborghini and it's so loving huge I just mentally went "BIG M8" We were in the paddock at sebring last year, M8 rolls by to go to tech and I heard some woman say "oh lawd he comin" Somehow it never gets old. Also enjoying the Corvette having a DRL burned out already, so it fits in with all if their street cars now.

12.5hrs in and the gap is .2 Endurance racing really is just a super long sprint race at this point. Jesus.

As cool as it is to be setting mileage and lap count records every single year now, I honestly miss the calamity and uncertainty of the past.

I dont know corner names well for Bathurst, but the 222 audi having his right rear explode in the same turn that has eaten numerous cars and somehow saving it was loving ridiculous

Peanut President posted:prototypes suck anyway so who cares, make GT the main category at le mans and let LMDH Hypercar Series run the week after or whatever Unironically this. Prototypes are neat, and people ooh and aah, but GT cars are the real show. My wife has never given a poo poo about racing, but will happily sit and watch GT cars for 12 hours while not giving a single gently caress about protos other than a "that sounds like rear end" when a Toyota went by. Wheel banging is better than lapping.

Spaced God posted:There should just be a "gently caress it" exhibition class a le mans for things like Project 400 and people who just wanna drop a CART engine into a 911 or bring back a 917k where you're not rewarded for race position but rather how much cool poo poo you can cram into the car and records you can break. Isnt that basically what the 24hrs at Nurburgring have become?

Bloopsy posted:Some friends and I have talked over the years about camping at a NASCAR event even though we have no interest in the sport at all. I'm going to try to get us to camp at Sebring next year, if the costs aren't too much. If you buy before thanksgiving it would be about 150 all in for a 4 day pass and parking (which is your campsite.) Making your own food is obviously cheaper but track food isnt bad or horribly priced. 24 packs of beer (tall boys) are 24 bucks.

Basticle posted: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. If you like stories like that, make sure you listen to Ryan Dalziel as well.

an oddly awful oud posted:Well this blows. What the gently caress am I going to do with myself with no racing. I’m sure as hell not getting a job. I wonder if I could use these fifty thousand rolls of toilet paper as Armco barriers and construct my own track I ended up ordering a new PC, wheels and pedals.

an oddly awful oud posted:IMSA just canceled Belle Isle which is pretty much expected. The lack of racing or automotive news in general right now is killing me. God help me I’m starting to get into horology which is arguably an even more stupid, expensive, and pointless hobby than cars And promptly scheduled eraces on the same day as the ones already set up by people involved in the sport that have massive fan engagement. gently caress imsa

orange juche posted:I'm a liberal and yeah I don't know what they're trying to appeal to. I like fast cars and hell I was going to road atlanta for races at age like 1. Maybe they're looking for liberals who hate cars. Capital L liberals, I think he means. You know, they buy a tesla (formerly prius) and then shame anyone who doesn't, or anyone who buys a different electric car.
