you dont like the impromptu rebranding to Daytona 23h58m?

apparently it was cause the race start got delayed by 2 minutes to 1:42 and IMSA didn't care they wanted to go home so they called it early

To borrow a joke from a Discord server, very funny that the race sponsored by the luxury watch company had timing issues :xd:

the Sick Week drag and drive event is going on right now in Florida, and a D modified(stock body shape) 2012 mustang with a twin turbo 302 coyote on radials is currently leading overall. Even over Jeff Lutz's 540ci pro mod.

On one hand it's cool to see WEC get a dedicated game, on the other hand it's from a lovely developer who's actively running out of money and lost their Indy at game license (a good thing imo) from not being able to meet contractual obligations. The game going from a December '24 to a Feb '24 and now a Feb early access release doesn't give me much confidence that it's going to be decent or feel like much more than dlc for rfactor2 which I'm pretty sure is what it's based on.

Fingers crossed though.

New alpine on the track, I don't like the design that much, it feels to me like it's too generic. Not awe inspiring as the spoiler less 9x8 or the cadillac.

Heads up that it looks like this is finally the year that IMSA uploads their races to YT in 1080p60. Daytona is up now. Years prior the uploads were all at 720p60p.

Also, does announce else like putting these long races on as background noise while working?

the Garage 56 NASCAR onboard is the best thing to fall asleep to imo. Drag racing is a close 2nd but its easy to fall into "oh ill just see who wins this next race...oh one more cant hurt...well a guy i like is up next so i gotta stay for that one..." ad infinitum

That might be the video that gives you the best impression just how fast top fuels are, holy poo poo. I’ve seen my fair share of TV broadcasts, but that is just another level. That thing explodes like a bullet out of a gun off the line, I guess the way NHRA is shot for TV rarely gives you that visual.

I used to put more racing on in the background when I was single, might have to do that while working at home more I suppose.

I prefer the behind both cars shots instead of from the side for the live and then sides for the replays if its a corker of a run. Shoutout to the fox camera guys. They're wearing tons of armor because of all the debris that gets kicked onto them at the starting line.

That's an absolute tire smoker of a run too. 303mph across the finish line is still bonkers to me.

OK I'm confused, does the Bathurst 12h start like now, or tomorrow? The schedules on the website make it seem like now, but none of the youtube channels are live.

Doesn't help that Radio Le Mans has what's basically a web 1.0 website.

EDIT:

ok this converts to your local time
https://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/events/2024-bathurst-12-hour/schedule

Starts tomorrow at 12:45 central time

If they shortened the gaping maw it’d probably look fine. There does seem to be less of a mix of different gt3 cars than there was pre Covid.

Edit: I would build a model of the bmw if they produced one but I’m still waiting for the Porsche 991 GT3 that they announced in 2019 that has never appeared in production.
