its the Race Director's job to patiently explain to people that even if they did pay a lot of money, they're still not allowed to set themselves on fire

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:peugeot gonna abandon their plans to put a wing on the 9x8 I can’t remember which of the WEC commentary crew phrased it this way but suggesting the Peugeot is designed for smooth track, long straights and medium/high-speed cornering at Le Mans, and that’s what they have here…and it seems to also be more reliable. In theory. It would be very funny for the Peugeot to win this round.

I haven’t brought myself to watch the last hour, think I’ll try tonight. And yeah man even just the churning through first 5-6 hours was excellent, proper racing and strategy stuff. Very good endurance racing. Can’t wait for the 6-hour races and for IMSA’s sprints as well.

Let's be honest and say 17 Tbf, despite starting at the back, the Isotta was on the lead lap after a grand prix worth of time. It's not so far off and it's always easier to make something reliable than quick.... although no-one tell Peugeot that.

Gainesville opens the NHRA pro season(sportsman and whatnots have had divisionals already) this week. Headed down to the track today. Be sure to fire up the NHRA.tv app or check out our YouTube dispatches. Speaking of divisionals, Dennis Bailey decided to test his roll cage engineering https://youtu.be/LqByqsn2o5M?si=Whhb72EAhQNdCgzH

https://www.the-race.com/indycar/indycar-podcast-2024-preview-with-james-hinchcliffe-jamie-chadwick/ James Hinchcliffe and Jamie Chadwick headline this week’s episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast previewing the season opener at St Petersburg. He analyses the track, with special attention on Turns 3 and 14, and also talks about what winning at St Pete - his first IndyCar victory - meant for his career. Chadwick joins ahead of her second season in the Indy NXT feeder category with Andretti. A member of the Williams Formula 1 team's driver academy, Chadwick also discusses the areas of focus for her over the off-season, her goals for this year and beyond, and the new karting programme she has launched to try to get young girls into karting.

First wobble in the golden era, Caddy and Ganassi are splitting after this year although both claim they'll be racing in 2025. Reading between the lines Ganassi think Caddy are half-arsing it and tbh I agree, with still only 1 car in WEC and not even bothering to hire enough drivers for it.

It sounds like the car in IMSA will go to Action Express, and the rumor is a second WEC car is coming next year. United Autosport might become the team to run them. Ganassi most likely moving to running GTs for next year, but we’ll see. Also this weekend is Sebring

i can't even be excited for sebring cuz american raving broadcasts suck. if you aren't watching commercials you're looking at a panel of talking heads take up 2/3 of the screen. daytona was painful to watch. the wec race at qatar had uncharacteristically bad camerawork and was still a thousand times more watchable than daytona.

I thought it seemed like caddy pulled out from CGR and not the other way around, maybe started with two teams to spread the load of the new platform and then consolidated to a single team with two cars and AXR had a better job last season. Similar to Acura consolidating, I'm curious if that works have happened regardless of MSR cheating or what.

The number of ads already makes it unwatchable but at least ads make sense. If the race is green and you're not showing ads, you should be showing racing.

Basically imsa.tv is regular broadcast but with the imsa radio announcers. They have some guests and stuff but it's not some NASCAR driver spending a bunch of the race talking about their NASCAR career.

MazeOfTzeentch posted:How does one get that feed? I'm on the swiss indycar live feed and it just cuts comms entirely for the commercial breaks Sky Sports F1 is the UK channel and the race feed is completely uninterrupted and it's the same build up/post race as NBC (and presumably USA/Fox) just instead of cutting to ads a British commentator takes over. You can probably find streams on race day, but honestly getting a decent IPTV service is inexpensive and reduces the hassle of hooking up laptops/tablets to HDMI cables if you want to watch on TV.
