Anyone got word on the Lime Rock incident? In thought we were supposed to get an update on wednesday?
WEC testing going on too so expect to possibly hear news but get better pictures.
arca race was pretty good desu
BAN MOTOGP, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS

Anyone else think Formula E has gone down in quality? In the beginning it was exciting, but lately they've had so much elitist propaganda just trying so hard to pander to millenials and it's just hard to watch

It's going to be cleanairwinslol for them isn't it.
>>68081725
Yeah I don't care too much about the composite bodies but the racing was good.
>>68084208
>Gibbs Toyotas are fast
Did you expect anything different?
>>68082881
Why that one though, it looks worse than the windshield Ricciardo was testing
>>68084239
No, but it still sucks that Pocono got a nxs companion race and that it will be just as shit as the nxs race at Indy.

It was never really good to begin with, honestly. People were following it out of curiosity more than anything and now the novelty has finally worn off. Watching vacuum cleaners race around shitty street circuits at low speeds doesn't sound very appealing, even if the racing might be somewhat entertaining at times. As you pointed out, it's now trying to pander to a different audience. It wasn't a big hit among motorsports' fans due to a variety of reasons, so they are naturally trying to draw in people who didn't follow or straight up hated motor racing
>>68082356
Formula E was never good. F1 fags thought it was exciting because Hamilton was winning everything and they didn't watch any other motorsports so they werent used to passing.
>>68082356
Formula E was originally peddled by Leftists and hippies becaue "muh electric"
now, i'm not dissing electric cars in any way, have personally test driven a tesla before and co-worker owns one, and we carpool almost daily, the thing is a beast on the freeway...0-75mph in 14 seconds...it's insane
IMHO, if they got rid of the transmission and just went for direct-Drive it would be a lot more exciting to watch, but that's just me
Matty Brabs won trophy trucks at Belle Isle, wish I could have seen it.
And NAPA signed on with Rossi for Belle Isle. Think I saw an ad on the USA Today for Rossi and NAPA in the sports section above the urinal today.
>>68090909
More Matt. What scale is that?
>Jorge De La Torre has underwent surgery to repair several fractures following his severe accident with Andrew Palmer in last weekend’s Pirelli World Challenge event at Lime Rock Park. “Jorge sustained several fractures which were repaired in surgery on Tuesday at Hartford Hospital. “He currently remains in hospital where he has demonstrated strength and good spirits this week. Jorge plans to begin rehabilitation as soon as he is released.
>Further details on Palmer’s condition has not been released, other than he remains in hospital with a head injury.
I didn't realize Palmer had this many wins.

>PC wins at Daytona, Sebring, and Petit Le Mans
>BES Pro class win at Monza in the Huracan

Bump with an unpopular opinion. As one of the 3 tracks still independent from SMI and ISC, Pocono should never lose either of its dates

Eh, Pocono's a better track than Indy. I have some hope that it'll be like the Truck races there.
At least they didn't vulture it from a short track like IMS did to IRP.
>>68100444
IRP was losing the race with or without IMS being involved
>>68100444

It would've worked out pretty well for Xfinity wanting a race near Philly if Nazareth wasn't literally being reclaimed by the Earth.
>de lambo
>that refueler spaghetti
I'm glad they're keeping the coverage focused on GTD for now, it is way more interesting. Near the end I expect they'll go back to the P and we'll have to pretend how exciting it is to see a corvette win near the GM skyscraper

Indy would be better if it were either a night race or they did the road course, not that either will ever happen.

NO, don't mute. It's hard to hear her voice and not get angry, but it's funny how terrible she is at commentating, she just repeats what MW says. I've made it a drinking game, a shot for every, "um," that she says, I'm going to have to stop soon though, I'm getting wasted.

Hoping this fucking top 3 in GTD and Jordan Taylor/Joao dueling. Fucking Jeroen, Jörg, and Sandro should be a great finish.
Was it last year that it started to rain on part of the course but people kept slicks on? I seem to remember Barbosa spinning and choking and that Porsche/Aston crashing at T1 and someone railing the intervention vehicle.
does anyone have a stream for the IndyCar races @ detroit???
Viper wins

If you haven't seen it, Marshall Pruett had a great writeup of Rossi's 500 win. Quotes from Bryan Herta.
http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/130260-pruett-inside-rossi-s-wild-rise-to-indy-500-glory?showall=1&limitstart=
>Destined to run dry before the finish, Rossi got the call to try something crazy. Leaning out the fuel mixture is a common way to save fuel, which he did, but it wasn't enough. The one electronic option left was to use the fuel map designed to use little more than drops of fuel while running at reduced speeds behind the pace car. Take the tiny amount of fuel provided for puttering around at 75mph, then try holding position with it while racing well over 200mph, and you have Rossi's reality as the 500 sped toward its conclusion.
>"So...we were running our yellow map, which normally you only run around for yellow," Herta admitted. "Yeah, we were running our yellow map."
>"The last few laps, because we still weren't going to make it, I don't know...divine intervention...what put it in my head, but I started telling Alex, 'I want you to clutch the engine and coast down the straightaways,'" he added. "And he said, 'You want me to what?' I said, 'Trust me, drive the corners and then clutch and coast on the straight. Clutch and coast.'
onboard camera for Rossi when?
I wanna see what he's doing
>>68103249
A couple teams and drivers definitely lost sleep this week knowing they pitted on the same laps as rossi but pitted again with 5 to go

Just bumping to say I fucking hate Ryan Reed. Watching the DVR Xfinity race from earlier, his complete lack of talent managed to wreck Sieg and Clements
If you have hopes of watching the cup race tomorrow I would make plans for Monday. The forecast tomorrow is not looking good.
>>68119481
>A lap later, the sanctioning body red-flagged the race. During the stoppage, however, an ongoing feud between Reed and Ryan Sieg boiled over into a shoving match in the garage. Contact between their two cars had preceded Reed's accident with Clements.
>"You can't race around the kid," Sieg said of Reed, a Roush Fenway Racing driver. "He's got a lot of money, and he's got a Roush car, but he can't drive it. ... Money can't buy skill, obviously, with him.

NHRA is at New England this weekend.
After Matt Hagan ran 335.57 MPH at Kansas NHRA has already dropped the top end rev limiter on Funny Cars from 8500 to 8100 (same now as for the dragsters).

>Formula E
I could take it serious if it wasn't for that whole social media fanboost bullshit
>>68133846
I wasnt even refering to that stupid move at Spielberg, did you not see Molina pushing out Farfus?
Nevertheless, this race was once again a prime example of how boring the series is
>>68134550
He was trying to overtake, didn't get through with it and then crashed into him when Farfus went on the brake while he was going to switch to the outside.
He fucked up by crashing into him and got punished.
That's racing m8.
Negri crashed at Le Mans, session redflagged for extensive barrier repair. Waiting on news from the driver
>>68134054
It was originally a race scheduled in Russia but it looks like it was pulled at some point. I had the date marked down in my planning too.

don't get me started, it's so pathetic, E!SPN wants to appeal to the lowest common demonenator because NBCSN is kicking their ass (maybe because NBCSN doesn't show sports center 12 hours a day?) in the ratings, and ESPN knows it
give it time, and ESPN will eventually get an e-sports channel
FS1 a few weeks ago was showing (albeit clearly edited and tape delayed) the FIFA world electric cup, which was the top 12 players in the online ranking system playing aggainst each other, it was so fucking cringeworthy to watch

Well, presumably, IF that grass area was paved, the wall and the drainage would also have been updated from 1972-spec.
