The Pinnacle of North American Racing Surfaces
Rebellion will surely beat them this time
Is practice streamed anywhere?
>>74707657
http://imsatv.imsa.com/
There's always radio but not always a broadcast for every practice session. Quali is streamed.
Will the Ford GT's continue their strong performance...well, at least having ONE strong car, and will they look like contenders to win LeMans again this year?
Will Cooper MacNeil crash his Merc AMG halfway through the race again like he did in Daytona?
Saturday is going to be a good day.
Who /ragsinabox/ here?
>>74709038
early contender for OC of the year
Important note about Xfinity race at Phoenix this weekend. It's a Dash 4 Cash race so all cup drivers are banned from competing
So basically. It's not going to be Shitty
>>74709589
>all cup drivers are banned from competing
So why isn't this in every Xfinity race yet?
>>74709621
Cup driver$ race in the xfinity $erie$ becau$e NA$CAR want$ tho$e $pon$or and ad $hekel$.
>>74709589
Except for, you know, both Dillons, Blaney, Suarez and Jones
>>74709952
those arent cup drivers
they are scrubs
>>74709621
muh "no one would show up to the race if they didn't get to see Kyle Busch or other NASCAR stars race"
Imsa TV stream is live lads.
>>74711198
Never mind, there was a Ferrari on stream for a few seconds but it's back to the splash screen now.
>WTR's No. 10 Cadillac DPi-V.R (1m49.888s) led the No. 5 Action Express Racing Cadillac (-0.215s) and the No. 31 AXR DPi-V.R (-0.482s). Rebellion Racing was fourth overall and first among the WEC-spec LMP2s (-0.714s)
I wouldn't be surprised if they're -still- sandbagging even.
Las Vegas ratings are down again. Don't know how much longer the tv people can stand this considering they created segment racing.
buh buh muh fight won't even draw any new views
>>74714199
Yeah TV audiences can't handle anything even slightly confusing.
>>74707443
Is this Sebring? Why can't those rich fucks in Florida pave the track?
>>74709952
Blaney can win. Screw those other guys.
>>74716656
>Why can't those rich fucks in Florida pave the track?
The motorsport world and manufacturers would riot. It's a shakedown track and great venue.
>>74716656
Being a shitty, suspension destroying, weld breaking, ass numbing race track is what makes Sebring Sebring.
Never seen a race at Sebring. Are the races streamed on the website linked above?
Bumpy race track sounds fun.
>>74717018
You're American, so no.
Either hope someone streams that stream, watch some shitty FS1 stream when it's actually on TV, or watch it on FSGo or FS1 yourself
>>74707420
>only four PEE SEA cars
Only 6-8 cautions guaranteed then
>>74717165
Considering the track condition and the lack of traction control on the PCs you might get some more anyway.
>>74717018
IMSA web site might have some streams from the cars, which are nice.
>>74717214
The conditions arent really any different than normal. All classes have traction control, only GTD has ABS.
At least no Krohn or John Poo but still Pooper MacNeil and the Lexuses.
>>74717889
Aren't AWD systems banned for all but the top classes (DPi/LMP1) in IMSA/ACO? The rules change so often it's hard to keep track.
>>74724114
Only LMP1H has 4WD. DPi is an LMP2 car with an engine swap and a body kit, and only as fast as an LMP2 car because the engines don't have to last as long.
reminder that this is the real winner of Daytona
lmao
I think the only people that would hate a repave are trackforum
24 bongs to sebring start?
>>74726757
Yes. If you can catch it, the Continental Tire Challenge 2 hour race later today is usually some very good racing.
>tune into the Mazda Prototype Challenge race
>Last 20 minutes all under caution
PEE SEA
Why aren't slow zones a thing in american motorsport? Full course cautions every time someone goes even remotely off the track are fucking awful.
>>74727944
Not sure either. We would appreciate something like a code 60 (mph) but
>muh adrenaline-filled restarts
and they couldn't get as close of races at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta.
Some of the tracks aren't built to get safety vehicles there as efficiently without the use of a FCY.
>>74728013
Yeah I kinda get that. I understand the FCY's for bigger incidents and stuff but sometimes it just feels unnecessary.
Is anyone else watching the Borscht cup race? the stream is really weird for me for whatever reason, it keeps jumping around 10 seconds back every now and then.
>>74728114
it's working fine here but LMAO that broken wing on the borscht and trying to take that full speed
>>74728114
Yeah it's fucked for me too

>Rebellion
YES

>>74729923
Nah, that nigger can drive....
>>74729875
I guess that the team wants to get Pooper's minimum driving time out of the way as soon as possible so they don't have to put him in the car later
>>74729956

Evening qualifying is the dumbest shit
This qualifying format is boring in nascar. All the drivers wait until the end of the session. The first half is just cringeworthy commentary from DW.
DW is extra carefree tonight. I like how negatively Gordon responds to some of the things DW says. He's always subtly keeping Darrell in line.
>>74734218
>DW is extra carefree tonight
>they need a leprechaun hotdog
>>74734218
let them change tires during qualifying and problem solved
Kyle Busch is such a fag
>>74734386
That's an actual thing that PIR is serving on their concessions menu.
>>74734482
Real shit, does Kyle need to go on pills like his brother is?
>>74734516
Honestly Kyle probably has actual diagnose-able psychological issues. Kurt is just an angry fucker, Kyle is an arrogant whiny pissbaby who needs to run in lower series to boost his ego.
>Logano wins pole
>>74734586
Kurt's manic-depressive. I'm pretty sure some longform said he's been on antidepressants at least once.
>>74734586
>who needs to run in lower series to boost his ego.
Nigger scored 2 victories in his first full time season, and hasn't gone a season without at least one victory. He's currently over 50% for top 10 finishes in cup races, and over 70% in Xfinity races. He's only 32 years old, and already has 38 victories in cup, and probably has at least another 10 years of racing left, if he's lucky.
I don't think his ego is an issue at all, because the dude can drive like a beast, even though he does act like a douche from time to time.
>>74724114
>>74724309
The GT3 class (LM GTE in IMSA) bans all wheel drive systems. Even Audi's GT3 car doesn't have quattro. It's done for reducing the cost for the teams (reduce mechanical complexity) and the FIA wants AWD to be a rally thing, outside of LMP1.
>>74735088
>The GT3 class (LM GTE in IMSA)
GJ
what a dump!
>>74734907
the nigger can drive, but there's no reason for him to be in trucks at all, his cars are plenty fast.
He tried the whole KBM thing in Xfinity and went crawling back to Gibbs because he couldn't win. That's ego.
>>74738201
>He tried the whole KBM thing in Xfinity and went crawling back to Gibbs because he couldn't win
funny that Krut was the one who figured out how to take one of those cars to victory lane
>>74738201
>there's no reason for him to be in trucks
Sure there is, because trucks are different from Xfinity cars, and cup cars, and as a race car driver, you want to race as much as possible...unless you're fucked contractually like the F1 drivers. Part of the reason cup drivers run those lower tier races is because it allows them to run multiple races a week without having to travel to do it.
Hell, a lot of those guys still run dirt races.
>>74739362
Moonlighting in a Dirt series is much different that racing in a feeder series for cup. It's absolutely absurd the amount of racing he's done in the past in the past in the lower series.
>>74738201
bruh he just likes turning left who care
>>74739449
How dare those race car drivers drive race cars!
prepare to get fucked
>>74740064
Fuck... Jan has aged terribly.
>>74737837
>Florida
Funny thing is that it looks pretty much the same today.
>>74735088
>GT3 class (LM GTE in IMSA)
GTE is basically GT2.
The GT3 class in IMSA is GTD.
>>74729875
It's 12 hours, nigga. Qualifying doesn't really matter and it's more logical to let the Am drivers get their minimum time out of the way early.
Watched one of the nascar races last weekend while fucked off my nut and it was pretty fun, hoping it will be as entertaining this weekend. Who should I be rooting for tonight?
>>74741938
Cup drivers
Busch, Logano, Keslowski
>>74737837
Dat Chaparral. Nice.

>>74744010
No app, there might be some google calendar somewhere. Need Andy Blackmore's calendar for 2017 but it's not out yet, should be sometime this month if going by previous years.
It'll be called the Racing Wall or Wallplanner.

>>74745374
>>random dirt clouds stirred up when the cars run an inch off the track
That's pretty much every track with an Earthen off-track. Even paved off-track is still collect dust depending on the climate.

>>74746277
It's sad you kids don't understand what GT3 is. Do you know that when the FIA GT3 championship started they used to give a trophy to the highest finishing car for every manufacturer? Do you know why? Because it's multiple spec series in one race. Every car from one manufacturer is exactly the same, it's popular because the teams don't have to worry about building or developing their own cars, they can just buy a car and run it with the knowledge that nobody can make their car faster like a spec series, but because one manufacturer doesn't have to support all the cars it's easier for them to get involved.

Can you snobby fags not enjoy any racing? IMSA is a hell of a lot better racing than all the other sportscar series out there. It could use some improvements but I'd much rather watch it over most WEC, ELMS, and Blancpain races
>>74747420

>>74747420
Fact. BES and WEC are a snore fest. I don't like FCYs either but the quality of racing in IMSA has stepped up these last 2 years. The first 2 years of Tudor were a complete shit show though.
>>74747420

>>74750435
The track record at Daytona is still 2.5s faster than the best lap these cars have run, and that record is from before they shortened the chicane, widened the curbs, and leveled and repaved the entire track. Around Sebring they are like 4 seconds per lap slower than the same cars testing on Dunlop tires for ELMS and WEC and 5 seconds off the lap record.

>Audi develops an all new clean sheet engine then throws a giant stack of cash at it and gives it direct injection when nothing has direct injection for extra measure
Chrysler and Cadillac (eventually) had really good chassis but they were absolutely fucked sideways when it came to power and fuel efficiency.
>>74751002
To be fair, minus the direction injection inclusion, what should they have derived the engine from, exactly?
>>74751062
the engine from this
>>74751062
5 cylinder meme engine from the IMSA car I guess. But it's the direct injection that made the other manufacturers quit, because they knew there was no fucking way they could beat that and it wasn't on their development radar at all yet.

>>74751002
i remember watching the 2000 season of ALMS. Those Audis made everything else look last-gen. It's amazing that a small outfit like Panoz could ever have occasionally beat it.
>tfw homemade pretzels and tasty beverages
We comfy now lads.
>>74751130
I pick 900 horsepower
>>74751251
even grand am SRP was more competitive. no factory cars and spending cap or whatever the fucm it's called
>>74751352
Kek. I meant pick two, rather.
900 hp on a 2.3 5 cylinder is possible, but the power band would have to be shit to keep the bottom end from kabooming.
>>74751251
They weren't really any more advanced than the BMWs in terms of chassis design, just they had actually been optimized for the rule changes for that season instead of just hacking the car up to pass tech. The balance of the BMWs was so utterly fucked in 2000, I swear they were sideways in every corner.
So did SVG really just drove the wheels of the Merc and then handed it over to Pooper who then retired the car shortly after?
>Doubt [x]
Do you guys remember when BMW was competitive?
Weren't those good times?
>>74751380

Pooper started them in 17th. Gunnar moved em' up a bit, and SVG got them in the top 3, so surely, a few curbs were raped along the way.
