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
>Gibbs Toyotas are fast in nxs practice It's going to be cleanairwinslol for them isn't it.
Yeah I don't care too much about the composite bodies but the racing was good.
Dylan Hill
>Gibbs Toyotas are fast Did you expect anything different?
Hudson Thompson
Why that one though, it looks worse than the windshield Ricciardo was testing
Jaxson Robinson
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
Camden Jones
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.
Logan Long
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
Ethan Morales
Matty Brabs won trophy trucks at Belle Isle, wish I could have seen it.
Logan Green
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.
More Matt. What scale is that?
Aiden Ramirez
>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.
>gtd on a street course I can't wait for red/yellow flags
Gavin Perry
>gtd You misspelled PC
Ayden Hill
Both of them to be honest. Is hindy broadcasting?
Ryder Wood
We were both wrong
Austin Ortiz
goosens you fucking idiot!!!
lets go full speed into a turn without a rear wing!
Zachary Bell
Lmao DP drivers are as retarded as PC drivers what a fucking joke
Chase Butler
>The City of Corvette Prototypes
Wyatt Robinson
>attempting to brake late without rear downforce

Jose Mitchell
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.
Carson Richardson
IRP was losing the race with or without IMS being involved
Jordan Anderson
this race could've been at nazareth ;_;
Landon Howard
danica in the booth for the busch race?
MUTED
Hudson Wilson
Only thing you can race at Nazareth is atvs or industrial lawnmowers
Evan Ortiz
NXS thread
Jeremiah Roberts
It would've worked out pretty well for Xfinity wanting a race near Philly if Nazareth wasn't literally being reclaimed by the Earth.
Samuel Fisher
>de lambo
Nolan Gray
>that refueler spaghetti
Hunter Morris
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
Josiah Nguyen

Jaxson Foster
anyone got a video of the SST crash from earlier today in detroit? Sounds serious...
Alexander Smith
>car sponsored by meme moonshine crashed
Sometimes the world is alright
Colton Fisher
>checks radar
the indycar race is gonna be a spicy one
Carter Morris
BMW dropping Hindman and relegating/benching Frieberg to PC was a horrible idea.
Kevin Howard
>the shitty of detroit
Kevin Powell
>muh detroit resurgence I've been hearing about it for 20 years.
Dominic Russell
>de PC GET RID OF THIS CLASS
Christian Foster
>yet another episode where a single PC car causes multiple safety cars
Just euthanize the class please
Robert Myers
Indy would be better if it were either a night race or they did the road course, not that either will ever happen.
Owen Jones
This is the first time I've ever wanted to be a kid in or near Detroit. Looks fun as fuck. And Tiffany Stone a qt
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.
Levi Turner
>black kid in the BMW lel
Christian Nelson
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.
Gabriel Howard
does anyone have a stream for the IndyCar races @ detroit???
Luis Adams
Viper wins
We did it lads
Adrian Bell
Hope Goose doesn't pull something like that at Le Mans. Hope Keating's crew can pull through but it's gonna be tough going against G-Drive and KCMG with >current year Murphy's Prototypes
Xavier Lewis
get hype
Nathan Watson
>this man is paid to race at Le Mans Life is unfair lads
Henry Turner
>will power >9 o i am laffn
Brandon Turner
If you haven't seen it, Marshall Pruett had a great writeup of Rossi's 500 win. Quotes from Bryan Herta.
>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.'
Cooper Edwards
onboard camera for Rossi when? I wanna see what he's doing
Julian Gonzalez
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
>someone in mindycar spur-of-the-moment invents something common in NASCAB for years
ha ha oh wow
Jayden Green
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
Hudson Lewis
If you have hopes of watching the cup race tomorrow I would make plans for Monday. The forecast tomorrow is not looking good.
Bentley Gonzalez
>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.
There were some other good comments in the thread
Nolan Perez
That's "cuckpit."
Daniel Hill
>The forecast tomorrow is not looking good. >remembered that in 2012 a fan at pocono was killed by lightning after the race was called
Aiden Kelly
>Get an interview with someone who's a higher-up on a Cup team on Monday >It's going to rain and my interview is probably going to be postponed
Just fuck my job search up fampai
Asher Stewart
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).
Anyone subscribed to Racecar Engineering? Looking for a motorsports (mainly GTs or prototypes) related print subscription and was considering them. Open for any suggestions though
Austin Jones
I used to subscribe years ago when I was spending more time at the track. Back then they were excellent.
