someone could have made an actual motor/sp/ort thread with a schedule but you shit out another one
Jaxon Carter
That someone could been you. But you didn't, did you? No, you didn't. Know what? When this one shits the bed, I'm going to make the same thread again, just to piss you off.
Grayson Butler
More people could learn from you Texas

Really excited for Indycar next year. More than F1 with the fucking Halo.
Jace Reyes
Indycar will still be testing an aero screen of some kind before the end of the year. They’ve stated it will be smaller than the Shield and not as curved. They’re trying to solve the low pressure area that occurs in the cockpit, the distortion is a non issue since the angle isn’t so extreme.
Connor Brown
The drivers rounding out Penske’s IMSA lineup. Would not have called Graham Rahal as a choice, but HPD might have wanted him and his dad was pretty fond of IMSA GTP’s.
Gabriel Taylor
Wait so graham isn't racing Indy next season?
Xavier Lee
He's an endurance driver like indycar drivers have been doing for years.
Austin Scott
>A group of NASCAR execs are in China to attend opening of Ningbo International Speedpark and visit with auto/sport execs there, per sources.
This opens up Portland provided they have a strong promoter in place.
Hopefully they don’t try a fucking Nashville parking lot Race.
For those wondering why it wasn’t possible, the Labor Day weekend date is garbage. Other races have particular contractual clauses or weather considerations that prevent running during a different time, and there’s also the TV windows to consider from other series on NBC.(that’s the usual reason there are off-weekends, TV windows)
Hudson Long
I could see an international stock car association.
Who are some other active stock car nations: -U.S. -Mezko -Brazil -Oz
I think most everybody else is focused on sport cars and road racing.

It's just a shame that the major overseas ovals are all kill. >South Africa track basically rotting >Motegi basically rotting >Australian Thunderdome basically rotting >UK Rockingham disabled >Lausitzring disabled
Brody Watson
If I remember correctly Motegi was damaged by an earthquake a few years back and the cost to fix it is more money then Honda wants to put into a track that nobody uses.
The problem with most of these tracks is the same reason Nascar stopped going to tracks like North Wilksborough: they are too big for a local every week series but too small (facilities wise) for anyone that could actually use the track to its potential.
Mason Ross
who tf funded/built the South African oval in the first place?
James Edwards
Indycar 2018 Schedule releases tomorrow. Expect everything the same, but Portland instead of Watkins Glen.

I might actually have to watch some imsa this season,that Penske lineup gives me an erection
Alexander Martin
anyone have any insight why ricky decided not to race for his dad?
Jaxson Flores
>that accident started the potatoing of Jr's brain
Because his dads pay check probably isnt the same as what Penske can write.
neat side by side visualization of LMP2s and their DPi counterparts
pic unrelated
Austin Nguyen
The earthquake and Gutierrez lack of money probably shuttered those plans for 2018.

Austin Bennett
Yeah, by the time he reaches the kink there’s no more acceleration left. Although he makes it through 5th pretty quick still, so I think they might have had 6th gear really long intentionally, because he barely accelerates at all there. T-there’s still hope r-right? H-he was just sandbagging, the engines haven’t been upgraded f-for 2018...
Nicholas Reyes
>the 20 car field for the 2021 Daytona 500
IROC races ran like 12 cars and were great, even with the road racers and shit.
A 20 car field of GOOD cars and drivers would be awesome.
Camden Ross
Same kind of gearing as they had this year. I guess it's for p2p drafting and the higher rev limit alone isn't enough.
Nathan Clark
Any field size at a restrictor plate race is great. the problem is once you go to any 1.5 miler.
Kayden Howard
>Nashville parking lot Race
please elaborate
like in the parking lot of the superspeedway? Or wherever the Titans play?
It's criminal Nashville doesn't get anything bigger then ARCA for racing. Huge racing culture there. The fairground Saturday night races were always kino. And one of the few places Nascar scouts actually pay attention to. Not to mention several smaller local tracks in the suburbs and outskirts.
Christopher Carter
wasn't iroc a spec racing series?
Joshua Jenkins
Yea.
All the cars belonged to and were prepped by IROC, and the drivers essentially drew lots before each race to select their cars.
It was pure driver vs. driver racing, and you could see the difference between dudes that knew how to draft, like Dale, and those that didn't.
Owen Myers
It would be the football stadium. I’d rather see Nashville’s oval(is it in good shape?) in use by Indycar.
Sounds like Portland is the replacement, my stomach would sink if it was the Parking lot race.
Cooper Young
I need some NASCAR webms

Luke Sanders
You'll have to be more specific then that friendo
Carson Baker
this one has a car in it I think
Cameron Gray
DELET THIS RIGHT NOW
Brody Martinez
kek
Hudson Morales
don't they (nascar) announce these kind of changes on publicly available channels?
Jose Sanders
I've seen rule updates posted on the NASCAR web site, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they change shit throughout the year.
William Williams
I mean he's got a point, but you can't just show up two thirds of the way through the season, slap a truck together blindly, and expect it to be race ready. Do your homework.
Samuel Bennett
>showing up half way through the season with last year's rule package and expect no problems
come on man even local tracks update the rules/specs every year
William Parker
that sucks because it's a great race and labor day weekend is a horrible date
Camden Brown
It's official:
>As Furniture Row Racing looks ahead to the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, the Denver, Colo. based team is not planning to field the No. 77 Toyota as a second car entry. It is our organization’s goal to operate a two-car team in the future and we will continue to seek sponsorship funding for the No. 77. Our 100 percent focus for next season will be on the No 78 Toyota Camry, which will be driven by Martin Truex Jr.
Josiah Powell
There's the European NASCAR series. I don't think anyone watches it, afaik they race on normal tracks.
Hudson Hughes
More reports of Portland Raceway being Watkins Glen’s replacement. Officials at Portland stated that they’ll have something to announce today.
Schedule releases in a couple hours.
Robert Peterson
WG is a great track, good for TV even if there is no audience. INDY management is just so fucking bad at everything.
Eli Morris
Exactly. This guy is just blowing off some steam, and he did end up making a constructive criticism, so good on him.
Having said that, he knows deep in his heart that he should have been keeping up with the rules, whether by staying in touch with other teams that race more regularly (it's as simple as asking to go have coffee with someone) or paying closer attention.
Carter Fisher
That, or, you know, asking NASCAR when he paid his entry fees to race.
Ryan Robinson
I agree. I don’t think the Glen is gone for good. They may try next year to get it on the 2019 Schedule on a different weekend. I don’t the Glen is as specific as Fontana when it comes to the weekend they want.
William Myers
>as well as a New Race >New Race
Is he just talking about Portland or did they somehow align the stars and get both Portland and Mexico?
What did he mean by this?
Dominic Morgan
100% guarantee he's talking about portland
Chase Rodriguez
Not that we didn’t know.
It does sound more positive than the usual breakups that Indycar has.
Dylan Johnson
So when is the schedule officially out? Even though I know it will be literally the same -WG +Portland I still am curious
Tyler Moore

Jaxon Rogers
it's out.

Kayden King
its literally the fucking same but portland swapped with WGI
Juan Martin
What did the City of Portland’s sign mean by this?
Isaac Miller
Indycar shooting themselves in the foot by continuing their insistence on ending the season in September
Cameron Adams
Most track’s contracts are up at the end of 2018. That is when we’ll potentially see a heavily revised schedule and format.
Brayden Howard
>Bell Isle following the 500 AGAIN REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Colton Butler
>Iowa >flipped Texas No
Henry Sullivan
The west coast was a mistake
Nathan Rodriguez
Mexico City still has a tentative date in March or the old WEC date in August.
March would be ideal as it ensures the race is far away from F1’s date. It would not have time to receive much promotion though. The earthquake certainly didn’t help anything.
Esteban Gutierrez is a requirement for the race to go ahead though so that may be why we haven’t heard anything from SPM’s seats. Hinchcliffe wants a teammate like Wickens, while Indycar May be putting pressure for Esteban. Silly Season is still very silly until everyone is seated and the music stops.
We're all petrolheads, right? Let's unite our sports. It will be great banter.
IndyCar and NASCAR are pretty cool, I just don't know much about them. If we unite our motorsports, we will all benefit from a greater access to motorsport action. Whaddya say?
Julian Brown
You know both sides would be stubborn autists about it.
Luis Smith
Actually having searched the archives, it looks like you do mention F1 in the opening posts of these threads all the time
Maybe I should just come to these threads more then
/f1/ is full of degenerates and paedophiles anyway
