Did your last one Die or hit the bump limit?

No OP's just a faggot retard

Not OP but each week should get a new one, this has an updated schedule

what's your test track? for me it's brno

Phillip Island

Your General lasts a week? Pathetic

F1 BULLIES GET OUT

Pic related.
And yet here you are...

Ausfags, what the fuck is this?

The epitome of NASCAR.

dual cab ute

A B S U R D

But why doesn't it look like this?

nah mate those utes don't appeal to the family man tradie

U.S. EST for supercars events for any interested.

0020 - 0040 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship Qualifying - Race 1

2025 - 2055 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship Top Ten Shootout

2010 - 2040 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship Top Ten Shootout

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why is there no off-road Motorsport event with no vehicle type restriction where only true daredevils can compete without fear of crashing or dying? Is such a thing outlawed by human rights fags? People get hurt in any sport nowadays anyway.

...

Ehm there's the Dakar rally which has motorbikes, cars, quads and trucks.

there is, it's called the Dakar Rally

>Morbidelli
>Luthi

Did Jack Miller get dropped from Marc VDS Racing? I know Tito is definitely gone.

Miller changed to Pramac Ducati.
Tito is still there though, his family has money.

motorstorm is only a game, stoopid

Why doesn't Kawasaki field a MotoGP team?

Probably too expensive. I think 2008 was the last year for them in MotoGP and then was the economical crisis.
After that it's just winning in SBK, so why change?

faggot

reminder that if you continue to watch NASCAR after they added stages you are bad stupid and gay, also you should kys

I was going to ask someone to translate the times thank you

I think there was a picture of Rico Abreu getting interviewed by one of the NASCAR roasties and she's kneeling. Anyone have it?

please don't bully our son

Wait is this what the utes are now?

.......seriously?

Is that madcunt in the civic no longer racing in improved production?

A vehicle that's in production

Because they aren't

motorsport.com/motogp/news/motogp-too-expensive-for-us-says-kawasaki/

Kawasaki hasn't been relevant in GP racing in an eternity anyways though, it just looks bad because Kawasaki and Ducati are the only manufacturers that still give a fuck about superbike racing on an international level.

lmao what fucking joke of a series

racer.com/imsa/item/147731-imsa-implements-minimum-refueling-times

>manufacturers will never bring 10 cars to Le Mans again because they won't break 9 of them anymore and there's those cunts in lower class cars that feel entitled to starting spots now

>GTLM
lel but why

>tfw all down hill after 99

But 2014-2016 was fucking great. Perspective is a bit lacking with people about Le Mans generally. Since Mercedes pulled out after the whole car exploding and killing everyone thing it's been like

Ferrari vs. Jaguar
Ferrari vs. no one
Ferrari vs. Ford
Porsche losing to privateer Fords
Ferrari vs. Porsche
Fucking Matras and Mirage DFVs because the Italians couldn't even be fucked to show up for the 24 hours
Porsche vs. no one
Porsche vs. Renault
Porsche vs. no one
Rondeau lol
Porsche vs. no one
Porsche vs. exploding Lancias
Porsche vs. Jaguar
Jaguar vs. Mercedes vs. quasi-factory Porsche with Nissans becoming half relevant
Mazda meme victory in what should have been Peugeot/Mercedes/Jaguar
Toyota vs. Peugeot
Toyota vs. Porsche
Privateer clusterfuck featuring the McLaren F1 and Joest's random fuck chopped Jag with a Porsche engine
Porsche vs. Mercedes vs. BMW vs. Toyota vs. Nissan for approximately 5 minutes
Audiwinslol
Audi vs. Peugeot
Audi vs. Toyota
Audi vs. Toyota vs. Porsche with a guest visit from Nissan's marketing department
Toyota vs. Porsche
Toyota vs. no one

There was like 10 years there that Porsche effectively had no manufacturer opposition at Le Mans and much of that is regarded as a golden age. Some plucky privateer fucker trying to steal a win off of the current factory favourite is the spirit of Le Mans as much as anything.

>fia pro/am garbage

this desu why not combine them and just add the gt3 class or some shit? better than gte and a cucked version of the same class

There's only like 6 GTE Am cars anyways.

Because the ACO strongly dislikes Stephane Ratel to put it lightly

>Because the ACO...
....is pure cancer.

A bad joke. Don't expect to see them next year.

>WAT

super """"""""""""""ute"""""""""""""" race about to start

> motorsport.cf:8080

any bets on number of rolls?

there were none at the start so i doubt there will be any in this race

flippin eck

What motorsports and motorsport, you have to be 100% friendly with the environment, 100% ecological and 100% eco friendly

jesus these utes sound disgusting

qualifying?

stadium super trucks

I thought Robbie Gordon was banned from oz after his stunt last year? or is that just Queensland?

they lifted his ban

slo mo kino

KEK HE CHOKED IT AWAY

spaghetti last lap lets the kid win

i was just about to post how boring it was watching a veteran curb stomp a kid

Fernando is that you?

who told the aussies about blender

Quali race 1 is on!!!!!!!!!!!!

KEKED

They're here!

...

>DeBris
That fucker gets around.....

...

>SCOTTY'S IN POLE. QUICK CHUCK A MIRROR ON THE TRACK

Hoots would have never let something like this happen

>personal best is green now
what the actual fuck
in what reality does that make sense

i was wondering what green meant

REST
IN
FUCKING
PIECES
WHINCUP

>7 time ripping wheels off his car
Geezis fuckin' christ, dude...

>gets cucked by .0010 seconds

You working or something, dude?

I guess those haulers convoy across the country.

They do a parade down the Las Vegas Strip every year when they arrive in town. I saw Joey Logano's hauler driver at a truck wash this morning polishing the rig up for the parade. Pretty cool

...

...

...

...

The Champion

Who would win in a fight, Whincup or Jimmie Johnson?

>not just running Whincup over with the #48 Chevrolet

Winscups is in his mid 30's, so he has a youth advantage. However, Gimmie is a cardio freak and bikes like a madman every week, so he has a cardio advantage, and since pretty much every NASCAR race is an "endurance" race compared to the Supercars events, Gimmie has a toughness advantage as well.

My vote, Gimmie wins by simply outlasting Winscups.

Mobil 1 The Grid made a vid about Billy Monger: youtube.com/watch?v=qvK9_eDDRTc

Speaking of Monger how come you berate him as "The Mong" yet you celebrate Alex Zanardi as "based"?

Because this kid got everything in life gifted after his accident. He was a literal nobody before.

Zanardi was already a established driver in both F1 and Indy and after that he became a top paralympic athlete.
I have respect for him, not for some lucky kid who became a charity case.

uh it's because his name is perfect to be nicknamed "the mong". cmon now

If he ever earns your respect, will we say "CAN'T DONG THE MONG"?

Nice, thanks. I'll check it out.

Well obviously, but it could happen y'know.

Is this a parade of sorts or just a coincidence?

motogp.com/en/TestResults/MotoGP Qatar Test 2018
live timing of test day 2

I'm pretty confident everyone involved in making this show has autism
youtu.be/UFw5Mkg00OE

>making a peace sign while taking the picture
What did he mean by this?

car manufacturers trying to sell more of what everyone who is interested is already buying and missing the point of motorsport entirely

parade

"I'm taking both you ladies back to my Hotel room when we're done here"

So you're just pissed that he didn't have millions of dollars in F1 and Indy cash to unfuck himself the way Zanardi did?

Reminder. 3 weeks until Qatar and the beginning of the end of the GOAT

>the beginning of the end of the GOAT
Marquez or Vale?
