The fuck is going on with the Penske

(((IMSA)))

I only have the first game because my computer is a potato. I do have a wheel tho. I hope there are more tracks in the second. And at least one fucking oval. Just one.

Team Penske is trying to give Roger a heart attack in every series.

Has anyone in history watched a race and thought "hmmm I should go buy some of these tires they're shilling?"

having a fast car is a bad thing in todays racing

It is rather those tyres are so bad, better not buy them.

Never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow man.

yt stream getting real shit, anyone have another?

Maybe more so in the past. But people do know Michelins kick ass on the streets, and on the race track. I mean, barring the whole Bridgestone vs Michelin era.

Pirellis explode and have terrible treadwear, if you pay attention to F1. Their street tires top exactly zero charts in their categories. It's what happen when greasy wops try and do things like engineering and manufacturing. The only benefit they have is the F1 marketing and shilling by companies like Porsche who use them as OEM tires.

Continentals have no grip and explode. Miraculously their street tires are bretty gud.

It's all about public perception and reputation.
Well, to be fair, manufacturers are only interested in racing to shill tires and cars.

glad it's not only me

sounds about right

What do you think about Firestone/Bridgestone?

Honestly racing has changed my perception of Michelin a bit. Not so much continental.
Pretty much this. Michelin makes excellent tires no matter what you're trying to get, continentals are great for street, way too conservative for actual track work.

The fuck happened to the #3 corvette to put them so many laps down?

What's that big tube attached to the wiper on the Core LMP? Is that how they distribute washer fluid?

Alternator failure.

gee sebring sure looks bumpy

The mazdas wont blow up, fuck off memers.

>prototypes

Wasn't it transmission related as well?
I remember someone saying it wasn't selecting gears correctly.

That was the #2 car nissan prototype

Bridgestone is every bit the equal of Michelin; excellent tires, especially their performance tires. The RE71R is class of the field for 200 treadwear summer tires. Considering their indycar tie in, firestone doesn't really have any tires sold under them that are actually good at doing anything besides getting groceries.

the firehawk indy 500 is pretty good. it's new as of last year I think.

Dunlop: they've got a couple decent tires. I think the only race series they sponsor is BTCC?
BFGoodrich: the same, but mostly known for their off road tires. They just secured a contract with NASCAR Euro Series tires.
Bridgestone: fukken gud race tires, street tires as good as michelin in raw grip if not other areas as well, and across as wide a range as michelin offers as well.
Firestone: budget bridgestone. Some people swear by them, I dont know how I feel about them.
Hankook: there's some cheap and grippy tires. They sponsor 24H Series.
Kumho: I think they're about the same tier about Hankook, but I dont know much about them.
Nitto: some of the best DOT approved semi-slicks in the NT01 and extreme summers in the NT05. Ride quality? Not their forte.
Achilles: I see motoiq shill them all the time for their drift car.
Toyo: apparently a good street tire manufacturers, but I think most people know them for their semi-slicks used in amateur racing, the R888 and RA1.

I could be wrong on some or all of these points, and missed some manufacturers.

Is Christina Nielsen fat so that she would match the weight of the male drivers?

Enjoy running that dpi at Le Mans :)

>imZa radio and not imSa radio
The fuck brits?

Yeah that tire is okay. Honestly for the money I'd probably just get a yokohama S-drive, though.
I've ran Toyo T1R's for autocross and daily duties for the last couple years. For $50 a tire they're damn fine.

I'd put kumho a tier under Hankook for street tires. Kumho slicks are pretty decent though.

Some of their all seasons are rebranded garbage, but I also really like Falken. Running their RT615K this year. Really like it.

Why isn't there any oval endurance racing?

what a depressing track

500 miles is an endurance race.

Compared to the standards of most other series, they're all pretty much "endurance racing".

None of the IMSA LMP2 cars actually race at Le Mans anyways because there's an IMSA race between the test day and the race.

>ynr that time Kyle Petty almost died from heat exhaustion in victory lane

>ynr kyle petty in victory lane

are there any qts racing

Legge and Nielson or w/e her name is

not at all

At the bigger tracks, engines are often at full song for 80% of the lap and the tires are at their peak loads most every corner.
It might not seem like it, but I doubt any non endurance engine would survive under that kind of load for 500 miles while if we recall the 2005 USGP or even more recently the Daytona 24, it takes a durable tire to survive the loading in the banks.

I generally agree with him, though that first gen IRL car would have been without the airbox.

>implying jordan could've even seen the audis from the cockpit
>implying there was a different way for him to join the track

Its the teams fault for not letting Jordan know that there are cars commited into t1

>implying he couldn't see the audi
>implying he had any right for the corner

i cant believe this was a thing

Agreed.
God those front ends were all hideous.

fuck this place

The really funny part is that everyone who believed in what DP racing stood for got totally fucked over by NASCAR as soon as Panoz was willing to sell.

I mean they were a shittier version of Trans-Am but they weren't the worst things in the world if they didn't hold all the events at ISC tracks hostage with them.

Will Joest get Mazda the win they deserve?

pee pee poo poo

>deserve

i did that by accident

You seem upset.

bruh look at this dood

oh no no no nono

There is no reason they shouldn't be able to win a sprint race this year. By next year they might be a real contender

Fucking saavedra strikes again. Wow.

the fuck happened to that NSX?

Joest are exposed as carbabbies

>mazda not exploding every other race
Dude...
