I always tune in for the last few hours because one of the classes turns into a knife fight but that's not happening this year. GTE Pro has been... uneventful? Not that sad it's being retired for a bigger GTE Am.

Hopefully 2022 should have a better grid... the first 10 hours were nonstop clownshoes, after all the dopes crashed out it calmed down a lot

Apparently not enough people have died loving with race tracks to tell that oval office with the flag you perhaps don't gently caress with a live race track while 2 cars are fighting for a win.

harperdc posted:congratulations, you aimed the cartoon anvil Yeah that's the thing, if it's all settled and you know everyone is parading it's one thing but it was very clear that the 28 was going to catch the 31 on the line. Maybe at least put him much further up the track as a ceremonial thing.

We're not letting Montoya get away with claiming a win in a semi-official subclass of a class at LeMans counts right?

Montoya in the dragonspeed doubles as BoP weight, he is almost twice the size of the other drivers.

Only a few random fans might say it’s a Triple Crown, but I would be shocked if he thought it was. Even if a class win was enough (still, no), his best lap times wouldn’t have made the cut in multiple LMP2 teams with all pros.
|
# ? Aug 22, 2021 18:38 |

Thing is, Montoya doesn't give a shot about the triple crown unless there's an actual trophy and money involved, which is why him getting it would make me laugh even harder that he got it instead of Fernando

remember when Villeneuve nearly got it (in the semi-official "F1 WDC instead of Monaco" variant) if not for the weather

Feels Villeneuve posted:remember when Villeneuve nearly got it (in the semi-official "F1 WDC instead of Monaco" variant) if not for the weather I mean they are both non official but the WDC one always seems more legitimate to me than the Monaco one, because winning one mediocre race seems like a lot less of a test of skill. a pipe smoking dog fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Aug 22, 2021 |

It makes more sense to me as the 3 prestigious races even if some have lost their lustre since the 60s. I think Andretti technically has a Le Mans class win/WDC/Indy too, not quite a crown. A hat maybe.

spaceblancmange posted:It makes more sense to me as the 3 prestigious races even if some have lost their lustre since the 60s. yeah, arguably the three highest-profile races in the world. but even Graham Hill pushes the goalposts out farther to the "WDC, Le Mans and Indy" definition. Of course, he's the only guy to do both, so whether that's fair or not is your own call.

If this happens another 6 or 7 times they really should consider doing something about it.

Weird because it becomes both cheap and desired as soon as another VAG brand are in. Packing the grid is the only way to beat BoP. Which implies you won't see factory VAG in IMSA at all, but if they're selling cars that's not going to matter much. Dudley fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Sep 7, 2021 |

Nah, Penske is confirmed running a Porsche LMDH factory team in IMSA. The problem is entirely Audi USA not wanting to pay the bill, which apparently was a problem even when the Audi R8 and R10 were dominant back in the day! Somebody will run non-factory Audis nonetheless in IMSA, and it’ll likely be a decent level of team too. But it won’t be factory.
