It looks like the Porsche did too, or at least the commentators think so.

Tough call, plus there was a green flag on the straight there when the Porsche committed to the pass

The Audi one might be more clear cut

e: no action for either

I'll definitely get it for the rest of the season. I used it for Le Mans last year and liked it.

Apparently this year they are also doing VOD after the event, or I heard it on midweek motorsport. Dunno if anyone can confirm?

I paid for just this race to test it out, pretty happy - only one drop out which I dont think was feed related

I think Hindy said you can watch the race for 2-3 weeks afterwards, but I'd kill for a HD download of the race afterwards

Honestly the vod would be enough for me so I can watch bits of the race where i've had to go out or just missed it completely.

I stepped out for a bit, does the Porsche have to pit again or is this the real gap between the two?

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

If anybody keeps forgetting Formula E exists (like me), apparently you can watch the races on demand somewhere on Time Warner Cable. While talking TV, if you're in the US and DVRing BTCC, set the program following it to record as well, because there's been CBSSN fuckery on both airings of Brands Hatch so far.

Also, Wayne Taylor Racing. :hellyeah:

And :lol: GTLM. That was a hell of a plot twist.

Race 2 of BTCC this week was a hell of a race. I didn't see race 1 and race 3 was kinda ehh.

Race 3 was basically Shedden and Neal wait for Tordoff's tires to fall off then just blow right past him.

Pretty much its a 2 seat F1 car with fenders. All going for that high nose that F1 had years ago before Schumacher almost got brained by a Force India. Seems like Toyota still has some work to do, Porsche is still the strongest, and Audi still somehow winning races.

If you didn't see it in the IndyCar thread, a track worker got hit by a car in a domino effect yesterday during the Pro/Celebrity race.

The race was pretty amazing outside of this bit of shitshowiness.

Ahaha what in the gently caress is a yellow flag? The race directors should have penalized each team for that poo poo.

Got around to watching WTCC from this weekend, race 1 was pretty dull but race 2 was great. Last 3 laps especially. It's looking like a solid season so far as seemingly every manufacturer has the pace to compete at the front.

Didn't something like this happen to them just a year or two ago or am I thinking of something else?

Yet another diesel VAG car caught cheating.

I vaguely recall an issue with breaching fuel flow rate limitations, but I could be totally wrong.

Anyone been to a weekend at Sonoma/Sears Point? Buddy and I are thinking about doing it for the last PWC event of the year, and just curious what the best tickets/areas are.

Also if the $325 suite tickets are worth it and if the booze is really unlimited. Also if outside booze is allowed in.

Lot of series streams happening today.

Formula E is now streaming on Daily Motion for US people and on Youtube for everyone else. Race is in about 3 hours.
TCR qualifying in Estoril will be on Youtube from 4:40pm BST.
And Blancpain is streaming all their sessions from Monza this weekend as well.

There was a similar flip in the SST race the day before, but he drove away on that one. This one actually hit the pitwall catch fence. Never seen that before.

TAFC Funny car Marie Ferriolo with the craziest wheelstand I've ever seen in a funny car.
It was this past weekend in Q2 at Zmax Dragway.

She was qualified #15 and we were qualified #17 when she did this Saturday morning. First round of alcohol runs Saturday afternoon so we got in because she couldn't make the call that afternoon.
