yeah the rally was good btw. Still need to un-neuter the events and get some properly long rallies back in the sport.

This is silly since I made fun of someone earlier for saying Loeb/Ogier mainly benefited from luck, but god drat did Ogier get lucky at Monte Carlo. Made several serious mistakes which cost him time, but kept his car intact, while the only mistake Neuville made was minor but destroyed his rear suspension.

anyone following MotoGP testing, I'd give a shout out to Vinales as a good bet to win the title but he's already the second favorite on most betting sites so the odds actually aren't worth it probably Still hoping that Iannone/Suzuki works out

Kenny Roberts Jr. is becoming a MotoGP Legend! I know people will scoff at that one but he's one of a very small number of 500cc/MotoGP riders to win a title while not on one of the top bikes.

KR did have a very good year in 1999, too. Suzuki never got a hang of the 4-stroke era and that was it for KR's career (though he nearly won that infamous 2006 Grand Prix at Estoril on his dad's bike with a Honda engine)

harperdc posted:Now I need to go back and read again how that even happened. I think it was just consistency while everyone else threw things away. There was a weak field factor there. Rossi had just debuted, Criville ran out of gas, Doohan was gone and the best of the rest was like Loris Capirossi, Alex Barros, and Max Biaggi. With that being said, Aoki couldn't do poo poo with that bike and it was clearly the third best behind the Honda and Yamaha. Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Humbug posted:Its only 3.8 seconds between Latvala and Tanak for the lead too after 15 stages. Always good when the standings aren't set going into Sunday. Ogier only 16 seconds down and may become a factor, but I hope he doesn't. Tanak is seriously impressing me and I think he's in for a big season, I still remember him nearly winning that rally last year in the DMACK Ford.

Tanak is the real deal. Ran Ogier harder than any teammate I can remember since Loeb at the Monte, and beat him straight up here.

People are blowing that out of proportion, stages have been getting cancelled for having too high average speeds (which usually means it has way too many boring straight sections) for a long time.

SVG on pole for Clipsal, early but can't think he'd be anything but a title contender this season. McLaughlin in second for Penske-DJR is good, think he's the best young driver on the grid and could do great things with that team, potentially.

I think 1000k races usually are about 6 hours, which is a pretty common endurance race time.

Yeah last season had a relative amount of parity too, it's just that nobody but Ogier was able to put together a full season of good results, despite all the different winners.

The last 20 years has taught me that there is no point in there being an international touring car series. Just run it like the old Supertouring days and have there be a TCR World Cup involving all the international TCR series every year. I think there was like, a three year period where ETCC/WTCC was good before it turned into a complete mess of works teams bitching to the FIA and playing team orders games with 6-car teams.

Neuville finally won a rally in 2017. Have to think he's a favorite to win the title if he doesn't revert to crashing in every rally like the first two rounds, that Hyundai has been quick everywhere.

I figure that would just lead to GTs becoming quasi-prototypes like in the 90s FIA-GT years. The Ford GT's already halfway there.

I think the GT1 homologation rules at some point were one road car (which you didn't have to actually sell), with enough cargo space to hold a briefcase. Toyota successfully argued that you could hold a briefcase in the fuel tank.

Group A died because of the evolution rule, where the number of models in the range of cars in production went from like 2,500 to something like 100. On the other hand, it gave us some insane homologation specials like the Skyline GTR, the various Lancer Evos, and the Sierra Cosworth.

1500quidporsche posted:I don't think it was for GT1 but didn't Porsche once argue that since they had the amount of cars necessary in parts that they met the homologation requirements? In Group A people would do poo poo like build 500 evolution models and immediately strip them of all the race parts before they went on sale as normal sporty models, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Really weird to see Joest involved with a non-German manufacturer. e) really, has that ever happened? Joest was with Porsche/Audi for decades in Le Mans, and was briefly running the factory Opels in DTM/ITC. About the only German manufacturer they didn't touch was BMW, probably because Schnitzer is the BMW house team. Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jul 18, 2017 |
