Imagine my surprise that I wonder in 4 hours late and discover the 3 Multimatic or Multimatic based cars are running 37th, 40th and 47th in a field of 20.

If there weren't, then there are serious procedural questions to be asked.

Yeah, just because you're a volunteer doesn't give you a pass for not doing a job and being directly responsible for a fairly serious injury.

Forget driver clashes, there are going to be teams that run PLM that now can't. And they're announcing it after those teams will have committed to the NAEC and indeed, ran the first race of it.

Joest can't do anything about the fact that Mazda decided that rather than build an IMSA car they'd first butcher a couple of Lolas old enough to remember segregation in public schools and then pick the LMP2 chassis slower than Montoya to a salad bar.

My Lego Ferrari has already shipping, picked up the Fiesta WRC as well.Feels Villeneuve posted:I also like how badly the TCR UK launch is going. In a shocking turn of events the UK did not need a second low-cost touring car series. You'd think the failure to organise the cup for old BTCC machinery, which everyone already owned, would have told them that. Britain has a second low-cost touring car series, it's called the Clio Cup.

Been watching the WTCR and gently caress me if they haven't spun poo poo into gold with this one. 3 excellent races, one hell of a driver line up and the cars look absolutely fast enough. It actually finally feels like the BTCC on the world stage rather than the staid mess that was WTCC. The Nordschleife race is going to be excellent.

Didn't everyone from GRC already hop to another series anyway? Ah yes they had, and the GRC was trying to market upgraded unbadged lites cars. (This also led me to Scott Speed's twitter where claims to be the World Champion of Rallycross in 2015,2016 and 2017, which would certainly be a surprise to Petter Solberg, Mattias Ekstrom and Johan Kristoffersson who were probably charmingly under the illusion that winning the World Championship rather than a domestic series that only exists to sell sugar water might confer that honour).

Olsbergs (who built all the Fiestas and ran the Civics) already have moved to World RX with a pair of the Fiestas. And both Subaru and Andretti will be in the Americas Rallycross that Feels Villeneuve reminded me of.

Which is pretty good, I've been watching it since the start. And enjoying a wikipedia edgelord deleting me adding the G-Drive car to the WEC page because it's apparently not an entrant. You know, despite the fact it's on the FIA's entry list, which I cited and is actually racing right now.

iospace posted:Le Mans is one of those races that will always exist, and WEC knows it. The problem is right now is WEC was sticking it to F1 in terms of hybrid development, and was an attractive alternative, at least at the start, for teams who wanted to build a hybrid racing powertrain but didn't want to commit F1 dollars to it (and not have the risk of flaming out in 5 years). However, the rise of Formula E, which is cheaper and focuses more on the electronic tech (which in terms of automotive applications is still relatively in its infancy), was an even more attractive alternative because it's so much cheaper. Yeah, the WEC is only a few years old and LeMans survived since the demise of the last one, admittedly not with 60 cars every year. If Toyota left I really think they'd be replaced with several more LMP1 privateers.

LMP1L's in trouble. Surely they need to fix that before the BR1s are let anywhere near LeMans. And Manor may not appear either. So we're done to Rebellion and ByKolles, which is very 2015.

I don't think anything tells the relative professionalism of the LMP1 teams than just listing their race positons 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 48th 49th 50th 52nd And that's ignoring the retired ones.
