SlowBloke posted:i think a bit of virtual lemans immersion is lost by not mandating some sort of race attire to everybody. You get the young edgelords eracers with full suit and alpinestars gloves while real drivers might as well race with a pipe and slippers, dressing up like a retired dad(case in point Alonso and Fisichella). A lot more immersion was lost by the commentators repeating 'oh god it looks so real' every 5 seconds.

Hi y'all, just another reminder to watch supercross. The final race of the season is Saturday (I think) and it should be a good one. The two divisions of the 250 class (east and west coast) are doing a showdown, and both have a tight battle for first. Watching the four in title contention for two different titles battle should be really really good racing, and the last couple of tracks have had great layouts. 450s is a little less exciting as first is all but confirmed to be Eli Tomach, but last year's overall winner Cooper Web and Ken Roczen are fighting for second and it should be a good time. Roczen was in the fight for first until some health issues set him back but he won the race last weekend and might still be able to get 2nd back from Webb. Honestly just watch it, its killer racing and very approachable as a viewer.

Watching the four in title contention for two different titles battle should be really really good racing, and the last couple of tracks have had great layouts. The 250s are so great because there are only 7 or 8 races in their season, so the top 2 or 3 riders really have to get after each other. It's almost a guarantee that a 250 race will have a hard pass or even a takeout for the lead. They have to go after it and take big risks, and that results in a lot of drama in a short period of time. The last race "points gimmick," for the 250s, which really isn't one, is the showdown, where the East and West divisions race together during the same main event. Points are paid by finishing position as normal, even if people in the other division finish ahead of a rider. The difference in the championship is 7 in the West and 6 in the East, which is the difference between 1st and 4th; the top 4 finishing E/W/W/E or vice versa is a completely realistic scenario, and that would be enough to flip the championship! meowmeowmeowmeow posted:450s is a little less exciting as first is all but confirmed to be Eli Tomac, but last year's overall winner Cooper Webb and Ken Roczen are fighting for second and it should be a good time. Roczen was in the fight for first until some health issues set him back but he won the race last weekend and might still be able to get 2nd back from Webb. Tomac is going to win it on Sunday, he's too far ahead. But he could have won it on Wednesday had he won the race! He got a terrible start and was dead last into the first corner. As Webb and Roczen were in 2nd and 3rd trying to come forward to take the lead, Tomac was charging through the field. He got up to 4th, got by Roczen, then got up to 2nd after a mistake by the leader that allowed Webb to take the lead. Webb couldn't pull away, but Tomac couldn't close up. Even with the championship all but locked up, any one race has enough action and storylines playing out that you can't help but be engaged. For example, last Sunday we learned that Roczen was diagnosed with shingles, explaining his late-race fades. Halfway through that race we were waiting for him to fade again, like he had in the last three races…nope! He kept his lead and won. With shingles. It's good poo poo. meowmeowmeowmeow posted:Honestly just watch it, its killer racing and very approachable as a viewer. watch more supercross

Be advised that IMSA just shuffled around the Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, and Lime Rock dates And obviously since the forums are likely done at this point I wanted to say that I will miss shitposting and sometimes realposting with nearly each and every one of you fellow car nerds who feels themselves too good for NASCAR but not good enough for Formula 1. It’s been a pleasure to talk about this silly sport with all of you

Not Misc Racing but probably of interest to goons in here still, apparently Bernie Ecclestone has continued to be old, and white, and has stuck his foot in poo poo again. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/26/motorsport/bernie-ecclestone-formula-one-motorsport-lewis-hamilton-spt-intl/index.html Not really a surprise considering he said Adolf Hitler was a man who "got things done", and that women should dress in white like all other domestic appliances. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jun 26, 2020 |

Shouldn’t be allowed Dempsey hasn't driven in like three or four years. He did a full year of WEC but has stayed on as a 'co-owner' but not driver. Fassbender has gone from not really knowing or caring much about cars to doing Ferrari one-makes and apparently now ELMS, huh.
