The qualifying for MotoGP today is extremely good because the track is wet but drying and they have to try to figure out as the clock counts down, plus a lot of big names in Q1

Good, if short, Super Formula race. The sub drivers are doing pretty well this year.

Live now: the Super Taikyu 24 Hours of Fuji, which features a bit of rain (along with Toyota's hydrogen-combustion Corolla being driven by a bunch of their WEC drivers and also the president of Toyota). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJtFBKE55Jc

just a heads up that this weekend is the Nurburgring 24. I presume it'll be streamed on youtube as normal with radio lemans commentary.

Thank you for the race week reminder - the Nurburgring 24 Hours is one of the absolute legendary events, and will have some fans in the crowd (though only in the stadium/grand prix circuit areas, so no glorious camper setups out in the woods) as well. The entry list is apparently updated despite the link saying 2020. Here are highlights from last year's race (held in September): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYMzH4mmRXY That YouTube channel should also carry the race, as will Radio LeMans/RSL. I'll try to drop the race link in here on Saturday.

No probs. I honestly think that both it and spa are the better 24hr races for me both from ease of watching and the actual racing. I really want to like le mans but I find the track kinda boring and its a pain in the butt to watch in Australia cause the only legit streaming service that carries it doesn't really like to work with the level of internet that the government decided was good enough for the area that I live.

N24 is way better than Spa for the simple fact that it's not run by the SRO Also because Volker Strycek and his 1988 Opel Manta that race every year, with a foxtail on the antenna.

The N24 is probably my favorite race event of the year. There's just so much crazy poo poo that happens and the cars are so awesome and the track is so awesome and the weather is so awesome.

CactusWeasle posted:The Spa 24 is mediocre at best  SRO took a lot of the endurance part out of the race, with minimum pit stop times, no tire allocation rules forcing tire strategy, maximum stint lengths, mandatory timed long stops for brakes, and safety cars bunching the field after every FCY it just feels like an overly long sprint race, there's no real strategy involved. Doesn't help that Pirelli's GT3 tire is absolutely shite and falls apart if you look at it wrong.

I don’t know anything about endurance racing because I watch the vastly superior Formula 1 (😍Lando, Charl, George). Who is Dries Vanthoor and why do I feel like he’s been on my feed more than anyone else? Also do weather delays pause the 24 hour clock?

If it rains hard enough they red flag but the clock stays running. It's happened in the N24 in the past where overnight it was too bad to race but the clock kept on running.

Rain is cool and good.... except at night cos it produces fog and red flags. So I want it to rain during the day but dry at night. Stay safe out there N24 ghosts.
