The latest news is that Orontes threatened to abandon development unless iRacing Studios allow them to implement Raytracing in their engine.
This is apparently causing major performance and stability issues, which are also undermined by the adoption of Denuvo out of safety concerns.

Because you know how good it once was and are hoping each race is different, but you’re too knowledgeable to trick yourself to think “this is alright, this is fast!”. This was one of the more “disappointing” races of recent memory, and I get all can’t be winners but holy fucking shit the race cars can’t race, they’re simply fast pace cars

1. there won't be any bumping, and there won't be, for the foreseeable future. nobody wants to buy a Dallara DW12 just to maybe do Indy (if you qualify) when the chassis is about to be retired.
2. if Schumacher can't outqualify Abel, he is a confirmed shitter. I don't care if he doesn't have experience with ovals. good drivers adapt.
>>
>>

>>154312802
The even harder part even if someone bought the chassis would be sucking Honda/Chevy dick to get an engine.
>charters for the field
>leases for the engines
Shits fucking retarded. It’s all been mentioned before but they do this to keep the club small, and their end goal is to finish Dale Coyne and other small teams
>confirmed shitter
Mick is shit, very kind guy, but he is no different than Sting Ray Robb, who at the very least competed in the Road to Indy.

>>154312861
Malukas no matter how faggy he talks, is without a doubt the smoothest Penske driver. Scotty Ack doesn’t seem focused. Newgarden is still a threat but he is creeping into that “done” stage (I hope I’m wrong)

Roger and Doug have got to convince Toyota to join IndyCar. Honda and GM have been vocal in their desire for a third manufacturer. the fact that Toyota joined Australian Supercars before IndyCar should be a wake up call to IndyCar. Akio Toyoda is a car guy and wants Toyota to race in every series. but not IndyCar yet. why? convince him.
>>
>>
Toyota is the only manufacturer I think might have the will to, and the financial resources to, join IndyCar in time for the new chassis in 2028. if you can't convince Toyota to join, you certainly won't convince any other manufacturer.
>>
>>
there's really nothing interesting at all about indycar except the indy 500. the cars are slow and heavy and the new one that keeps getting pushed back wont fix that
the nigger-rigged "technology" is nothing like whats used in any road car, and theres nothing but suspension to develop
im surprised some of the old guys still show up when theyve experienced so much better in the past.
Roger is running this shit into the ground
>>
>>
>>
>>154313098
Indycar doesn’t convince. They’re ((old school)) aka rape the fucking fans, promote the 500, and ruin the series. How hard is it to book a race? IMSA has their 2027 calendar released. I believe the IMSA Long Beach and Detroit dates lead to another April race mixed in, but for fucks sake I’m tired of being kind to Doug Boles.
>what has boles said
He hasn’t said shit, he’s just so kind and talks in polite circles no one asks him the hard questions.
>why no third manufacturer
Indycar is run by smug cunts who look at the numbers and could give a fuck about the product.
>>
>>154313137
>>154313161
Who wants to join a series that isn’t focused on racing, and more in tune with profit, all while ignoring the racing brings the profit
>>
>>154313327
>Roger is running this shit into the ground.
Yet no one has had the balls to tell him, and thus we are here. He is pushing the full nascar template.
>charters
>long service car (car of tomorrow was around for a good chunk of time as well and got a facelift)
Clear as day generational wealth save so his sons have something when he is gone. Truly nothing more than a passion project to put smug faggots in charge that keep the out of touch man happy.

I do wish we could’ve seen the run without the hybrid so Dixon could’ve stole some of his wins
>>
>>
Indycar doesn't have a third manufacturer because it's expensive for the low visibility, and the car is old so the competition level is high. If the car changed every few years it would be more tempting to join because everyone starts from square one, but that would increase costs more. At this point I might prefer losing honda, ripping out that hybrid anchor and everyone gets a stock 2.4 liter ilmor. The field size would go down which would only matter to me at the 500 and all the road races would improve

I didn't ask a question. I made a statement. I guess to expand a little more, I'm already going to 5 races this year, and if her company pays for a good chunk of the trip, I'll have a relatively cheap race to go to.
