Porsche's aero concept is so good. The officials gave them the highest possible weight and the lowest engine power(almost 10% lower than ASTON!) and they are still competitive. They might win on a course where aero plays a bigger role.

Have you ever watched any of those old 1950s hot rod movies? Some of them are actually pretty cool.
Also, apparently, you guys have a gassers series, so I would recommend checking that out.
I personally prefer left and right turns, but I just love cars. I mean, look at some of these machines (when you get home) and tell me they aren't cool as hell.

Dude, seeing a race in person is unreal. It is more than a /sp/orting event. It's a genuine spectacle.
Also, that was kind of a crap race to see on TV, but that doesn't even matter because in person it's still amazing! That's why I'm going to DC, kek.
>They announced the death of Juha Miettinen at the race and lowered the US flags to half mast
Yeah, that's been a wet blanket on the day tbdesu, but it's good to see the brotherhood and respect among racists across the world.
Tomorrow is going to be absolutely next level! I bet it's going to be hard to move down there and IndyCar is a hell of a show.
Is there a local sports radio station that will be streaming the race? If not, just run the stream on your phone with ear buds and over the ear hearing protection. I wish I had thought reccomend that earlier.

Long Beach is not only the best street course in the world, meet me at the Applebee's of your choosing, but it's also a reminder that racing is supposed to be fun.
Stadium Super Trucks is definitely a great reminder, but I really wish they would bring back the Toyota/Scion Celebrity Pro Am.

You missed the worst IMSA Long Beach race in... my memory and that goes back a bit.
Every time a battle would develop, a yellow came out. I'm glad I watched it,but I can't recommend you go back and do the same.
Just sort and clean brass cartridge cases and look forward to tomorrow. That's my plan.

Long Beach is the best street course in the world, but not every race can be the best.
>This track sucks
I see it everywhere, but nowhere near as much as NASCAR. There will be one bad race at a historically kino track and people will immediately call for it to be removed from the schedule.
Today was just a cursed day for sports car racing.
We started with a totaled Ferrari in Spain, a terrible fatality in Germany and a below average IMSA race. I guess WEC qualifying went well enough... I mean, no one died.
At least Indy qualifying was decent and we had joomin trugs.
If we couldn't look for tomorrow to be better, there wouldn't be any point in waking up.
I choose to believe tomorrow will be better and I encourage you to believe the same. Together, we can make it happen. replace.
Every time you are kind to someone, you make the world a beplace.

It reallly is great. I've been thrice and I'ev always enjoyed myself indulging in all the automotive stuff there and visiting the big 3 galleries: Honda Aoyama, Nissan Yokohoma, Toyota Megaweb (before they shuttered)
Never attended a race on Japanese soil yet so that's the plan this year. The original plan was Sepang in June and Fuji WEC in September but now I might just do Japan twice and maybe even Macau at the end of the year

Perhaps I'm getting it confused with Turner BMW. I literally thought Ohlins was a sponsor because of the colors, but looking back, I guess I was wrong.
Still, they are more expensive than Bilstine, who coincidentally has the same color scheme.

24H NBR Qualifiers Race Called Off, Miettinen Passes After Serious Incident
>“During the first race of the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers (18 April 2026), a serious accident involving seven competitors occurred in the early stages of the race. Following the collision between several vehicles, race control immediately halted the race to allow for extensive recovery and rescue operations.
>“Despite the immediate arrival of emergency services, the emergency medics were unable to save the driver involved, Juha Miettinen (BMW 325i, #121), after he had been extracted from the vehicle; the driver died at the Medical Centre after all attempts at resuscitation proved unsuccessful.
>“The race will not resume on Saturday evening. The thoughts of everyone involved in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring are with the bereaved family of Juha Miettinen.
>“A minute’s silence will be held in memory of the late motorsport competitor during the grid formation for Sunday’s race at 13:00.”
>“SRO Motorsports Group extends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Juha Miettinen, who lost his life at the ADAC 24H Nürburgring Qualifiers earlier today.
>“It also stands in solidarity with the event organisers, ADAC and all those affected by the tragic incident.
>“SRO’s thoughts and prayers are with Juha’s family and friends, as well as the other drivers involved, at this difficult time.”
>“Heartbreaking news from the Nürburgring. We are shocked and deeply saddened by the fatal accident of Juha Miettinen. We lost a member of the BMW racing family under tragic circumstances. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
>It’s the first driver fatality during a race on the Nordschleife since German Wolf Silvester died during a race in June 2013.

You know, I'm happy that my guy Lotterer's back in WEC with Genesis, but with Porsche gone, I don't know how to feel
I can't seem to care about WEC just as much as I did in the past couple of years, and it's gonna be really weird not to have Porsche in the top class at Le Mans again
Sure, there's been numerous spells like this in the past but with the Porschefag in me having no one in particular to root for, and it also weighs on me that Alpine and Acura and pulling out after this season as well, even if we're getting Genesis, McLaren and Ford in exchange
For god's sake Honda, it's one thing to sit on the fence but it's another entirely to mull over entering WEC 2 weeks ago and then dropping the bombshell this week of completely pull out of top class prototype racing
Porsche will be back, once they eventually figure out how to give the LMDhs a chance against the LMHs, that or once they unify both classes eventually in the 2030s

I was expecting them to use a 911 Carrera as a base for the new GT4, just the regular turbo engine with some boost to save money. Guess it's better for them to use the same 4.0 across all race cars

No. Next gen Cayman is delayed for a few years because the platform hast to be redesigned to fit both EV and regular drivetrains. (that's the last thing I heard a few months ago)
There was always going to be a gap between 981 and the next model, but it is going to be a few years longer than originally planned
>>
>>
>>154282291
>both EV and regular drivetrains
But yeah, they went almost back to square one at a very late point is what I've heard.
It could end up being two different platforms, EV cayman and regular cayman based on a modified 911 platform - but no matter how, you will be able to order both models in 2027

Yeah, and it's easy to get impatient and upset when we get delays for safety, like barriers repairs or extended FCYs for weather that prevents medevac helicopters from flying. We can also be a bit callous about these things, but when someone actually does get killed it really puts into perspective.

>I can't seem to care about WEC just as much as I did in the past couple of years
Same. I guess we will see what the new season brings, but it's not the same without the smaller manufacturers and privateer teams. I absolutely can't get excited about Genesis as a brand and an LMDh McLaren and Ford aren't tremendously exciting, either. I mean, I'm glad to have them, but I wouldn't trade Glickenhaus or Proton for them.
>For god's sake Honda
I'm not even the biggest Honda fan, but I greatly respect them and I appreciate that they stuck with IMSA when it was only them and Cadillac for a few years, like Alpine did in WEC. Not having an Acura in IMSA is going to be really weird and it's already really sad. Similarly, it will be sad to not have Alpine in WEC. Honda seem to have lost their way on a lot of levels and I think divesting from auto racing (except F1) is a big mistake them.

Yeah, how are they so amazingly good in IMSA and struggling so badly in WEC? I guess it's BoP, but I think it's more than that. Separate BoP is kind of lame anyway.

HY seems pretty processional today. Position changes just from pit stops.
TFW the Valkyries start down the order and can't make up positions. They were running close behind their rivals.
Most cars best laps are in the 1:33s. Despite the whole thing of qually being 'less important' for endurance races, it seems that it's quite the opposite.

I get why people would get frustrated but what do you expect? Max is one of the most popular drivers in the world and dwarfs anybody thats running there at the moment. Its not much different then when Alonso tried the Indy 500. I know a lot of us cant stand F1 but its popularity is unavoidable.

You have to get a certain amount of drive time under certain racing conditions to run certain classes at the N24. The NLS is the best (only?) way to get that time in GT3 and probably other classes.
Also, the N24 doesn't pay points for the NLS because of course it doesn't.

Rewatching the #3 onboard there seems to be nothing unsual except maybe some front splitter rattling after hitting the Schwalbenschanz quite hard? He also drove close to the pit wall, so the team could check. And entered to pits after drving around the GP track.

Used to just watch motorsports but ever since I started playing racing sims many years back, I really gained a newfound respect for what these drivers do
I could never lap the Burgerring consistently and at speed without binning it eventually, so I really have no idea how these fellas do it for multi-hour stints, and in the dark and rain at that
Fucking superhuman shit

>procure the merch onsite
I'd probably get a couple of things beforehand, but for me, I really appreciate things I get at events and as gifts more than things I just buy on eBay or whatever. It will always remind you of that person or that time you did that thing. It's part of the reason I go so hard in swag at Petit Le Mans.
>I got that shirt the year the pink Cadillac won while the headlights were falling.
>My freind got me that book for my birthday.
>I got that hat at the Penske race shop (and ruined it at a race with a head lamp.)
It gives it a priceless quality.
Also, if I were you, I would probably rock that sweet Sato gear you got at least one day. They will definitely respect that.

Thanks brother. I'm happy that I now have the means to do what I always wanted to do as a lad 10 years back, and that is flying around to different countries and attending races in person
These days when I'm applying for leave, my colleagues would always ask me something along the lines of "so what race are you going to now?"
>It will always remind you of that person or that time you did that thing.
Oh yeah definitely. I have an ARTA shirt and a Toyota GR one from Sepang last year and wearing them always brings me back to the race
>I would probably rock that sweet Sato gear you got at least one day. They will definitely respect that.
Definitely gonna do that. I wore it to Sepang last year and it got some attention. The Malaysians were definitely avid vrooms fans, I even saw a guy with full Grello merch at Asian Le Mans in December

The exact opposite of what I want 99% of the time, but when I wear a Glickenhaus or Grand-Am series hat to a race, you know that the people that notice are worth talking to.

Look, man. I know the way things really stand.
I think we all do.
I've been watching this for a long time and it is one of the increasingly few things that make me happy, so I don't need to be constantly reminded that is a fake and gay simulacrum of what it used to be.
I already know that and I specifically choose to ignore it because I need at least one thing in this increasingly fake and gay world to help me get through the day, week, month, year.

Dude, I am absolutely telling you, get a Beofeng HAM radio and a Rugged Radios headset. You can find the announcers and the high quality headset saves your ears. Literally nothing will improve your race attending experience as much as being able to hear the announcers.
In the US there are often trailers in the vendors area that will rent radios and head sets, so keep an eye out for that if you don't want to bother with figuring things out by yourself.

Yeah Sepang didn't have the announcers over the PA system which was a shame
>In the US there are often trailers in the vendors area
Ah, didn't see that at Sepang or the Singapore GP

That is what we call a business opportunity.
It would take some cash and a lot of emails, but it's a legitimate way to make a living at motorsports.
This is a market gap in Asia and I'm actually more than a little interested.
Basically this, but in Asia.

It's not a thing in europe either, and I think it's because the commentary isn't broadcast over radio there anymore. Might be the same in SEA
I just use a pair of bluetooth hearing protectors and have RLM or whatever playing on my phone

The pits and the booth HAVE to communicate via radio and I guess the booth can relay to a hardline intent connection, but I bet therer is an invisible exploitation of the race passing through your body. You just need the equipment to intercept it.

Absolutely, and even moreso in the "old days" where you could make up several laps due to opponent errors, breakdowns and weather conditions
I cannot emphasise how much I love endurance racing and its history

it's just that I feel our tracks are like that because we don't have the money to finish them

We also have this problem. The only complete tracks are the ones hosting international high level racing (Interlagos and Goiânia). The difference is we have hills and trees so it looks less empty.
The good thing about this is we don't need to butcher our tracks to receive F1 like in Europe.

To me, Genesis (band) has always been simply Genesis.
The book of Genesis could also be The Genesis.
It's up to spainbro to say what he meant.
