I think this thread has already exhausted most of the Road America races, but no problem in revisiting them! One of my favorite races, because it's so positively batshit insane, is the 1996 CART race at Road America. The start crash, Greg Moore's wild ride followed by Davy Jones flipping under cauti...
EDIT: And what the fuck? Didn't want a night race? Why? Scared no one will watch? Yeah, but a Saturday afternoon race in the middle of summer is a slam dunk for viewership right? Fucking idiots.
NASCAR's banking on a bang-bang finish. They probably don't care about what happens on lap 20, they just care that they'll have a GWC finish, someone will pass someone on the last lap, and everyone will be on the edge of their seat. Expect a late caution.
It's crazy how inept NASCAR is at trying to make the racing better. They only make it worse. Don't they have anyone working for their R&D that has a clue? It's like a 12 year old playing with the NR2003 ini files but doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Eventually he fucks it up enough where a ...
Other than Truex's win at Pocono every race has been won by a Penske, Hendricks, SHR and Gibbs entries . Real healthy sport. FUCK YOU NASCAR. That accounts for 13 cars and drivers. The idea that the underfunded/small teams are going to compete for wins each week is ludicrous in a sport where a budg...
Thing is, today all the tricks are known and so a little gain in some area has a giant advantage. Finding that little gain requires vast amounts of resources that only the best teams can afford. In the old days, a little team could hit upon something and it would be a real advantage for a while or e...
Nice to see Grosjean on the podium, even though he did get lucky with Vettel popping the RR. Also nice to see Perez running decently. Grosjean wasn't just lucky? He was faster and made sure that Vettel had to push to the end with worn tyres. If it wasn't for Grosjean pushing, Vettel would have crui...
hearing that it is starting to rain harder at Springfield, hopefully they can get it in today with it being televised It misted for awhile before raining pretty good for a few minutes. They're grading the track now and should be set by race time. Next on track activity will be the race. Sun is also...
I'm not a fan of the closed-cockpit system, but if there's a way to implement them safely while simultaneously let safety workers tend to the wrecked driver in a quick and precise manner, I'm for it.
Well...I believe this may raise a new debate on closed cockpits....remember this Penske? Not 100% closed but quite safe IMO. http://8w.forix.com/pc23-500i/ef-ind89.jpg I really like that approach. It still looks like a proper Indycar. As long as the cover is quick-connect, the driver could still ge...
