May 3, 20241 yr Author Another double weekend in sports cars with IMSA at Laguna Seca and WEC at Spa on the 11th and 12th. IMSA Laguna Seca entry list https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/34-entries-for-laguna-seca/ Edited May 3, 20241 yr by elfenix
May 3, 20241 yr The son of my good friends is racing in FR Americas at Laguna Seca this weekend, check it out if you can. Usually at least some of it gets streamed on YouTube through Speedtour. https://ryanshehan.com/
May 3, 20241 yr On 3/18/2024 at 5:52 AM, Hawndoh said: The Ferrari Challenge has been around since the 90s. All Ferrari race, not the prototypes or anything, just actual Ferraris. Lots of owner-drivers, etc. was originally created to give Ferrari owners a chance to race their cars. Lamborghini and Porsche have their own similar series. They all fall under the IMSA banner. Yeah, you wanna see a whole bunch of torn up Ferraris - go to a Ferrari Challenge weekend. Pure carnage.

Every time they smash into one another, I just can't help but think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars coming out of private pockets. They can afford it, I guess, but nevertheless it causes me great pain and consternation on their behalf.

Yeah the guys out at Cotton Bowl and Heart of Texas care more about their cars than those dudes do. It's crazy.

May 11, 20241 yr Author motortrend app was supposed to keep having WEC but i sure as fuck can't find it there. the races get posted on youtube a week in arrears so fuck paying $20 for max + b/r add on.
May 31, 20241 yr Author imsa at detroit with indycar this weekend, GTP and GTD Pro cars only on the tight streets of downtown detroit. first time out for these cars at this track. qualifying is at 3:40 pm today and the race goes green at 3:10 pm tomorrow. Quote The idea of a new racetrack is both exciting and daunting. Especially when the schedule is tight — three-and-a-half hours of testing before qualifying in the case of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s first visit to the 1.654-mile, nine-turn downtown street circuit — there’s not a lot of time to get acclimated, to set up the car, and find the right references for a consistent, fast lap. https://racer.com/2024/05/30/imsa-drivers-ready-to-race-into-the-unknown-on-detroits-streets/ Edited May 31, 20241 yr by elfenix

June 1, 20241 yr Author this is a dumb tiny ugly narrow bumpy go kart track but turn 3 makes for more overtakes for the lead than a season of F1. Edited June 1, 20241 yr by elfenix

June 15, 20241 yr Not quite 4 hours in but it sure seems like the Porsche cars have nothing to bring in a fight with the Ferraris.
June 15, 20241 yr When the French lady pit lane reporter interviews Koboyashi I have to feel for whoever is doing the English live closed captioning. Between the two of them I think I caught about 10% of that.
June 15, 20241 yr LMAO DeVries. That guy is such a fucking joke. He probably should have stuck with the slow Formula E cars. Edited June 15, 20241 yr by wood

June 15, 20241 yr Author not having an intermediate is leading to interesting strategy calls, at least.
June 15, 20241 yr Possible big penalty upcoming for the race leader??? That was a bit sloppy Ohhhh first safety car
June 15, 20241 yr The #5 Penske has made the worst tire calls at least twice now. The Toyotas and the 83 Ferrari have done well.
June 16, 20241 yr Author wetter than south austin's mom right now this safety car period is so long they're now needing to pit Edited June 16, 20241 yr by elfenix
June 16, 20241 yr The 83, after being so strong looks to be dead. Some kind of hybrid electrical problem.

June 16, 20241 yr Ho Lee Fuk, a Jardiance dancing fat people commercial during the break. It was the new dancing gal, not the short-round gal.
