Motorsport.I like MotoGP, SBK and TT/Road Racing, but that would be a dead thread.
Sauce on music?
Finally back to Phillip Island this weekend!

This month exactly 36 years ago,Ari Vatanen is practicing in his car for the 1987 Dakar which would only be a few weeks away.
This thread is so fucking boring.I wonder if I should open the thumbnails...
>>4769972Surely it's possible to have better throttle control and still be able to accelerate efficiently, whilst minimizing wheel slip.
>>4767644Next weekend, I mean.
>>4770389This
>>4770039Maybe the madlad was having some fun.
>>4770484I'll accept that.
>>4771071Story? I don't pay attention to NASCAR.
Found this, thought it might appeal to some of youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsAv5akyi5A
>>4771091there was a spin up front, he slowed down but a guy behind didn't and crashed into him
>>4771145Oh, the driver was communicating with his team about who struck him.
>>4771142
>>4771094Very nice
>>4768708Now go through the catalog and redirect every other thread.
>>4774077>>4774089I saw this in the news, can someone give me the QRD?He knew it was a red flag right? Why didn't he know about the tractor recovering the other vehicle?
>>4775396Spaghetti dropper
>>4775088
>>4774077>>4774089I fucking hate F1 drivers. Always talking about how they're risking their lives and that what they do is so brave and deadly. F1 is safe as houses. It hasn't been dangerous for years. They'd have to try to just get injured.Only the steward was in any real danger here, and they have also been killed in the past. But all the drivers moaned and cried and bitched ad nauseum.Get back to your gay fashion photoshoots, cunts.
>>4775600In 2014 on the same track a driver was killed when he lost control in the rain and crashed into a tractor that was recovering a car. Now this guy in the vid drives like a retard past a crashed car that's being recovered even though he knows that there's a car being recovered because he drove past it on the previous lap, plus there's a safety car and a red flag so there's a speed limit which he ignored. After the race he cries about safety and makes comparisons to the 2014 crash, saying he could have been killed etc. TLDR; F1 driver refuses to take responsibility for driving like a retard in dangerous conditions
>>4768211lol what a bitch
>>4779562Kek
>>4777481based. I've never heard anyone in motogp or wsbk complain like these guys
>>4779562
This guy's reaction to having a crash is a personal favorite.
>>4777481if gasly was on the left side of the track and collided with the tractor he would have died instantly, i can understand the anger
>>4782488See>>4778566I wish he had. It would have been his own fault. And the subsequent safety regulations would have killed the sport so that it can stop raping the legacy of the real F1 racing of the past. It shares nothing but the name.But he was never in any real danger: he knew the car was there. Died instantly my ass. All the drivers still self-seriously had a "very special episode" moment to remind everyone that they are actually badass and brave, and not just performing in WWE wrestling on wheels.>>4780523Closest is Lorenzo chastising Simoncelli about risking lives, but he didn't sound like a big baby doing it, and then Simo did have his head squashed. It's shit when riders die, and even with safety improvements they still regularly come off and get fucked up. F1 drivers could never. Disfigurement would be too damaging to their modelling careers.
>>4779014>>4779015this guy is nuts. reading his book "best damn garage in town" currently.
>>4780975I think he's just seriously injured
>>4782522>Died instantly my assA driver died a few years ago from exactly that you retard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcDnyE6za9U..
>>4784820It was not exactly that, you retard. Bianchi lost control of his car, crashed into the tractor and died. Gasly was in control of his car (albeit ignoring race direction and speeding) and knew where the crashed car and tractor were. If he crashed it would have been gross negligence on his part. The common features were the presence of a tractor and the circuit where it occurred, but it was not "exactly" the same scenario.Perhaps he complained to divert attention from the fact that he put a marshal's life in danger.Nevertheless, F1 is now an engineering competition, which is fine. Standardised robots could drive the cars and alleviate all safety issues without affecting the results at all, but the professional wrestling/reality TV style facade involving the drivers is what entertains most F1 fans.Face it, friend: F1 is gay.
>>4788333 Me again.>>4784820I should add that you are right, having the recovery tractor on track with cars still circuiting in low visibility and compromised traction is obviously unsafe and should not have happened. And the drivers are understandably concerned and should publicly raise the issue. My criticism is the pantomime around it all: I just don't like the nature is which they complained. Oh-so-seriously telling punters how they heroically risk their lives every day (not verbatim, but implied), in a way that tracks with their attention seeking media training and publicity ambitions. Maybe it's a rich kid thing.So my main beef is pretty much irrational and personality based... I just think they're wankers.But F1 is an objectively worse sport and spectacle than it's glory years.

>>4770039I think if they're using period accurate tires they're inevitably going to be pretty slippy. Tire compounds have come a very long way since then.
>>4770039>>4798993https://youtu.be/OSMCfPASImQ Yellow Bird's lap of the Nürburgring is a good example, the car's almost drifting through corners just because that's what you had to do with tires back then.

>>4774089Fucking idiot gasly accelerating hard enough to spin the wheels and need countersteering as a blinding yellow light flashes ahead. Retard.This is the other side of increased driver safety - they just don't care about endangering themselves anymore. Turns out the threat of death is the only thing that can make a driver actually slow down ever.

>>4769444The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) was a sports car racing series based in the United States and Canada. It consisted of a series of endurance and sprint races, and was created in the spirit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.The American Le Mans' headquarters was in Braselton, Georgia, adjacent to Road Atlanta.In 2014, the series merged with the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series to form the imsa WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

>>4774601In 1991 Johnny Herbert won Le Mans 24 Hours driving a Mazda 787B with Volker Weidler and Bertrand Gachot. After winning the race, Herbert was so exhausted, he had collapsed almost immediately after getting out of the car and had be transported to a medical facility.“Le Mans is so draining mentally, it was a really hot day, and I’d drunk all the water in the car, so for the last hour my stomach had that horrible empty feeling – and I had [Jaguar’s] John Nielsen right behind me putting the pressure on.”“My concentration, and the gear changes, they were OK, and it wasn’t until the finish that it hit me. The closer I got to the line, I really didn’t feel well. In parc fermé I got out, stood up, felt like I’d left my body in the car, my head was so light. I wandered around the car, saw my father, sat down and collapsed into his lap. So I missed the podium, but it didn’t matter. We’d won Le Mans.”
>>4779015Innovator of working in the grey! Amazing mechanic.
>>4807235One of the greatest finishes ever that wasn't for the win!

>>4852041https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWo8VdMb8Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHFthgoCUpYThe GT2 finish at Sebring is what everyone's going to talk about for a long, long time. As the final lap began after a full 12 hours of racing, the Risi Competizione Ferrari 430GT driven by Jaime Melo held a .555-second edge over Flying Lizard's Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, which had Jorg Bergmeister behind the wheel. It was going to be Ferrari vs. Porsche in a winner-take-all 1 lap showdown, and what a show they put on.Bergmeister, running a more powerful car with fresher tires, was stalking Melo when the Ferrari locked its brakes going into the hairpin (Turn 7), letting Bergmeister and the Porsche get right on his tail. Melo was forced to simply defend against Bergmeister's onslaught, and the Porsche almost made a successful pass on the inside at Turn 10. With fireworks exploding on the horizon for the Audi, which had by now won the race, the Porsche/Ferrari duel simply became more intense.Coming out of Turn 16 and into the final straightaway, Bergmeister did get inside position, setting up a wheel-to-wheel drag race to the final turn. The SPEED coverage was magnificent, with cameras mounted on both cars, and viewers were treated to the sight of the Porsche pulling ahead, only to have the Ferrari find a little extra, taking the lead back for a moment before Bergmeister regained the lead flying into Turn 17, the last of the race.That's when it happened. Going through 17, Bergmeister, who had the inside line going into the turn, went a little wide, allowing Melo to take the Ferrari inside. As they exited, the cars were wheel-to-wheel once again, and Melo gave Bergmeister a very NASCAR-style rub, which was enough to let the Risi Ferrari shake loose and cut ahead of the Porsche for the checkered flag. It was incredible, and if this is the level of competition the 2007 ALMS season has in store for us, we couldn't be happier.
>>4852059oh shit that was intensethanks for the rundown
>>4768720Why are so many songs being covered lately that were made less than 10 years ago? Are people really out of ideas and want to rehash recent songs?

>>4777481>>4778566the marshals were retards for bringing out the tractor before the cars were in the pits/passed the accident location
>>4867625>>4869395No, they acted correctly according to procedure. You're not supposed to jump down a fire when it's blowing in your face. What if something explodes as soon as you spray the extinguisher? You're fucked then.
>>4774077>>4774089Alpha Tauri driver Pierre "the frog" Gastly was speeding during a red flag with a safety car in those conditions while they were recovering a crashed car. What pissed me off was the queer made a big deal about everybody else being in the wrong here except himself knowing that he was speeding and could have killed himself like that one driver the other anons have said died in those almost exact same conditions.
>>4849896they didnt know it was an option lol.
>>4875311Kek
>>4785354what
>>4875780the strange incident, which seems to have taken place during a regular track day, not during a race. It’s recorded on the camera of one of the drivers, who is coming up fast on the pit lane and has to brake to avoid collision with the silver Mercedes-Benz GLA blocking the road completely.The driver of the SUV, a woman by the looks of it, is trying to make a three-point turn, presumably so she can go into oncoming traffic. At this point, we could assume she had no idea which way the traffic was going before the first car stopped. Still, she continues with her efforts to turn and go the same way even after the driver of the first car gestures to her that she’s out of her mind.A second car comes to a screeching halt, at which point the first driver just waves at the woman to go in the opposite direction. After several more maneuvers (which, commenters point out, probably had nothing to do with her desire to not damage the grass on the sides), she is able to turn the SUV in the right direction. She stops at the exit of the pit lane, presumably to wait for guidance.
>>4875840The same commenters note that, while her many maneuvers point out that she’s hardly a good or skilled driver, so she probably did end up there by ignoring barriers and signs, this could be a mistake on the part of staff at the circuit. The track is closed off with fences and gates, and there are extra marshals at various checkpoints during race days, to ensure no authorized car gets onto the track. Since this seems like a regular track day, it could be that someone simply left one of the gates open, which made this poor woman see it as an invitation to drive through it.A similar incident happened in late October, when a woman in a MINI, who had taken part in a drag race on the nearby track, got lost and drove onto the track during a Mercedes race. Realizing her mistake right away, she drove to the shoulder and waited for the rescue car, later telling the media that, in her defense, she had seen no cones or signs on the way there to inform her she was about to enter the race track.
>>4875840>She stops at the exit of the pit lane, presumably to wait for guidance.well at least she did that right
