Thread: Other things to follow

    Default Other things to follow

    I follow Formula 1 racing during the summer. There is a race every two weeks and it's pretty interesting. The races are usually on ESPN or ESPN2 on Sunday mornings (depending on where they are in the world). North American races are usually on ABC.

    This weekend is the 24 hours of Le Mans on Motor trend tv. Very advanced cars with some of the tech transferred to street cars. Several years ago they showed a pit stop where they needed to change the break shoes. They did it in 35 seconds. After they did it, the car was out on the track doing over 200 mph. That's trusting your mechanic. I like the different classification of cars in the same race.

    Indy Car is on NBC most of the time. It's pretty interesting when they have a road course or street course race. When they do ovals it usually degenerates to a NASCAR race. The cars look kind of stupid though.

    NASCAR is NASCAR. Not much into that.

    You could have asked me to explain as opposed to just deleting my most pertinent post . . . they do seem to show up about anywhere these days . . . ask the Dodger’s Kershaw . . .

    NASCAR started cratering when 3 died. Then the cars became basically all the same except for the body wrap. Throw in this “stage racing” and a move towards EVs, the death of NASCAR is inevitable. I know of zero gearheads that embrace EVs.

    I can watch LeMans, different classes on the road, there’s usually something for everyone. Of course, I’m a roadster guy.

    I do not desire an explanation on drag queen races.

    If it required an explanation, you knew this and should have included it in your post.

    The fact that your post "drag queen races" came immediately after a post about drag racing (from a poster you have butted heads with 1000+'times) and one that came after a post about formula one racing, indicated that you were phishing.

    there are three basic classifications. Le Mans Hypercar , LMH,, Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), and Le Mans GTE LMGTE-AM LMH and LMP2 are built from scratch (basically) and are very fast, LMGTE-AM start out as street legal sports cars and are modified to race. All are enclosed cockpit cars.

    And they are all in the same race?

    No butting heads here. Dude has been on mute since 11-1-21, not a single reply back from me.

    Whoever posts on the CSSN SBC site, please link Jay’s post about what are the issues with La Tech on the usual “what if/what teams the SBC need to add”. I just don’t get it, most of the ones with the Joneses to add teams are the same ones that left crappy situations. Plus anyone with half a brain can see the SBC East departing in the next decade or so.
