The cost to play in the DPi category is so low relative to other top tier forms of motorsports it’s a smart marketing play if you want to convey the sporty image. I agree, Mazda’s these days don’t have a big loud pedal but they are spirited and I am grateful Mazda as well as other manufacturers are still investing in…

Agreed. Most of these races are avoidable until the last 50 laps. People need to remember these are truly treated as endurance races. Its not an all out sprint. Its the nature of the race. The 5 fastest cars all year rose to the top and filled out the top 5. I thought that last fuel run was very entertaining.

Neutral: I dig it. I swore I was RWD 4 DR SEDAN 4 LYF BRO. While my ATS was getting fixed, I had an XT5 for a few days. It was a really nice place to sit and commute while the peasants in their accents and cruze’s fought among themselves. Everything was soft to the touch, comfortable, ride was wonderful while having…

Awesome move Mazda. Mazda 6 was on the fringe of my shopping list. Not its right at the top. Style, Room, and now with power. Bravo. I hope it will be available by June 2018.

GT3 isn’t far behind. Manufacturer involvement has skyrocketed (As Lionzoo pointed out) and now teams are dropping back to GT4. We’re takin crazy pills!

Nail. On. Head.

The youngest form of karting starts at 5 years old. It is called a Kid Kart class. They use shorter and smaller chassis, with a small 50cc Comer engine or a severely restricted Briggs and Stratton LO206 engine. They top out around 30 mph. They are designed to teach kids the basic skills needed to race. They can crash…

I agreed with you. Ultimately, this will do nothing to improve the competition and the show on track. An equal revenue share (which I believe they are making a good first step toward) will do more than limiting the number of engines. Teams have gotten real good at spending $200+ million a year. They will continue to…

Ideally, yes. However, I think we need to swap out *higher quality for *simplified or *more reliable engines. They already use exotic metals and leading edge engineering concepts and manufacturing processes. But as some others have stated, there is a fine line between fast and reliable. With the current rule set, it…

Straya!

*puts on tinfoil hat* What you are outlining is reeealllyyyy tricky. Nascar has a history of interpreting the rules how they see fit. Examples being the year the Waltrip team wrecked to cause a caution and NASCAR came up with a penalty that just so magically got Jeff Gordon into the chase (we always want our super…

They have made threats before, but the closest they came to following through was the Ferrari 637. Pretty interesting on how it came about. It also came to be due to Enzo’s displeasure with F1 changing the engine regs.

Pretty sporty lap considering it was a non-professional at the end of an tiring track day. Im heading to the gas station to buy some lotto tickets. I need this.

Look at Brawn GP. No manufacturer on the side of their car, but they came up with the slick diffuser and they were out in front!

Agreed, it is part of the sex appeal. The coming-to-light of the Mercedes engine package, the oil burn, F ducts versus S Ducts, Long wheel base vs shorter wheel base. This is all part of the appeal. I can understand reigning in the power plant costs by ditching the MGU-H. Frankly it didn’t do much for me. Driver…

I for one have enjoyed the hell out of the recent Texas races.

That is disappointing to hear. I have never been in person, good to know.

If Limerock Park didn’t have the problem regarding racing on Sunday’s, it would be an excellent circuit for the big heavy stock cars. Short enough to prevent 2 minute lap times, tight enough to cause some rubbin, but not enough that you have safety concerns. It would be awesome! Even if V8 Supercars could make another…

You should switch to boxers, you’re a little uptight. Simply having a light-hearted banter. If that car is anywhere NEAR production form they would never have hacked together panels on it. You started with a joke, don’t be the fun police and decide when others can stop running with the exaggeration. I was just simply…

I think if the date was earlier on the calendar, it would draw a bigger crowd. After IMSA and NASCAR, upstate NY might have had their fill. I believe the forecast kept people away as well.
