Actually, those vents are functional. Helps vent excess brake heat...

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were being serious.

This is a common occurence, nothing special about the cars crashing into a tyre barrier because they aquaplaned.

Looks more like the SECOND fastest car in Qualifying... judging from the header GIF... Lol

it’s EXACTLY like Petit Le Mans right now... really rainy. but unfortunately for the GTE cars, ain’t no getting past those LMPs... As stated before when the Rolex Grand Am Series and ALMS merged, the P1 and P2 classes were lots faster than the Daytona Prototypes and a Balance of Power was introduced.

Pilet, who won the…

I don’t see what the big deal is about being under Tecpro barriers, aren’t they essentially high-density foam and plastic barriers?

At least it wasn’t an armco barrier like what happened to that guy at Watkins Glen back in 1975 or thereabouts, where the driver was Decapitated.

I do wish these were posted on Fridays rather than Saturdays. Because of time zone differences. If an American wanted to watch the Bathurst 1000, there’s a +15 hour time difference versus the US East Coast...

Which “New” American Godzilla? The 1998 one or the new chubby fattie? The 1998 Godzilla was derided so badly by the Japanese that Toho bought the rights to him JUST to have Japanese Godzilla ray blast American Godzilla to kingdom come.

This is a good Kinja.

Is this the actual race?! WTF, man, I wanna watch!!

Obviously they are different Numbers, as well as those numbers being used for specific races. #51 was sponsored by PlayStation and used for the 2000 24 Hours of Le Mans, while the #91 was sponsored by “Your Friendly Dodge Dealers” and used for the 2000 Daytona 24 Hours. Both numbers had the same drivers, Olivier…

There is a race car version of the current Fiat 500 called Fiat 500 Assetto Corse, so you’re partially right. But yeah the “game” itself is called Assetto Corsa.

Or Donald Trump soiling his pants.

I liked SimRaceWay but it seems to have gone (or is in the process of going) the way of the dodo.

I miss the old Jalopnik logo... Please bring it back :( lol

Theoretically, Forza COULD laser-scan that Audi and just blank that windshield banner out. After all, Gran Turismo is just a series sponsor, just like Blancpain is series sponsor of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series. It’s not like GT owns the actual cars, the teams do. The teams can choose who can scan them and use…

Damn! That’s scary as heck. I’ve just done a 26-lap race of Bathurst on Forza 6. It is a very challenging course, even in video games. On my lap 3, i got a tire into the grass and lost it after the 2nd-to-last corner, overcorrected and spun 180* before i spun back around the way i came (spun anticlockwise then…

the GTLM cars led at several points during the course of the race. So your claim that they only did it to get headlines is stupid. the GTLM cars being in the top 5 for most of the race while Prototypes left and right flew off the course; a few GTs did too, but not as many incidents as the Prototypes.

I don’t agree. For one thing, the #911 was in the lead at several points during the race. Mostly during caution periods. But even if the race HADN’T been called two hours early, the mere FACT that Tandy/Pilet were even IN the TOP 5 overall through the majority of the race (including the few green flag periods) is an…

That scene depicted was in the Arecibo Telescope scene just as the telescope comes crashing down through the hideout. *IIRC
