Of course they do, and sometimes it does. Most drivers wont retaliate on tracks over a mile in length, they wait for the short tracks for "payback." It's how it's work from the local level on up since the beginning of time.

There are no penalties. This is stock car racing, and this stuff happens from the local level all the way up. Always has and always will. Its an accepted part of the sport.

Calling Harraka a "racer" is a bit of a stretch...

Hearing from people that were there, he never even attempted to turn, which probably means it was a medical issue, rather than driver error.

The rules in the WEC and ALMS are both drawn up by the ACO, and when the rotary P2 car ran, the ALMS was ran by the letter to ACO rules. Currently, the ALMS basis their rules on ACO stuff, then modifies it to suit their needs. The FiA may sanction the WEC, but the car rules are all done by the ACO.

Thing is, I actually really like rotaries. Just hate this myth.

This seems all jerky because I'm on my phone, I'm not used to typing out long, coherent paragraphs on it, so I apologize for that.

I would say the car no longer fit the rules, which happens all the time. New ruleset means all the previous cars aren't eligible, regardless of how they're powered. The rotary was not banned, Group C cars of all forms were made ineligible. Hell, Mazda showed up with a 3.5l car the next year, based on the prettiest…

Rotories weren't banned. Stop spewing that nonsense and actually learn the facts behind it. 1991 was the first year of the 3.5l formula, which was designed to be formula one with fenders and canopies. Only like six showed up and the ACO allowed old group c cars to run one more year. The worst offenders of this myth…

Except that wouldn't be legal at all for btcc competition.

See how well that goes over at the top of the mountain in October.

Aussies are just as bad.

Don't be surprised if Robert Dahlgren replaces Alexandre Premat on the team.

Am I the only person who really doesn't give a shit what he does with his money?

That's unfortunate, because no one is going to buy a new xbox one.

You mean Tanner Foust, the man who has won multiple European rallycross championship events beating drivers like Petter Solberg? Yeah, those drifting guys sure will beat him. Hell, Tanner himself is a two time formula drift champion.

Beamers are motorcycles.

No they're not. They're "Modified Stock Cars." Which we today call Modifieds, which race in the Whelen Modified Tour..

Toyota needs to put some tire shine on those tires. They're press shots and the tires look brown. Poor form.

Rusty Wallace tested an unrestricted cup car at Talladega a few years back. It was doing 228 round there. And that was ten years ago.
