Subaru is already very involved. Not only is SRTUSA a full factory team, but Subaru sponsors Rally America directly and offers two forms of financial support to competitors. They pay half the entry fee for the first 10(?) paid Subaru entries to each rally, and provide contingency money to the top finishing Subaru…

Rally America radio is still going strong. Live-text updates are something RA and the individual rallies have been working on. RA does try to use their Twitter to send out top-5’s and retirements as often as possible, which usually means at the end of each loop when cars return to service. They’d like to be able to…

“I'll take two!"

Rally is a tough platform to monetize. Can’t broadcast the entire thing live, fans at the event will only see each car (and said sponsors on the car) for about a minute over the course of the day, most spectating is free so there’s no money to be made of tickets. They’re finally on the right track now that they’ve…

What, no formula truck love?

Formula E is lame. The cars are hilariously slow, ugly, and the car swapping is dumb, but the drivers list is full of good drivers. A lot of them didn’t go far in F1, but a lot of them actually got there which is a huge accomplishment in its own right. A lot of those drivers who couldn’t hack it in F1 are driving LMPs…

You know why Spec Miata is only watched by Families and Teams of Drivers?

Desert racing?

I think we can all agree that the best solution would be to replace the migrant slaves with Duggars to build the World Cup stadiums.

“He’s not sharing the ball!” mewl the dudes who, in all other arenas of life, think the word “sharing” is a euphemism for “dirty, godless Communism”

Last year’s quali was officially listed as wet, FYI. Qualifying record (sportscars obviously) was set the year prior at a 1:58+, so this is 4 seconds faster, but still...

The current prototypes are actually faster than Group C cars (except for the ones with 3.5L engines).

“before the ACO reigns in the speeds next year.”

Does anyone else feel like Christmas is coming in June this year?

This Dutchman:

Toyota MR2 with 1940-vintage 540-cubic-inch, five-cylinder Kinner radial aircraft engine

They have five weeks until the 24h race. It's impossible to come up with a fix for the aerodynamics in that time, the ACO has worked on the aero safety of LMPs for several years, and you are talking about a class that has no rules at all, wich makes it even harder, so there are only three options:

You've already done more engineering and aerodynamicizing in that post than I've done in my life. Needless to say, everything you wrote makes sense to me but I have no idea if it's actually correct.

The point of the BBCOR wasn't to keep the balls from trampolining into the stratosphere. They were fine with that. It was to keep the balls from trampolining into the pitchers skull.

As for outrage about "Why ban GT3 cars?" this is a good first step until everybody who needs to know understands exactly
