For all the geniuses here who think that LEC head would be mush right now just because of the simple fact that ALO made contact with his halo - have you ever looked at an f1 car? The halo is out in front of the driver. If you hit the halo from the side angle (as ALO did) than by the laws of physics you have missed the…

have you read anything here? the car wasnt moving towards leclercs head, it wouldnt have hit it. The halo is over and infront of the cockpit, and had it not been there the car would have passed over the cockpit infront of the driver from right to left. watch the video.

no it would not have, it hit the front of the halo from the side, which is positioned well forward of the drivers head, and so without the halo it would have continued over the front of the cockpit area. If leclerc’s head was for some reason just bobbing a foot in front of his body then it would have hit it, but it…

Actually there is a pretty solid argument. The car’s trajectory was such that it seemed very unlikely it would have gone into the cockpit. Just because the halo is meant to protect the cockpit doesn’t mean anything that hits it was bound to enter the cockpit. This particular object in motion looks to me like it would…

wow good argument

There have always been people who get seats they dont “deserve” because of money or connections. Life’s not fair Rey. My passion for motorsports is more than you can know, at least I like it enough not to whine about whats out there as much as you. My real point is A) if he really is the scumbag you presume him to be,…

I just genuinely don’t care, and I find it more disturbing that people like this are judged by the mob, who don’t know the person and really don’t know anything except what they’re told, by the media. Like I said I’m not defending him or rooting for him, its just illustrative of how many people out there have little…

maybe so, but if a team wants to give him a chance maybe they know something you don’t. We’ll see what kind of person he is with time. I’m an advocate of second chances, and more importantly growing up. I’m not saying the kid does not need to step up his game significantly, but lets be real here, this is a story…

so the fact that many of the drivers in IMSA are factory paid pros, former le mans winners, and in the case of GTLM they are literally the fastest GT cars on the planet constitutes “minor league” you? Also you’ve conveniently omitted the WEC years I’ve referenced from your rebuttal, which was probably the best racing…

you must have missed VIR today, or any WEC race from 2014-2016, or virtually any running of the n24, bathurst, etc etc

do another article about how awesomer IMSA was today those tickle my fancy

can we calm down about this? the media is just looking to stir up things, plenty of people cough Sebastien Vettel have done similar

So telling to me that whenever any team does a promotional event they use a V8 even though its been since 2013

There’s a lot of tracks around the world with some precarious marshall posts where head on/sharp angle impacts are a real possibility. I wouldn’t have expected Spa to be one of those though considering its not only gone through all the safety-feature hoops to be FIA grade-1, but that it of course continues to host F1…

I’m fine with this. Seems to be the one thing NASCAR gets right. Track limits should be just that. Other series should take note.

I think its an easy decision...

yeah they really dont make it simple do they? my advice, Get yourself a free VPN service, activate it so you can access www.imsa.tv from a european server, and you’re all set.

Its amazing how good endurance racing can be when you just get out of the way and let them race. You’d think endurance racing would be boring on paper but then its routinley amazing like this, I don’t understand why it isn’t at least as popular as F1, it certainly used to be right up there. Enzo Ferrari cared more…

so now its an “Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Honda Tag Heuer” ?

This is exactly why we need a convergence of regulations... Yes sadly IMSA and Le Mans have had different regulations now for some time, so you won’t see most IMSA prototype teams there unless the chose another car.
