So 75 laps only for light but we go OT?

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:18 (Ref:4166423)

Yeah, that's what we need, GWC. Thanks Bubba

Hey, how dare you bring logic here sir

Im baffled. First weekend in the car and hes doing this. The talent is unreal.

Still has to survive the GWC though!

I don't know if he asked for softer rear or sway bar or just his heel-toe but the rear just doesn't hop so he's hitting the apex on the throttle instead of brakes and ready to go on his own. But he's definitely seeing the track and setting the car better for the rough course

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:23 (Ref:4166426)

Chance for Chase to use the chrome fiber horn?

Probably not, those tires are OLD behind him

How many GWC we betting on? Doubt they can do 3 but can they make it a lap now without a wreck?

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:27 (Ref:4166427)

Well I was definitely wrong, or maybe they have dinner reservations and everyone wants their steak dinner

fieldodreams79 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:29 (Ref:4166428)

That's f--king awesome!!

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:31 (Ref:4166430)

And Chevy crushed it today didn't they 1-5.

And NZ now takes Monday off en masse after that, or guessing a beers hoisted for Monday lunch

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:32 (Ref:4166431)

I think they gotta try to put him back in for the remaining 3 road courses if he can make it

The Bend round conflicts with Glen, and Bathurst the Roval so no

fieldodreams79 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:33 (Ref:4166432)

It took them the whole race, but they finally got his name right!

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:37 (Ref:4166433)

They really really wanted to add that N in there didn't they. Must be a lot of Supreme Court fans and RBG fans

fieldodreams79 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:38 (Ref:4166434)

SVG said he went full send on some. Freaking awesome. I wish NBC showed from 18th to 3rd, but I guess I'll take what they showed me. Incredible. I hope someone puts together a video of it.

Chase just said that SVG "gonna go home and tell his friends how bad we are".

v8supes · 3 Jul 2023, 01:39 (Ref:4166435)

An incredible job, very special performance. Didnt make a single mistake either.

I actually quite enjoyed the circuit i have to be honest. On paper it looked terrible but i dont think it was too bad.

broadrun96 · 3 Jul 2023, 01:42 (Ref:4166437)

And he's the size of a normal human male instead of a jockey.

Yeah Haley it was the 16 lap fresher tires and not his skill

And trying to burn the tires off it cause you don't need them any more

rustyfan · 3 Jul 2023, 01:43 (Ref:4166438)

Great race and great to see SVG grab the win!

The track exceeded my expectations. I hope it's not a one-off and I also hope NASCAR adds more street circuits in the future.

Agree, it improved and the Cup guys did a better job of it when with the damp. Think it's put that idea in nascar's mind to try another so guess we keep looking for the next iRace city track they build

Having just watched basically 7ish hours of racing today, Mid-Ohio, Austria then Chicago I think I have to say the Cup race was the best of the three. None were terrible, Mid-Ohio maybe a bit meh and Austria well F1ey but not bad, but this was fun and truly interesting as to who would survive. And the 75 lap limit changed it some and would have rather had the leading pack pit and then they made the call to shorten but in the end that guy made it through anyway.

I caught a bit of MRN and they had it down correct. Professionals, they are.

Edit - just saw this

Going forward what it means IDK but it was the coolest race I've seen in years for the Cup series. It still had some questionable "race control" calls but fun stuff.

broadrun96 · 4 Jul 2023, 02:37 (Ref:4166611)

It's very weird to see in motorsports folks have such a huge variance in his the race was received compared to "mainline" media. Most of the papers made it sound like the race was a total waste and prolly received, motorsport writers all seem like it was well received by all parties.

I'm hoping it becomes a thing, it seems they can get both sides of fans in the gates. Fancy pants folks get to stay at fancy places and have good suites to watch, and the rest of us can watch from fences and stands. Could be good for Nascar but not so good for tracks

The Giz is available for 2024 IF he gets a seat:

His Red Bull/888 team have confirmed they wont stop him, despite his current contract.

broadrun96 · 4 Jul 2023, 14:53 (Ref:4166703)

Doesn't his wife have some ownership interest in the team? If true would be fun dinner conversation leaving. And it was rumored his contact only limits another Supercars team, leave the series and he's free and clear
