    Would you rather the old way or the chase playoffs?

    Before the playoff system the championship was usually down to a couple drivers by September. The first playoff system - you were out after one bad race. The current system mimics a the playoff systems used by other sports and I find it more entertaining.

    Racing with Giants: Porche at Le Mans

    The History channel had a program about Porche's history at Le Mans. I missed the first half of the program so I'll be looking for a replay. Porche has had a long and winning history at Le Mans. It was fun seeing historic video and hear from many of the drivers. I became impressed with...

    2023 Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America

    The Indy race was better than the F1 race. I watched the Indy race and checked the F1 race for the start and a couple times during Indy commercials (the F1 presentation was weird, the race in a window with some guys in smaller windows shooting the breeze). There was a lot going on in the Indy...

    24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary

    I like the idea of having the cars with a feature to limit the top speed when in caution areas, all the cars maintain their position. But I don't understand the rules for giving a lap back or moving cars around.

    24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary

    I was looking for live timing and scoring on the LeMans site and what I found blanked my screen (had to reboot). Is there a site that shows the current scoring? I'd like to check how various teams are doing.

    How many of you were around to see this

    I recognize most of the names. And based on Elliot's speed I think it was for the Talladega race.

    NASCAR at LeMans

    I'm curious what the other teams think about the NASCAR. How does the air from a large car affect the field?

    NASCAR at LeMans

    I'm looking forward to see how the NACSCAR platform performs this weekend. I figure the car has had controlled testing with simulation equipment plus a lot of real world testing via weekly races with 40 cars. I figure the Garage 56 car is based of the Cup car with changes teams dream of...

    Chicago - 2023

    I'm not a fan of street courses, They are usually concrete canyons where the driver can't see around a corner. The Chicago track looks a little interesting (not sure how narrow the track is). I'm guessing a pass will involve trading paint.

    F1 2023 Spanish GP thread

    I think qualifying is more exciting than the race, Red Bull doesn't win the pole until the last few minutes.

    Cup RACE thread ---- Gateway 2023

    The #8 team had it dialed in. The #5 team fixed their car during the race - again. The #34 team showed everyone how to work two tires.

    Rate the Race - 107th Indianapolis 500

    9 I thought the last red flag was unnecessary but on the flip side, Newgarden's celebration in the stands was pretty cool.

    Virtual Safety Car

    I understand that the F1 virtual safety car means drivers must reduce their speed to some percentage. I'm wondering how officials enforce it. I can't believe a driver can run the proper speed on their own (they would be tempted to fudge the speed). Is there a car feature that limits the...

    Darlington Pre-Race & Throwbacks

    I like the throwback race. I've been following NASCAR long enough to recognize most of the throwback paint jobs.

    Cup RACE thread --- Dover on a Monday

    I noticed a few lapped cars made it harder for Ross to pass during the end of the race. I think some drivers experienced Ross' rough driving and drivers have long memories.

    Tony Stewart Has Some Strong Opinions on NASCAR

    Very good interview.

    What 25 drivers do you add to make the 75 Greatest Nascar Drivers for the 75th anniversary?

    I think if a driver still has a ride when they are 40 years old they probably qualify.

    Bonehead of the Week: Talladega

    Bubba made a second move to block and that doesn't work, but that as the only move he had if he wanted a chance to win. Tony pointed out both drivers did what they had to do - it is the nature of super speedways.

    Martinsville Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    I picked up a package of hot dogs - probably not as good as the Martiansville dogs but I've got the spirit (and toppings).

    What kind of car do you drive?

    I recently sold my 2011 Hyundai Genesis, a performance luxury sedan with a rear wheel drive and a V8 (I bought it used). I had no problems for over 10 years but the E-brake module failed last fall and it took 2-1/2 months to get a really expensive replacement part. So I bought a new Nissan...
