Proposed 2018 changes

[SpeedPagan]

The only one I have a problem with is getting rid of the sharkfin. As far as I can tell, the sharkfin is actually used to keep the car grounded during a spin. Other than that I like the proposed changes.

Yes, this could be something good, but I agree, the sharkfin is to help keep the car on the ground.

Yeah ... I don't see any of this happening.

I wish......................

 

[DUN24]

It's.... it's beautiful

 

[Ford Racing]

Since they made the sharkfin clear it doesn't really bother me, but I agree about everything else.

 

[BobbyFord]

Pan out a bit and look for several more yellow flags...

Who is proposing these changes?

 

[RacerrecaR]

If they could keep the sharkfin, raise the cars off the ground by 2 or more inches, and increase horsepower I'll literally jump for joy. And I'll record it and post it on here so you can all laugh at me

 

[Mispeedway15]

No splitter! Woo

Is there a link to a story about this?

 

[sdj]

If this is true, all good!

Not real brother, I know exactly where this came from lol. It was made in response to a tweet, by a fan.

The graphic reminded me of the one produced for the upcoming Monster Energy format of NASCAR that was posted late last year. In other words, it looks to be noting more than .

The good news is the graphic is 100% accurate for 2018.

The bad news is that 100% accurate means it applies only to the #19 car.

The sharkfin was to help prevent the rear end of the car from getting loose in the turns if another car got to it's bumper. It basically helps with downforce in the turns by "collecting" more air at the rear of the car.

The added benefit is that if the car does get sideways, it also helps point it back in the right direction, kind of like a vertical stabilizer of an airplane.

No.

It's an invitation from the catch fencing.

From to with just a few scrolls of the mouse.

 

[Acs]

I know it's fake, but I like all these except the valance. From everything I've read a splitter has far less issues with dirty air than the valance did. Also, the cars survived for years without a shark fin, they will be fine with all the other safety features we now have. Also heck yes to getting air under the cars. Less downforce + more drag=slingshot passes again.

If you want to understand why NASCAR can't fix the racing, then look no further than this post. Everyone knows this is what should be done but there is no one bold enough to do it.

Yeah, at least a couple people get it.

And, I was wondering why I couldn't get a room at the Holiday Inn Express last night.....

Guess there was No Vacancy.

Motel 6 left the light on for you, but that won't help your I.Q. the next morning...

 

[AdoubleU24]

This is honestly the least they could do after forcing stage racing and playoffs onto us.

 

[R Clarence]

Whal, yanno, din think stage racin' was gonna be fun but turns out I like it.

Cain't wate fer mo gimmicks.....

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Your source is bad & you should feel bad

 

[KTMLew01]

Buddy of mine insists they run production model cars. Guess Mustang/Camero/Tundra? Since Toyota doesn't make anything like the other two. Unless I'm mistaken. Might bring back Dodge Challenger?

 

[R Clarence]

Big Shivalay fan myownself. Gonna get me one dem Cameros…

Nobody makes nuttin' like it….

 

[SlicedBread22]

That's some serious changes right there. Interesting.. is this real? Lol

 

[kd4gij]

That would kill nascar quicker then any thing else they could come up with.

No idea who you are responding to?

 

[jws926]

I knew it was faked when I could not find anything about it on Motorsports.com, but still, would be great to see it, and like always with NASCAR, since it is something that would actually make the racing better, we can rest assured that NASCAR wont ever do it

 

[ReturnTrip]

Add a 3 inch lift kit and you're good.

Your rationale?

 

[4tires17gals]

Problem is more track then car Gens of cars have had better racing at
Martinsville then Kansas.

 

[Ashstrodamus]

Bring back testing and an additional tire manufacturer.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Testing...I would actually prefer no testing unless it is for future aero/tire packages.

Additional tire manufacturer...I can get on board with that. Even multiple tire compounds per race (currently the only good thing about Formula 1) should at least be seriously considered.
