I wouldn't post shit like this, but for the conversation that's current in this thread.

This is probably some of the most transparently astroturfed shit I think I've seen from any team so far...from a team that doesn't even need that (McLaren, as the top teams go, is probably the most feminine-coded with a sensitive twink and an uwu awkward geek as drivers.)

Jesus, someone tell the admins at McLaren to delete this post.

He qualified 3rd in the first segment and its raining so hard that will probably stand since no one wants to put down any laps.

Glad I checked the thread. I forgot that was this weekend. And that Q is apparently live now.

Did a search, and sure enough it is. Here is livestream:
The announcer said it seemed to be clearing up. So not sure if improvements are on the table.

I think a bunch of channels are restreaming. Either way, its always a good race since the track is so large it can be raining on half the track and completely dry on the other half. It like Le Mans, is good background watching.

Also let's see a class win from the Dacia.
 
Funny sidenote for the 24 hoursa: there was a "all Girls" team and they are already out because one of their drivers crashed into another Porsche (who had stopped with a fire) and they won't be able to fix their car for the weekend. But to be fair to them it wasn't their fault as they seemed to have not enough time to react (at least according to the racing stewards). Here is a replay of it (and by god that Prosche driver was a retard because drivers are supposed to leave their car quickly not go back to it)

Speaking of Liberty, they recently bought MotoGP and they're now talking about introducing urban circuits to the competition, which is suicide. They don't give a rat ass about muh safety.

Talking about? The 2027 Australian MotoGP is confirmed for Adelaide, on a modified version of the old F1 GP street circuit. Old F1 circuit in red, new MotoGP circuit in black.

A number of teams will probably have their own in-car streams.

Not sure if those have external electric disconnect switches or not but he may have hoped it was safe enough to pull to stop a fire, realized better once it was hit and on fire

According to the reports I read the driver went back to his car to make the marshals come quickly to put out the burning car (kinda understandable, Imagine loosing your car to a fire right before the main event even started)

Dude was in a high adrenaline situation and made a bad judgment call
Save yourself first, then save your team, then save people around, *then* you can try to save the car, in that order

The race also attracts a lot of semipro teams, so the financial loss can completely break them for years.

Yeah this is probably the most important point. The NLS and 24 hours of the Nordschleife were for a long time events for a majority amateur and semipro teams and usually a small handful of real pros joined in. But this has changed over the last years

And to your point the Dacia was nearly comletly wrecked last year (I think it was last year) the Dacia team was saying back then that this might have been their last race because they needed a lot of money to rebuild the car
