Rossi and Lorenzo had an argument on post race press conference (Motorsport)
Video

 

[Business]

That was a bit of a silly discussion.

 

[TJP]

Once more Dani comes across as a normal guy while others around him have handbags at twenty paces.

From GPOne.com

From what I saw, it was a typical Rossi hard pass; slightly dodgy but nothing that any of the guys I grew up watching would batter an eyelid at. That said, the only people qualified to make comment are the riders who were a part of it.

 

[Business]

Well... Dani had his own share of trouble with Lorenzo in the past, these days not fighting for wins makes it easier to avoid confrontation.

Personally I think it was hard but that's it, Lorenzo shouldn't complian.

 

[DD]

LOL

From another angle.

 

[Mobius 1]

I'm here at Austin 6h, it's about to start. It's fucking hot goddamn

 

[Hackbert]

could anyone be so nice to direct me towards a livestream for the WEC race? would be great

edit: oha, eurosport is showing it for free

 

[dubc35]

Fyi, there is a WEC thread

PS, just noticed a mod took out the year from the thread title, thank you!

MotoGP to issue fines for offensive hand gestures

lols

Need my MotoGP fix, watching qualifying.

Aragon looks like a pretty nice track.

I love the giant rock wall. It's a good track, designed with bikes in mind so lots of corners with multiple lines.

Apparently it's cooler than all weekend, might be Suzuki time then.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

I really love this track, Alcañiz circuit is awesome.

The inverted corkscrew, the rock wall and the design of the track is fantastic for the race

 

[nature boy]

Great Marquez victory, Rossi gambled but it didn't work. Had nothing to lose.

Marquez leads with over 50 points in hand.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

That is a really wet rallycross track. There should be some entertaining racing.

World Endurance Championship team Rebellion Racing has confirmed it will switch from the privateer LMP1 class to LMP2 competition for 2017.

PSA: Bathurst 1000 is this weekend.

Member when SPEED broadcast the Bathurst 1000 LIVE in the United States?

 

[Shaneus]

Channel 10 are also broadcasting a biopic on Peter Brock this weekend, too. I'm sure it'll be up on torrent sites soon enough, given how unlikely it is to ever be shown/broadcast outside of Australia.

 

[Mush]

Fans out side of Aus/NZ can watch with Superview if y'all are interested.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if it's any good or not.

 

[bobnowhere]

They are already running very fast this weekend, though to put the times in perspective they are still about 3 seconds slower than the GT guys from the 12 hour earlier in the year.

 

[Mush]

Fucking Whingecup.

 

[bobnowhere]

Fucking Whingecup.

He truly is a magician. Knocks 1st place off and somehow comes through with his two rivals out and him about to win.

Edit: Nope! 15 second penalty added to his time.

 

[Mush]

SWEET JUSTICE

 

[bobnowhere]

Lols, Davidson wins without leading a single lap, not even the last!

 

[Mush]

And now RB are appealing the penalty given to Whincup.

Unfuckingbeliveable.

Red Bull gives you Whinge

Red Bull gives you Whinge

I'm sure he wasn't this bad when he was driving a Ford. Meaning that he wasn't this bad a number of years ago. But maybe he was.

Horrible accident at the Rally Legend 2016 San Marino. One person dead, at least eight injured.

Fuck...

I don't understand why people stay in these places (and why the organizes still let them stay there). I mean, you probably won't be able to outrun a race car out of control.

 

[Psychotext]

In fairness, pretty much anywhere near a rally course is dangerous... but yeah, they should never have people head on at the end of a braking zone.

 

[DrM]

AMuS is speculating that Audi could end their LMP1 program after 2017 season

 

[Mastah]

Lots of crashes at Motegi today unfortunately Pedrosa with fractured collarbone and he's out, Laverty taken by heli to hospital for cranial CT scan and Moto2 title challenger Rins also probably out of this weekend with collarbone or wrist injury.

 

[Business]

Worst high side I've seen in a good while.

 

[bobnowhere]

Lol-renzo.

Marques World Champ 2016.

 

[Mastah]

Completely deserved, he was masterclass this year.

 

[Business]

Definitely the quickest guy out there these days. With Lorenzo to Ducati and Rossi even older, let's hope Maverick can put up a fight next year.

 

[Mastah]

Absolutely fantastic stuff at Fuji right now. 30 minutes to go, 12 seconds between Kobayashi on old tyres and Duval and Webber on newer sets.

 

[bobnowhere]

2 laps ago the commentators said that it would cool and that's what caused Marques' crash in 2014. Deja vu all over again. Now Cal will fall off as well.

 

[Mastah]

First time I've missed Moto3 or Moto2 race since 4 or 5 years :/ Damn double F1 and MotoGP weekends with American/Australian-Asian time zones and me being European fan, lol.

Fingers crossed for Cal, I definitely don't want to see repeat of 2014 by him

 

[bobnowhere]

Cal!

Great rides from Rossi and Mav after their qualifying shockers. Lorenzo largely anonymous.

 

[Mastah]

Yep, all guys on the podium rode fantastic race, but what a performance by Cal this weekend. I'm super happy for him

 

[Business]

What an incredible second half of the season for Cal.

Honda really stepped up their game as the season progressed.

 

[Chris R]

Holy shit Talladega is huge

edit: Awesome day, pretty good race too. Bummed there wasn't a big one, but two guys losing engines and the whole chase format basically had only a single driver with anything to gain or lose from winning.

 

[Jezbollah]

Cal has outscored everyone in MotoGP except for Marquez since the German GP (121 vs 128pts)

Audi terminating WEC LMP1 programme at the end of the season

 

[xrnzaaas]

Well since Porsche joined WEC LMP1 I was waiting for this announcement to happen. The successes will stay in the VAG family.

 

[dubc35]

It's not unexpected but still a big blow to WEC and Le Mans; end of an era.

 

[B.K.]

NASCAR is finally limiting Cup drivers in the Xfinity and Truck Series starting in 2017.

Drivers with 5+ years fulltime experience in the Cup Series can only drive 10 races in the Xfinity Series and 7 races in the Truck Series.

Drivers with 5+ years experience in the Cup Series are completely banned from the final eight races of the Xfinity and Truck Series. Those eight races are the final regular race and the seven race Chase for each series.

Drivers with 5+ years experience in the Cup Series are banned from Dash 4 Cash races in the Xfinity Series.

Knew this was coming, but:



Hopefully somebody else joins the LMP1 party to fill the void.

LMP1 class was getting so interesting, but now we lost Rebellion and now Audi. What a shame... =/
