2014 United Sports Car Championship

4 whole minutes of green flag coverage and time for more commercials,thanks for very little fox.

Yet hardly any commercials during yellow.... Fuuuu.

 

[G.T.Ace]

What does the fox say?



"We're right back after this..."

EDIT: MotorsTV is doing 2-3 breaks per hour and they're just commercials for their own channel.

You'd think market research would show that playing the same commercials over and over to the same people watching the same show just makes us start to hate their products, and refuse to buy them out of spite. Great advertising strategy.

The OAK Morgan has dropped a load of laps, looks like the one LMP2 hope is out of contention

Shame, now my favourite is gone I want either of the Ganassi's to win, or even better finish 1-2

Highlight of broadcast on FS2: corvette commercial.

It was on for longer than anything else anyway.

I just flip to a Motors TV stream when Fox goes to a commercial break.

Does anyone know why some racecars shake when driving very slowly? It kind of sound like drivetrain wind-up.

Wheel hop?

Wheel hop?

It seems like they do it in straight lines too. I could be wrong though

 

[MLDoom]

I have a feeling that Corvette is trying to push the Porsche in front of it to test their reliability. Based on their onboard video it doesn't look like the no. 3 corvette doesn't want to pass the Porsche. It's an interesting strategy.

I remember at Britcar's snetterton round in 2012, there was a Mosler that was jolting and sounded horrid in the pits. Not sure why.

Maybe the slow speed is not enough pressure/downforce to keep the body from shaking....???

 

[G.T.Ace]

Could be the limiter no?

 

[RACECAR]

Kyle Larson now getting in. First a controversial finish at the Battle on the beach, then a rather exciting Nationwide race and now his first Rolex 24. That kid has had nothing but interesting times at Daytona.

That's what I believe it was at Snetterton with the Mosler, I thought @PsuPepperoni was referring to something happening on track. If it was in the pits it was probably the limiter.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

from 0:14 to the race start is what I'm talking about... mostly under deceleration

I ask because the #911 Porsche was doing it a lot after the red flag

Transmission flex.

Kyle Larson showing his inexperience, stalling and speeding.

MotorsTV? I've never heard of them. Do they have an online stream?

Yeah, not great out lap though, stalls, then speeds.. Come back Montoya.. all is forgiven!!!

Not officially nope. 8(

IMHO: some race cars shake when driving slowly because the springs are too stiff to flex over minor bumps. As the car achieves race speeds, loads are generated which make the springs flex and the dampers become active.

Think EU version of SPEED. Except they still exist. Been going around 10 years.

Is there really no better way of dealing with an off-line tire carcass than a full course caution? And right before the first points pay out too...

But it seems to be rythmic, something to do with drivetrain rather than bumps here and there on the course. And Daytona is fairly clean of minor bumps.

Code 60 would have done the job fine, not that they use it in this series.

That is an incredibly busy part of the track, no way a marshal could have got the tire out of the way safely. With no code 60 in this series, the full course caution was the only way to go. I'd rather a caution than a marshal getting hit by a car, or that tire carcass hitting a P2/PC driver in the head. Safety first.
