Why "No Redbull" in online NASCAR?

[x5312]

Seems to me I've noticed a number of online NASCAR races, dirty or clean, where the host has stipulated "no Redbull". Just wondering why?

Perhaps they are talking about "No Red Bull X2010s/X2011s"???

Vickers nascar "Red Bull's" are no faster than the others, although the 2010 Ford's put down faster solo times.

Nobody likes Brian Vickers...

Seriously rofl? Is he unpopular for some reason? Seems to me when I was driving mine once someone in the room was disparaging his name...

They're referring to the X2010 and X2011 cars that are F1 cars on Meth.

And every other drug in the world.

No just the Uppers lol.

As stated, it's this Red Bull that's banned. Not the NASCAR liveried ones.

Ok, so consensus seems to be coming around the reference is to the X2010 and X2011.
I just wondered aloud because I read in some forum that for breaking in NASCARS you must do the oil change before ever driving the car and the Toyotas in particular, according to the post, get a slight extra boost over others. So having done that and breaking in the car properly to achieve max power I went into the NASCAR rooms with it (Brian Vickers Camry) and for the most part the car is competitive like any other but I've noticed on two occasions where it just seems to fly past the others. On one of those occasions I actually got kicked and accused of being a hacker - which I'm not, and on the other I got kicked as well but nobody gave me any indication why...and it was a 'Dirty' race so it couldn't have been my driving.

Well he is a bit unpopular with some NASCAR fans, mostly because they can't get over this




But that has nothing to do with the X2011 hate

Reminded me why I don't bother watching NASCAR. When I flush the toilet, the turds go 'round and 'round and even occasionally crash into one another. Not saying there's no skill involved in the type of racing, just that I really don't find it that entertaining to watch.

I thought it was that we were not allowed to drink Redbull while we race.

Dirty nascar rooms run boost so it is easy to "fly" past people, people think the red bull's are faster because they are Toyota's and the gt5 comes from Japan. The 2011 Redbull is a good nascar, they all are slightly different. As looselugnuts said the 2010 fords are fastest for solo laps though.

Hands up in the air, I was just guessing...

Seeing the comments about the Red Bull referring to the X1, I can't help but wonder why the nascar room hosts don't just specify "nascar" in the room car options, to prevent any other cars being used... 💡

Hey rofl, seems you were right, in addition to the other video post above showing his notoriety, after a quick Google search I also found this:

But given the nature of NASCAR I'd be inclined to think almost every driver would find themselves in situations like that sooner or later...
