NASCAR had its closest finish in Cup Series history last night. Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher by .001 seconds. Two of the four closest finishes in series history have occurred this season.

 

So apparently Trump stopped by the McLaren garage this past weekend and spoke with the team and took photos. That team is now dead to me

 

The hybrid Indy cars will make their debut at mid Ohio

 

They have to get rid of Monaco from the F1 calendar; absolute trash of a "race".

 

Indy 500 has had like 4 cautions already and it’s not even 60 laps in

 

First back to back winner at the Indy 500 in 20 years

 

I hate Newgarden so much.

 

I get the history of it but these cars can't pass there and the cars are just getting bigger. Two passes the whole race is just pathetic. I believe I read that the last on track pass for the lead was 1996.

 

Meanwhile, the Indy 500 was an absolute banger. Still gutted for Pato. Still very annoyed at McLaren for fucking up Rossi’s chance at winning by pitting him too early making him have to save fuel.

 

I’ll take Indy car over f1 7 days a week with the current state of both

 

I do wonder tho how much Indy car will change with the hybrid cars that are coming in a month

 

Stewart-Haas Racing announced they will shut down their 4 car team at the end of the season. Front Row Motorsports has an agreement to purchase 1 of the 4 charters and will expand to a 3 car team next year. Amazing how far this team fell.

 

I'm guessing maybe Haas will plow the money freed up from this into his F1 program

 

With all that money they’ll go from 7th in the constructors to 7th in the constructors

 

When ownership isn’t around and doesn’t care, things fall apart. Harvick and the 4 team held that entire organization up with duct tape.

 

This weekend is the biggest GT3 race of the year, the Nurburgring 24 Hours; will be live-streamed starting on Saturday on Youtube for free

 

Looks closer to an F2 car. As long as the new regs lead to more passing, I'm all for them

 

More info about the new f1 cars coming in 2026

 

Indy car is moving to fox next year

the thermal race is a points race next year

 

The greatest car race in the world, the LeMans 24 Hours, begins tomorrow, starting at 9am central time. Being shown live on both the MAX streaming service, and MotorTrend TV. Here are some videos. Jensen Button, Valentino Rossi, Mick Schumacher, Scott Dixon, and Alex Palou are some of the big names competing this weekend
