Sadly I wasn't in the right shift for when the IMSA was going so I wasn't able to catch that one. Wasn't lucky enough to catch O'Connell this year but his car is the same so I have last years, just as good but he did get his hood ripped off this time.
That little splitter helps with drag in a way. No areodynamasist but I bet it helps get the air ready to go around the drivers head. Some cars have it others don't.
Dug into some of last year for O'Connell and his cadi.

Watching the coverage of the practice sessions and I'm seeing an alarming number of people sperg out with "lol DAE think this is boring and do Americans really watch this?" so I figure it's about time to set the record straight once and for fucking all.
>Racing an oval is a demanding task
The floorboards of a NASCAR can reach 170 degrees celsius. An average driver will lose around 7 pounds a race in sweat alone. You will get some painful blisters on your feet.
>There are no breaks on an oval
From the minute the green flag is out until the minute it's in or you decide to pit, you are going to go full speed for the entire duration without cease.
>Wipe out on a circuit track and lose a few positions, maybe occasionally you can save face if you don't damage your car.
Wipe out on an oval and at the very least you are going to lose half the field that's behind you, provided you don't smash into either the inner or outer walls or get Zanardi'd by another car racing at over 200 MPH and wake up in the hospital without your legs. Your tires are going to be completely fucked by the way and will need changing thus costing you more time.
>Setups are much more important
On an average circuit you could maybe bang in 100 or so practice laps before the event and fine-tune your car to a high points finish if not a podium or outright win. On an oval you're going to need to sacrifice everything for that final hundredth of a second and go round the circuit maybe thousands of times in total. If it results in you walking like a crab for the week after the race then so be it.

the usual reaction when exposed to something new. like showing nonbrits panto, or kate bush. at least people are checking it out. dunno what they were expecting from practice sessions. there are probably more viewers for this week's streams than there have been for the last half dozen races.
also last call if someone wants to make a new thread, else i'll do it in the morning because this one is takin forever to load. probably completely unusable on that squirrel powered onion they keep promoting in the header
