[DurWinning]

Reports are saying that they were inadvertently tested by Bhowe83, who went to Talladega to test to ironically avoid calamity in Daytona.

We were able to find an image of the accident

Seems legit.

Fake blowover, you had roof flaps off!

------

Drivers are all headed to Talladega as Daytona will be unraceable for a few days as the crew needs to remove a 50ft section of wall as the impact from @Gerarghini broke through the safer barrier and the concrete.

That being said, the test races held at Daytona tomorrow are cancelled, and will be run at Dega until Daytona reopens. The replacement will be at least a day, maybe more.

Any chance you could make an imgur album of all the cars in the season as png files @nascarfan1400 ?

 

[Bhowe83]

We decided to take the restrictor plate off for fun. It wasn't fun

I can make a large x000xX000 pixel collage of cars and drivers. Yes.

I do not use imigur or any external sharing site, so no album.

 

[Earth]

Saving the race aswell as the big mess.

It will have it's own video as a result.

5 cars airborne, @Carbonox @geraghini and @AJHG1000 upside down.

@AJHG1000 was hit driver side at 190mph.

GTPFS Safety Crews are already testing a back-up rollcage for the cars.

190mph tbone? Should have been kept overnight for observation. Any footage of this crash?

Gen6 cars are safe... He was demoted to stable, then released upon X-ray results.


Footage uploaded maybe tomorrow.

 

[Michelin]

#99 Driver Matheus Michelin had this to say after the race finished under red flag:

"No racecar will be 100% safe. Ever. There are somethings in motorsport we can't control, and today's accident is one of them. It surely was a scary crash, I can guarantee you that. I really hope that the drivers involved are ok after this huge crash and that they can be racing on the next few test races and when the season starts. Just a shame that people like to make drama out of nowhere."

 

[Jahgee]

Which of these should be my drivers official song?

or

 

[Johnny1996]

"No racecar will be 100% safe. Ever. There are somethings in motorsport we can't control..."

To take a serious point out of that comment, no words could be truer.

Anyway, back to GTPFS talk.

In response to Michelin:
GTPFS Safety:

In the event Of every accident we have worked to develop a better way to make the cars safe. The new roll cage will save more and more lives. Just as the cars and crashes evolve, so does the safety, and while some overreact, we feel a new safety feature only makes a driver more confident for the next event. You are in good hands in NASCAR. I assure you that.

 

[Michelin]

Michelin's response to the GTPFS Safety:

"My response wasn't directed at you guys. I know you guys work your 🤬 off every day and night trying to make our sport the safest possible, so after each horrendorous wreck our fans see, the drivers of this sport can each time get out of the car without any harm so they can come back to racing as fast as possible. It's just that people, like you guys said, overreact to some things desnecessarily. Well, I'm just gonna end my rant. Can't wait to go to Dega in the next few days to keep testing the #99 Ford."

In response to Michelin:
GTPFS Safety Crew:
Understood and recognized. See you at Dega!

New Rollcages are already installed to those at Daytona, and the boys in Charlotte should be getting them by tomorrow!

 

[BKGlover]

Ohhhhh, that's why it was recommended to bring a fabrication team. I hope the duct tape holds overnight.

 

[nascarfan1400]

The YMCA gave you some pool pipes for a rollcage @BKGlover

 

[BKGlover]

On a lighter note, POOL PARTAY!!!!

 

[nascarfan1400]

On an awesome note, all teams have left Daytona for Dega!!

The teams in Charlotte are currently still there,

 

[BKGlover]

Unapproved fuels aside, what's keeping them in the Queen City?

One just joined the series and is getting their car fabricated. The others livery has been redone 3 times now

His diet includes a bowl of cereal, but with nails and grenade shrapnel as flakes and habanero sauce as milk, he's a tough guy

Sounds like either the paint isn't taking or the artist can't settle on one design.

Combo of both... It's hard to properly CraigItUp.

 

[BKGlover]

I'm starting to get excited about it as slow going as it's been to finally see it, as I imagine sparky is as well.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Wait. Does any of this Roleplay affect the racing at all?

 

[CinnamonOD]

Wait. Does any of this Roleplay affect the racing at all?

Yes, it does give an extra 20hp to your car for every roleplay message you write

 

[nascarfan1400]

Wait. Does any of this Roleplay affect the racing at all?

No. It just adds fun and drama to the series off the track aswell as on.

 

[Suzumiya]

Haha! This is fun! Ready to have a go at Talladega. This #4 Toyota hasn't been too strong these past tests, but we hope to be consistent when the season starts. We're sure that by the end of testing, the ARTA crew will find a winning recipe.

 

[Aesthetics]

When asked about the crash Wednesday night, Dean Cruz, of the #86 Taco Bell Toyota Camry, responded with the following:

"Have you tried the A.M Crunchwrap? It's amazing. All these neat stuff like hash browns and eggs and bacon with gooey cheese wrapped in tortilla. Since it's wrapped, I can eat it during pit stops, and on the trackwith one hand. I have no idea exactly how safe that is, but I don't care, it's freaking amazing. I don't know about you guys, but I can get it whenever I want, too."

"Oh, the crash! I forgot. It was scary. Parts were flying everywhere. I was narrowly hit by a car flying off the guardrail. I really hope something like that never happens again. I'm thankful I'm not in the hospital, and those who did recovered quickly."

 

[nascarfan1400]

You were waaaay ahead of it
