    i think part of the problem is that the actual car is so good now that boring tracks will produce boring racing, just not enough fall off. I have been watching boring races for decades now btw. i have dozed off at atlanta (before the repave) and at Talladega (before they tore down the backstretch. The car is so good now that road races may be the thing to do, and shorttracks with LOTS of horsepower. your typical 1.5 mile oval or bigger is just not exciting without horespower. and we can't really go as fast as Bill Elliott did and be safe in any kind of car.

    Not just Horsepower It a combination of Rear Gear and transmission ratios that give the sweet spot of a car's ability to show the driver skills and chassis set-up to achieve the best racing. Driver Safety is also a part of why the horsepower is limited. Looking at NASCAR's history of how much HP the older car had It still needed gearing and car control to make for good racing.

      Limiting hp isn't making it safer, if the lap times and lap speeds are still the same. It just changes the way it acts in the corner. OEM's and nascar want teams to get more races from the engines. How Reddick and Harvick (on the Dale Jr podcast) explained it, it sounds more like kart racing now, almost in the throttle all the way around the track instead of rolling in and driving off off a turn.

  • @codileger4876
    @codileger4876 10 місяців тому +7

    I think the fix is a narrower tire. Is this cheap, no. It would cost NASCAR about 10 million to buy all the teams new rims. Here’s the engineering explanation: Wider tire equals a few things. More lateral grip since there is more surface area, more Heat dissipation resulting in tires not overheating and wearing out since the rubber does not get hot enough to burn off, more flexibility in the corner since you have a wider core (also reason why it looks like teams are running them flat bc lower pressure allows more flex), more grip under braking again bc of more surface area allowing more rolling resistance, more grip under acceleration again bc there is more surface area allowing for the power being put through the tire to be dispersed better and preventing slippage (aka friction). There is no falloff bc the tire does not get hot enough for the chemical reaction to happen to change the molecular strength of the tire. Need I go further NASCAR. Surely your engineers have told you this by now

      I’d like to see narrower tires for ovals and a more GTE/GT2 approach for road racing using the Garage 56 experience. In both cases there should be more power.
      One aero change that could help is fixing the fit of the splitters and floor so they don’t run the cars squat in the rear. Putting adjustability back into the rear of the car seems like a no-brainer.

    I did hear probably 6 months ago either on DJD or another interview where the OEM's are not wanting the big horsepower. Various reasons...but I suspect that there is probably back door financial reasons that someone isn't saying that is gripping the increase in HP. Higher HP will increase the tire fall off (more pit stops=more money), braking stress due higher corner entries, more stress on the driveline which means they will have to redesign the vender parts=more money, the list goes on but the racing will be better and that will increase revenue for Nascar. Just my take.....

    In this aspect it cost WAY more to gain 1/10th of HP than it does to gain 300. R&D work and time will cost way more when they are constantly trying to redesign combustion chamber and Piston tops to gain 1/10th of HP.
    Since there’s a boundary of say 600 and you’re at 598, you have to find 2HP. You can pull a restrictor plate or tapered spacer and gain 100+ instantly. Of course they’ll be redesign for durability but you can gain plenty of power very quickly.

    Its aggravating when me a 16 year old is starting to lose love for the sport that i have grown up with. I truly find it hard to understand why a billion dollar company cant give us 900+ horsepower. Its not safety, its not the cost, its not the drivers or fans saying no; it really is NASCAR just being scared to take a risk that could save the sport. People only quit watching because the racing became bad when they made it easy to control the car and lowered the horsepower enough to where drivers can quite literally just get in the car and floor it around the track. Its to the point where NASCAR needs to start taking risks and attempt to save the sport or else it will die; and now is the best time since they have just gotten 8 billion dollars from the new TV package. It's honestly sad, and I understand why NASCAR fans quit watching when the CoT car was introduced. Hopefully NASCAR will start to change and accept being wrong, I would love to hear that old scream the cars use to have when they were 1000+ horsepower. With the safety we have today, it wouldn't hurt to try it. Especially after we experienced Newman's flip in 2020 and preece's flip this year.

Similar to what they said the average dirt super latemodel at your local dirt track is in the 850-900 hp range, lasts an entire season between rebuilds and outside of cautions lives sees 500-100 laps per weekend 30 weeks out of the year at 9200 rpm and some see in excess of 11,000 rpm and just get a valve spring change every 4 events as basic maintenance.

    Reducing horsepower with plates is just gonna force teams to test a ton on the dyno to make the most horsepower possible with the airflow allowed. Thus the engines aren't gonna be a ton cheaper AND they're gonna be less impressive. The only way to make THAT go away is to have a spec engine......
    Maybe I shouldn't give NASCAR ideas.
    (More horsepower is always expensive, but motorsport has always had the potential to put whole auto companies out of business. That's how it's been since before the world wars. Big whoop. If the teams are STILL losing money then we're gonna have to ask what cost savings have really given us.

    OK, let me see if I've got this straight.
    #1 )NASCAR believes the low HP engines saves the teams money.
    #2) Pretty much everyone says increasing HP will improve short track racing.
    #3) Even winning teams lose money in Cup Racing
    #4) NASCAR popularity continues to decline despite NASCARS current efforts.
    #5) NASCAR owns pretty much every revenue stream in the sport and doesn't share.
    There is a clear solution
    OPEN THE REVENUE STREAM TO THE TEAMS
    #1 Now teams are profitable.
    #2 Now you can increase the HP to provide a better product.
    #3 Now you will have fans returning because of a better on track product.
