Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

Ммм... Может дело в том, что я гонку смотрел в состоянии зомби, но она мне совсем не понравилась. Размытой она какой-то вышла, без огонька. Если честно, мне Инди больше понравилась, но минус там очень большой: аэродинамика, чрезвычайно затруднившая обгоны.

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

размытой - очень уместное слово
мне инди не понравилась финишем. т.е. в целом все хорошо и перед последними стинтами ты ждешь борьбы между четырьмя, а то и пятью машинами, а получилось вона как. может, из-за завышенных ожиданий. а вот прыть викерса мне становится приятней раз от раза. ну и в целом почему-то более увлеченно у меня шарлотт смотрелся. но я, конечно, выспался перед этим

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

между прочим, с робби гордона сняты 50 очков в общем зачете и зачете владельцев, а крю-чиф заплатит штраф. я очень хотел бы, чтобы это прочитали европейские кликуши, возмущавшиеся системой наказаний в америке. что, мол, только деньги, только деньги...

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

Это кто так говорит?
Разве что говорят, что не изменяется текущий результат, что для уникальных событий означает недейственность системы наказаний.

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

ну насколько я знаю в этой гонке гордон не выиграл, призовые, полученные за третье место, вернул, а больше трети очков лишился. о том, что наказывают в америке только деньгами и это не спорт говорили хельги и кречетов после суточной дайтоны

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

Так то ж уникальное событие, ценное само по себе, а это регулярный этап чемпионата. Можно отложить наказание на будущее. А вот слабо в Ле-Мане снять в пятницу заготовленный балласт, выиграть с преимуществом в три круга, и утверждать о "великой победе"?

Re: 12 этап. Coca-Cola 600. Lowe's Motor Speedway. Charlotte.
 

мне - слабо. я ж не оправдываю то, что произошло тогда в дайтоне, просто огульное хаяние американского автоспорта по причине одного отдельного провала (пусть и такого эпического) мне очень не нравится. а там наезды были на американский автоспорт в целом.
