NASCAR Working On Gen 8 Car? | Rajah Caruth Back To Spire | Look At Bowman Gray's New Walls

[@EstebanRapido]

2:45 We need an inner liner in those tires. No other quality about the Gen 7 car is worse than the lack of an inner liner.

Can't no room

@johnhaas2523 I know. The 18 inch wheels are a problem.

[@iLikePlanez]

Gen 8 car better race like the Gen4, crash like the Gen5 (safe af) and look like a car. Not whatever tf the next gen is. Pontiac wide body ahh car.

Just throw 900hp in the Xfinity car and call it a cup car.

Never happening and changes to Xfinity series cars are coming maybe next year or in 26

Ive never understood the complaints about the current door number location. Sponsors finally figured out how to use that empty space, and the current placement is far better than the rear quarter panel BS you see in some of the weekly series and outside the US. People need to put that energy into complaining about something important

[@drumnbasssakuga9352]

Just trying to hate on any kind of new change lol

[@markalbert9011]

Agreed, seems like just something to bitch about. However I would NASCAR to allow the old location for throwback schemes.

[@North-101-Racing]

Exactly

[@WALTRIPFLAIR]

I happen to love the number ahead of the rear quarter panel but, where the number is should not be a rule. Let each team decide where they want it.

I love the number where it’s at tbh, looks mean if done right

Came for the Nascar news, stayed for the penicillin analogies

[@brittonnevans2208]

If we’re doing a wishlist, I’d like the cars to have similar paint schemes for a season. Sponsors can change, but the color stays the same. So you can see your driver with a 5 second glance.

[@alancarter41]

Problem is different sponsors have different company colors, IE FedEx and UPS. I doubt any sponsor would agree to use someone else's company colors.

[@MichaelEarnedIt-19]

@@alancarter41or do this same paint scheme but different color variants for different sponsors.

[@kylitothemidcreator]

Can they just make the gen 8 car like a safer version of the gen 4?

[@johnhaas2523]

No because manufacturers do not want such a f****** ugly looking car. The manufacturers want the cars to resemble as close as possible to what's in the showroom

[@MichaelEarnedIt-19]

Yes. This is what I’m thinking also can we bring back the Gen 4 car for Super-speedways and Road Courses Also bring back the Monte Carlo. Chevy needs a new model. I’ll even design it if GM would give me a call. I’m currently looking into automotive design and bringing back the MONTE CARLO for nascar would be a dream come true.

[@kylitothemidcreator]

@ I think it’s a possibility for them to bring back the Monte Carlo! Oh and they need to bring back the x pipe sounds for the Superspeedways!

[@johnhaas2523]

@kylitothemidcreator x pipe don't work with car with the pan

[@daboiracing3848]

That was the COT

[@AndrewFRC135]

Honestly, the cars would let you drive them off the right rear if they ditched the independent rear suspension for the old-school live axle. Bring back the driver adjustable track bar and what-not. But, I can only imagine how many millions they invested into that fragile 6-speed rear transaxle, so that's not going away anytime soon. Also, while I agree the safer barriers are always a good thing, they wouldn't be necessary at Bowman Gray if we were still racing the much safer Gen 6 car.

[@johnhaas2523]

I don't see any old technology coming back

[@AndrewFRC135]

[@johnhaas2523]

@anthonypage4598 NASCAR rules and manufacturers rules

[@gregstickel7467]

Biggest change to the cars should be to remove the use of bump stops. The car should be 4 inches of the ground when not racing on the track. Allow the teams to figure out the correct way to make the shocks and springs work correctly to go fast.

[@johnhaas2523]

Teams want the cars as low as possible

[@markalbert9011]

1) Lose the front splitter that with even the slightest damage you're kinda screwed. 2) Lose the underbody ground effects (again, slight damage and you're screwed) 3) establish a minimum rear ride height. 3) Add 150bhp I'm sure the 18"wheeels are appreciated by the manufacturers as well a symmetrical bodes. I'm not at all sure all the snap oversteer is entirely from stiff sidewalls. I'd like to see how it performs without the easy to damage and your race is f*cked areo package. Removing the underbody panels eliminates the advantage of an nose up tail down body rake, if it doesn't establish a minimum rear deck height. I really think the basics of a really good car are there. Just give it a bit more power that every engine builder says is there for free and remove some very easy to damage and expensive items that we are told by many people in the garage are problematic. Maybe run the current car configuration at intermediate tracks and simply remove some expensive and controversial parts everywhere else?

[@roymcdre9180]

Theyre going to make a spec b so the blow overs stop. CoT went thru that too after 3 years. I think the cars ok, just needs gumball tires and have a minimum rear ride height

[@revrasheemstewart]

[@since1961]

Slower steering😮,& brakes & Wheels & contact patch,? by adding grooves to all the taller tires raising the ride height🎉starting w short tracks,?

I hope you make a trip to wwt speedway and I will show you how much we love NASCAR racing in in st.louis

[@kylemccartney3015]

1) Door number back to the old spot. 2) Less tire. 3) Less brakes (shrink rotor and caliper to make the braking zone longer). 4) Go back to a 4 speed transmission to help eliminate some of the shifting. 5) Remove the underbody downforce pieces. 6) Go back to a solid rear end housing for durability reasons. After thinking of it, just give them the Xfinity racecar! That car is awesome when it comes to the racing!

[@johnhaas2523]

None of that is happening

[@ChristopherFisher_78]

They could definitely stay with this car. they just need different packages with it. its supposed to be modular. we know what works at Daytona doesn't work at Martinsville. they can make track type specific cars that use this platform.

[@dang5553]

The gen 3 awesome racing gen4 the same. Every other one is a shame. I agree with 15 inch rims. A H pattern transmission yes bring back 750-850 hp.

[@johnhaas2523]

Unfortunately you don't get to agree because the manufacturers want the 18-in wheels And they don't let anybody have an opinion about it and you're going to have to get over it about the horsepower

[@dang5553]

I’ll be damned I don’t see any stupid single lug nuts on Production cars. So I don’t the automaker’s having a say. It’s nascar dreams. Real drivers want power I’ll stand bay bye saying gen 3 car brought the best racing. Sequential shifting for gamers bring back the H pattern. Get rid of drafting at Atlanta

[@johnhaas2523]

​@@dang5553I will educate you really fast about it. NASCAR had to go to one lug nut because The manufacturers wanted 18 in wheels You cannot put 18 in steel wheels on a race car and 5 lug nuts doesn't work with 18 in aluminum wheels at and NASCAR tested that option. They suppose you could maybe make it work but you would have to get rid of live pit stops so That you make sure every single lug nut is tight then you got to come back in and have the torque checked. By the way tell me when was the last time a manufacturer sold a car with 15-in wheels and five lug nuts as the bigger the wheels the more lug nuts. I got a truck that has I believe 6 lug nuts with 16-ln wheels and it's 21 years old

[@raysalyer7472]

Since nascar cost so much for teams even tho saying they don't make a road course car than another car for rest tracks also more horse power

[@johnhaas2523]

None of that's happening Because no manufacture wants the horsepower you want

Let's give the teams more of a ability to do mechanical setups, let the teams make the body panels again. As long as it passes tec then who cares

[@gravedig1990]

Just give me the xfinity car with 900hp and that be the gen8

My wish list: dump most of the intermediate tracks, dump the sporty car idiocy (18" wheels, splitter, diffuser), keep the symmetrical bodies (no more banana cars), softer tires on short tracks, limit aero by dirtying up the cars to make mechanical grip more important than aero grip which make driver skill more important. And since I love comedy, more rovals.
