New World Championships

For any still watching this page, what exactly should we do about the FIA-ACO's new World Endurance Championship?

  • Rename World Sportscar Championship to World Endurance Championship and consider the series to be a relaunch of that series?
  • Rename Intercontinental Le Mans Cup to FIA World Endurance Championship and consider the WSC and WEC to be two seperate entities? The use of FIA would help seperate the two series, similar to the European Formula Two Championship and FIA Formula Two Championship.
  • Start an entirely new article for FIA World Endurance Championship and consider all three series to be seperate entities?

If we are going to rename the ILMC article, then I suggest not doing so until the current ILMC season is over. Further, how should we link the corresponding seasons? Should the 1992 World Sportscar Championship season link to the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship season, or should it link to the 2010 Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (technically not a World Championship and technically not under the control of the FIA)?

Futher, it appears the FIA GT1 World Championship will dump the GT1 moniker as it will now allow GT1, ex-GT2, and GT3 cars to be mixed and matched, and the FIA seems to want to call the new series the FIA GT World Championship. With such similarity to the former FIA GT Championship, might it be worth considering merging the article back into the article on the former series? Or does the differences in the series' formats make it enough to consider it a different championship? Again, any renaming should wait until after the current FIA GT1 season is concluded. The359 (Talk) 16:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

A further question - World Endurance Championship redirects to World Sportscar Championship as this was a title for the series for several years. Should this redirect remain, or should the redirect point to the FIA World Endurance Championship? The359 (Talk) 17:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, the old championship also had the FIA moniker. But WTCC and F1 articles don't have it, so I'd drop it this time too. I vote for merging all into World Endurance Championship. The FIA considers the new WEC a reincarnation of the old championship, so we should follow that. --NaBUru38 (talk) 16:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

2009 International GT Open season champions

The introduction of the article and the main article International GT Open say that Joël Camathias and Marcel Fässler were overall and Super GT champions. However, the points ranking shows Gianluca Roda and Richard Lietz with more points. GT SPort's official website doesn't have 2009 results. What's the truth? --190.135.5.228 (talk) 16:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Road America photos

I photographed the entire field of cars from Daytona Prototype and GT classes at the Road America event from yesterday. It was a combined event with the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Most of the photos look at a professional type level if I do say so myself. I'll load them as I have time after cropping them down. I may need help with figuring which articles they need to get put on and I'll ask if I need some.

I have photographed the Sunday races for the SCCA Nationals (U.S.) in 2009 and 2010 so prompt me if any of these cars are interesting to the WikiProject. Last year I mainly uploaded cars to provide images for the classes such as Formula Continental. Royalbroil 03:28, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Categorizing correctly (Commons)

Hi, I am cleaning up http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:24_Hours_of_Le_Mans with all its subcats. I am removing photos that show cars that did obviously not participate there. Some examples are this one, this one, this one, this one and even this one. But I am not sure what to do with photos showing cars that participated at Le Mans once but the photos were not taken at Le Mans. So that they are no authentic photos of the races in which they are categorized in. Some examples are this one, this one, this one, this one, this one and this one. In my opinion these photos should also become removed from Le Mans categories because otherwise you would have to be consequent and sort them into categories of each races in which they took part but not only Le Mans. I would prefer only authentic photos of Le Mans races to be sorted into the Le Mans categories like on this page. What would you do? --217.227.122.72 (talk) 23:42, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

SCCA National Runoffs

I went to the Sunday event, and I'm wondering how some of the classes are named here in Wikipedia. Specifically - American Sedan (AS), Formula 1000 (FB), Touring 2 (T2), and E Production (EP). One's that I have figured out is Formula Atlantic, GT1, and Sports 2000

I took photographs of many of the cars and definitely the winners. It was an ugly rainy day and the photos reflect the wetness. I'm sure that most of the afternoon drivers were soaked from head to toe and needed to change into dry clothes when they were done. Royalbroil 02:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

"Best finish" in Le Mans driver infoboxes

Over the past few days, I've noticed a few edits like this one, where the "Best finish" field in a driver's Le Mans infobox has been changed from their best overall result to their best class result.

Racing Car?

There is no page on how a racing car works, (correct me if I'm wrong). Racing setup isn't that complete. And I, that means others, have questions (ones that can be answered by an article) that are pretty obvious. There is a page on F1 cars, but I can't find any on Grand Tourers or Touring Cars. By this I mean I can't find how these racing cars a setup: Brake systems; fuel systems; diffs etc. Has anyone else seen this, or is there a reason?

2012 European Le Mans Series

  • Folks, the Le Mans Series will revert its name to European Le Mans Series (like in 2001). Those articles should be merged, like I did in the Spanish-language Wikipedia. Good luck! --NaBUru38 (talk) 14:30, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
  • First, the series is not reverting back to the European Le Mans Series name because the series was originally the Le Mans Endurance Series. The 2001 European Le Mans Series was an entirely different series. Second, nothing official has been announced yet, therefore it can wait. The359 (Talk) 18:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
  • If you want to text-merge pages European Le Mans Series and 2001 European Le Mans Series season, then do so, but they cannot be history-merged because they have WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Maserati links

As a result of this discussion at WikiProject Formula One, all references to "Maserati" in Formula One race reports now link to Maserati in motorsport, rather than Maserati. Would anyone object to me making the same change for sports car race reports? As an example, in 1954 24 Hours of Le Mans, this:
| [[Maserati]] A6GCS
| [[Maserati]] 2.0L I6
would be changed to:
| [[Maserati in motorsport|Maserati]] A6GCS
| [[Maserati in motorsport|Maserati]] 2.0L I6

Main page formatting

I have taken it upon myself to attempt to improve the look of the main project page a little bit. Before anyone freaks out I haven't actually changed the main page! I have, though, gone ahead and created some of the necessary pages to see my vision potentially come to life with the help and approval of the active members of this project. I have created a page Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sports_Car_Racing/Tab_header that demonstrates what I'm thinking of. I was thinking something in the line of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history but hopefully different enough to distinguish us.

Thoughts or suggestions? I'm open and won't cry if I get completely shot down and my work deleted; this is Wikipedia after all. --Sabre ball (talk) 18:34, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Adding classes to Template:WikiProject Sports Car Racing

I'd like to propose we add classes to the Sports Car Racing template. I believe this would really help facilitate the advancement of the project. It would allow us to really see where we need to work and how much work we have to left to do. Granted, I realize we'll always have work to do.

As far as the template is concerned we merely need to |class= to the template. I will admit I got anxious and I've already created all the necessary categories. If anyone has any objections let me know. --Sabre ballTC 15:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Sports Car Racing will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in racing history. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2012 (UTC)




Sports Car Racing vs Touring Car Racing

Whats the rational behind this project not covering Touring cars? The difference between the two, in my opinion, is so small its negligible. Supposedly sports cars are more expensive and more advanced, but series like DTM really run counter to that and in my opinion is a sports car racing series in all but the name. --Sabre ball t c 15:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, I suppose I can't really argue with either of you on those points. I guess my issue is more a semantic one with the name itself. In my mind I suppose I look at racing in one of three categories: purpose built prototypes (lemans), purpose built open wheel prototypes (f1), and race cars that look like street cars. Don't ask where NASCAR fits into that. As, both of you have pointed out there are signifigant differences between touring and sports, but as a casual observer you're either racing what appears to be a street car or you're not. --Sabre ball t c 15:07, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

NC/DNF cars in classifications

Hi, I worry that we have some serious mistakes in results tables of Sports Car Races. For example let's compare the race classification of 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans on Wikipedia with the official race classification. In official results cars that were not classified or retired are not ranked on positions. But on Wikipedia these cars are ranked on positions (all cars from P34 to P56). This means Sports Car Racing results on Wikipedia depart from official Sports Car Racing results. Shouldn't this be corrected? --87.144.244.203 (talk) 21:20, 4 February 2013 (UTC)




2012 season articles needing work

Time for my annual post about incomplete season articles. The following series articles are little more than tables. Most of them don't even explain what they are, whether they are open wheel series, where they are held, who won the series! Apparently a series as important as DTM considers the point score system more important than the series champion.

The situation is also encouraging new editors to be likewise poor in seasonal coverage.

So while the majority of series are in hibernation perhaps we could spend a few days improving these articles.

Surely it would be more important and productive than arguing over whether Mercedes or Mercedes AMG is the correct terminiology for a constructor? Less minuatae!

No mention of series winner:
2012 American Le Mans Series season
2012 Australian GT Championship season
2012 Blancpain Endurance Series season
2012 British GT season
2012 Campeonato Brasileiro de GT season
2012 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge season
2012 European Le Mans Series season
2012 FIA GT1 World Championship season
2012 FIA GT3 European Championship season
2012 FIA World Endurance Championship season
2012 Ginetta GT Supercup season
2012 Ginetta Junior Championship season
2012 International GT Open season
2012 Lamborghini Super Trofeo season
2012 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain
2012 Porsche Supercup season
2012 Rolex Sports Car Series season
2012 Super GT season

Series winner mentioned but no season review:

  • Indicates race summaries, but a lack of season review

Incomplete results: 2012 Australian GT Championship season

Drivers Standings Tables

I've noticed that on the page for the 2013 ALMS as well as all the old Can-Am seasons from the 60's and 70's the tables for the drivers championship standings are formatted in such a way to show the points scored at each race rather than the color coded tables with the driver's finishing positions like the ones on the FIA WEC, F1, IndyCar, NASCAR etc. pages. I think the latter version is better because it shows you where EVERY driver finished, not just the ones who finished in the points. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.174.153 (talk) 21:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)




racingsportscars.com reliability question

since the site is used all over think you guys should chime in. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Is this website a suitable reliable source? -- Moxy (talk) 20:34, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

  • It's very reliable for racing results, which is pretty much all it provides. On occasion, it's been more reliable than an official source (some of the earlier 2000s British GT results are clearly wrong on the official website, for example; cars inexplicably missing, drivers with incorrect nationalities or names, drivers having three separate entries in the championship standings, etc.) It's been used in GAs and DYK hooks for years, historically and recently. Most of the GA articles that fall under this WikiProject, and are for racing cars, use it as a source. And quite often, it is nigh-on impossible to find these results anywhere else online.

World Sports Racing Prototypes domain change -

The website called World Sports Racing Prototypes is often referenced as a source for some sports car racing data. For example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSA_GT_Championship

The website was on a domain wsrp.ic.cz. But the provider ic.cz disabled direct access from abroad, so it is now needed to write a code to get there. As a results of this, the accessibility for common visitors became very difficult so a new domain was bought and the website was moved to www.wsrp.cz. For that reason I would like to ask you at Wikipedia, if it is possible to change all WSRP site references to the new domain.

The WSRP website used to be referenced by any of these domains:

wsrp.ic.cz (not updated since 2014)

wsrp.wz.cz (not updated since 2005)

www.wspr-racing.com (not updated since 2001)

Any of these should be merged under www.wsrp.cz, which is the only official website and the only one to be updated in the future. If you are able to do it, it would be great. I believe this would make the user experience of Wiki visitors better. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.102.248.69 (talk) 21:43, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed change to wiki markup for motorsport results tables

Hi WikiProject Sports Car Racing. The wiki markup used to produce the background colour in most motorsport results tables (bgcolor="#XXXXXX") is no longer valid HTML and as a result doesn't work properly on mobile devices (no background colour is displayed). There is a proposal at WikiProject Formula One to get a bot to update the markup for all the articles within that WikiProject's scope. I'm letting this project know (a) so that you won't be surprised/confused if you suddenly see lots of articles being updated and are wondering why and (b) just in case you know of a reason why this would be a bad idea.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Equipe Matra Sports

I notice that the description of Matra's motorsport activities have been moved out of the Matra article into a new article: Equipe Matra Sports. If there are no objections, then some time in the next few days I'll change all the sportscar racing-related references to Matra which currently link to Matra to link to the new article instead.

Renaming discussion - TUSC

I have started a discussion at Talk:United SportsCar Championship regarding the renaming of the series and how to handle the appropriate 2016 article, currently titled 2016 IMSA SportsCar Championship season. Input is welcome. The359 (Talk) 18:44, 19 October 2015 (UTC)




Jac Nelleman

FYI, I've started a discussion about the correct spelling of this driver's surname at Talk:Jac Nelleman#Nelleman or Nellemann?. DH85868993 (talk) 08:16, 14 November 2015 (UTC)




AfC submission

See Draft:Lola LC87. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:30, 24 December 2015 (UTC)




Season in progress footnotes

I have proposed a change to the wording of the "Season in progress" footnotes which accompany motorsport results tables for which the season is still in progress. Interested editors are invited to comment at the centralised discussion. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 21:55, 28 December 2015 (UTC)




Dilantha Malagamuwa

I fairly certain that Dilantha Malagamuwa fails to satisfy WP:NMOTORSPORT but don't know whether the Formula Nippon (F3000) is considered a fully professional series or not. Was hoping that an editor here could help me out and confirm whether he satisfies the criteria before I lodge an AfD. Dan arndt (talk) 11:10, 24 May 2016 (UTC)




DYK nomination for Ferrari 330 TRI/LM article

Can I get any second opinion regarding my hook for the Ferrari 330 TRI/LM article as a reviewer does not think it is particularly "hook worthy" and "most cars get driven around after their first owner sells it after all" especially if that's a Le Mans winner and the last front engined car to do so.

Let's have your opinion on Template:Did you know nominations/Ferrari 330 TRI/LM, thanks. Donnie Park (talk) 20:00, 10 June 2016 (UTC)




Notable?

I just declined a speedy on Paul Miller Racing since it looks like they might be notable, however the article needs a lot of work and I'm not really familiar enough with this stuff to know what to look for. Anyone interested? Tokyogirl79 (?????) 10:03, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Strikethrough

I can't understand how "strikethrough" works on the tasks of the To-Do List. Please help me! MC12GT1 (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
