Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Nov. 1-2, 2014
Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Nov. 1-2, 2014-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:49

Welcome to the Jalopnik , where we let you know what's going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

Everything's happening in Texas. Well, except the 6 Hours of Shanghai. That's not in Texas. Anyway, if you want lunacy in motorsports, we've got it.

Formula One makes its only appearance in the United States, but . Now there are wild rumors flying around about a possible Force India, Sauber and Lotus , as the smaller teams feel shafted financially by the FIA's preference towards the larger teams. In Formula One this year, the haves keep on havin', and the have nots are at risk of disappearing from the grid entirely.

Two changes are coming to the Formula One United States Grand Prix. The FIA will change the F1…

The three teams are carefully downplaying the threat of a boycott, so I hope that for the weekend's sake, it doesn't happen. I'm also having trouble finding any specific mentions of one besides "here are some random quotes on costs from the smallest teams," so there's that as well. For now, thankfully, it sounds like a crazy rumor the Brit-pubs threw together from random quotes. No one wants a repeat of the last Indianapolis race. Nope.

If it isn't a crazy rumor, uh...at least is really great.

For the first time in history, Porsche Supercup's final race of the season is in the United States.

Things are heating up for the Chase for the Sprint Cup up at Texas Motor Speedway. Well, sort of. A non-Chaser stands a good chance at winning, given that the Chase has eliminated quite a lot of talent this year.

That being said, Brad Keselowski was the only Chaser to the second round of qualifying. He'll start 26th in this weekend's race. Oops!

Scheduling two events in Texas on the same weekend is bad enough. Although F1 appears to be as crowded as usual, there's more overlap between F1 and NASCAR's fanbase than many like to admit. But oh, no. We've got them scheduled on top of each other on TV, too.

The World Endurance Championship moves on to China this weekend as well, bringing an American team with them for the first time. will be duking it out in LMP2 for America. Unfortunately, the only way to follow that is the paid WEC stream online. The race starts at 11 PM EDT on Saturday.

Extreme Speed Motorsports is the lone American team heading to the FIA World Endurance…
