"When the car is painted..." Only there's very few teams that paint their cars anymore, they have a company that makes vinyl wraps that go on the body and 2-3 crew members put it on the car, smooth it out, and take a exacto-knife and cut the excess off, then apply the headlight and car logo decals
@BLACK ICEYOU it depends on the team, Hendrick typically paints all or half their car, depending on the track (they paint their cars at super speedways)
Looking at how high tech the process is they may as well be making F1 cars. No wonder that costs are skyrocketing and car counts in NASCAR are plummeting.
But they didn't even cover up all the ones on the diecast lol like under the hood 😂 I really wouldn't doubt it if lowes didn't want to be on there if this was filmed recently. They have been really wierd about it since they left nascar 😞
“NASCAR hasn’t been cool since it used real cars” Alright so you liked it back in the 60’s because that’s the last time they used so called “real cars”
ok this is outdated because A dale Earnhardt jr B Kasey kane C chevey SS although it should be obvious however i can see that it probably aired a few years ago so i will cut it some slack
Cover up the quarter panel and hood Lowes sponsorship logos and then show the one on the underside of the hood lol. Still a very badass and interesting video & process.
>no headlights due to safety risk from shattering >current gen cars use carbon-fiber panels which shatter all the time compared to their metal counterparts lol
For NR2003 cars there is a template that you can export from your files [if downloaded] then import it to the game which creates the car you just imported
Made by teams, your point? "NASCAR hasn't been cool since they were using street cars?" Well no last time they did that was decades ago, its been race cars thats it.
@@dannywestbrooks7207 No, it just hasn't been actual STOCK car racing since then. Stock means commercial off the shelf stuff not specialized racing parts.
The previous generations had their nose made from steel so this wasn't really a problem, the sixth generation cars have composite front ends which are are an absolute joke in terms of durability and cost. The CoT at least did something things right. They were extremely durable and also cheaper. The cars pretty much never shattered. Now if only they weren't dependent upon the front splitter, which is another common point of failure.
Techincally speaking, all of the cars are "stock" per a given formula. So there's that. There are also a lot of choices and adjustments going on underneath the skin. Most of it is engineering based, but there are also mechanical adjustments. Otherwise, yes it's still a highspeed chess parade with crashes until you get to the road courses. Then it's overweight american cars trying to be real race cars, which in and of itself is hilarious.
How the f do they manage to show a guy making a carbon fibre mould and completely fail to show how the epoxy resin was added? And then they show somebody doing a few tacking welds as if that's the end of welding the steel bits.
They don't even use templates anymore, and it's been that way for like 3 years now, and this video came out a week ago, they put the car in a big dark tent, and it scans the car everywhere, and also they wrap the cars, not paint them
One of the reasons NASCAR in in decline. Fans used to identify with the cars as well as the drivers. Now the cars bear no relation to anything the public can buy.
I'm pretty sure NASCAR has made a video on it. You have to look for it. Just because the RU-vid algorithm shows this video first, doesn't mean NASCAR is terrible. Plus, this was made 2013 - 2017 judging by the Chevy car body
I like watching Harry build Cole's race car on Days Of Thunder better. Lol. For some reason it is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie. I guess I don't feel so dumb knowing that I am not the only one who talks to a vehicle while building or repairing it, lol.
The only reason why my 6th grade science techer showed us this was because we were in a welding unit. No. We never actually used weldimg tools. He showed us videos that had welding in it. Even how a shopping cart is made. Edit: Spelling
G Abbott yeah, and if there were lights on the cars and not on the track, if a crash happens and he headlight is destroyed, they can’t race? Even If that is the only damage to the car?
NASCAR racing car should have conventional open/close front bonnet & open/close doors . . . if not anything atleast a proper open/close driver side door with (for safety reasons) . . . the roof hatch just ain't enough . . . the one piece moulded body concept is no better than a Hot Wheels miniature model car in Toys-R-Us . . . NASCAR should have actual conventional front headlights & rear tail lights . . . there are one piece LED headlights in the aftermarket industry that are built specifically for racing cars & are shatter proof for safety reasons . . .
With the new "NEXT GEN" cars...I'd like to know EXACTLY how much has changed. From what I've seen, the NEXT GEN cars are closer to Indy cars than "Stock Cars".
The chassis has been redesigned to provide more driver safety and with front and rear clips that are bolted on, rather than welded. The NextGen car will also have rack and pinion steering, coil over shocks instead of springs, independent rear suspension, ram air induction, dual side exhaust, a composite body, 18" aluminum wheels, and a 5-speed sequential shift transaxle. The new body is symmetrical like a production car, and outside of the greenhouse is mfg specific design. Most of these changes better align the race car with it's production counterpart than before, with exception of having to use a single lug nut with the larger aluminum wheels.
