Is it me or does driving around an oval track for hours just seem a bit tedious? Couldnt NASCAR do with being a bit more exciting? Well, whatever your views on how much greater Formula one is than NASCAR, then post them here.
F1 kicks ass...and i guess NASCAR doesn't.
Indeed i have. I'd rather gargle a bucket of diorreah than watch NASCAR. Its an unimaginative, slow, repetitive sport.
People who like NASCAR should be caned.
Well Formula 1 just puts me to sleep. All you ever get to see is one or two cars going by at a time.
My first NASCAR race was in 1977 at Riverside Raceway a road course. I sat in turn 6 and was able to see the majority of the race. From that point on I was hooked.
I won't go back an forth on this because I know that you love F1 and I love NASCAR and neither of us will turn the other.
It's not all about being able to cane it around a circle y'know.
I's about skill and controll and being able to push your car to the limit and them some.
Times are measued down to the Thousandths of a seccond. Where hitting the throtte on the exit of a corner half a seccond too late could cost you pole position at Monacco.
It's where the car requires a little more than just pure Torque and top speep to make it past the line first.
It's where inclines, declines, tunnels, camber, hair pins, S-bends, hammer heads, top ends, apex's and 4 seccond pit stops can all effect the podium finishers at the end of 1 1/2 hours.
It's where it takes three laptops just to start the engine.
It's where divers can be subjected to more than a 30G crash at 180 MPH and still race the next day, no questions asked.
It's where it takes more than neck-at-neck racing to make it to the podium.
It's where the cars generate 800 Horse power at over 18,000 Rev's per minute from either a V10 or W12 engine.
It's where driver require more than just a pulse to complete a lap.
It's where it takes 3 secconds to get to 100 MPH rater than a lifetime.
It's where the cars make more than a justa dreary drone from those Small lump V8 engines, as they 'fly' [ha!] past.
