f1 or nascar?

Answer 1

how can u ask such thing?

Nascar sucks!



f1 fan!!!

Answer 2

how can you even compare the two? Nascar is a pitiful excuse of a racing series. Ovals are REALLY boring, and do not take anywhere near the skill of the tracks where F1 run. F1 has THE best drivers in the world, fastest cars, biggest budgets, and overall toughest competition. Nascar is just a bunch of identical cars going around in circles, and once in awhile crashing into each other. But, thats what most americans love. Unfortunatly for the rest of us american race fans, they make us all look stupid. F1 is FAR superior in every way, and always will be. sorry nascar fans, but your series is pretty much the WWE of racing.

Answer 3

F1, even Jeff Gordon admitted that going from an f1 car to a nascar was a let down in f1 the race begins when the lights go out, in nascar you got 2 hours of testing laps before the real race starts in the last half hour and then They have to drop a fake caution at the end just so everyone can make it to the finish

Answer 4

In the glory days of Detriot and Americana, there was an old saying "Win on Sunday, drive on Monday". It was a maxim by which consumers and manufacturers lived. The technology you watched win the race on Sunday you could go into a dealer and buy on Monday. NASCAR was the embodiment of this ideal, these being "stock" cars, after all. These days NASCAR is a misnomer. The acronym means nothing at all.

In the 60s, homologation rules created wild street rides like the wildest of all, that crazy Mopar, the Roadrunner. Aerodynamics was still a largely unexplored science, as it applied to racing cars, and this thing was so unlike anything else out there - and it won! How the other manufacturers, most notably Ford, howled. Unfair, they cried! And of course it was unfair. But that was what was so great. Someone came up with a new idea and it worked. And, of course, you could buy that car. Few actually did but that wasn't the point. You could, and that mattered.

These days, you can buy a Monte Carlo, or a Fusion, or even a Camry but you can't buy what they're racing. NASCAR has become a sad parody of itself.

You can't buy an F1 car either, of course, but F1 was never set up to be regular guys going at it in regular cars. This series was from its origins the best that could be brought to bear on the track. It is the extreme limit of technology. Think of it - 3 litre, 12 cylinder engines, and normally aspirated! 20K rpms! No power adder, just sheer engineering expertise. Manufacturers who can win at this deserve the praise garnered. There is no greater test of automotive engineering than F1.

Personally, though, I go for sports car racing. ALMS, SCCA, GT racing, etc. This is the old formula still working. The Corvette they race is the Corvette you can buy, in large part. At times, in fact, the street version of the car is more powerful than the race car. Case in point, the Saleen S7 in street trim makes something on the order of 750HP but the race car, governed by the rules of whichever series you may see it entered, makes somewhat less. On a track, the street S7 would be hopelessly overmatched against the race car but still, for those who can ante up that kind of cash, the experience is very close to driving the race version.

I like that the latest generation of Corvettes have design aspects that come straight from the demands of racing. The aero headlights, the shape of the front spoiler, the brake ducting - the owner of this vehicle benefits directly from what is proven to work under the extreme conditions encountered in racing.

The owner of a Monte Carlo gets no such benefit, no matter how much GM (or the others) may claim.

And, oh yes, let me not leave this out. NASCAR may as well be an IROC series anymore. There is no difference in the cars, save the decals and paint. Same engines, same transmission and rear end, same...well, you name it. The tracks incorporate the skill of drafting to great effect but ignore the skills of braking, the varying apexes of hairpins and chicanes, the challenge of climbs and descents, etc. The few road courses left on the NASCAR schedule are all but gone. The few historical courses from when NASCAR mattered all but forgotten.

Sorry, but in my humble opinion, NASCAR represents the worst of all motorsports but the finest in marketing, the secret of its continued "success".

Answer 5

Sorry NASCAR fan, but you are seriously fooling yourself if you think that this is what racing is. C'mon, 40 year old guys with beer and pork guts is the pinnacle of the sport? Would you watch a bunch of overweight old guys playing in the NBA, NFL, NHL.

I am sure that you enjoy watching it, but please don't try to fool others that this is the cream of the crop with regards to driver skill. Your drivers for the most part are 2nd rate. Any driver with real talent wanting to make an impact at the pinnacle of the sport knows F1 is the proving ground.

Answer 6

F1 OF COURSE!!!
It is so exciting! Besides, it has different types of circuits, it takes place in different parts of the WORLD, there are drivers from different countries, and they always present great shows.
