sorry if this is a stupid question, since i know nothing about racing but i am curious. roughly speaking, which car would be fastest on an oval track? on a straight track? on an f1 track? on a windy mountain road? assume that all drivers are using perfect technique and there are no restrictions on regular parts for those vehicles (no rocket engines or jet packs), there is infinite fuel supply, and no tire wear. how much does the style of driving matter vs. the design and power of the car itself? or would they all be roughly the same?

before restrict or plates a nascar would top out at about 210 mph on the big super speedways, the honda f1 car topped out at around 245 mph the the salt flats last summer, so in a top speed run the f1 has it weather its a straight line or an oval as for the windy mountain road the f1 car would leave the nascar at the first turn in all aspects of performance the f1 driver and car are the best, the only exception is straight line acceleration where a funny car or top fuel dragster are the kings, as far as driving style, nascar teams sometimes bench there regular drivers on road courses to let dedicated road racing guys drive there cars so yes style does play into the factoring

The F1 car wins on every track: F1 track, mountain track, oval, straight line. It's faster: top out at 255 mph compared to 220 for nascar or indy, and it also corners faster. It's the most advanced type of car . To all the guy below. You keep mombling about 220 for indy. SO WHAT? F1 get to 255 . Period.
For racer x are you blind ? F1 cars have been known as able to drive up-side down for over 20 years. Even a Ferrari F50, Enzo, and other street legal cars can generate more down force than theyr weight and thus drive on the ceiling :) A guy above just sayd that F1 cars generate 2,5 times they own weight in downforce. Lol champ car 's the most advanced :)) That champ car uses sideskirts for generating down force. That technology is decades old in F1 , it's not even used today, besause it was to effective so it 's banned. Even without that the F1 cars make 2,5 time they weight in downforce.

I think that you missed one here for ovals. Indy cars are essentially aircraft built to run on a variety of racetracks - half of which are ovals. With the change to ethanol, I'm hearing that 220's at Indy aren't out of the question. On a winding road, though, F1 is specifically designed for this type of facility with fast pickup. NASCAR shouldn't even be part of the discussion.

an F1 is made for tight cornering at high speeds, although to be honest nascar's autos' usually run over 1,000HP i beleive so it depends , how good the handling is on a nascar compaired to the (roughly) 700+HP of the F1 do some research i guess

I think if you sent the three different types of car around Mount Panorma, bathurst. The V8s would still be going flat out after 6 hours.

I would have to throw in one more car on you guys. A DP01 Champ car. A Champ car is so aerodynamically advanced its the only race car that can race upside down.

Several of the answers above are excellent. You should also factor in the driver's talent and experience.
