NASCAR hasn't seen real racing in 20 years.

But... Nascar has like Monte Carlo and Taurus racing!


And the speedways are just SUPER!

:devillook

Schumie=Rain GodSchumi got taken out by Rain Satan today. :devillook

Negative. F1 > Nascar.

+1

Nascar has turned into a giant sponsorship narrative. F1 has remained what it SHOULD be since it started: a sport.

NASCAR hasn't seen real racing in 20 years.


one of the few from B'ham I've heard say that.

I only lived there 18 years...

Actually, Nascar does suck.

NASCAR hasn't seen real racing in 20 years.
Same with F1 just about.

True. The past 10 years have sucked.

This year has been the best in recent memory.

f**k Sato!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like F1 and touring car racing. With the BMW's, Audi's, Citroen's, and other European cars.

F1 is kind of redundant and boring for me to watch, I prefer rally racing

Good call.

I like when they have a good inside camera and mic. Also when they show the g forces and the drivers inputs on gas, brake and steering is really cool to watch!

F1 is increasingly irrelevant. I'm glad the NFL is back.

McLaren has got to have the worst luck in racing. Bruce must be rolling over in his grave.

NFL??? Please. Soccer rules!! That's the real FOOTball.
Any car race is good to me, but I'll take F1 over WRC over Nascar.
Go Fernando!!

what happened to this thread? it went from Spa to what "sport" is best.

"there are only three true sports: mountain climbing, auto racing, and bull fighting. All the rest are children's games played by adults."

SPA is one of the greatest racetracks in F1. Eu Rouge has to be the best turn in racing.

It was nice to see people getting to change tires today. :alright It's too bad that JP got whacked at the end, which allowed Fernando to finish 2nd. I like watching races in the rain though. Adds excitement to the racing.

That's according to a famous guy who didn't have a pleasant childhood. I don't see bull fighting as a sport. Wrestling is more a sport than that.
Back to subject, the turn is Eau Rouge or Red Water, wonder why? Awesome turn, and according to Car & Driver, not all pro drivers take it flat out.
Spa has the romance of old F1 races for some reason, must be the scenery. I hate empty or unfinished race tracks, they look so dead. Add some trees and landscape please.
Bring back the old pit stops with tyre changes. When was the last race under the rain?

NASCAR=fast bill boards F1=pure mechanical perfection and rediculous money use and Touring Car=real racing we can relate too and drivers that act liek real people.

F1 at Spa people...F1 at Spa

well, I enjoyed the race, was hoping for a Mclaren 1-2 until Pizzonia made his presence known to Montoya... :mad oh well, at least Micheal Schumacher DNF'd.

Anyone think Shumi's poor performance this year has anything to do with the new tire changing rule???

Yes!!, Ferrari's contract forbids them to run Michelins.

Are you implying that Schumi is not good at conserving tires? I really don't think that's the case. Ferrari and Bridgestone just don't have a great package this year.

NASCAR is not racing, silly goose.

REAL Racecars don't have doors :D (even doors that are welded shut)

Spa is definately my favorite stop on the F1 circuit. Im a big formula 1 nut.

I think that said it best because apparently I dont understand how nascar is anything to sneeze at.

Looking at basic car stats for fun-

Nascar:
Ford Taurus (but not really)
3200lbs w/o driver
800hp @ 8000 rpm V8
150,000 dollars
Big brake upgrade for a ford taurus?

Formula 1:
Ferrari F2005
1300lbs w/o driver
985hp @ 18,500 rpm V10
3+ million dollars.
Brakes taken off the Boeing 777 air liner :D

i say the formula 1 car would be way more fun to watch. 0-200mph then back to a dead stop in less than 3/4 of a mile. Especially not only do they turn left, but they ALSO turn right! Makes for way cooler passing opportunities.

The real racing is nascar, bitches.


:ban:

Ha ha, that's funny right?, or at least I hope it's meant to be. I mean...how much can you expect from a "sport" that has it's roots from... well running Bootleg alcohol.

Back to SPA, Historically one of the best tracks around.

Schumie=Rain God


There is only one Rain God, Ayrton Senna Da Silva, AKA Rainman, AKA Prince of Monaco
