There is sometimes contact during f1 races, it just depends on where the contact is made. Part of the challenge of racing openwheel cars is that you shouldn't make contact or you might dnf. Motorcycles don't constantly run into each other, just to much risk. If you need to smash into some one to pass them then maybe you should be in a demolition derby. Different styles of racing. To me rubbing isn't proper racing, its just smashing and crashing, but some people like that sort of thing, different strokes.

You make F1 drivers sound like a bunch of girls! Tell em to swap some paint for gods sake!

When drag racers start "swapping paint" then i'm sure F1 will follow. Since when is racing all about smashing into the guy you are trying to pass. If you can't over take him without hitting him then you have no business passing. Nascar has got you guys brainwashed. Rubbing is not racing no matter what Tom Cruise says. Come on. Two different styles of racing. When you drive a 3500lb. tank you can hit everyone and everything. When driving a 1300lb. rocket ship you can't. Need pictures drawn? Class dismissed! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

NASCAR, the only racing where the drivers are as drunk as (or maybe should be as drunk as) the spectators....

There's no passing in demo derby. It isn't a race.naturalbornkeller;293907 wrote:

I've never been prouder to be a fan of "non-proper" racing.naturalbornkeller;293938 wrote:

Tom Cruise didn't say that, Robert Duvall did. Perhaps you're better at Stallone quotes? -

Bikes swap paint quite a bit in moto-x, I know I left a lot of knobby tracks on other guys, and had a few left on me as well.
I swapped paint a couple times roadracing, but in general it's not something you want to do much of unless you enjoy sliding down the track on your rear.
If it wasn't illegal to go into the other guys lane in drag racing, you know damn well I'd be over there swapping paint. I bet that spinning the other guy out by using the pit maneuver would be interesting with slicks and skinny's :icon_rabbit:

Kind of turning my comments around aren't you 2 wheeler? Motorcycles really don't want to run into each other do they? I love bike racing its something i want to do, but when is the last time you saw rossi smashing people out of the way. There is a time and place for every thing. F1 isn't the place where you want to make contact. It is a totally different style of racing. I agree f1 isn't for every one. But before just bashing it maybe give it a chance and see what its all about. And just a bunch of suits driving around pissing on each other. Thats just ignorance. Not trying to be a dick but thats what it is. I really wish people could discuss things on here with out it turning into a pissing match. Done talking about racing. "DRAGOOOOOOOOOO..."hey your right, Stallone quotes.

Fuck all of you!!! I Like F1 AND Nascar AND Moto GP AND....... All of them there forms of dems der motorsport.
They all take talent. Nascar gets a bum rap quite a bit for being smash n crash racing. While there is a lot more contact in that form of racing than in other forms. Its by design. Thats with NEARLY all forms of circle track racing from its inception. I do admit that the "contact" is part of what makes the excitement but it isnt all of it. As boring as you purists are, you have to admit that what you consider a broing form of racing would be even worse if there wasnt ANY contact between drivers. As far a smash to pass goes, its no worse than Mark Weber making his car twice as wide as the car really is to keep people from passing him. not having fenders has kept a lot of open wheelers from having way worse finishes. You dont know how many times Ive seen the exact senario play out where I wasnt wishing someone would nudge the guy to get the spot when he was clearly faster.
I watch both F1 and Nascar religiously and watch a lot of motorcyle racing and rally when I can. I am glued to speed channel and espn on racedays. I can appreciate all of them.
I wish there was more rally coverage on Speed like it was in years past tho. I love endurance racing too. sweet shit but it can be more boring than Nascar even.

I bet NASCAR vs F1 will be decided once for all in this thread.just like everything else that is brought up on this thing?
scott fargostreet is a pissing match.. thinking otherwise is ignorant.
and dirt track ftw.. thats even more fun then nascar and its six bucks. its more enjoyable because it is about the driver not the multi trillion dollar conglomerates that are behind him... the way nascar used to be...

Ok, I'll bite.

IMHO, NASCAR drivers don't WANT to run into each other either. In doing so, they risk damaging their cars as well, and possibly crashing out of the race. However, their cars allow them to do so, to a point, and when two racers both want the same real estate.......naturalbornkeller;293981 wrote:

Were was I "bashing" F1?
