nascar>f1? wtf
-
what can i say, phats? you seem to be an exception to the generalization. just like how it's not supposed to be possible to cook chicken in a microwave oven and eat it (being as it usually comes out rubbery); whereas, that is one of my favorite ways to cook because it takes less time and i can prepare very tender chicken that way.
there are almost always exceptions to everything -

No i agree with what you saying, it's just that as long as you realize there is a exception to the rule.
Like jeff gordon, He's an exception to the rule for nascar drivers, well at least i think he is.

to me, nascar>f1 because nascar's dont have any aids as f1 cars do (i.e. traction control) because its not allowed...i realize that f1 drivers go through huge amounts of g-force and higher speeds, but from a driving aspect, i think it'd be harder to drive a car with 800hp and no traction control rather than a 900hp car with traction control...also, when you say f1 car's shift, arent they push button or somthing (i could be wrong on that one)...my .02

not trying to sound like an ass here, but it seems like traction control would be more necessary on cars that have to turn BOTH directions than it would be for cars that turn ONE direction....you can probably set the suspension up easy enough for NASCAR to safely run w/o traction control.

id also like to add that yes, f1 cars are faster and have more technology, but with the technology comes driving aids which take away from the "skill" part of racing...its almost like cheeting :eek:

yes, but nascar drivers get to change tires, F1 does not (ok...they can change ONE tire per race...not one set, one tire.) Trust me traction control doesn't prevent spinouts in F1, they get loose plenty often as well.

-
no, its like saying my wrx tires can last as long as a honda insights can if I am a good enough driver.
-
if he had enough skill to find a really really long downhill portion he could
-
well, last year F1 could make tire changes (3 I think, someone wanna chime in on this that knows for sure), they found a way to run w/o a tire change...they did it through research and driver skill
