Check this out.

GT cars compared with F1 cars.

It's crazy how the F1s make the GT cars look slow.

F1 has been my favorite form of racing for the last several years.  Nascar is going to have to go back to something that at least 'looks like a stock car' and encourage innovation & competition instead of forbidding it with their anti-competition rules that try to make every car identical regardless of make.  Nascar could learn something Australia's Super V8 cars.  The trick to watching a F1 race is figuring out how to compare cars on different parts of the track running different pit/tire strategies to see how they will end up at race end.  Great video, thanks.

Goes to show you how little things like how much curb to take can change the whole outcome of a race. The champions do it more consistently than the other runners. Thanks for the video(s)  :cheers: :2thumbs:
F1 has been my favorite form of racing for years. Nascar will throw the yellow for a Kleenex on the track just to artificially bunch up the cars, then claim they have the closest racing.   (Closest racing would be NHRA)
