    its more "competitive" because it's lacking in skill and is competed by competitors who are also lacking in skill so they congregate in indycar. only a simpleton would say that racing in ovals is more difficult than racing at tracks like monaco or spa. obviously f1 hasn't been too much of a failure if it's the most watched motorsport in the world with races all over the world and even more countries lining up to get their chance. seems to me that f1 is still beasting

    left turns, and more left turns, thats not racing. if your ambition is to do something like that then you should just become a train driver
    and you just contradict yourself by saying that super speedway side drafting is real racing because indycars do race on street tracks, you know those tracks where they dont turn left all the time yet still manage to make the cars look depressingly piss poor? it takes no skill to turn left = fact

  • @freshcelery
    @freshcelery 13 лет назад

    actually webber was able to go from 18 to 3 because he had an extra set of soft tyres saved up as he didnt get through Q1. webber has a very good car but the tyres and tactics is what is making f1 this season really good. indycar drivers dream of getting an F1 seat, not the other way around.F1=the pinnacle of motorsport, indycars=poor mans sundayleague
    id love to see these tin pot indycars fly through chicanes at 200 miles an hour and see how hard they end up in row z of a grand stand

  • @GooseMobius118
    @GooseMobius118 12 лет назад

    Everyone shut up about which racing series is better. Real racing is when two cars go into a corner with room for only one, and one car comes out of the corner ahead. NASCAR, Indy, and F1 all feature that. All take tremendous skill.

    its not one off momnent and if you do care to watch a full season of the series you will see that its more the norm than the exception..... unlike f1!
    OK, again its all opinion but give me 33 cars hurtling around an oval at over 200mph for 3 hours, inches apart, inches from concrete over a 2 hour borefest at the barcalona circuit in 20 of the best drivers in the world with cars so designed that they cant actually race and if you do race and make a mistake, you are penalised for it!

    I didn't know anything about Indy Car but I am surprised to see the cars race on an oval, always turning to the left. Just my opinion but that seems a little strange to always be turning in the same direction. The cars must be constructed and set up to race specifically on that principle.

    @k4n3n1 Dude, i know, i watch it regularly for Franchitti, Conway and Wilson. However to say its more challenging isnt correct. America never really got f1, which is a shame really considering its the 3rd most watched sport in the world. You also have to consider that bourdais, who dominated champ car, was a nobody in f1, as was andretti when he tried back in 1993. To say one requires more skill is bull shit, because they both require different skills. But i think f1 is the more challenging.

    For people who like close finishes, you may be interested to learn that the closest ever SIX-vehicle finish was in a Pickup truck race at Rockingham Motor Speedway, when six European pickups finished within .306 seconds of eack other i.e. the sixth finisher was .306 of a second behind the leader. N.B. Rockingham in the UK, not the track in the U.S.A. These European pickup trucks have 230 h.p. engines and average around 133 m.p.h. on the U.K.'s only big oval .

    @Cycofoo1914 You had and have no idea what racing is.
    Mark Webber's CAR took him from 18th to 3rd - he didn't do it.
    No matter how you put it, racing where the driver is not outfighting the field, where the driver simply has to let his car keep him in the lead, has zero competitive legitimacy. Racing without lead changes has no value. F1 to IRL/NASCAR is always a loss for F1.
    Gp2 is worthless. Racing is about drivers, not cars. Lead changes are more relevent than R&D any day of the week.

    No matter how you put it, there is no skill comparison - F1 to IRL/Nascar
    I mean... Straight! Left! Straight! Straight!...oh wait Left! shit now I lost time!
    The research/development is completely null in those US series it's hilarious. There aren't good cars and bad cars in IRLNascar. You just cant compare. Gp2 is more entertaining than Indy and Nascar

    The IZOD schedule is already set for next season and there are the usual amount of oval tracks, along with the road and street courses.

    @k4n3n1 NASCAR does both ovals and road tracks as well. They may not drive as fast, but they balance that out with how much they weigh. I agree though. I ADORE IRL. In fact, Dan Wheldon was my favorite driver! R.I.P Dan! This proves that IRL and NASCAR are way better than F1!

  • @STP43FAN1
    @STP43FAN1 13 лет назад

    @freshcelery Chicanes are not racing. Period, end of debate. Racing is about superspeedway sidedrafting to the win. The tyres helped, but the bottom line remains the driver in F1 is just a token. It's the technology arms race that is the key, and it's not racing.
