[PivotStickTutorials]

Lol, douche bag, he missed XD

[andrettigirl4ever]

yeah it was marco

but everyone says IRL is turning into NASCAR

If it was Tomas would have took off his helmet and tossed that at Marco.... like Robby Gordon did to Michael Waltrip

its not cool because they are friends

[Brett140]

sorry, that was marco andretti

[Brett140]

scheckter was fined for throwing his gloves at john andretti, because we was frustrated

[IndianaSPEED]

John Andretti? LMAO!

[Brett140]

:D that was marco andretti at texas indy race 2007, tomas scheckter wasn't happy at marco andretti

[jraybay]

[26andretti26]

[Brett140]

[trouble192]

Dang, these cars are fragile.

[orioles001]

I gotta agree

[orioles001]

Scott hurts my ears so bad!

[cadetsteven]

Tomas should have pitched for the Chicago Cubs during the playoffs! He threw those gloves better than they throw baseballs!

[orioles001]

you got a point there

[finaltom]

The cubs are shit

[JJKRacing]

F1 is to Political

[orioles001]

meaning?

[JJKRacing]

US GP 2005. could have resolved the 6 car grid by putting a simple chicane at turn 13, like the IRL or Champ car would of done

Hungarian GP 2007. Lets dock McLaren the points they will score in the grand prix cause there drivers where being ultra competitive against each other

IRL Watkins Glen 2007. Hornish and Kanaan had a little punch up after the race. They got fined $. if this was in F1. the 2 drivers would have been banned

[JJKRacing]

Decisions go thought 1 team in formula 1 (the red one). In the IRL all teams are treated as equal.

Will there every be a lady racer in formula 1 again as long as Bernie is there. Sexist short-ass w*nker.

F*ck Bernie and Max Moseley, We want Brian Barnard.

Oh yeah. In the IRL TEAM MATES actually get along with each other!!!!

And in this video clip, Marco and Scheckter are best of friends.

[reetville]

at least f1 dosent constantly go round boring ovals f1 races have something called corners chicans complicated stuff like that if i were in irl i would fall asleep every time in f1 i would have a adrenilin rush un like irl

[aaronkimi86]

F1 is boring...i fell asleep at the monaco and spanish GP..real yawn fest. At least the IRL has somthing thats alien to F1..its called "overtaking". IRL has real racing...in F1 drivers finish 15 seconds apart and one driver wins 5/6 races...real boring...

[jraybay]

Lol You're just not a fan of formula 1 and you use the old "no passing" excuse. I'll tell you why IRL has passing. Because they run like nascar on an oval in a constant draft therefore it's not hard to catch a draft and pass someone when you're close behind them for 150 laps. In formula 1 you work for the pass because there is a real track you race on with right hand turns and some people get around beter than others so it's pretty difficult. oval racing is overrated.

[thelizardfolk]

@jraybay except those who cant handle their skill in heavy traffic 3-4 wide will either crash of fall behind (look at Mika Duno or Nelson Piquet's failed attempt at the indy 500). You think ovals' is just full throttle? Yeah right. Look at Richmond's heavy braking. I'll see you maintain a draft under those conditions with 5 cars all within .5 second of you

[jraybay]

O for sure it's a totally different sport. and this 'overtaking' at richmond is when your opponent wrecks or there are pitstops. Iowa too. The Irl shouldrace on real courses and leave the ovals to nascar I just don't see what you see in open wheel chassis' going around an oval for 200 laps.However with this push to pass more passing is available with the push of a button. The racing has been good recently I respect that and think its a brilliant. reminds me of the KERS button in formula 1

[thelizardfolk]

@jraybay

Iowa is a cookie cutter oval. No real character In other words...the Valencia of ovals

richmond is a driver's track Have you even driven richmond with IRL in a sim? Fantastic driving. Just like Monaco. Monaco races are usually horribly boring. But Monaco is a blast to drive for drivers (and sim racers). Same principles.

BTW dont compare the cookie cutter dime a dozen ovals Look at the fantastic ovals. Texas and Chicagoland for ex. 3 wide .001 sec finish. Top notch racing

[jraybay]

True

O no m8 Richmond is a nice track. problem is the one groove thats available at short tracks. I watch kansas, texas, richmond anyway and chicago IRL races and indy obviously. Its a videogame m8 everything is fun. Monaco is the best and spa francorchamps.

Yea I wasn't I dont think they use push to pass at short tracks. Like I said. recently the racing has been good everyones talking about IRL again. push.t.p is an excellent addition. F1 and IRL have consistent passing now.

[jraybay]

These are also two different motorsports and it's hard to complain about either . But like I said. formula 1 is on a circuit IRL on an oval passing is easier in IRL at the end of the day still top drawer pilots in both series. Roll on 2010. These new circuits in formula 1 are shit and don't compare the new with the old. theres plenty of passing at the old circuits.

[thelizardfolk]

@jraybay Yeah...which is why I watch both. Imho a motorsport fan will basically get the best of both worlds watching F1 and IRL. Yeah...IRL is below F1...but everything is below F1 so that's not exactly saying anything.

As for the old. Yeah, they may be plenty of passing in the old...probably the main reason why most people look back on those times fondly. But that's not the case anymore which is unfortunate. IRL use to be crap but they are getting much better now Look at the 2010 perfect

[dannymarv]

f1 is the peak of motor racing, end of

[thelizardfolk]

@dannymarv rally is better...F1 has nothing over rally

[erasetoimprove]

@dannymarv not in terms of excitement.

[thelizardfolk]

@reetville except ovals give racers something to race against....f1 circuits are sometimes absolute shit like tilke's valencia, singapore and abu dhabit.

BORING no passing 15 second margins...yeah...i really want to see a race where people just follow each other.

I'd rather watch an oval race where people are actually PASSING and winning by .000003 margins. not F1 with NO passing and win margins of 20 seconds....zzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzz

[marco90907878]

who cares wht schlecter thinks or does he is no good he freakin sucks and i dont think he should be throwing anything at marco..........go marco!!!!!!!!!!!-michaela

[orioles001]

Oh Yeah Marco is the best! SHeckter is an Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't Marco's fualt so you keep them gloves on your hands dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[budweiser3820]

I was there!
