@NateDawg80126 ...because putting 24 racing cars on dirt under rain is genocide? Did you read the last part of my comment?

[NateDawg80126]

@ATDOINFERNO Also, WRC drivers do not "predict the unpredictable", they have a co-driver with notes. You have to have good reactions and a good feeling for the limits of your car in variable conditions. But a rally driver is racing against the clock, not other cars. Not to say that a rally stage is easy, because its obviously not, but driving head to head with 24 other cars while making on the fly adjustments to the engine, brakes and downforce requires more than just a fast driver to win.

@ATDOINFERNO If you think weather is the only unpredictable thing about F1, you probably don't watch enough of it to really understand what's going on with tire and pit strategy, which explains why you find it so boring. As for physical fitness, I don't recall ever saying it was my only parameter for judging a good driver. My point was that completing an F1 race in its entirety far exceeds the physical demands of any other form of motor racing, they are athletes in peak physical condition.

[ATDOINFERNO]

@NateDawg80126 No, WRC drivers must only "predict the unpredictable", while the track changes with every passing car. The one and only unpredictable parameter in F1 is...? Weather...¬¬

And if physical fitness is your only parameter to judge whether a driver is good or not, then perhaps it's time to watch other sports.

j/k, now seriously, you see the point? Different cars, different series, different skills. I like most of them, essencially, those different philosophies (american and european)

[NateDawg80126]

@ATDOINFERNO WRC and F1 are completely different forms of racing, comparing the driving talent between the two is like comparing NASCAR to drag racing. They each take different skill sets and are demanding in their own way. I love WRC, those guys are insanely good, but they don't have to tolerate anything like the kind of G forces that an F1 driver withstands on a lap to lap basis. F1 requires a higher level of physical fitness to succeed, this is a fact, not an opinion.

[ATDOINFERNO]

@NateDawg80126 Of course, masses are dumb as sh**, seeing as, for them, there is no other motorsports series apart from F1 (yeah, they call that "motorsports", anyway). Hell, GP2 is way more exciting than F1...c'mon, the FEEDING SERIES is more competitive than the main one!!

And what? The world's best drivers? The most specialized ones, of course. Schumacher is specialized, Senna was also one of them (the most specialized one). But the best are surely in WRC, no doubt.

[NateDawg80126]

@ATDOINFERNO Your opinion, but certainly not the opinion of the masses. Formula 1 is the second most popular sport in the world, after soccer.

[ATDOINFERNO]

@NateDawg80126 No it's not. F1 nowadays is boring as hell. And it's certainly going to be even more boring in 2012. No Istanbul, but Bahrain. Austin GP in November, as if no American watched NFL...not to mention Thanksgiving...¬¬
