But wasnt the COT car an attempt to slow the machines down? So if the Nationwide cars have less power but but better aerodynamics, wouldn't that make them almost equal? Or am i looking into things too much here? Haha

The COT was really made for safety and cost management in the series, but yes it did slow the cars down. At the same time though the Nationwide cars horsepower was restricted even more than before so they are still slower then the Sprint cup cars, but they still handle a lot better. lol.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Like i said,it's a relatively unfeatured form of motorsport over here, so finding out basic stuff is very hard. So do these higher level drivers race in the lower ranked series in the same weekends(like a back up series), or are the races at completely seperate events? And why do the nationwide cars not have to conform to the same aerodynamic rules with the wings and splitters?

[anthony29fan]

No problem. For the most part both series race at the same track on a given weekend. Say if they are at Daytona then the Nationwide cars would race Saturday afternoon and the Sprint Cup cars would race Sunday, which is why some drivers race in both. They do not conform to the same rules, the cars used to be very similar until the Sprint Cup cars started running with the rear wings, which is the COT car.

Stiil dont know what sprint cup is, or COT model for that matter. Excuse my ignorance but could u spell out a dumbies guide to this sort of motorsports. Im very interested in it because it is such a contrast from us brits beloved formula 1. And just for the record, im a firm hater of dumbass people who come on here and compare formula1 to oval racing.

Well the Nationwide Series is basically supposed to be the "minor leagues" for Nascar, but over the past couple of years more and more Sprint Cup, which is Nascar's top series which Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are in, drivers have started racing in it also. The cars are different, but not by a lot, and they race at a lot of the same tracks. The cars race mostly on ovals but race on road courses twice a year. But it is basically just another division of Nascar.

what is the song

[anthony29fan]

The nationwide cars have less horsepower and they have not converted to a COT model yet. They are for development drivers but the Sprint Cup guys like to race them also.

Im from england and the coverage of american motorsports i quite crap really. Whats the difference in nationwide series and nascar etc. Hopefully im not making myself sound like an idiot.
