@saintsrulz Try to tell your friends that these F1 Drivers got about 4,000 pounds of down force (Witch helps Handling) while NASCAR drivers only have 1,500lbs of downforce with 850hp engines! also F1 drivers have way more in car adjustments then NASCAR drivers have the option to use in their car. I think the only thing NASCAR drivers can adjust in car is their break bias. Making NASCAR Cars more harder to control because of the lack of in car technology and small splitters unlike F1 splitters.

@fanodogg NASCAR, F1 and WRC are all tied for me. WRC is the most exciting.

@UltimateStewartFan14 Ive never actully thought of using the numbers of weight, etc. They still say its easy to steer. I race go karts and so I took them to a track with me to practice for 15 minutes and theyre arms were tired after just by a go kart. And theyre lap times were 3 seconds slower than mine and others. That shut them up pretty fast.

@UltimateStewartFan14 YEAH BOY!!!!! Im trying to get my friends to understand... They still dont think its hard but whatever.

[UltimateStewartFan14]

NASCAR is Awesome! Some people say "All you do is go around in a Circle" but if you really think about it. NASCAR drivers don't have all the technology that these F1 drivers have. Making the sport more challenging for the drivers and more exciting for the fans! I mean think about how hard it must be to Control a 850hp RWD car?
