Great posting ! Thx. I kinda feel easier knowing they really work for their money at these races.

 

pretty sweet video. it almost kinda made me cringe when i first heard him tlaking while he was driving, like he was dying or something lol.

 

Under braking, accelerating, and of course cornering, F1 drivers are subjected to as many as 7-9 G's.

At this amount of force, you, I, 95% of people would black out. Yet Micheal Schumacher managed to stay conscious and win 7 WDC's.

F1 is one of the most exciting sports on the planet, if you understand what's going on. Yypical "Joe Blow" doesn't...and so we get NASCAR.

 

Sorry, for double post.

I've driven little simulated, VW engine powered "F1" cars, and was subjected to maybe 1 G at the most, for about 30 laps.

I was so sore the next day...

 

Pretty cool video...... I like how the disectevrything in it and show you how the car is setuup as well

I love how everyone bashes Nascar wthout ever being in a stock car ... its awesome ..... most of the people couldnt handle that either .....Shows incompetence.

 

Man that looks like some work... but a whole heck of a lot of fun!

 

What the point was...is that as a viewer of a motorsport the American public are idiots compared to
European racing enthusiasts.

I can't believe there are 150 shows on Speed channel about NASCAR...guys in family sedans running in circles...

with fake caution flags thrown to bunch the field up should a guy actually get too far ahead...meaning using his talent and car to OMG...

outrace and outdrive the others.

Trust me, I have spent years reading, watching and dissecting F1 and NASCAR and the differences.

No "ignorance"...here.

 

Totally agree. Ive been watching f1/indy/nascar all my life and they are not close to being in the same class. Meaning f1 vs nascar. I live in charlotte the home of nascar and you should see are sports pages. Nascar can be on THE front page not sports. Yet you will get 0 coverage of f1 let alone any bike/moto gp ink. I mean 0! Thanks for lap top.

 

Not to double post but we are also home of speed channel. Hence Nascar coverage 80%.
