Exactly If not... Bring back the Mansell and Senna battles. They were some of the best races in F1 history in my opinion.
I'd say last weekend's race was the best so far this season in terms of racing, pitstops, retirments etc. Only eight managed to finish Was a great race overall.
Yeah, anybody can drive around in a circle. Nascar=teh boring. I think the hardest part would be holding your bladder for 200 laps (or however many there are)
NASCAR to me isn't as interesting. It's more of a contest of who can build the best car. No matter how skilled the driver, if his car is a bit off, he's not going to win. Also, how they change the rules to make everyone the same, until one of the companies finds a way around the rules. If you want everyone to drive the same, just give them all the same car, then it would be all up to the driver.
Formula one, now I don't get to watch it as much, being in the states, but from what I've seen I believe it takes more skill to drive those road courses. Why do you think Jeff Gordon wins all the road courses, because he's a talented driver. Shumacker (i know i spelled it horribly) obviously is a very skilled driver. Anybody who can win that many races has to be.
Bah, NASCAR isn't all that great. (Yeah, I know I'll get some heat from people on it)
That's like saying "I go to NASCAR to see people make left turns all day."
That's a great quote from Robin Williams on that subject. F1 is more interesting and exciting because they add turns and twists and such. I do find some interest, although not as much as F1, for the NASCAR Truck racing. Best race of all for any motorsporting is 24 Hour at LeManns. I that race.
It took the death of their best driver to introduce new safety measures
im sorry last i checked Richard Petty was alive and well
Richard Petty, bah. "The Intimidator" was way better than Petty, and he would also have achieved more, had he not died due to too weak safety measures.

his death was his own fault.....he didnt install the belta right...he knew it even after repeated warnings by Bill Simpson...then the open face helmet didnt help his caise..and then finally all his blocking tactics got him hit from behind

Well, Nascar and Formula 1 both have something in common: It took the death of their best driver to introduce new safety measures. Before Earnhardt died, there was already talk about introducing HANS in NASCAR, but it was only introduced after he got killed. Likewise in the F1, with Ayrton Senna's death in Imola 1994, leading to better safety procedures for the drivers. But Michael Schumacher was the driving force behind introducing HANS into F1 some years later. Most drivers didn't like it, but over the times it has already prevented many drivers from suffering severe head and neck injuries.
Should Schumi has got this level it's because he is the best on the job.
Remember that some regulations about cars were re-arranged before the advant of the season underway. The other teams failed to capitalize on this boon, they just are rewarded by easygoing. Behind Schumi, here comes a great team headed by the right guys, including race manager Jean Todt.
Me too, I like Schumi. And Alain Prost for saying that records are made to be broken when Michael won his 52nd victory, then topping Prost's own long standing record.
