Why Do F1 Fans Think That Their Type Of Racing Is Better Than American Racing?Personally, I think Formula One is dead BORING. I watch NASCAR Nextel Cup and NHRA drag racing. F1 IS ‘follow the leader’ and car manufacturer sponsorship…and rather than call it ‘manufacturer’ they use ‘constructor’. And where’s the passing in F1..certainly not on the track. And an F1 racecar does not even sound like a racecar!! Besides, F1 gets no real promotion here in the States, and when they DO show an F1 race on television, it’s on at some ungodly hour like 2:30 in the morning… Related Product: Formula One Racing: Cars That Have Wings!Formula One Racing, the Cars, the History, the races, everything you want to know!

Here is something for the F1 lovers on why F1 isn’t the best thing since…well, since anything:
1) F1 cars have traction control, just like my street car. Actually, open wheel racing cars all use traction control. Stock cars don’t. Takes more to drive without traction control than with it, especially at Infineon or Watkins Glen, but even on the oval tracks that F1 fans think suck, because they don’t know any different. Each track has it’s own personality. And if you’re going to insult anything, get the type of track right, because there are no circle tracks. They are oval, tri-oval (oval with a bend in one of the straightaways), triangle (Pocono is a 3-turn triangle), quad-oval (think tri-oval, but with a small front stretch in the bend, see Texas Motor Speedway as an example), or road course (mentioned earlier, Infineon and Watkins Glen).
2) Can you say “Follow the Leader”, because that is what F1 resembles. Most tracks I have seen on the occassions I have been able to see F1 races aren’t condusive for passing…anywhere except near the start/finish line.
3) America doesn’t care about foreign sports because they really don’t care about us. We have the most exciting sports in North America and the world hates us for it.
4) I’d rather watch cars that look more like something I drive than something that looks like it should be flying away.
5) I hate seeing 4 cars that look EXACTLY the same on the track, and how do you see what number they are?
6) Race length. F1 races seem real short and most of what I have seen makes it look like they don’t even break a sweat. I bet no F1 driver could even FINISH all 400 laps of the Coca-Cola 600. I bet they would either crash out early when they feel like their race should be done, or they finish like 50 laps down because they get nervous when the car starts tightening up on them and they can’t figure out where the handling is going. Just plaster ROOKIE to the back of their cars, forget the stripe.
7) And finally, it’s nice when the Championship isn’t clinched with 1/4 of the season left.
Now do any F1 fans have any REAL rebuttals to this answer, or is it going to be “because they drive in circles” all the time? If Americans can’t think for following NASCAR, you all can’t think for coming up with a good reason NASCAR sucks (because it doesn’t).
I find F1 very boring. It is overrated and won’t ever be big in the US. If someone likes it ,fine, but I won’t watch it.
