Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If they put Michael Schumacher up against , lets say, Dale JR in an F1 car, Michael would own him. If they were both racing in nascar cars, than I'll bet Dale would win. How about we put them both in Rally Cars or Go-Carts and see how things go.

i only have two comments to make on this topic....

one... why is someone who drives a superior car automatically a better driver than someone who drives a car with crumby handling? (comparatively speaking) Also, in F1, a lot of a driver's ability to compete depends on the car. In NASCAR it's diver versus driver. The only things you can change on the car are the things that help YOU drive it faster. This seems to feed the idea that a NASCAR driver is better. Doesn't it?

my second comment is that NASCAR sucks and it would probably be better if they ran on more road courses and less on ovals. I love the idea of everyone driving an equal car.

Because anything with 4 wheels governed by FIA has not been properly sold to the our mostly unrefined market :roll:

Only the hard core

fans, get up in the early am on a sunday to watch F1 on Speed channel or kill their young for a trip to the USGP.

I hope some day we'll be able to get WRC in some shape or form but then with the liabilities presented by our lawsuit-happy society, who knows...

I love formula one but i also love drag racing and nascar, they are just 3 totally different types of racing. It takes tons of skill in all of those sports and you cant hate on something just because it's not your favorite.

simple. Only 1 race in the whole season in the States.

Competition from their own racing series which frankly is probably more exciting to watch from a spectators point of view.

Only one manufacturer from USA in the series and no drivers from there.

there is only 1 race in Canada? No Canadian companies? At the moment no Drivers? so i don't see your point

I grew up watching F1 racing. I wish that F1 can get bigger in the U.S too. There aren't that many people I know here in the U.S that watch F1. Yea, well, F1 was quite boring for the past few years but overall F1 has lots of pretty damn good races. Well, hopefully 2004 season would be better than 2003. 2003 season was pretty good and definitely couldn't wait until this year's F1 season to start.

which races are good in F!???????the latest years we except a miracle to happen to see a pass...with the new rules there goes the old school of F1 which made it so popular....they have to do some changes such as bring tyres with slicks back etc....the F1 has to be more spetacular....if i am correct in U.S there are races CART NASCAR that are spetacular so the american don't need a <<boring>> F1...
