F1 drivers can come from GB, Esp, Ger, Bra etc.. why not America? do Amrican people not like speed sports ?
I was going to say that F1 often uses street circuits and F1 cars don't have sat nav but that seemed cruel.My bet is that F1 tracks are too difficult for Americans, they are used to go in simple circles.
I personally can't see the appeal of a couple of hundred laps of an oval.
I don't like watching NASCAR races, but some people I know are fans, in part because they get into the minutia. NASCAR has LOTS of rules that handicap these cars to try to keep them on a more-or-less equal footing across brands and teams, and the adjustments made for some tracks make for lots of tight packs. Team-mates may battle one another, but often end up running interference, swapping drafts to conserve fuel, etc. Then there are times when some drivers have their cars set up a bit loose, and their opponents will draft them closely to loosen them up more and make them back off the throttle to stay in control on turns. I just don't get excited about all that.
Maybe there are more, wilder crashes in NASCAR?![]()
Money is certainly a factor for a lot of people. My parents couldn't afford to take me karting even when you can pay by the hour to use their equipment.![]()
