NASCAR = Boredom.
Hours on end of left turns....
I rank it next to Baseball in terms of boredom.

Bathurst 1000 > NASCAR.

Sorry I'm with Scope on this one. I'm more interested in whats under the hood than the race.

Rally and touring car > All

Then explain why so many open-wheel drivers are going over to NASCAR?

out of all the statements in this thread, i agree with this one the most

[Major Fuckup]

woo hoo some support now lets take on DC and tomorrow the world XD
i like F1 more than Nascar even though when Nascar have some one crash they do it in with full auto-destruction
but crashes in bathurst they go out in style XD

[BeefJeRKy]

The Bathurst videos I've seen are indeed quite extreme. As for F1, it used to hold a certain place in my heart until they castrated it

So many American drivers. The rest of the world appreciates that a few right turns here and there really spice up a race.

I fell asleep while watching bathurst. :s
I seriosuly can't watch any sports/motorsports without getting extremely tired or bored.

[TehKiller]

F1 is good to watch but damn amusing when its raining (too much unpredictable stuff happen)

[Sicarius]

I prefer Le Mans races and the like over NASCAR or F1 anyday.
Left, right turns, high speeds and the cars actually look different from each other.

But my dad loves NASCAR, and would definitely agree with your pick. (huge Mark Martin fan)

You don't see F1 cars running into Kangaroos.

You do at Bathurst, therefore Bathurst is superior.

[Warbz]

.That's not a good thing/.

[D.K.]

Jeez, noone watches WRC - Where is more fun than drifting at maximum speed through some track in Australian bush?

24 Hours of Le Mans > F1 and the drama that goes with it.

Apparently, NASCAR is an easy "sport" to watch if you're hammered. Oh look! They're making a left turn...and another one! Face it, NASCAR is only interesting if there's a crash involving half the field or when they go to Sear's Point.

If you were to build a proper race car, everyone knows you wouldn't build it like those in NASCAR. Up until recently, they used leaded petrol (how rubbish is that?) And now NASCAR is using what they call the "car of tomorrow", which is designed after what the GT series has been using for years (cars with aerodynamic aides such as front splitters, rear diffusers, and proper deck spoilers.

[Major Fuckup]

lol nascar burn XD

I really hate the COT, it makes the races much more boring. but on the upside, it's also much safer.


but the appeal of NASCAR is that it can be considered an everyman sport, at least more so then F1. the cars they drive in NASCAR are much more akin to the car that you drive on the street.

[TehKiller]

a street in the US....most of Europe cant support those kind of cars (there simply aint roads for them)

[BeefJeRKy]

LeMans '99 CLR Flip >> Kangaroos
