Nascar

Despite what Americans will tell you, it pales in comparison to Formula 1.

They will try to say that Nascar is better because it has more races, but if they bothered to think first they'd realise that F1 is a World Championship, meaning lots of travel that takes up time. Nascar is confined to America and they don't have to travel far to get to the next race.

Nascar is also very unpopular outside America, someone here said it's getting popular all over the world including Australia which is a complete lie. It's not shown on any TV channels in Australia, it gets absolutely no media coverage and it's widely regarded as the laughing stock of world motorsport.

They'll also say things like "I'd like to see you drive one at 300kph!". Well F1 cars can go over 370kph on road courses despite over 10 tonnes of total aerodynamic and mechanical downforce, and if you've seen the Monaco GP you'd know how skilled the drivers are to race at over 300kph with metal barriers right next to the track.

If they put F1 cars on an oval they'd be around the 400kph mark. In testing at airstrips they have been over 500kph before, the sorts of speeds top-fuel dragsters do and yet F1 cars have normally aspirated engines, no super or turbochargers, no ABS, no launch control, massive restrictions on aerodynamics and tyres and so on.

F1 is also the richest and most watched sport in the world, the teams spend a combined total of over $2.5 billion per year developing the cars and still make a profit from the sport. It's also watched on TV by an average of 2.5 billion people per race.

They'll also say that races are won at the start and there's no passing, which is total BS. People who say this are just proving how little they know about F1 because there's passing at every race, including the Monaco GP.

So all these idiots who think Nascar is the best are in denial, F1 is ahead in every area.

Rough costs of F1 teams combined (in American dollars):

Wind Tunnel Operation (wind tunnels run 24 hours a day, they never stop developing the aero of the cars): $70,210,000
Car Manufacturing costs: $20,110,000
Research & Development: $175,680,000
Operating cars at tests: $359,680,000
Team Salaries: $313,640,000
Engine budgets: $1,087,500,000
Driver Salaries: $141,100,000
Travel and Accomodation: $82,880,000
Corporate entertaining: $54,150,000
Operating cars at races: $232,060,000
Final cost: $2,537,010,000

Remember, they still make a profit, that's how popular F1 is around the world.

NASCAR

NASCAR may not seem like a sport to some. But by many, its a way of life. Spend your days reapairing, adding, and removing parts needed or not, practicing at the track, sitting still for up to 5-6 hours and not being able to get out unless rain delay or serious matters occur, fighitng the g-forces to keep ur head from moving and your arms and legs stiff so you don't swerve, trying to go around a turn 3 wide in those conditions. It's just like a thing that a lot of people do, hot-rodding. In sort-of speak. We're not saying we are the best people in the world. But NASCAR has its advantages. Take hockey... the advantages are fights. Here its crashes (just as long as everyone is ok). NASCAR is critical. *Taken from the commercial* the average fan doesnt cry over a number, doesnt limit their wordrobe to a single color (scheme), won't sit out in the rain to watch their fav person win. If you say NASCAR isn't a sport, then why is footbal or hockey or any other sport considered a "sport". Football is taking a ball up and down a field. Hockey is taking the puck up and down the rink. They both have goals, so does NASCAR. We are proud no matter who says shit.

Every sport can be put in simple terms, not just NASCAR.

NASCAR

An auto-racing sport watched by rural people, rednecks, southerners, and people from America's heartland. Their fondness for this sport causes no end of grief to liberal twits and democrat oafs, who ridicule everyone who is a NASCAR fan. This proves that there must be something good about NASCAR. If Hillary Clinton and Jesse Jackson ridicule it, it MUST be good!

Do your patriotic duty! Offend a liberal! Go watch a NASCAR race!

A 2 man kegstand in which the gentleman drinking the alcohol props his legs on the shoulders of the tap holder. The holder then must jack off the drinker in an attempt to cause him to ejaculate before he comepletes the kegstand.
