Debate with my roomate: Nascar vs. Rally, F1

[Raxe]

I'd like to see any person here drive at 200mph within reaching distance of another car and tell me it's easy.

[Sailor37]

put a nascar driver on a rally course, and he'd get his ass beat all day long.

on the other hand, put a rally driver in nascar race, and he'd probably do reasonably well.

[e30slidewayz]

I'd vote for rally being the most difficult due to the unpredictability of the track. The conditions can change from one pass to the next not to mention there can be several surfaces changes within the same stage. Plus.. you don't have the opportunity to pull into pit lane every few minutes. That said, I'd have a hell of a lotta fun being in the drivers seat of any one of those cars; be it rally, nascar, or F1.

My favorite type of racing to watch by far is motocross. So much skill, so much endurance, and the races are usually close as hell every time.

I don't think nascar is easy, however I do think it is incredibly boring to watch. All the tracks are generally the same. Just to much repetition. Plus it completely takes over speed channel.

[T Verdier]

that's the worst counter-argument I've ever heard.

A proper counter argument would be:

Horse racing, show jumping, or dressage?

Ranch, honey-mustard, or blue cheese?

I did that last week. Then right after I pulled my ebrake and drifted my way out of a would've been accident

[mdlimy]

Downhill bigwheel racing is harder than nascar.

Lolll, qft!

Analogy fail as well............ you have never attended nor heard of 3 day eventing have you. Same horse and rider compeat in all 3 of thoes events over a 3 day period. Its a olympic event for fucks sake

[SpyHunter]

LMAO, I bet 90% of the people here haven't turned a wheel on a race track, let alone raced wheel to wheel. All require skill. Make fun of Nascar all you want. Didn't Dale Earnhardt win the 24 hours of Le Mans? That is probably easy to do, too. Drag racing is simple, as well. Just have to floor it when the light turns green. Anyone can do it. Really.

At any rate, you train for the sport you are going to compete in. Each is it's own specialty. Each has it's own special skill set. All require a greater sense of car control than the majority of the posters in this thread possess.

LMAO at all the ignorance being displayed.

I know nothing about horse riding, but they all involve riding a horse, don't they? Just because a sport involves a ball and a players doesn't mean they can be related. I actually think you proved my point, however. Some riders would be more skilled at one vs another I would assume.


but anyway, I don't know, since I'm not a bitch. :giggle: (I'm just kidding by the way)

[joshh]

NASCAR is a fucking joke for racing. Yes it's hard to keep a car up to the highest speed possible but not having to move the steering wheel more than 20* the entire fucking race. And I just love the drama.....not. Do these guys get paid to create drama?



Rally racing is for the pure insane. Flying by trees at over 100 mph regularly. That's why I watch it and don't do it. All respect for those guys.


While F1 is the pinnacle of technology in racing and people whine about how the cars do all the work, these guys have to be accurate and extremely consistent or they get passed. Though I hate some of the rule changes.

[Roysneon]

Anyone who doesn't agree that racing is racing and they all have their skill sets and all take practice, talent and skill is a fucking ricer, bottom line.

I don't care that much for stock car racing, but knocking stock car racing just to seem like some kind of credible, knowledgeable track guru is pathetic.

[Jparkr]

Formula 1 is the most difficult in terms of driver consistency and physical endurance.

Rally is most difficult in terms of reaction speed and adapting to different elements.

And Nascar is the most difficult in terms of patience and relying on the team (spotter)

So true, most of the people who knock Nascar don't know two shits about driving anyway.
