Yeah, I'd take F1 over NASCAR anyday. The cars are so far from "stock" that they're as big a joke as their painted on headlights.
Racing around an oval just doesn't do it for me. Excitement in overtaking? I guess I'm not easily excited.
In my limited experience it seems to me that he leaderboard is more dictated by the skill of the pit crew (in getting cars in and out quickly) and luck (rather than driving skill). In the few races I've watched, I walked away pretty much convinced that like wrestling the performance was fixed. How else can it be that some cars can go into the pits and move up and down the ranking by 15 places and others don't move. I can suspend reality only so long.
...and a nice quote I heard a week or so ago, "you're not trying hard enough if you're not cheating." Nice.
