Just The Facts
1. NASCAR consists of driving in a small circle several hundred times, which people somehow screw up. Possibly through boredom.
2. NASCAR drivers are paid up to $200 every time they turn left, and scraped onto a stretcher every time they don't.
3. Systems built to keep NASCAR drivers (and fans) alive are a worse attack on evolution than Intelligent Design.
Being a NASCAR fan myself, I find this pretty funny![]()
The oval vs F1 debate in terms of driver skill is always ongoing, on the sim level i can say that a good road course driver can adapt to ovals and be quite fast, however its a totally different way of driving and does take some time and skill to learn, but it uses all the skills the road racer has learnt. On the other hand an oval racer cant just simply walk into a road racing event and be fast, so many skills in road racing are used that oval drivers do not need and thus the transition is so much harder and barely any can do it.
Multiple NASCAR drivers have entered into endurance road races for things like the Daytona 24 Hours and done very well. There have been professional drivers from both forms switch to the other and both directions have their successes and failures.Wait. Wasn't it the other way around?I'm sure I have read various people comments in this forum that say that.
Really? Because Jeff Gordan seemed to be pretty fast in a F1 car.The oval vs F1 debate in terms of driver skill is always ongoing, on the sim level i can say that a good road course driver can adapt to ovals and be quite fast, however its a totally different way of driving and does take some time and skill to learn, but it uses all the skills the road racer has learnt.

Thats my take on it from a world class Sim Racing point of view.
As for the pic i enjoy it and did laugh, but i do respect the top nascar drivers.. while not having driven them in real life ive done the next closest and raced the top oval simulators online against some of the very best..
He had reason to smile. On the second-lap of the second segment, having mastered the luxury of traction control and precision braking, Gordon laid down a lap just 1.3 seconds slower than Montoya's best of the day in the same car.
There's a guy? Where?The hair of the guy in the second pic is beautiful.
Those aren't hairs & that's not a guy.The hair of the guy in the second pic is mezmerizing. o.o

You do have a naked chicks thread there, right?
How you knew that from looking at her is 1 thing. How I didn't & still knew that name is another.She's called Lucy Pinder. Google her if you are old enough for that sort of thing.
Absolutely. 👍
It's been merged with the Class-A drug use thread and the Credit Card Fraud Club thread.
What ever happened to the cybering thread?
OK, I think this discussion is headed into the wrong sort of territory...
