F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen to the NASCAR

[ACE]

So close for junior today .  Harvick had fresher tires dangit!

Man...he really is "the closer".

Pretty impressive.

Dale is knocking on the door.....glad he didn't try to "build the high groove" like he does on the faster tracks which will eventually pay off for him.

You sure about that? I dont recall Stewart,Montoya or Danica having to do that.

I know Danica, Montoya and Franchitti all ran ARCA before NASCAR. I'm pretty sure Tony did as well, but I can't find his first ARCA race. It may just be certain tracks they required it on like Daytona and Talladega or it may be a case by case basis. But every driver I can remember that did a crossover had to run ARCA at least once to prove they could handle a stock car before NASCAR let them run.

That was a nice pass but Im sure it happens all the time when you have two types of racing going on at the same track at the same time. The real shock would be if it didnt.
 I would love to see someone create a racing game along those lines. Your not only racing the other guys in your division,but trying to avoid the slower guys as well. Could get mighty interesting.

Its already happening in Rfactor. I participated in the 12 Hours of sebring last saturday with 3 other drivers with driver swaps, live commentary and every little thing.. I had a blast


My response to the LMS Paul ricard start:

Simpletons all of you.

Everybody who's anybody KNOWS, that the greatest and most eloquent form of motor sport is motorhome racing.

Sadly it has now been supplanted by airport vehicle racing.

IMO he will be just like montya, good on the road courses, but won't be able to handle the ovals to well.

 Like Rowdy said..... Now go get your own car and lets see how you do in the pack.

I guess the 39 guys that finished behind him last weekend can't handle the ovals to well either.

 Martinsville is a wierd place. Take Jr for instance. Hes sucked all year but almost pulled that race off. Montoya isnt the worst driver out there,but hes never gonna win a championship. It will be a victory for him just to make the chase.

That Falken paint job looks good no matter the car, damn..

Watching motorcycle racing for so long, it's so strange to watch car racing where on pretty much any track there's only enough room for about 3 cars.  And there's so little visible expression of the chassis as with bikes via the rider on top of it moving around. 

Doc-  LFS also does this to some degree, but not sure how active those mixed class LFS leagues are now that the scheduled game update is beyond late.
