:rolleyes:

(Guy laying on his side watching a NASCAR race)  :D

12 Hours of Sebring was on over the weekend - watched some of that.  Ive never had much interest in NASCAR - it seems to me to be a bunch of uneducated drivers talking smack before and after playing demolition derby in a circle.

Some of the commentary is priceless, however.

I saw it narsus. Best race ending I've seen in a looong time, but then, I'm a hick from the south. I'm partial to the "uneducated" types.

I only actually started watching racing in general a couple years ago when I started playing Grand Prix Legends, and NASCAR 4.

I enjoy watching much more now, just due to understanding how difficult it is to get around a track.

I watch CART, IRL, NASCAR, Lemans, F1 etc. but my favorite above all else is the WRC now that is driving.

I agree - the WRC guys are amazing.  If I had to rank drivers by skill level...

1.  WRC
2.  F1


3.  CART












4.  NASCAR

Well I agree, that whole not having to turn right thing cuts out half the difficulty right there.

I enjoy Nascar because the racing is much closer than many other series, I hope F1's new rules will help the "racing" in that series, last season was rather dry to say the least.
