Admin why is this on the United board when I posted it on the F1 board?
Nascar is mental. I don't really watch either anymore but to be a Nascar(why is my phone writing Nascar in capitals?) driver you need some serious stones. Going 200mph with people "rubbing" your car with theirs. People that say that Nascar is easier don't really appreciate just how dangerous it is.
NASCAR is also 200 laps each race isn't it? Barely follow motorsport but 200 laps one driver in such high tension racing must be hard.
Daytona 500 is 500 miles (200 laps). I find F1 boring it's just lap after lap without much happening but you don't have to watch Nascar for long to see some drama.
Lost interest in formula one about a decade ago. Made too many changes.
Haven't watched any tho season but people don't seem to like it at all.
Never really watched nascar, but there are a lot more cars on the track.
Both require driving skill.
Back in the day i would have clumped for an f 1 driver.
Do people often die/ get seriously injured in NASCAR? It seems very dangerous.
Which is more difficult? Tough to say one requires more technical driving ability the other requires concentration and serious balls.
F1 is better than NASCAR, there is no comparison
From a danger point of view there is nothing in it.
From a difficulty point of view one is carried out on circuits that have turns on it where you have to turn corners at speed, the other is driving round an oval track at a constant speed turning left only.
From a spectator view point one has overtaking done on corners and chicanes the other is driving round in a circle for three hours.
F1 also races in the wet, the other one does not.
VC is spot on. Drivers have to be much more skilled in F1, watching a car go around an oval track is boring as well. I mean, if there weren't any crashes would anyone watch it?

When I go into a bar and Nascar is on you will see the locals with their Nascar shirts and jackets on playing the golf machine. They only watch the race If their is a crash or it is the last 10 laps.
F1 has many cars trying to over take each other at 150mph+ too, but on many varying turns and bends.
F1 is the sport that requires more 'skill'

No comparison really. Also Touring car racing is better than Nascar Imho
Nascar is basically touring cars without corners so of course TC is better and F1 is a more high tech version of touring cars.
Their is a reason why F1 is seen as the pinnacle and why NASCAR is only watched by red necks
Now that Lewis is in a decent car my interest in F1 is flying high .
