i attended the first f1 race at indy a few years back. it was awsome. i just find the technology and the driving skill to be far more superior than nascar. I know many in the usa would not agree. I think nascar has great marketing. They know how to sell their sport. I mean they might as well call Speed chanel the nascar channel. They have a great variety of programes to keep fans interested. Flashy ads so on and so on. But as far as the automotive inovation and driver skill is concerned f1 is the pinnicle. Most of the technology that you find in the average car today had its begginigs in f1 (trac control, abs, seqential shifting, ect). I beleive only the best drivers in the world can master those machines and have a working knowledge of them. and as far as nascar drivers are concerned i think jeff gordon would be the only one that could handle an f1 car.
