Don't worry, I know you didn't, it seems that whenever that kind of story comes up the F1 vs American racing debate is inevitable. |

I am prepared to concede the first point, but this looked pretty brave to me ..... Gilles and Rene |

i've seen that clip before great racing, some of the best I have even seen on a non-oval problem is Penelope, that kind of racing happened once in 50 odd years of f1, its a very rare thing that IRL clip i posted is what the series is always like, great close racing everytime, its superb i think that Gilles and Arnoux clip is on Murray's Magic Moments video aswell which someone bought me ages ago for Christmas anyone else got it? |

The Rene and Gilles battle is a helluva alot more exciting to watch than guys going round for like 10 minutes barely moving in comparsion to one another , the fact that they are breaking and really requiring alot of skill and incredible precision says it all for me. |

Oh dear God. Would Bernie allow that? I mean, they might inject some sort of excitement into F1.

Your right. Bernie would never go for it. Too much excitment. |

Why don't you chill out and be a bit more tolerant?. Anyway, back to the original point before the nascar bashing set in, it would be great to see Schumi have a go at a TEST...everyones making it sound like he's going to race the Daytona 500....its just an offer of a test. And anyone who thinks racing a high speed superspeedway...or indeed a short track...is low on skill....well they're just plain mistaken.. |

you've made your mind up and thats fair enough but your missing out on some incredible racing. Tracks like Michigan and Indy and others pack as much excitement into one race as F1 gets in a whole season. |

Fio makes a good point. After watching many a boring F1 race on a Sunday morning I thanked god I had IRL or CC or both to look forward to that evening! |

most top Nascar/Irl/CC drivers would freely admit that F1 is the pinnacle of world motorsport and thats ok....I've been hooked on F1 since I was a nipper and will always be a fan of Ferrari through thick and thin...and there was a hell of a lot of thin for many years LOL. but that never precluded me from immersing myself in indycars and nascar back in the early nineties. Every form of motor sport has its own merits and CC, IRL and Nascar have many to be enjoyed, same as btcc, dtm, motogp etc.....each to his own For an example...I've never really gotten rallying...but I wouldn't say to a rallying fan ...."driving through snow and mud on your own against a clock, thats shit and the drivers are crap" ...both because I don't believe it and because even if I did it wouldn't be right to say it like that. now golf....thats another story....
