Now, don't be tarring all F1 fans with the same brush! I certainly see a lot of F1 snobbery about the place, but that doesn't mean we're all doing it. Although F1 is the only motorsport I watch religiously, I have no problem with series like NASCAR, IRL, A1GP etc., and I can certainly see the appeal of oval racing even if it doesn't grab me completely. And you're right: JPM beating several "second-tier" NASCAR drivers doesn't mean he's about to set the NASCAR world alight, and it certainly doesn't mean that F1 drivers are any better or more versatile than drivers in NASCAR. But I appear to be in a minority who believes that F1's loss was NASCAR's gain when it comes to Monty, and I am pleased to see him doing well, even if I wouldn't personally choose to follow NASCAR in the same way as I do F1. |

yeah, but only Stewart, Martin and maybe Jeff Gordon are any good on road courses.... |

Interesting viewpoint because you are a notorious F1-basher! roflmao Sometimes the ignorance you talk about is not ignorance, but personal taste. I say Nascar is boring because I find it boring. Doesn't mean I am labelling the whole thing as boring, it is just what I think. I made a comment questioning F1 websites' continuous monitoring of Montoya's Nascar exploits because he is old news when it comes to F1. There are Nascar websites if people care about his career. After all, Yuji Ide gained a bit of a fan club after Australia but we never hear of him. Fair is fair... |

I like watching the IRL following Dario Franchitti, i believe he retained his seat for this season. With a thread like this Stradlin it was always going to lead to these sort of comments |

perhaps this says something about f1 and its current drivers? nearly called them racing drivers there but that might bit misleading.

JPM is quick, no doubt he was extremley quick at Daytona (i mentioned this before) but he is having massive problems racing in a pack of cars on ovals, he doesn't yet understand how the aero's work and he often drops to the back on his own some drivers who arent so quick excell in racing in heavy traffic (Mike Wallace is a good example of this) once JPM masters this then he will get nearer the front this seasons, i think his best chance to win is on a short oval, either Bristol or Martinsville where aero's don't matter as much |

This is good to here , one of the races i watched last year he came through from quite far back to lead but then went backwards at the end because others on the lead lap put on new tyres. Its exciting and i watch it when i can.
