yea they changed it this year. not sure why but i love racing that goes from the day into the night. Makes it more interesting.
>>
>>686785414
Mmmm, sorry, I shouldn't've said Nascar, just racing in general. Its retarded. Its the imbecile's sport. Not fun to watch, or listen to people talk about. Hell, going to airshows is more entertaining than going to any race. No matter what circuit or or whatever, all racing is fucking dumb.

Americans don't get racing.
>>
>>686786883
I understand it, doesn't mean it's less stupid. Racing is just garbage, if I wanted to watch something go in circles for a couple hours, I'd rather sit in a bathroom and watch the toilet water circle the drain as I flush the toilet over and over and over again. Its be far more entertaining than watching a bunch of hillbillies driving in a circle, praying there's a crash with multiple casualties. Maybe if you were actually racing, i could understand it, but just watching the race? Its the most mindnumbingly boring thing ive had the displeasure of doing. Its just another excuse for rednecks to get drunk and scream.

Well.. either you are intersted in it.. or not, I think the same about football, neither american football or football/soccer.. how you can watch men fighting over an ball to throw/kick it into an goal? Garbage - but playing actually is fun, but watching? No thanks. Its just about interest, if you dont like it - dont mind it, its okay.

Nah, it's far more exciting watching a plane crash than a couple cars.

Oval racing is relatively complex. I'll give you it's boring as fuck 99% of the time though.
>>
>>686784059
Indy 500 is European rip off bullshit. American is NASCAR.

Yeah I guess. I think most sports in general are boring, there's other things I could be doing or watching that are more important/entertaining. But racing just takes the cake. To be fair, id probably do better racing than trying to participate in other sports. But I just have no interest in it.

I'm not american, but I can probably name at least 50 of the major competitors and winners.

It is one of the three greats of Motorsport: Monaco, Le Mans, Indianapolis.
>>
>>686788293
Yeah, plus planes are just mechanically more interesting to watch, especially in motion. I can go see cars being driven wherever I go. I don't always get to see close up planes doing some flying.
>>
>>686788329
>To be fair, id probably do better racing than trying to participate in other sports.
No way. Try to drive around a track, circles with over 180mph, it takes more than strengh, its not easy as it may look.
I like it, its in my interest, I like the thing and talk about the phsysics that goes into it. Of course most of time - sometimes - its boring but nevermind, still better than some other sport.
>>
>>686788152
To me it pretty much is. Watching people drive cars just isn't very interesting to me. It may be far more interesting and complex to the driver, but as a spectator it does nothing for me.
>>
Does anyone have a link to a free live streaming of the Indy 500?
>>
>>686788606
Yeah I'm aware, I didn't say if be good at it, it just to a bit better at it than if I tried doing other sports. But I agree with to each their own, racing just ain't my thing.

>Yeah, plus planes are just mechanically more interesting

when you reach F1 / Indy levels of tech, grip and speed, there's not a lot of difference between aircraft and racecars.
>>
>>686788745
Hence you probably don't understand it. Oval racing aside, sprints, drifts, hillclimbs, rallies, endurance are imo alot more interesting to watch. F1 is hit and miss.

Alot of things are based on pit and tyre strategy. If you don't get that, you're basically reading a book in a language you don't understand.

Oh is that the Geoff Bodine's crash in Daytona 2000? He didn't die, but had multiple fractures

yup

That worked. Thanks.

Love that one, pretty much the worst crash in history, my all time favourite, amazing he didn't die.

>>686789184
I'm not advocating other sports more than racing, I think pretty much all sports are dumb. But just because the possibility of a fatal failure is there doesn't make the actual racing part any more interesting.
>>
>>686784059
Fuck Indy cars. They just can't compete against the superior F1 cars
>>
>>686789354
Yeah I suppose, but it's also like me trying to read a book I couldn't care less about. I'll just put it down and go do something else.

Well when I see a herd of F1 race cars screaming across the sky overhead, then I'll start watching and enjoying racing more.
>>

no but it makes it more exciting.
That is why chess does not have a huge following during world championships
>>
>>686790197
Coke Zero 400, 2015, Austin Dillon? Oh yeah, loved that one, where the engine completply falls apart from the car and is about over 10 feet away from the car, but completly intact, the whole engine itself
>>
>>686790074
Pretty sure, at least for one year, they were actually faster in a straight line. Can't turn them though.

>>686790148
No you just don't understand the book and you decide you don't care about it, but really you have no idea about it.

Don't play: admit you have no idea, accept the fact that your opinion is founded upon the logic of 'I don't get it, so I don't like it' because you're a bit simple in the head.
>>
>>686790438
Chess is more intellectually stimulating. Chess is far more a battle than racing is. And the possibility of something isn't exciting to me, it's when that something is happening. But hours of racing for hopefully a few minutes of wrecks is not a good way to spend my time.

on an oval Indy cars rule, road course F1 rules. but your dumb for not understanding the thread
>>
>>686790787
How about I admit that I don't understand it, but I can tell you from experience (learning things I didn't care about) that even if I did understand it, it wouldn't make it any more important or entertaining to me. Knowing how a colon works doesn't mean I suddenly like watching people take a shit. Knowing the 82nd and puts of racing and racing vehicles isn't gonna make me enjoy watching people drive their cars any more.

Comparing how a colon works to sport, makes it pretty clear that you are either autistic, or have some other mental deficiency.

cause she got hit with some debris during the crash. Sued for like 15 grand or something
>>
>>686792165
Not really, just shows how I feel about watching sports. Its boring, slightly repulsive, and there's literally a universe of other things I'd rather be doing.

>>686791758
Eh, as racing goes, I agree that F1 is the better tier, but just racing in general is not a thing that gets my blood going. I saw F1 race in Montreal visiting family one year, I think it was 2013 or 2014 or something. It was alright, but not something I'd make into a hobby.
