comparing nascar to f1 is like comparing monster trucks to spaceships

NASCAR makes insane amounts of money and has attendance well over 100,000 at a ton of races. I'm positive they don't care what you think of it.

>>60181025
Keep turning left.... and now turn left.... and now straight...

F1s been shit this last decade, early 2000 is when it started to get worse. It's prime was 80s and 90s tbf.

>>60178557
The thing is that americans get bored quickly when they don't win. So they found new types of sports where they can be good in, e.g. Nascar, Indycar or handegg.

You obviously care. Cartoonish overhyped bullshit like most american sport.

>>60181430
So do reality shows. Doesn't mean it's consider a sport or it's intersting in a meaningful way.

As far as I know America doesn't have any support systems or feeder series for young drivers to progress up the ranks into F1. I guess you could say that Indy is a feeder series, but even back when it wasn't a complete joke, the only 2 drivers of significance to come out of IndyCar were foreign (Villeneuve and Montoya).

Actual Americans wanting to get an F1 seat might still be hindered by the spectacular failure that was Michael """""Andretti""""" at McLaren.
