I would venture to say that anything (including NASCAR) sounds more exciting if those two Japanese guys in the background were doing the commentary. Ooof

If Nascrap would do road courses instead of ovals for EVERY TRACK,
Last time I checked Watkins Glen and Infenion were not even close to ovals. As for which one is more lame, I don't think either one is lame. Each has it's own challenges and I find both very entertaining.

ok my .02

in order of viewing pleasure:
-F1
-WRC
-Drifting (pretty much on par with WRC depending on the event and who is driving)
-any other form of motorsport (rolex series)
-NASCAR

NASCAR used to be fun to watch back in teh 60's when they used REAL cars. If they brought back stock factory v8's in stock body cars with minimal upgrades and loosened all the regulations (and maybe put in a few right turns and some interesting commentary) then you would have something people would watch. of course ud have to change the name from nascar to soemthing else because a lot of ppl are biased already when they hear that term.

lol Any drifting event will never be on par with the level of skill involved in the WRC.

note that I listed "in order of viewing pleasure" not driver skill

just on a side note tho some of the D1GP drivers also participate in JGTC (GT300 and GT500 cars on teh track at the same time) which is just about as crazy as WRC...skill level is high for all types of drivers its jsut that different skills are emphasized.

i dont get the speed channel at rutgers so i catch WRC religiously when im at home it is amazing to watch

remind me again - what's not real about purpose-built cars designed for a specific race series? Seems to me that describes a whole lot of racing, not just NASCAR. As for "something people would watch," maybe you should check out the number of people that watch NASCAR currently, and compare those numbers to the people that watch the racing you seem to think are "something people would watch." :/
