Ok, I know this is probably a stoopid question for all of the race fans out there, but what are the main differences between F1 and the Indy cars like Danica drives? Please keep the to a minimum.

Which cars are faster? Is Indy ususally just on oval tracks like NASCAR?

The F-1 cars run street circuits and permanant road courses with no ovals

They're schedule is this:

What is cart then? I'm finding F1 to be pretty interesting. I've watched more F1 races on Speed this year than ever before. Actually, I don't think I've ever watched an F1 race until earlier this summer.

Cart has some ovals and for the most part road/street courses

They are powered by turbocharged Ford/Cosworth engines

IRL by Honda N/A engines

F-1 by a variety of different makes

Ok, I have the impression that IRL cars are subject to a lot of rules and regulations, kind of like NASCAR, in an attempt to even the playing field. And it seems to me that F1 cars are not so much restricted when it comes to technology and crap.

Am I correct here?
