Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Anyone who thinks oval track racing is easy is completely off their rocker. This is about as close as you get without actually getting in the car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSLzs2ocA5s You know it is amazing that there are not more crashes. These driver and their reflexes are super human. The dirt in your face is one thing, 700+ HP and no electronic aids is another. Any type of high speed racing is extremely dangerous and for some to even consider this as an easy drive knows zero about real power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 So just finished watching the Moto GP in Austin TXGrand Prix of The Americas Still light-speed out there. 210mph on the back straight ? What a race ! Those crazy Spaniards just dont quit.Circuit of the America's is a fantastic track. The designers did a great job of combining high speed along with highly technical sections. I easily think it's one of the better tracks on the F1 calendar in terms of entertainment value. I'd also really love to see NASCAR's top series race there. I think it'd be one hell of a show.

Sprint cars are the most insane race car there is, IMO. 900 hp, mountains of torque, a massive wing, all on a car that weighs 1300lbs and running on an incredibly slick surface.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Chinese GP ! On now 10 laps in this stunning yet ridiculously engineered and extremely technical course demands endurance. The first 4 corners can claim even the most seasoned veterans. Nice straights and plenty of hard braking zones for some excitement ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklax Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Massa's pit crew literally crucifies him.... bumped to last spot lol Hamilton is on jet fuel ..again ? Descent dance so far. That was terrible. "Oh this tire goes one the other side? Ok I'll think about it for a minute and then try again" Bottas still looking good for a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Vettel is such an asss. Ricciardio is clearly faster get out of the waaaaayyy ! I really like Rosberg's style. Very smooth yet aggressive. Bottas is going to be a star : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now try it at night when most of the dirt races take place, also remember no mirrors or spotter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I hope Mercedes don't bring team orders into play as has been rumoured, Rosberg and Hamilton fighting tooth and nail was the highlight of the last ten F1 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
