Dumbest sport such a waste of resources. Not even any moonshine at stake.

Competitive driving in circles.

It’s not my thing, but competitive driving in circles at a consistent 180-200mph (290-320kph) with a certain tolerance for bumping. That’s a non-trivial motor sport.

Its also a hell of a thing in person.

40 cars making 670hp screaming past at 300kmh… its fucking visceral. 25000 hp screaming past your seat in about a second or 2.

I also think top fuel drag racing on TV is boring as shit, but watching a top fuel dragster make a pass in real life is exciting.

for hours at a time, in the summer, usually in the South, in a car with no AC… and if you’re doing it right, the only thing visible ahead of you is the car in front’s rear end. I love it.

Nah, that was a boring race. We’re all here for the wrecks and spinouts that allow some positioning changes.

My American mind can’t either…f1, WEC, WRC all make sense to me and I love them but Nascar and even indycar to an extent I just don’t vibe with.

Do it at over 300km/h for 2 hours. And if you touch anyone, you might die.

No, they just banned the Confederate flag. Apparently that means it’s past its prime.
