Hi, Guest
NASCAR addicts will freak, but there's no skill anymore. Everyone's just preying on everyone else's lack of attention for a split second, and then it's over. 1st ---> 5th place and someone else wins.
If you run a perfect line 24/7 you'll do fine, but come on... who does that day in and day out?
When they're all restricted in power, technology, weight... the end result is a herd of high-octane turtles going around the track, with a larger herd watching. Go fast, turn left, 3 turtles report to the winner's circle please.
Le Mans - exotic, but at least you can recognize the players. WRC - colourful, but challenging and there's individuality. A WRC Focus looks nothing like a Mitsu or anything else, but you can get a fairly similar Focus the next day at Ford. Even sport truck racing / enduro runs (more exotic, akin to rallying) still shows trucks that bear a significant resemblance that you don't have to "read between the ads" to see.
NASCAR - The Whore of Babylon. Vanilla bodies, identical performance and appearance across the board, and more advertising than should be allowed. It stopped being a sport quite some time ago and turned into the WWF of motorsports. Wrestlers have personalities too, but the competition is just as fake.
I hope Ford leaves. It will be money better spent elsewhere.
