For some reason the vid on the Lambo Reventon is 1:45, or around there. Any reason for it?
It was just a prototype.

Kyle Busch wins the Coke Zero 400, and he totally deserved it. Also, Kyle Petty just bought everyone in the U.S. a Coke Zero. *shrug*

Toyota is the car to drive right now. Definitely.

Good guess.

Mark Webber screws up yet again on the front row of the British GP. He's good at that. Hamilton won in front of his home crowd.

The only win that mattered so far was Kubica in Canada. GO POLAND!

Yeah, I don't mind Kubica. Probably better that he wins the title rather than Raikkonen or Hamilton...

So I was watching some F1 racing the other day....

It is ridiculous to call those guys professionals. Kyle Busch would have destroyed them all, even if he was driving a Honda. A HONDA. And they run BMW's and Ferraris in F1!

No he wouldn't have. F1 drivers are the best in the world. F1 cars are the most difficult. They may look easy, but that because they have years of training under their belts. Jeff Gordon took a swing in an F1 car a few years ago and he said it was the hardest thing he had ever done and Gordon is twice the driver that Busch could ever hope to be.

If you still don't believe that an F1 cars are hard to drive watch this.

Don't feel like watching a 10 minute video.

If they're the best drivers in the world, why do those who decide to enter NASCAR get killed and finish 30th all the time?

It's be the same reason that a NASCAR driver would have a hard time in F1: it's a different type of car. and it takes some getting used to.

An Formula 1 driver has to get used to a car that is slower, weighs twice as much, handles like a Sherman Tank.

A NASCAR driver would have to get used to driving a car that requires you to have the concentration of a Zen Master, the reflexes of a ninja and the guts of Evel Knievel.

Let's not forget a well made car, which is another reason Nascar and F1 is different. Nascar's entries are just heavily modified road cars with big engines and a rollcage, where as F1 cars are specially made, one-off machines.

You could probably see my point by watching This. This guy escapes with only a broken ankle. Get it yet?

Actually with the introduction of the Aero-equal body styles and now the COT, the cars that race in NASCAR have nothing in common with their road going counterparts.

That crash scared me. The last crash I saw like that was Senna's. He's lucky he only had a broken ankle.
