That is funny. :laughing:

You know, IMS looks quite different then those ovals.  The four left turns are individual of each other.

I like races where cars fly, sometimes drive at suicide speed in a twisty road next to a cliff on one side and spectators on the other.

:D

Most certainly. Oval races are among the most dangerous in the racing sport world. High speed next to a concrete wall. Never said it wasn\'t safe. In fact, that\'s what draws a lot of fans to the sport.

In Rally races, they race on real world conditions - public roads. Trees rain, sleet, snow, wind, mud, rocks, rivers....that\'s their road course. And yeah, they do half their races on pavement. Both WRC and oval racing are equally dangerous.

But WRC is also dangerous to the spectators. More fans are killed than in any other sport.

Crazy stuff.

And Go Andretti! (their family sometimes do rallies as well :D )

You have good taste.  Andretti is my pick too.

BTW track marshalls in F1 are crazy.  And who in their right mind would stand 5 feet from a wet muddy road from a car sliding through it at 70 mph?

Concrete wallls dont draw me personally to oval racing.  Thank fully indy got softwalls installed.

Castroneves won the race.  Off of pit strategy.  What sucks is that on restarts the laped cars start inbetween the cars on the lead lap.

It sucks how someone who didnt deserve to win, does.

This race has been horrible.  Too much blocking.

They need to do something about the lapped cars because its killing the racing.

Anyways helio, you dont deserve it.

Anyone who wins off of pit strategy dont.

Cant wait till some real racing called Formula 1 comes on...
