João Pedro Menezes, honestly im impressed Jimmy didn’t have issues around the track. No offence to NASCAR drivers but I can’t imagine they have much experience with , possibly racing lines, locking up your brakes etc.
@@vyke2107 I mean no offense, but I highly recommend watching at least part of one oval track and one road course NASCAR race to better understand the skill involved. It takes a lot of expertise to drive either type of car, but it's difficult to compare the between the two because of how different they are.
The V10 era was killing your ears, even with eartaps. the formation lap alone stopped you from screaming into someones ears, couldnt hear anything else but engines. V8 was awesome too but now V6 is so silent.
3:27 Jimmie Johnson was profoundly and beautifully poetic with his analogy/metaphor. Just perfect and shows how much driving an F1 car would mean to anyyone who’s ever driven a race car.
The NASCAR series really puts a lot more weight on the driver; in F1, if you're not Ferrari/MB/RedBull, you're a place filler. There's a lot more to it than that, certainly, but Alonso was limited, crippled really, by his car. Which is sad, since he's really a great flag bearer for the sport.
@@EchoSixMike I think he means that for the Nascar driver, it was a chance to experience the pinnacle of his sport (and the engineering therein)...which is and always has been, F1 racing.
@@stephenscholes4758 yes, F1 is the pinnacle, that said, NASCAR provides better racing and finishes. F1 rarely has close finishes. NASCAR regularly does.

I’ve never heard a NASCAR fan hate on F1 except when F1 hates first lol. Everyone knows Formula 1 fans are the most annoying motorsport fans out of everybody lol
I am a f1 fan but NASCAR is way more demanding than f1. People say “Oh F1 Pitstops are a lot faster and better than NASCAR” but F1 has like 3 People per wheel while each of the pit crew in NASCAR has to replace 2 wheels per pit stop and they are still very fast in my opinion.
@@data4163 I wouldnt say Nascar is more demanding. But I also wouldnt say F1 is either. They are 2 very different motorsports and comparing them seems like it doesnt make much sense.
I hope that wasn't it as far as coverage of the car swap. Feeling a bit underwhelmed from what i just watched. Having the level of these 2 drivers and teams.... Just expected more footage and details.
Although the NASCAR car is like something out of the Flintstones compared to an F1 car, when Lewis Hamilton drove one, he obviously had a great time with it so it may not be as fast but it might still be a lot of fun. I'm not a fan of NASCAR (I'm English - it's not a thing here) but I'd still love to drive that car.
you can get in a Nascar, and have it close to the limit pretty quick if you are an accomplished race driver, F1 car may take a few days to get close to the limit.. Jimmy could do it, but not in a few laps, never having done it before.. tire temps , brake temps, cornering forces, neck muscles, fitness, etc, plus a custom seat, left foot braking, all the drs/t/c, electronics , brake bias, and the rate at which things happen in an f1 car (normally off the mark on heavy braking into an apex).. takes time to do well, that car is almost a custom fit for Alonzo's dimensions as well, pedal length , throttle response, tps preference , driving style , plus areo setup.. set the car up nice and neutral, and hope jimmy doesn't pitch in in the wall too many times.. lol Maybe after a good few laps and a day or so , but not in the time allotted for these sawps , kinda fell for Jimmy, talent is there.. just no seat time
"The two legendary world champions went head-to-head in the desert to get a glimpse of how the other half live. And boy, was it epic." Perhaps they did, and perhaps it was. But none of that is shown here.
There was only one World Champion here. As much as I like Jimmie Johnson, he is a seven-time champion of a series that races exclusively in the U.S.. So, he is hardly a 'world' champion. Ditto, the NFL.
Evidently one of the best days of his life, what an epic experience. If only there was footage of him doing the drive, so we could watch it, instead of being told about it lol
Indy is certainly gonna be a challenge; in any given year a good amount of the field has a chance of winning. The 2 times Fernando won only 2 cars really had a chance, at Le Mans it was 1 of the 2 Toyotas or a Rebellion if Toyota were cursed again. That's just the nature of an oval track and a (semi) spec series. Edit: The 2 times Fernando won Monaco only 2 teams had a chance. In 2006 it was gonna be Renault or Ferrari, in 2007 it was gonna be McLaren or Ferrari.
As much as I'd love to see him back in F1, I don't see Renault calling him, not to replace Danny Ric, or Hulkenberg (who has been really been the backbone of the team since their rebuild, and was best of all the other drivers out of the Top 3 this year). I think it would be incredible for the sport for Renault to be competitive and have any 2 of those 3 drivers fighting at the front, especially Alonso, but I fear that won't happen
Tony Stewart and Lewis did this years ago at Watkins Glen.... It was Covered "live" on SPEED. They had both Nascar commentators and the SPEED F1 commentators covering it.
@Dawn Keebolz turn left and left and left and guess what's next you got it turn left .... nascar is not a motorsport it's a roundabout with no exits...... maybe this is why there are not many in America as they would draw a crowd
Alonso is absolute class. He's a true legendary racing driver of our age. I didn't used to like him much, but seeing him race so hard and how humble and honest he can be turned me right around. He's a great.
If you’re interested about just hearing a them talking about what could possibly happen while crappy generic music is blasting, then this is a great video!
@@benguest4834 you know that they do them on purpose right? McLaren changed the livery on their normal cars, so they also changed their livery on the test cars, which in this case are the 2013 model.
Honestly, the F1 content is improving massively. Contrary to what a lot of people assume, us who live in Europe enjoy seeing Nascars and Indi cars and this sort of interaction between F1 and American motorsport is a great way of bring that about. Alas, the footage was too short. A bit more technical detail of the Nascar would be amazing.
This is nothing to do with F1 and Liberty Media. This is McLaren and Alonso PR. Redbull have been doing this kind of stuff years ago. While Ferrari still didn't understand how to tag their driver in instagram
Agreed. As an American, F1 has really lured me in these last 2 seasons despite no American drivers and only 1 course here. Just an absolutely terrific form of motorsport!
Jimmy take it with you brother, thanks for all the great times you gave us. Your the man....again Thank you for the great Nascar Memories.....Nascar will never be the same.
In the Mclaren: Alonso set a 1:40 while Jimmie's time was only 2 tenths off of Fernando's time. In the NASCAR: Jimmie set a 2:14 while Fernando's time was 4 seconds faster with a 2:10. Now you have to remember that Jimmie has never driven on this track while Fernando has for many many years. That's probably why Fernando's time in the NASCAR was faster than Jimmie's.
@@smokeybandit9760 JJ was only 2 tenths slower than ALO? I find this hard to believe, but if so, good for JJ. It's clear that they were both way off pace from this car's performance at Bahrain in 2013... power may be dialed back a bit, but I would have assumed there would have been a larger interval... thanks for the info
I wasn't a JJ fan boy in NASCAR but he is a legitimate driver. I hope to see him run other cars in the future. I think that his time was better than Gordon and Stewart in there car swaps.
2 kinds of V8. Both sounded epic in their own way. (Compared to a V6). The F1 V8 just trumps all in volume though. Lovely! Wish we had a 2.0 V8 Turbo Hybrid with dual exhausts like the old days.
They must have so much money that NASCAR shipped a whole car and crew over from the States to *Bahrain* to run a few laps, get some brief interviews and soundbites, just to compare the drivability between the two cars. Must be nice..
The ending music is soo smooth and it's very well shot whatever camera or drone it is its lit and yeah mclaren u guys are always known for catching up cars
I love this soooo much. So many stereotypes on both sports. Glad to see mascar drivers get a little recognition for driving a car with no downforce or grip or traction control, it’s almost the most pure driving experience. F1 has a lot more electronics and aero involved, which helps the car turn and brake, but speeds are higher so it’s still a challenge. Not to mention you are outside. Lol
V6 has more torque, making it more fun to drive. I'm definitely not even close to being a car critic but from what I've experienced, fun doesn't cone from speed unless you are driving a hypercar. The fun part is the torque when you accelerate from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds, boom.
Actually, they are limited in which cars they are allowed to use, as if they ran a more modern car they could gain testing data from it for the car or driver, and they wouldn't waste the limited filming days allowed in the current one as they will always seek to gain something from it. I believe the rules say it has to be atleast 4-5 years old.
Gianluca Schaar they wont give a new one because they already use it atm so they cant risk them getting crashed or losing performance while being used by a nascar pilot. İmagine if a current mclaren crashes in a video like this. They would be in a huge disadvantage while the season is still going on
These car swaps are fun and interesting, BUT I think it would be more fair for the F1 drivers to take a lap around Daytona. Get the real experience and get scared a little.
Don't forget Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya's car swap at Indy before that. Gordon was very impressive in Montoya's Williams. William's considered signing Gordon at the time.
@@armands3153 Gotcha. You'll have to look it up. Gordon pushed the Williams pretty hard. He even overshot a corner and closely spun out like Alonso did in Jimmie's car. Gordon was an amazing talent, especially when he was younger. He would have been the best American driver from NASCAR that could have competed for wins and championships in F1. He grew up racing Sprint cars and holds many records that still stand today. I admit this and never pulled for him.
@W M Don't get mad just because Jimmie was only two tenths off of Alonso the first time driving the car. The acceleration is about the same. The biggest difference is down force ie, cornering speed and breaking. Let's ask Juan Montoya which car is more difficult to drive, let alone win with.
As someone who grew up watching NASCAR, My grandfather was a huge Richard Petty fan so there was no way of escaping it, lol. But this is my experience after reading a few comments regarding both NASCAR fans and formula 1 fans: Nascar fans: "We just like cars that go fast. 🤠" F1 fans: "Nascar is stupid and American. Therefore, making it stupid again. 🤓" F1 and Nascar drivers driving each other's cars: "That was a delightful experience and I hope I can experience something like that again! 😮"
I just dont get why every one hates this vid. I like the music, talks and that. Build the whole thing up. Almost everyone knows the v8 noise, so respect the vid for the insights. Plus, this is just a teaser
Every other racing driver driving an f1 car: "OMG OMG IT WAS SO AMAZING, THE BEST DAY IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!" Every F1 driver driving any other racing car: "Yea it was kinda cool"
Alonso, en la entrevista después del podio de Lemans, se le escapó que su intención era la Tetra Corona. Correrá en Daytona. Alonso said after the podium of lemans, who would try to overcome the triple crown, adding the championships and other iconic races. The champioships maybe not yet, but he wants to try the iconic races to catch experience.
Thank you very much! The song reminded me of a Chill Trap song that I heard years ago, and you helped me find it again. On the chance that someone else is in my position in the future, the remix was the 'Y2K & Yung Death Ray - What is love? (ft. Jaymes Young)' It's on soundcloud.
On further rabbit hole diving, I've realised that neither is the song I'm looking for, but the song in this video is 'Car Talks - DJ Denz The Rooster' and I swear he's sampled the guitar I'm looking for.
Ive got an amazing idea. Let NASCAR run a formula one track as an exhibition like how the NFL plays a game in London every year. Let them run at Monza or silverstone or Spa. See what those nascars can do.
@@rhinoman8586 no. Nascar is an American sport. They dont tend to travel internationally. But seeing them do a race in Europe would be great. Since Nascar is dying it would be an attempt at a jump start.
@@nissan300ztt Nascar used to race in Twin Ring Motegi so it's not out of the question, and they also have a Euro Nascar series with Jacques Villeneuve in it
Tacticool Millenial Nascar has 3 levels and the highest level (the one with Jimmie in it) has 3 road courses (left and right turns) and the other levels have 3-4 road courses they run too and not many people know that out of the states but it’s a stereotype that they only do left turns but look at watkins glen for example.. Anyways also NASCAR has had a ratings increase in all 10-15 races they have had so far this year and attendance has gone up and now almost every race has been either sold out or atleast 80-95% full with all tracks seating atleast 60,000 people and this is the first 1/3rd of the season and it gets even more exciting later in the season and that’s where all the hype in the states happens so it was dying but now is back on the rise again slowly but surely.
Ok F1 fanboys, Motorsports don’t need to have the fastest cars to be entertaining, imo faster cars produce more boring racing (with the exception of indycar) sometimes “the pinnacle of Motorsport” feels more like follow the leader as a professional sport, besides nascar cars are harder to drive on road courses, due to the lack of power steering and easiness to spin out.
Hey McLaren. My name is Mitch, I drive for nascar. You haven’t heard of me because I’m so good, they can’t score me with the rest of the field. I’m uh... basically invisible. yup. so you... wanna let me and lando switch rides for a day?
Funny, the NASCAR cars are built these days to be able to drive on these courses. 10, 15, 20 years ago they just were too sloppy. They have become more all around racecars with the upgraded technology.
My goodness, that's the 3rd time that I've seen a driver had done the car swap between NASCAR, & F1. Jeff Gordon, & Juan Pablo Montoya at the Brickyard 2003, Tony Stewart, & Lewis Hamilton at Watkins Glen 2011. Now, Jimmie Johnson, & Fernando Alonso get to swap cars between NASCAR & F1. As a diehard fan of racing, I like all kinds of racing. I don't do racing with two wheels, it's gotta be all 4 wheels. 🏁
if anyone wants to see a real nascar car and f1 car swap, look up Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton seat swap. Full 45min show of them driving each other's car at Watkins Glen

The technical prowess of F1 and the rawness of NASCAR is what makes this so awesome. It’s like an Olympic Fencer vs a Strongman.
This is the best analogy I've seen yet. Everyone else is just F1 fans trying to make fun of NASCAR knowing they've never watched a race
Jimmie must have thought "Hey, it's that French guy from Talladega Nights"
Sasha baron cohen
Exactly what I thought.....pretty sure Fernando was the inspiration for that character.
Fernando is a Spaniard. Not French.
@@jebediahgentry7029 Technicalities....he's also not married to a man who trains German Shepherds, but the look is too damned close.
French guy?. I can't see any french in this video, only a spanish pilot called Fernando Alonso.
The way Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon talk about driving a F1 car. It brings me chills. We need an American in formula one soon!!
There is a driver in Formula 3 so maybe in 3 years we could see him in F1
Perez is american
@@andersoncapa He's Mexican

Alonso is absolute class.
He's a true legendary racing driver of our age. I didn't used to like him much, but seeing him race so hard and how humble and honest he can be turned me right around. He's a great.
If you’re interested about just hearing a them talking about what could possibly happen while crappy generic music is blasting, then this is a great video!
here i am trying to find the music
@@Redha1o Did you find it yet?
"Here we have Jimmie Johnson's NASCAR, and here we have the McLaren car, the 2013 model" lol
"We had to go that far back to find one that wasn't shite".
@@Twannnng And they still fucked up the livery on it
@@benguest4834 you know that they do them on purpose right? McLaren changed the livery on their normal cars, so they also changed their livery on the test cars, which in this case are the 2013 model.
F1 has do many regulations, you can't just use a current model due to testing rules
It has to do with F1 testing rules, when Hamilton and Tony Stewart swapped rides in 2011, McLaren had to use the 2008 car.
Honestly, the F1 content is improving massively. Contrary to what a lot of people assume, us who live in Europe enjoy seeing Nascars and Indi cars and this sort of interaction between F1 and American motorsport is a great way of bring that about. Alas, the footage was too short. A bit more technical detail of the Nascar would be amazing.
No we dont only a tiny tiny tiny group of euro automotive viewers watch nascar. And they are often called massive idiots
Psycho Bergmuis Nice 👍 keep up the positive vibe
This is nothing to do with F1 and Liberty Media. This is McLaren and Alonso PR. Redbull have been doing this kind of stuff years ago. While Ferrari still didn't understand how to tag their driver in instagram
Agreed. As an American, F1 has really lured me in these last 2 seasons despite no American drivers and only 1 course here. Just an absolutely terrific form of motorsport!
Psycho Bergmuis someone’s compensating for something.
Jimmy take it with you brother, thanks for all the great times you gave us. Your the man....again Thank you for the great Nascar Memories.....Nascar will never be the same.
3:16 and there ladies and gentlemen the video shows us Fernando doing the "Vettel"
an American version of s🅱 innala
wowowowow that was so offansive
S🅱️inalla
@@hrnbrkisk sensitive snowflake much
Aka the s🅱️in
And the question everyone is asking, Lap times ???? Give up the goods.
In the Mclaren: Alonso set a 1:40 while Jimmie's time was only 2 tenths off of Fernando's time. In the NASCAR: Jimmie set a 2:14 while Fernando's time was 4 seconds faster with a 2:10. Now you have to remember that Jimmie has never driven on this track while Fernando has for many many years. That's probably why Fernando's time in the NASCAR was faster than Jimmie's.
@@smokeybandit9760 JJ was only 2 tenths slower than ALO? I find this hard to believe, but if so, good for JJ.
It's clear that they were both way off pace from this car's performance at Bahrain in 2013... power may be dialed back a bit, but I would have assumed there would have been a larger interval... thanks for the info
@Nanderlizer Nanderlizer Jimmie isn't even that great on road courses, Kyle Busch or Martin Truex Jr would've been way faster than JJ's time
@@smokeybandit9760 thanks
I wasn't a JJ fan boy in NASCAR but he is a legitimate driver. I hope to see him run other cars in the future. I think that his time was better than Gordon and Stewart in there car swaps.
2 kinds of V8. Both sounded epic in their own way. (Compared to a V6). The F1 V8 just trumps all in volume though. Lovely!
Wish we had a 2.0 V8 Turbo Hybrid with dual exhausts like the old days.
The V6 actually sounds epic of the limiter goes above 18000 rpm. But they can't do that because it needs to last really long
Nah F1 V10 VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Sushi nah Mazda 787b 4-rotor VROOOOOOOOOOOOMMM

Nah, Formula E. -woosh- :D
2 Great Legends in their respective sports. I wouldn't mind seeing more F1 guys trying out NASCAR and vice versa.
Miss that sound from 2013 F1, that’s the real F1 !!!!
V10 sound was better.
V10 was the sauce
3:37 I was poor so I never had that lmao
They must have so much money that NASCAR shipped a whole car and crew over from the States to *Bahrain* to run a few laps, get some brief interviews and soundbites, just to compare the drivability between the two cars. Must be nice..
A Chaps they could prolly make the chassis there I’m guessing so it’s prolly not that expensive but idk
I can never hate on Nascar. They sound amazing, and they race super close, super fast for a long period. Also love the 48 in that black livery.
Holy crap, why cover up those beautiful engine sounds with music? I love the old school OHV V8 barble of stock cars.
Would be a better video with more driving and less music.
Stan Tischendorf stfu music was perfect
@@4funHero stfu more driving

Car Talks - DJ DENZ The Rooster
Thats the happiest I have seen Jimmie in a long, long time.
I love this soooo much. So many stereotypes on both sports. Glad to see mascar drivers get a little recognition for driving a car with no downforce or grip or traction control, it’s almost the most pure driving experience. F1 has a lot more electronics and aero involved, which helps the car turn and brake, but speeds are higher so it’s still a challenge. Not to mention you are outside. Lol
Driving at COTA before 2021, this vid was ahead of its time
This was at Bahrain
Bring the F1 V8 back
V10 was the best sound.
V6 has more torque, making it more fun to drive.
I'm definitely not even close to being a car critic but from what I've experienced, fun doesn't cone from speed unless you are driving a hypercar. The fun part is the torque when you accelerate from 0 to 100 in 6 seconds, boom.
The newer cars are faster, so they won't
I really love to see things like this done. I wish we could see more drivers have this opportunity to do this.
I wish we could actually see them driving
Give the editor to this video a raise! It was high energy entertainment! Great work guys
The Music / song name is : Car Talks - DJ DENZ ;)
Thank you so much, this comment should be pinned. :D
thank you
Video is terrible compared to Montoya/Gordon and Hamilton/Stuart swaps. Too short, wayyy too short. Mostly talk, not action.
Who tf is "Stuart"?
Redfall Xenos Tony Stuart
@@8bitter696 Tony Stewart*
That's because this is a teaser of the feature.
Awh man Jim will always be my favorite racer in Nascar I've seen him every year he's at TMS
Love how they have to use an old F1 car just so it doesn’t breakdown
Actually, they are limited in which cars they are allowed to use, as if they ran a more modern car they could gain testing data from it for the car or driver, and they wouldn't waste the limited filming days allowed in the current one as they will always seek to gain something from it. I believe the rules say it has to be atleast 4-5 years old.
Gianluca Schaar thats what i was thinking
Gianluca Schaar they wont give a new one because they already use it atm so they cant risk them getting crashed or losing performance while being used by a nascar pilot. İmagine if a current mclaren crashes in a video like this. They would be in a huge disadvantage while the season is still going on
It’d breakdown anyway
ozan özenir That’s not why at all. Using a current car is against F1 rules.
These car swaps are fun and interesting, BUT I think it would be more fair for the F1 drivers to take a lap around Daytona. Get the real experience and get scared a little.
Fernando Alonso overtake on Michael Schumacher in 2005 in Japan would break every Nascar drivers neck... U Americans are just delusional
Alonso= that was a lot of fun
Johnson= THIS IS WHAT I WANT
This reminds me of Hamilton's and Stewart's back in 2011, I think it was. And also damn, Alonso is pretty quick in that car.
Don't forget Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya's car swap at Indy before that. Gordon was very impressive in Montoya's Williams. William's considered signing Gordon at the time.
@@jasonwiggins6137 I was only two then, sadly.
@@armands3153 Gotcha. You'll have to look it up. Gordon pushed the Williams pretty hard. He even overshot a corner and closely spun out like Alonso did in Jimmie's car. Gordon was an amazing talent, especially when he was younger. He would have been the best American driver from NASCAR that could have competed for wins and championships in F1. He grew up racing Sprint cars and holds many records that still stand today. I admit this and never pulled for him.
@@jasonwiggins6137 Yup, i remember Gordon was pretty kick in the Williams.I was amazed.
@W M Don't get mad just because Jimmie was only two tenths off of Alonso the first time driving the car. The acceleration is about the same. The biggest difference is down force ie, cornering speed and breaking. Let's ask Juan Montoya which car is more difficult to drive, let alone win with.
My favorite part was them talking for 4:50 and then 16 seconds of the cars going down the straight. EPIC.
As someone who grew up watching NASCAR, My grandfather was a huge Richard Petty fan so there was no way of escaping it, lol. But this is my experience after reading a few comments regarding both NASCAR fans and formula 1 fans:
Nascar fans: "We just like cars that go fast. 🤠"
F1 fans: "Nascar is stupid and American. Therefore, making it stupid again. 🤓"
F1 and Nascar drivers driving each other's cars: "That was a delightful experience and I hope I can experience something like that again! 😮"
I can imagine how Johnson felt, driving a V8 F1, man that rev sound, V8’s have no comparison
yes v10
Besides, of course, the v10.
Fernando Alonso driving the Nascar:
"GP2 Engine, GP2 engine"
Nah NASCAR stock cars have a lot of speed, but they have restrictor plates bc The accidemt of Talladega in 1987
I just dont get why every one hates this vid. I like the music, talks and that. Build the whole thing up. Almost everyone knows the v8 noise, so respect the vid for the insights. Plus, this is just a teaser
Man they took it literally when they said “a glimpse”
Every other racing driver driving an f1 car: "OMG OMG IT WAS SO AMAZING, THE BEST DAY IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!"
Every F1 driver driving any other racing car: "Yea it was kinda cool"
Someone hasn't seen the Jeff Gordon Juan Pablo Montoya swap
one of my favorite parts about nascar is the actual battling for spots on the track and the aggression drivers are able to use by hitting each other.

i want Alonso to run the Daytona 500 :)
is this just a rumor?
Yeah I want him to 'do a Kimi' and run some NASCAR races.
Nah, he'll go for the Indy 500 because he's aiming for the triple crown
I want Alonso to run the Daytona 500 and Jimmie to run the Indy 500
Alonso, en la entrevista después del podio de Lemans, se le escapó que su intención era la Tetra Corona. Correrá en Daytona.
Alonso said after the podium of lemans, who would try to overcome the triple crown, adding the championships and other iconic races. The champioships maybe not yet, but he wants to try the iconic races to catch experience.

yeah, i had to listen past some weird saxophone squeaks to hear it, but you're right.
This is such a nice vid. Love it
Ive got an amazing idea. Let NASCAR run a formula one track as an exhibition like how the NFL plays a game in London every year. Let them run at Monza or silverstone or Spa. See what those nascars can do.
they already do??
@@rhinoman8586 no. Nascar is an American sport. They dont tend to travel internationally. But seeing them do a race in Europe would be great. Since Nascar is dying it would be an attempt at a jump start.
@@nissan300ztt Nascar used to race in Twin Ring Motegi so it's not out of the question, and they also have a Euro Nascar series with Jacques Villeneuve in it
I would love to see them tearing around Monza. The high speeds, the slow corners, and Parabolica...it's like they were built for it.
Tacticool Millenial Nascar has 3 levels and the highest level (the one with Jimmie in it) has 3 road courses (left and right turns) and the other levels have 3-4 road courses they run too and not many people know that out of the states but it’s a stereotype that they only do left turns but look at watkins glen for example.. Anyways also NASCAR has had a ratings increase in all 10-15 races they have had so far this year and attendance has gone up and now almost every race has been either sold out or atleast 80-95% full with all tracks seating atleast 60,000 people and this is the first 1/3rd of the season and it gets even more exciting later in the season and that’s where all the hype in the states happens so it was dying but now is back on the rise again slowly but surely.
Ok F1 fanboys, Motorsports don’t need to have the fastest cars to be entertaining, imo faster cars produce more boring racing (with the exception of indycar) sometimes “the pinnacle of Motorsport” feels more like follow the leader as a professional sport, besides nascar cars are harder to drive on road courses, due to the lack of power steering and easiness to spin out.
This was a nice little gift in my recommended feed. Thanks McLaren.
Hey McLaren. My name is Mitch, I drive for nascar. You haven’t heard of me because I’m so good, they can’t score me with the rest of the field. I’m uh... basically invisible. yup.
so you... wanna let me and lando switch rides for a day?

Funny, the NASCAR cars are built these days to be able to drive on these courses. 10, 15, 20 years ago they just were too sloppy. They have become more all around racecars with the upgraded technology.
COTA in nascar bro!!
They already race on road courses
My goodness, that's the 3rd time that I've seen a driver had done the car swap between NASCAR, & F1. Jeff Gordon, & Juan Pablo Montoya at the Brickyard 2003, Tony Stewart, & Lewis Hamilton at Watkins Glen 2011. Now, Jimmie Johnson, & Fernando Alonso get to swap cars between NASCAR & F1. As a diehard fan of racing, I like all kinds of racing. I don't do racing with two wheels, it's gotta be all 4 wheels. 🏁
I miss the days where we could stand shoulder to shoulder and not have to have a mask on
F1 drivers have always mentioned the power when describing a cup car and what does Nascar do? Take away the power
Maybe this experience changed him, now Jimmie Johnson driving on Le Mans and he finished somewhere in the middle with nascar car, good run!
