I don't understand the appeal of NASCAR, but I love how much the US fans love it. You can tell by the enthusiasm in the American commentators' voices that NASCAR is their passion. It seems like NASCAR hasn't forgotten its fans in the same way that F1 has. I'm a huge F1 fan don't get me wrong, but even the most ardent fans would agree that we're somewhat priced out now. Also forgive me for being ignorant on the names of the US commentators.
NASCAR has been hemorrhaging fans for almost a decade now so I don't think our situation is all that different. In particular, NASCAR television coverage tends to be downright awful and the Chase format (a 'playoffs' round that stresses wins over points) doesn't sit right with a lot of fans. The 2014 season was great, though, and next year's new rules package might shake things up, so we'll see. On the appeal of NASCAR: I don't think it's F1 vs NASCAR so much as road racing vs oval racing. Road racing demands more technical driving, but the delta between cars means there's less direct "racing" per se. In an oval race, the challenge isn't navigating the track so much as navigating the other drivers on the track (and making sure your car doesn't fall apart in the process), which I find more compelling to watch. That said, this year's race at Watkins Glen was awesome.
Geraint Atherton For me, i used to like Formula 1 since i'm from Europe but it got so boring because all the rules and shit. I miss the v12 engines from when Michael Schumacher drove(if they had a v10 correct me) I miss the loud engines, that's why i looked into Nascar because the engines in Nascar are so loud and there is just something special about watching 20-30 people racing at 200 mph inches apart from eachother, that's what excite me about Nascar.
Honestly, don't know why NASCAR gets so much, I mean NASCAR is way more than just turning left and I guess alot of people don't understand or whatever. But to me both NASCAR and F1 are awesome sports. STOP fighting
Uh, Lewis. That thing ain't ment to rev up to 12,000 RPMS! Lol. Love it when they do seat swaps like these. With they would do them more often. The only other major one I remember is Jeff Gordon in Juan Pablo Montoya's Williams F1. That and I know Jimmie Johnson has driven a Corvette C6.R.
He's an F1 driver being used to driving 300km/h while fiddling with the steering wheel and taking specific instructions over a radio. I'm sure he can manage shifting with the other hand.
What I'm impressed with is how good Lewis is running that loose car. He's such a natural and I would love to see him race in a Cup car at one of these road courses. With good equipment, I think he can give most of these guys a run for their money.

Hamilton looks perfectly at home, doesn't he? What I love about Lewis Hamilton (I am a big fan) is that he enjoys the thrill of driving so much. He pushes hard, he is aggressive, he is never afraid to go for an overtake either. He has a mix of Senna and Schumacher in his style in that regard if you ask me - just won't settle for second best. And now we know that if F1 ever dries up for him - he isn't too bad in a NASCAR race seat either :)
This was a brilliant swap to put Lewis Hamilton in a Stock Car and Smoke in a Formula one car, I wish more of these swaps took place, for example I'd love to see an F1 driver in a Sprint Car or a Midget, but my absolute dream swap would be an F1 driver in a Brisca Formula One Stock Car (for those that don't know what a Brisca F1 car is type it in to youtube and enjoy)
Yup, straight up basics... Different race car styles, different racing styles, different cultures. Now if we could all just get along and enjoy speed and racing. :)
going from an F1 to NASCAR is like going from an expensive restaurant to home cooking. although the restaurant does everything it an to make your meal as good as possible, sometimes the simplicity of something you've made yourself is better. basically, f1 has a lot of technology involved to take a lot of the skill required away from the driver where NASCAR is pretty much an engine with some wheels.
6:17. Rofl! All drivers in Britain have to learn to drive a manual (stick shift) car. It's not surprising Lewis (of all people!) knows how to use it all.
Dethmeister it makes little difference as the clutch and heel/toe is the trickiest part of a manual gearbox. Moving the gear stick is child's play and left or right side makes little difference. I drive using stick with my left hand but sim race using stick with my right.
I think it's quite fun that they are so astonished Lewis can sit on the LEFT and drive STICK. It's not as if he can't drive a regular car just because he's a F1 driver professionally.
Imagine if NASCAR used real cars. I mean it would be neat to see a professional racing series with real cars that would be similar to cars that consumers could relate too.
I went to the UK after driving nothing but 13 speed dump trucks for a long time in the US. It took me all of 5 minutes until I preferred shifting with my left hand. Honestly, it isn't much of a change. Getting used to driving a compact car after only driving triaxles was the toughest part! Lol, no useful mirrors.
Anyway if Tony wasn't 41 then he would be able to get training to run in F1 and considering his extensive open wheel experience he could be a contender given time. Lewis, I'd love to see him race in NASCAR once his F1 career is over, maybe we'd actually get someone who can adapt to the change this time around.
Dont know if this was done before or after Tony did that special video where he took one of his NASCAR cars and turned it into a 2 person Taxi cab and he actually gave people rides in it down in Las Vegas, but either way, is this the car they Tony drove down in Las Vegas as a Taxi cab, only asking that because I see that this one actually has a windshield Wiper on it and I know regular NASCAR cars usually dont have them installed on them and the one he drow around Vegas as the taxi also had a windshield wiper on it so taking a guess that this has to be the car, am I correct here??????
It would need some work but Zandvoort and Watkins Glen left the f1 around the same time and if Zandvoort can be improve FIA grade 1 then so could Watkins Glen
NASCAR ran one nationwide race in the rain in 2008 at montreal, i don't count one race because they were pressed for time and only had hours worth of daylight left as "regular events"
also, i was talking about road courses, not ovals, ovals is pretty obvious, but, there has been multiple rain delays on road courses since then, it's getting pretty f'ing stupid. watkins glen more so then sonoma, mainly due to the lake-effect weather from the great lakes
And now we will cut to a break.........just as Ham lights up the rears on the exit of every corner on his last lap having fun, yup, perfect place to cut away for a break - not.
you'd be suprised how dedicated some NASCAR fans are, they will show up with those water-proof covered or umbrellas also, not seeing the track from one spot, is all over, hence why at most road races you see a lot of those portable big video screens
It would be dumb to race f1 cars on ovals. I think the disconnect for non-nascar fans is not knowing the difficulty of finding grip in a stock car. Racing games have done a great job of giving people a better insight to the skill involved.
I was there that day and when Lewis went out the track was still damp. The car Lewis driving is on rain tires and has a windshield wiper. The last time that was done at WGI Dale Earnhardt was behind the wheel. Yes I can see Lewis going to NASCAR at the end of his F1 career, he's a sponsor and promotions dream.
An amazing driver in an utterly rubbish F1 car isn't going to win. But that doesn't mean the best car on the grid is easy to drive. It's maybe more stable in braking, more predictable, has better aero grip for cornering, better mechanical grip in traction zones... but it just means the bar is raised higher in terms of the maximum that can be dragged out of the car. They don't cruise around lazily because their car is so well developed and set up. They push harder to find the new limits.
Tell that to Juan Paublo Montoya, Marcos Ambrose, Danica Patrick, and other people who have come from mostly road series to NASCAR. They don't do so well. There's nothing 'easy' about it. The car's notoriously difficult to drive and keep under control, you have the side turbulence from cars just inches away from you-where one wrong move can cause a massive wreck, all the while you're frying in 130+ degree temps (NASCAR drivers on average sweat away 7 pounds of body weight during a SINGLE race.)
Aaron L, Juan Pablo Montoya? Scott Speed? Didn’t think so… But I see where you’re coming from. I say “Stewart with his aggressive driving style (he’s actually a mean driver) and with what he did to Kyle Busch in 2009 in the Coke Zero Daytona night race when he spun him into the wall. You do that in F1? Grid/time penalty. You do it at the last lap to win from second, disqualified (and probably terminal damage). Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, and Jeff Gordon would be the same. Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr on the other hand, not at all. They would actually be clean (because they are clean in NASCAR)
F1 drivers not used to stick shift... hmm, maybe not the F1 drivers from US but from EU where most cars actually have a stick shift... yep they are used to it... but then again Lewis is a young guy and maybe he's first car was supercar with paddle shift... who knows... Really fun to see though! I tried a Formula 1600 on a flat track (which I have never been to) and missed my apex'es a lot... but on the straight... full on :-) until I learned the track...
Just ignore the fact Schumacer was the only to take the fight to McLaren in the '98 and '99 season when McLaren were easily the quickest team on the grid. Had he not ran into the back of Coulthard at Spa he probably would of took the '98 title. In fact, just ignore the fact Ferrari would of been nothing from the mid 90's onwards if it wasn't for Schumacher.
After an F1 car this thing would be like driving a boat in slow motion for Hamilton. Around an oval at race speeds with other cars he'd have his work cut out but in this scenario he'd be as fast as anybody else in the thing.
technology doesn't make things easier, it just makes car faster... what I mean by that is the easier the car is to handle, the further you'll push it, so whatever how easy the car is made by technology it will be eventually pushed off limits by the drivers to have the edge on opposition... for example traction control, back in the days when there wasn't any drivers would be cautious when putting their feet back on the throttle, now with a good traction control, they floor so soon it's could spin
No actually it's not because driving a stock car is actually very fun and Juan Pablo Montoya said himself that NASCAR is the harder of the two disiplines. Before you say it, no it's not because of the cars because if it was Montoya would be running just as bad on road courses as he does on ovals. To prove this point, Montoya runs top 10 on road courses and mid-pack on ovals. It's harder because the cars are more difficult to keep under control.
you dont get my point... let's say an 80's F1 would take a turn at 100mph, the driver would try to push it to 105/110mph to have the edge, making it very hard to control and risky. Now let's take a modern F1 in the same turn, the wings, technologic devices, tires etc... will make it able to take the turn at 130mph, but the driver will still push it to its limits so he can take the turn at 135mph and take the edge, making it as hard to control as the 80's car was to the 80's driver...
You must have a huge contact list on your cell phone....where did you find the time to call 275 million people to verify their manual transmission prowess?
Ignore that fact that we (Americans) aside from that year have ever done anything in that event and Vettel and Schuey have kicked the World's ass the last several years...Also that year was while Schumacher was past his prime and not even racing in F1...
This. When was the last time they did it, 2008? I don't expect them to do it on an oval, but I swear they had a rain delay in a road race since then, and that sucks. :(
I wished Nascar would bring back more road courses. I'd love to see Lewis Hamilton completely sweep a Nascar series. i'm not saying that Nascar drivers aren't good, but since they took most of the road tracks away the skill needed to drive has diminished a lot. Obviously we can say that all the computers inside an F1 car make things easier, but try moving all those knobs, drive while not even able to see the ground, barely see who's next to you, and still fly around a track like a jet fighter. I love Nascar, but it's just boring nowadays. I watch mostly everything else except for Nascar.
That so american. It´s not about quantaty, it´s about quality. What US-Driver were really successful? Montoya? ^^ The Villeneuves speak/spoke english, but were/are canadian.
"Heel-Toe"-ing a racecar is a fuckload different than driving a manual Fiat around Swindon....Not that I would expect someone like Lewis to have any issue with a stick...

"OH HE HEARD HIM"
Hamilton has repeatedly said over the years that he prefers a manual stick shift over the electro-magical units in modern F1.

Kyle Thompson but im not sure he good at superspeedway.
Kyle Thompson Maybe as a road coarse ringer, but not on ovals, just look at what happened with Jaun Pablo Montoya.
Kyle Thompson, he’d be too good for NASCAR. Stewart, on the other hand, Maldonado
Giuliano di Staulo any Nascar drive would be Maldonado in F1 lol.
Aaron L, Juan Pablo Montoya? Scott Speed?
Didn’t think so…
But I see where you’re coming from. I say “Stewart with his aggressive driving style (he’s actually a mean driver) and with what he did to Kyle Busch in 2009 in the Coke Zero Daytona night race when he spun him into the wall. You do that in F1? Grid/time penalty. You do it at the last lap to win from second, disqualified (and probably terminal damage). Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, and Jeff Gordon would be the same. Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr on the other hand, not at all. They would actually be clean (because they are clean in NASCAR)
F1 drivers not used to stick shift... hmm, maybe not the F1 drivers from US but from EU where most cars actually have a stick shift... yep they are used to it... but then again Lewis is a young guy and maybe he's first car was supercar with paddle shift... who knows... Really fun to see though! I tried a Formula 1600 on a flat track (which I have never been to) and missed my apex'es a lot... but on the straight... full on :-) until I learned the track...
Hamilton prefers manual. That's why he got a manual for his Pagani
This is cool but I want to hear what he thinks ..
F1 today is boring.... the top of F1 was in 80's with Piquet, Mansell, Keke Rosberg,Prost,Senna,Lauda ... Berger,Alesi,Patrese...
Dixie Doctor Go watch it then
watch the 2021 gp hugary.
and most americans drive automatic, so, i don't get that either
i said "aren't manual gearboxes common in europe?"
They need to do a Niki Lauda and Richard Petty seat swap. Lauda drives Richard Petty's Dodge and Richard Petty drives Niki Laudas Ferrari.
Just ignore the fact Schumacer was the only to take the fight to McLaren in the '98 and '99 season when McLaren were easily the quickest team on the grid. Had he not ran into the back of Coulthard at Spa he probably would of took the '98 title. In fact, just ignore the fact Ferrari would of been nothing from the mid 90's onwards if it wasn't for Schumacher.
After an F1 car this thing would be like driving a boat in slow motion for Hamilton. Around an oval at race speeds with other cars he'd have his work cut out but in this scenario he'd be as fast as anybody else in the thing.
This is a fair point actually. Racing aside this would be a walk in the park for Hamilton just driving it and having fun.
technology doesn't make things easier, it just makes car faster... what I mean by that is the easier the car is to handle, the further you'll push it, so whatever how easy the car is made by technology it will be eventually pushed off limits by the drivers to have the edge on opposition... for example traction control, back in the days when there wasn't any drivers would be cautious when putting their feet back on the throttle, now with a good traction control, they floor so soon it's could spin
Props to Tony for doing this with Lewis. Lewis can outdrive Tony any day of the week as good as Tony is.
7:10 hammer down baby, yeah!!
I miss Speed Channel
No actually it's not because driving a stock car is actually very fun and Juan Pablo Montoya said himself that NASCAR is the harder of the two disiplines. Before you say it, no it's not because of the cars because if it was Montoya would be running just as bad on road courses as he does on ovals. To prove this point, Montoya runs top 10 on road courses and mid-pack on ovals. It's harder because the cars are more difficult to keep under control.
you dont get my point... let's say an 80's F1 would take a turn at 100mph, the driver would try to push it to 105/110mph to have the edge, making it very hard to control and risky. Now let's take a modern F1 in the same turn, the wings, technologic devices, tires etc... will make it able to take the turn at 130mph, but the driver will still push it to its limits so he can take the turn at 135mph and take the edge, making it as hard to control as the 80's car was to the 80's driver...
You must have a huge contact list on your cell phone....where did you find the time to call 275 million people to verify their manual transmission prowess?
Speed channel was fuckin incredible i miss it
Ignore that fact that we (Americans) aside from that year have ever done anything in that event and Vettel and Schuey have kicked the World's ass the last several years...Also that year was while Schumacher was past his prime and not even racing in F1...
This. When was the last time they did it, 2008? I don't expect them to do it on an oval, but I swear they had a rain delay in a road race since then, and that sucks. :(
Windscreen Whiper? Are you kiddin' me?!
I wished Nascar would bring back more road courses. I'd love to see Lewis Hamilton completely sweep a Nascar series.
i'm not saying that Nascar drivers aren't good, but since they took most of the road tracks away the skill needed to drive has diminished a lot. Obviously we can say that all the computers inside an F1 car make things easier, but try moving all those knobs, drive while not even able to see the ground, barely see who's next to you, and still fly around a track like a jet fighter. I love Nascar, but it's just boring nowadays. I watch mostly everything else except for Nascar.
there is 6 road courses in 2021 so yeah there is alot more road courses
@@GK-ex1gy Bring them to Europe and on classic tracks like Silverstone Monza Or Spa. ill be there.
The viewing angle in a stock car is a lot less than you think. 2022 is gonna be a great year for nascar
plus, it never rains in california
turn subtitles on and enjoy HHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That so american. It´s not about quantaty, it´s about quality. What US-Driver were really successful? Montoya? ^^ The Villeneuves speak/spoke english, but were/are canadian.
This is true, however he's driven all sorts of cars. For all we know he could be the stig..
Tyler Cooper Probably was one on camera in some episodes.
Yea probably, I was simply explaining to you why the commentators would say that.
LOL he started to drift it up the boot, showing them up 4 laps in...
"Heel-Toe"-ing a racecar is a fuckload different than driving a manual Fiat around Swindon....Not that I would expect someone like Lewis to have any issue with a stick...
How?
