Has NASCAR lost its mind?
Why would you put a few inches of dirt over asphalt to run a dirt race in the middle of thunderstorm season? With no way for water to do anything but sit inside of the mud after a rain, no manner of packing is going to make it drivable for vehicles with windshields and a reliance on high speed airflow through unimpeded grills and radiators to prevent over heating.

At best, it was a very poorly calculated gamble for NASCAR based not only on putting dirt over asphalt for this type of car race, but also to schedule it during the rainiest part of the year. At worst, it is simple stupidity.
Between NASCAR, vehicle owners and ticket prices, one would think a purpose built dirt track, without the impermeable asphalt beneath the few inches of dirt could be built in a location central to the vast majority of NASCAR fans. One designed to help drain away rain water and allow for faster drying of the track medium.
The track could be designed to allow other minor league racing circuits to use. This would also allow better drivers coming through the other circuits to get used to longer tracks and faster speeds as well as attract an additional fan base in an area not currently served. Then buy a calendar.
One thing for certain, this current decision is just another fiasco in a long line of fiasco's. I'm truly surprised there even any fans left.

Could a Scottish F1 driver represent Scotland instead of the UK?
I'm fairly new to F1 and was wondering if a Scottish driver could choose to represent Scotland and have Flower of Scotland as their anthem on the podium?
Or are they considered British by default?

Why do so many people say that modern formula one is worse than the old formula one?
Favorite Answer:simply put it's not as competitive as it was 10-15 years ago, also the cars are being made easier and easier to drive, don't mis understand me they are not easy to drive, given the incredible accelaration rates, and constant physical geforce strains on the body....but come on ABS ERS DRS TCS, pretty sure Ascari Hawthorn Moss Fangio Stewart, never had all these creature comforts....For instance this Hamilton argument, it's an obvious fact he has won every single one of his world titiles whilst driving for the obvious best team, no ifs or butts about it, to me that's not that impressive..

Have you ever heard of a race faster than Formula 1?
Favorite Answer:Because of the design of circuits , F1 cars are designed with acceleration and cornering speed above outright top speed.
Indie cars racing in mainly oval circuits have higher top speeds but would be hopeless on any F1 circuit.
Speeds at Le Mans are also way above F1 because the track is mainly long straights.

Why don't tractors have seat belts?
You'd think they would be more necessary than even on cars because of how dangerous the machinery can be and how bumpy and rough farmlands and swamplands can be where tractors are used
