wagner Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 . But none of that is going to happen, because it puts asses in the seats, just like the Colosseum. I've actually had a NASCAR provisional Liscense a couple of times... any idea what I had to do/prove to get one?

SpaceGhost Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 ing. And for all the "Open Wheel Drivers come to Nascar ..." I hear, when was the last time a Nascar driver moved over to F1 ? Um Smoke can drive anything competitively with wheels and has in the past. There is at least 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Um Smoke can drive anything competitively with wheels and has in the past. There is at least 1. Ummm... no. I'm not saying Stewart isn't a good driver, he's one of the few in NASCAR with any actual talent.... but no, he would not be competitive in f 1. It's doubfull he' make it through a practice session without crashing. You can't even fathom how different the cars are, and how much faster they are. Jeff Gordon found out, and happens to be one of the other few talented NASCAR drivers... and he looped the car because he wasn't driving fast enough. F1 car performance, in race trim: -Mid-high 8 second quarter mile -900hp, 1300lb -So light that they can't grip the track without downforce, meaning you fly off the track if you're going too slow. People make fun of the automation of the cars, and they're ignorant morons who have no idea how complicated it actually is: This is all shit that the driver has to use while driving the fastest racecar on plant earth in wheel-to-wheel competiton. Competitive F1 drivers prepare their entire carreers to drive those cars, and even the best have rough rookie years. A spot on a competitive F1 team is harder to get than a spot on the space shuttle. Backin the day, there were a couple of 2-seater cars develpoed, to give people rides. These were snow, had worse handling, and more drag... and when driven at 100%, the passengers would not stop screaming. So no, tony Stewart would not be competitive in F1, not without half a decade of practice, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Any driver needs time to figure out a different platform, But as you said give Tony 5 years of experience in F1 and I bet he would be competitive. So we will agree to disagree. I stand by Tony and him being able to drive anything, it's what that guy lives for. By the way, Are you sure that wasn't Cole Trickle out there in the 99? You positive that was Edwards?
