he hasn't been offered full rides, but offered tests and stuff with the possibility to drive... and he wasn't within half a second of montoya's, he was like within half a second of pole, so in other words he would not qualify to race... i actually thought that was very impressive, but champions are champions over 1/100th of a second, one whole half is an eternity in F1

 

Some interesting points.

 

Didn't Gordon used to be an Atlantic Cart driver or something?

 

haha, those are bad drivers aids. nobody like a backseat driver.

anyway, i really dislike nascar. ive been following f1 for about 8 years. montoya is an overrated, arrogant prick. :]

 

Agreed.

 

but don't get me wrong, all hate for nascar aside i respect anyone that is good enough to get a drive in the series, its not the drivers i dislike, just the sport itself, lots of the drivers kicked ass in the top level go kart racing, indy/cart, or have had stints in F1

but same goes for montoya, even if he is arrogant or over rated, it must be nice to be good enough to get to the level where you are over rated and get paid millions and worshipped like a god across the whole world(except america)

 

wrc > all

 

yea good point WRC is some impressive driving as well, the variables involved in that make F1 look pretty 2D, all the motions of F1 but up/down as well as rain, gravel, sand, dirt, snow and tarmac... except the one thing that i think is less interesting is its time trials racing, no actual passing, nothing more exciting than two guys swapping the lead on the final lap

 

That is where GT comes into play. Every motorsport has it's ups and downs. If you like that kind of action GT is the place to be. It's always Corvette versus various Ferraris. The 911s and Vipers always lose

 

yea i really like GT racing as well actually, don't follow the points standings or know all the drivers by name but any time its on i make a point of watching it
