spyderpancake Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Re: New Dodge Bodies [ QUOTE ] Do a search on google for 2005 Dodge Charger and take a look at what Dodge has put out - then look at the cross-bred Dodge/Chevy/Ford that NASCAR is calling the Charger. Might as well change the name from NASCAR to IROC - all the same templates, all the same looks.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree to an extent, but there is a reason everybody and their brother isn't driving a Cup car. I don't believe you could put an average driver in one of the top Cup rides and get the same results. JMO [/ QUOTE ] You'd be surprised. Put a lot of cup drivers on a road course where driving skill is most of the ballgame and they usually don't do so well. F1 is where you see driving skill at its finest.

spyderpancake Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: New Dodge Bodies A lot of cup drivers have no prior experience with road racing. So naturally the F1 guys are better at it, that is what they do! but cup drivers mostly drive ovals, and they know how to do it WELL! I think some of the best drivers are in World of Outlaws sprint cars. it takes some kind of car control to hold on to one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Obviously my mistake! I didn't know this thread was about Formula 1! I thought it was about Nascar! I believe some American Nascar drivers just did rather well for themselves over in Europe against open wheel drivers. I would be interested to see how some F1 guys would do in a 3400 lb. Cup car at Watkins Glen Or Infineon. I think you would be surprised! One last thought, F1 cars are the most sophisticated race cars in the world. The driver is hardly "most of the ballgame" IMHO.
