Which itself is just steel and as aerodynamic as a brick. Plus the regulations restrict innovation so the teams spend days in a wind tunnel massaging 1/32 on a body panel.

The V8s they use are more technologically advanced that just about any other v8.


For you own sake, take that back.

They have a separate car for just about any track condition,,, but I guess those separates cars are really the same since they don't have any technology.


You mean the separate cars that have miniscule differences in ride height, fender shape, brake designs, and clunky aluminium plates between the carburetor and intake?

NASCAR uses what works for them. You don't need the same technology in NASCAR as in F1.


The talking point was that you said there is lots of technology in NASCAR, not whether the racing is enjoyable.

I'm sure there is plenty more somebody more knowledgable could add.

Sure they don't have the same technology as other types of motorsports (some have more, some have less), but they have A LOT of technology. Just because it's not the same as a F1 car or you just don't realize it's there,,, it's still there.


They have a lot of technology when compared to a bicycle. (surely they're more techy than a bicycle? )
