Is Formula One or NASCAR more popular?
Formula 1 seems to be the more popular sport across the world. With much higher attendance and TV viewership, it is clear that the number of Formula 1 fans heavily outweigh the number of NASCAR fans, at least globally. When we look at the United States specifically though, NASCAR is the more popular sport.
Who makes more money Nascar or F1?
The short answer is no. Formula 1 drivers, particularly those at the top end, pull in a lot more cash than even the top end NASCAR drivers. Three F1 drivers cracked Forbes’ top 60 highest paid athletes in the world in 2020, but no NASCAR driver made an appearance on the list.
Is Nascar more difficult than F1?
F1 cars are much faster, much harder to drive, much more sensitive, and way more complicated than the muscle cars and trucks in NASCAR. However, NASCAR has its own challenges, racing is much harsher and crashes are more common, and it takes a lot of effort just to avoid crashing.
What is the difference between Formula 1 and NASCAR racing?
Formula 1 cars can make it through a race without refueling in part because the races are so much shorter than NASCAR races. NASCAR involves over 330 laps around their track, while Formula 1 is typically only about 185 miles. In time, that means NASCAR can run about four hours, and Formula 1 lasts one and a half to two.
What is the difference between NASCAR and Formula 1 pit stops?
NASCAR races are much longer, so they need to stop at least a few times to refuel and re-tire. Formula 1 rules state that a car must use at least two of the three available types of tires, which necessitates at least one pit stop for that. Refueling, however, is not part of the Formula 1 pit stop equation.
Is NASCAR the best form of racing in America?
NASCAR is America at its best. Formula One is science at its most acceptable. The choice is yours, race fans.
Should NASCAR GO Global?
NASCAR would become even bigger if it went global. There are several rules and regulations that are different in F1 and NASCAR, apart from the visual differences. One of the differences is that drivers in F1 receive 25 points for winning the race, whereas NASCAR drivers receive 40 points for a win.
