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.

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.
