    Lappi has been amazing. The car is getting better and better. Very excited for the upcoming rallies. Racing in the US is such an emphasis on the driver--I love the WRC cars. Completely awesome....and in the hands of these brilliant drivers....it is just magic. Just had no idea what I was getting into, but man, this is so awesome!

    Ok, I understand, most people here are rally addicts, but why some of you feel the need to make jokes with other forms of motorsport. Every once in a while someone here will make a joke with NASCAR.
    I can ensure you that NASCAR is one of the most demanding an hardest form of motorsport, and as such it deserves more respect.

    Well, that was good one I like your sense of humor. Pure speed is only small part of the whole motorsport concept. Motorsport is also about hard braking, turning right or about slides in some kinds of motorsport. Building oval circuits with 2 or 4 left turns for better logistics and easier spectating is road to hell. It kills motorsport. You canīt support such approach not even in bad dream.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    I'm not a big Nascar fan but not sure you've actually watched it if you think it's easy. The cars are pretty much drifting the whole time at 200mph and side by side with other cars. I wouldn't call it one of the hardest forms of the sport (not compared to the endurance tests like LM24 or what rallying used to be) but it's definitely difficult and requires skill.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    On the other hand basically any activity if being held as a competition requires skills to be the best

    It's not only the skills. Mental strength is dominant in NASCAR. I know many will disagree, but while NASCAR drivers will do reasonably well i rally, most rally drivers will not be able to cope with NASCAR races.

    Not even the fastest American rally drivers do reasonably well outside of their domestic championships, and you expect NASCAR drivers to do so? Maybe the can do reasonably well in the domestic championship, considering the level of competition.

    You're high if you actually think that.

    I'm qute sure NASCAR drivers will do better in in their domestic championship. Problem is that rally doesn't inspire many in US.
    I remember NASCAR driver giving some hard time to Loeb and Co, during Race of the Champions.
