I really like Laguna Seca, I think that will make for better racing. Same with the race in Austin compared to Watkins Glen..Hate admitting that, I enjoyed going to the Indy race at The Glen through out the years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 indy car is way slower than a F1. Acceleration and braking performance are far superior in F1. Indy car will be seconds slower maybe 5-8 JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 thats another reason F1 is faster better aero. Also a good reason why indy car is such good racing is thier aero package allows close racing. F1 not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 F1 is about money and building a machine to go as fast as possible for 200 miles or 2 hours what ever comes first. Competition is not part of the model. It did work at one time but now it takes too much money to win so what ever illusion of competition they did have is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
