Racing in the rain?
Do they really race in the rain? It seemed a little crazy to me, like they all had a death wish.
shareIn America they don't race when it's raining (Champ Car/Nascar), but in Europe they do (F1). They have another really weird thing in Europe, they namely have both left and right corners on their tracks! Just kidding, I just think F1 is the real deal and that all American "racing" is basically crap.
shareLol Nascar. If someone could explain to me why people would go and see that?
That sands not gonna rake itself Hiroshi.
I think that Champ Car used to race in the rain, not sure if they do now.
I know Grand Am does and I'm pretty sure that the American Lemans Series does too.
They do on road courses, I remember watching Surfers Paradise years ago when it was torrential rain and most of the race was under safety car. I'm pretty sure they don't race banked courses in the rain though.
Why's Potter so angry? Is that why he's in the Mulisha, cause he's so angry all the time.
because WE europians have something that you americans calls BALLS. :D
shareohhh Puhlease get off of your high horse. Ever heard of Grand Am or American LeMans Series. FIA has destroyed all of the great European racing series. If you really want to watch some great racing, check out the V8 Supercar series out of Australia or even the Porsche Supercup Series out of Germany. S!

You're wrong.
American Road Racing (any form) is raced on the wet. Ovals are the only form of racing that isn't raced in the wet. There is just so much oval racing in the states that it seems like its always in the dry.
Champcar (god I miss it so much) raced in the rain, as does the IRL when it's wet (St. Pete last year ...) So does ALMS and Grand Am. And YES, even NASCAR races in the wet IF they are on a road course. They have developed a wet racing tire, and even wipers for the Cup cars for NASCAR in case the two road races they have each year wind up in the rain. But considering both road races in NASCAR are basically in the desert, there is pretty much zero chance of that ever happeneing. Still, they do have a contingency.
And saddly, F1 is becoming less and less of a European series. With France and possibly Germany off the list, as well as a few other European standards, F1 is starting to look less and less like the series we all used to love.
