1. Formula 1 has faster cars.\n2. Formula 1 has bigger standards.\n3. Formula 1 is the sport of the rich and famous.\n4. Formula 1 teams spend more cash.\n5. Formula 1 is more popular.\n6. Formula 1 has fewer cars on the track.\n7. Formula 1 has variety of track styles and lengths.\n8. Formula 1 tires are more thick and wide.\n9. Formula 1 cars has more intricate machineries and mechanism.\n10. Formula 1 drivers sometimes came from Formula 2. (like former F2 champion Juan Pablo Montoya)

Both You can't hae one w/o the other. You can give a driver the best car, but if he can't drive it..it ain't gonna win. Also, you can have the best driver but if they screw up in the pits and dont' get them out, or screw the car..yeah, you ain't gonna win either. There are some tracks in which the driving is a bit easier and more depends on the pits, but like I said.. you always have to have both,.

this might help. There is a list of different kind of auto racing.

Two of the races are 500km.  They are the races at Phoenix International Raceway.   The races are the Subway Fresh 500 and the Checker Auto Parts 500.

The fuel used in Formula 1 is now very similar to the one we put in the tanks of our family cars. This was made possible by strict regulations on fuel imposed by the FIA.\nFor example, Ferrari uses fuel that is very similar to the one that people use to fill their cars from Shell gas stations. Williams has fuel probably similar to the one in the Petrobras network, and Renault probably uses similar fuel to Elf gas stations.

Definitely. No more oval stock car nonsense here, just pure motorsport; F1, the pinnacle of motor racing on Planet Earth. No more people to say that F1 cars can be driven by monkeys because of the TC system, no more people to call F1 boring...\n\nThe Americans don't understand traction control. It's not a method of creating traction, it's a method of maximising the traction that the driver has avaliable. And they don't seem to get that.\nToo bad there isn't a category for MotoGP. F1 is the best 4-wheeled motorsport, and MotoGP-the best two-wheeled one.\n\n\nbtw, I think the 248 in your nickname comes from the name of this year's Ferrari. Am I right?

A banked curve is the same in F1 as in any other motor sports. It's when the curve is tilted upwards (it has an incline), this to facilitate higher speed in the turn. All NASCAR (nextel cup, busch, etc.) use ovals with banked curves. In F1 it is not very common because they don't run on ovals. In F1 the scope is to balance the car in very different series of curves, chicanes, and straight-aways. However, there are a few F1 tracks which comprise some banked curves. Indianapolis (because they use a portion of the famous oval, including one banked curve), Monza, Italy, with its "Parabolica" curve (which in Italian it literally means "banked curve"), and the Shanghai Int'l Circuit in China has a semi-banked curve as well. The set up for downforce in banked curves (which are usually long curves with a wide radius) is totally different that the set up necessary for slow and narrow curves. This makes it tricky to have a well balanced set-up to be competitive in all parts of the track.

Motorsport races are run couterclockwise because they stole that format from horse racing, which runs counterclockwise. It is believed that horse racing is run counterclockwise because the British run races clockwise and there was conflict between the US and the British when the sport was started in the US.\n\nNow, motorsport races continue to run counterclockwise because cars are set up to run that way, and changing it would require changing the entire setup of the car. Even on courses where there are left and right handed turns (not just an oval), most cars are still setup for what would help them get through left-handed turns the best, and only a little attention is given to setup for the right-handed turns. At this point, its mostly tradition and too much would have to change.

No..... 'cos motor racing is inherently dangerous no matter what track you race on.... a few of the drivers were concerned about this weekends' British Grand Prix because one or two of the corner (such as Copse) can be taken flat-out thanks to the new engine rules.......... but Villeneuve, when I ready about it on ITV-F1.com said about it " “Maybe they should stop driving F1,” he told reporters on Thursday.\n\n“We just raced in Monaco, no one complained and it was great.\n\n“There is a small amount of risk but it is tiny. In the past there used to be 100 corners in a season with that amount of risk, and 50 with more risk than that – and now there’s just three during the whole season.\n\n“It’s no big deal, just lift – you don’t have to go flat.” "

Monaco is the greatest and hardest track in formula 1. You have to be skilled to win it, I don't think Alonso has what it takes to win it. I also don't think Schumacher will win it, I have a gut feeling about this. I think it will be a surprise, maybe Honda will win the first grand prix, with Barrichello (not Button, as most people would think), or Massa, it's about time for him to beat Schumacher, and I think this is the race. Brazilians are great in Monaco. Remember Senna? I think it will be a very interesting race. You never know what will happen in the streets of Monte Carlo. Remember the 1996 grand prix, when only 3 cars finished the race? I think more than 3 cars will finish the race but not more than 11 or 12. This is a race that will have people talking about it for months to come.

Both cars are fast, and both cars are pretty awesome.\n\nSpeed has nothing to do with it.... It's all the driver.\n\nYou can line both of them up, and if you have drivers that don't know their heads from their a** it's not going to be a very good test.

The cars might look alike but there is a huge difference. On speed, Indy cars are faster but this is more due to the type of track that they race on. You can go flat out better on an oval track than a track with turns and chicanes. And especially now that F1 uses V8s instead of the V10s. On an oval track you make very few gear changes while on a specially designed F1 track as more as 3,000 gear changes. On the design, F1 cars a built with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. And each car has a specific aero specification for each circuit. The FIA have limited development on very few areas of the car. So that's were geniuses like Adrian Newey and Rory Byrne work their magic. On tracks like Monaco cars use more downforce. In F1, teams have to construct their own chassis while in IRL they are allowed to buy it. F1 is also the riches with Team Mclaren-Mercedes being the highest spender for 2005. An F1, team employs about 500 or more people for engine development, aero and etc. And in terms of popularity, F1 is reportedly the second most watched sporting event next to the World Cup.

check out Mario Andretti, he has won at all levels and types of racing from F1 it Nascar  :)

Ya senna was a better driver. But as both the drivers belong to different eras nothing can be said about them. Both of them are/were able to adjust to the conditions of the race track. They can even come close to championship even if they r given Midland Cars.

here's me pointing you in the right direction:\n\nhttp://www.racingadventure.com/?gclid=CJTG-s3Gu4gCFSWIYAod1Rav0A

Start off racing karts, go to a driving school (the usually get you going in a Formula Ford or Formula 2000 car), enter a club racing series (Formula Ford or Formula 2000), move up the ladder to Formula Atlantic (in North America) or Formula Three, then to the GP2 series. If you have driving talent, someone will have noticed you and if you really have talent an F1 team will offer you a job as a test driver and you'll qualify for a super license needed to compete in F1.\nYou'll need a lot of money or generous sponsors if you have any hope of becoming an F1 driver.

There is an auto racing category under Cars and Transportaion.
