[V8] Re: Fw: SPOILER: F-1 results. Complaints, anyone?

[Michael Riebs / Audi V8]

Speaking of NASCAR, I forced myself to sit and watch not only a couple of
NASCAR races, but also the CART and IRL series, thinking maybe I've missed
something exciting.

Can someone explain to me please, how there can possibly be an enormous
amount of skill involved in simply keeping your foot in it all day, and
going around in a circle? (OK, "oval"!). I mean, if the guys racing are 40+,
and overweight, are they really "athletes"? Or just a bunch of guys that
can't keep up with the *really* fast cars...

Now, the CART and IRL, I can see perhaps a little bit more skill in,
especially when they actually take these cars to places like Long Beach, and
do the road courses. Besides, a few of those guys have successfully made the
jump to F-1 (Zinardi, Villeneuve, Montoya, Andretti, etc.), and a few have
gone the other way too (Takagi, Zinardi, Andretti, et.al.), but it seems
that the guys moving from F-1 to IRL are the ones that couldn't quite make
it in F-1. Maybe with the exception of Andretti.

Am I completely off my rockers here?
