Ya miss the point here. It is the speed. They go around and around and
around yes but they do it at 190 mph for four hours a couple centimeters
from each other(You may have noticed some bumpdrafting too). It is a
game of endurance and nerve. To compare it to other forms of racing is
like apples and oranges. If you want pure technology you watch F1. If
you want some truly amazing driving you watch Rally. If you want the
American experience you watch CART or Winston Cup.
 There is that other thing. What's it called.. IRL? Some guy named
Tony's idea.
