Why? Must be a fan of of the Netflix show because the racing absolutely sucks.
Qualifying is amazing - they are actually on circuits that have multiple turns and each turn has the thinnest of margins. There is racing up and down the grid for points, each place means something. The engineering and teamwork needed to be competitive is second to none.
The fact that they race across the globe and transport their team and cars across time zones every week or two is a logistical marvel.
True the DTS series got me into it but the racing makes the show irrelevant. It’s an exciting sport where the battles in the midfield are just as exciting as the battles at the front.
A couple of YouTube searches:
Max Verstappen Qualifying lap Monaco 2023
Final lap Abu Dhabi 2021
Intense stuff and shows the skill to put it on the limit.
In an earlier post I said F1 was better. I can’t fully say that as I don’t have knowledge of NASCAR and am ignorant to the nuances of the sport. To each his own.
