world rallye racing is t dangerous to have multiple car courses. look at how many cars roll and flip and break **** during the course of a single stage, of 15 - 20 total stages.....look at marcus grunholm, last year's champ....he rolled 2x last year on ONE ciruit....maybe the most dangerous of the racing, but a close second in the most skilled racing has to go to the world super bike racers......consistent triple digit speed on 2 wheels......too many turns to list, lefties, righties, embanked u-turns....you name it....

each type of racing requires its own set of skills. I dont think there is any way of really showing one is more skilled then the other. Normally drivers like to do what they do best, so its unfair to put a nascar driver in a rallye car and expect him to kick ***. . .

The Michelin Race of Champions is a pretty good rating of how good a driver is a pretty neat event that is a decent test of overall skill. Team USA won, pretty wierd to see Jeff Gordon behind the wheel of a rally car. The full article is better in the magazine.

The best race drivers turn right. And left. And do U turns. In the snow. And mud. And rocks. At night. At triple digit speeds. Period.






They most likely can ALL outdrive me... I don't argue that NASCAR drivers are good... But they crack me up on the road course...

If the rally guys would actaully race each other and not time,and they didnt have someone in the other seat telling them every turn,and bump i might agree
Next time you get pissed at your girl for telling you to turn when you're 20 feet from the cross street, remember you said that. They're going triple digit speeds on shitty roads and they are told what way to turn ~100 yards in advance...if you think that's easy, then give it a shot. I guess it would be so much harder to turn the same way every time.

Im not going say they are the best or not. But, NASCAR is very exciting

to watch. Especially in person at a track like Talladega!

And yes Dale Jr is da man!!

I have a very hard time distinguishing NASCAR from "Professional" wrestling
