Lap 638263!

Am I the only one who thinks racing is boring? Hey just drive for like 5 hours straight. The only exciting parts are the crashes but I know some are very tragic. I just think racing is boring and that's all.

Discuss.

Re: Lap 638263!

Yeah, its pretty boring and dangerous.

No offense to anyone that finds it interesting or likes it.

Re: Lap 638263!

They can get boring when nothing happens, but the crashes are interesting.

NASCAR should stop requiring the cars to have restrictor plates....  sad

Yeah, I've been thinking this.

It's my arguement for making Mater the main character in Cars 2! xD All lightning does is go around in circles.

Nascar is a great thrill if your the person inside the car. Otherwise it's just plain boring.

Re: Lap 638263!

I'm not a big fan of NASCAR though because it is pretty boring to watch. But I love Rallying, Drifting, Track Day events, NHRA, or anything where they arent just racing on a oval track for hours.

Re: Lap 638263!

drag/street races are cool, as they often have beastly cars and drive through cities. Nascar/Indy races are boring because they all use the same car and just drive in circles.

@jfmlove:that's like saying that all girls like magical pink ponies covered in glitter.

Not really. Racing is boring for everyone really. Driving would be awesome though.

Discuss.

When you put that way, I agree with you. Same concept with football. All it is is a bunch of guys slamming into each other and fighting over a brown piece of plastic.

EXACTLY.

Watching the race is usually boring, but I guess being the one in the race can be exciting - even in videogames and the such  big_smile

I love football. It's fun to play. Watching isn't as fun, but still.
And footballs are leather not plastic.

I think that racing (Mariokart, etc.) is fun, but watching it is just meh.

Re: Lap 638263!

Our little sin is, of course, enjoying watching auto-accidents; however, it's not clearly visible that when a car crash happens, the mechanics and the team spend millions repairing what the crash has done to the expensive automobile (triple that if that's a Formula One crash), the driver himself suffers damage to his body almost every time - not talking about the more tragic crashes - and there are unimaginable loads of responsibility issues inside the racing leagues... Let's just put it this way - our brain enjoys eating hamburgers, but the rest of the body suffers; the same goes with car crashes.
