Grand Prix of Monaco & Indy 500 - A Day Of Racing
Dear Fellow Racing Fans
Tomorrow morning before the Indy 500 is the Grand Prix of Monaco. If you only watch one Formula 1 or Indy Car race this year this is the one to watch. I've been fortunate enough to shoot this race 3 times. I drew the short straw so this year I'm at Indy. The city of Monte Carlo is beautiful beyond belief and the street race course is spectacular. The sounds in the tunnel are beyond description. And the city is filled with gorgeous women. It comes on NBC Sports Network at 0930 CST. Check it out before the Indy race. If you love racing you'll love this. http://www.grand-prix-monaco.com/for...rix/track.html Last edited by houstonwhodat; 05-25-2013 at 04:37 PM.. |

I will go to Monaco the day they're pulling 240mph in front of me. While passing each other. |

TK is a fan favorite but I bet even Tony would like to have won that race going flat out. Oh well that's the way it goes I guess. A win is a win is a win I guess but I would rather win it hauling ass then by a default. But that's just me. |

F1 cars can easily do 240 mph. But, since they do more than make left turns, they need just a tad more downforce.

F1 cars are obviously superior but I'm not sure they can got those speeds and certainly not "easily". The designs and aero packages are significantly different and even if they weren't the drivers do need oval experience in most cases (Montoya and Villeneuve notwithstanding). On a road course F1 cars would shred Indycars though of course as would those drivers.

my wife loves watching F1. which surprised me.
we ended up watching 90% of the race. didn't make the ending, but sounds like we didn't miss very much.

And they routinely hit 220 mph at Monza, and pull 3 lateral Gs at the Parabolica. As you said, there really isn't much of a comparison between Indy cars and F1.

I'm guessing they could probably win Indy if they designed an oval setup for those cars. Too bad they won't, I don't like watching road races. No passing

They kind of did when F1 raced at Indy.

It's a shame that CART died and Indy lived. Would have liked to see what the CART guys would have come up with.

Well, yeah, they did. About a quarter of it.
