If CART couldn't handle TMS, there's no way in hell that F1 could handle Talladega.

Admittedly, this is F1 Rejects! :D

I'd love to max out some go-karts on the Talladega banking.

I know a guy who's raced a 125cc kart around the Daytona roval. He told me you get up over 100mph, but eventually hit an aerodynamic wall, and are forced to run single file around the track until you reach the infield, which is your only opportunity to improve your position. Frustrating, apparently.

if they run this new york race anywhere it should either be the central park circuit designed back in 2010 or the meadowlands.
I believe in German BARawnda-Tyrrell-Simca(and it's working)

the only difference between the roman gladiators and racing drivers is that racing drivers sit inside the lion that is trying to kill them.

Just so long as a driver isn't murdered in the process (I watched CSI:NY recently and in series 6 an episode is based around a fictional form of indycar racing there)

I know of the episode in question. It's absolutely ridiculous. The use Robert Kubica's infamous Montreal wipeout as an example of a crash at the "Monaco 400".

Sounds kind of like F1, really. :P

But I'd love to see F1 at the Milwaukee Mile or some other track where working TRAFFIC determines the race. I hate all this crap about tracks being too short. As long as the track can physically fit 26 F1 cars on the racing surface, it's fine.
Check out the TM Master Cup Series on Youtube...

I suspect most of it was adjusted to fit the demands of the story.

And 2-driver showdowns before a race are completely acceptable.

I remember asking myself repeatedly what the hell I was watching.

You were watching Danica Patrick act better than Gary Sinise. Who, in turn, was acting better than the other guy. According to Wikipedia, his name is Eddie Cahill. Who was better than Jennifer Aniston in 'Friends'. It's like six Degrees of Kevin Bacon ... I wonder how far I can take this?

But still, full credit for the use of Them Crooked Vultures at the start of the clip. Danica, motorsport, crime and Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul bathplugging Jones ... what the hell went wrong? Aside from the script that was apparently written by stringing buzzwords together. And that they're apparently driving Formula 3 cars.
