Tony Stewart Drives Lewis Hamiltons F1 car (FULL)

[@dcdude345]

It's funny how people are all bent outta shape because he's driving slow. 1. It's a publicity run 2. It's kinda wet 3. Watkins Glen has almost no runoff so if you go off you're probably gonna hit something

[@barath4545]

+dcdude345 Yup. And it's also a $20M+ car and not his. Pretty sure they also detuned it a bit cause it's wet and it's a demo. Still damn cool though. Hell, imagine just one race, just for demo/kicks, where Nascars went from 358s down to 186 ci (3L) V10 F1 engines based on 2003-2005 designs. Imagine the sound inferno, holy hell. Don't even care if they got slower because of way less torque and probably 100-150 less hp as well. That sound was divine at Hockenheim in 2004.

Both drivers posted a faster lap time in eachother's cars at the end of the day and running on your own is substantially different than running with a bunch of other guys around you. Anyone can get in either car and after they get the feel for it can post fast laps left and right. But when you put them on the field with other competiters then the real challenge kicks in. NASCAR is about navigating through heavy traffic and car control. F1 is about driver endurance and in certain cases reflexes.

[@SpartanW98]

good to see nascar and f1 drivers getting along, I think the rivalry between the two is really just the fans talking shit. There is nothing like a nice day at the track hearing those beautiful V8's, and theres nothing like sitting down on a weekend and watching F1 (: I love both!!!

i think he's doing this in the wet and he is actually also an indycar champion

[@K9RacingAndStuff]

Oh look, another NASCAR vs F1 fanwar. Both sides are being moronic. May I first say that although both series lack TCS/ASR, it's worse in terms of tire wear on the stockcar due to the higher torque that comes from the higher displacement and lower revs (around 685lb-ft for the stockcar compared to around 250 lb-ft of the F1 car of that era.), which would make wheelspin that much more of a problem (not to say that it isn't in F1. (I fucking swear, if anybody dare uses how high an engine can rev as an argument, I'm going to facepalm hard.) Both series also lack ABS. Still, it's fundamentally harder for the stock car to stop even before different aero forces and the tires are put into play simply because of the higher weight of the stock car. However, the difference in total grip (between mechanical and aero) between speeds for the stock car and the open-wheeler is much more drastic for the latter, mainly because of how very reliant the Formula 1 car is on aerodynamic grip in comparison to the stock car, which is also the main cause for the F1's wheelspin. Technology is really a moot point (admit it F1 fans, you're bitching about the current V6s). Yes, the idea of an OHV crossplane V8 dates back to decades, but even then nowadays in the stock car, this concept is hyperdeveloped (anybody who knows a thing about the two knows that 8700 RPM is a range outside of the norm for both top-end and bottom-end concepts even in racing). Revs are just a number for show anyways, and I could go on about the disadvantages for revving higher. Now the drivers, I'd say they're roughly equal. Put them in equal machinery that isn't a open-wheeler or a NASCAR-esque stock car, like a Daytona Prototype or a GT3 car and see how they fare. To say that one is better than the other when comparing them in machinery that one of the two would be used to is biased.

watkins glens is such a beautiful track. we should put in F1 calender!

[@AlonsoRules]

I actually agree. It would be an amazing track to drive by yourself, but to actually race on it would be a real pain. Not a lot of heavy braking zones so nowhere to really outbrake. And too many high speed corners makes following another car difficult.

[@retromario96]

Here's the thing, on ovals the nature of taking the turns is actually more precise because the turns are longer, in a hairpin turn if you miss the apex by a few feet odds are you'll only hold up the guy behind you. On an oval if you miss the apex (Martinsville is the exception to this rule) then another guy will pass you because that's how passing is done on ovals, from the center off under acceleration.

[@spionsilver9626]

[@downnice95]

Sean Neal On iracing offical f1 series they race this track and it is indeed better than most f1 races in real life today

[@clemhfandango.]

Agree. It is an awesome and proper track for F1, but the only problem is that the circuit is in the middle of nowhere in upstate western NY hence it offers very limited entertainment outside the circuit and doesn't have very modern accommodation facilities to today's F1 fans.

[@downnice95]

They could always update the paddock and add more seating. Also it is only a couple of hours outside of Buffalo. Suzuka is over 4 hours away from Tokyo and 2 hours away from Osaka. Really wish F1 will return here someday

[@clemhfandango.]

Driving 2 1/2 hours each way from the Glen to Buffalo and vice versa is not something most people want to do on a 3-day event like Formula 1. Buffalo is not even an interesting city to be honest (they have the Niagara falls at least). Japan has a high density population, especially the region around Suzuka, so fans come from everywhere not just Tokyo or Osaka. Plus, Japan has a very extensive, affordable, fast and highly efficient rail network, so most people arrive and leave by train and buses and there are plenty of entertainment in and around the circuit as well as great hotels close by. The Glens is in the same situation that made Magny-cours circuit a commercial failure to host F1.

[@crazydrummer181]

F1 raced at this track for around 20 years up until the 80's. But I agree it would be cool to see it return. Unfortunately, this track is probably considered too unsafe.

[@TheGuitarman1968]

How soon we forget folks........ Tony Stewart raced BOTH Sprint Cars AND Indy Cars (very similar to F1 Cars) before he was ever involved in NASCAR racing. In fact, in 1999 Tony Stewart raced in BOTH the Indianapolis 500 AND the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, just hours apart. Five drivers have attempted to compete in both races in the same day; four drivers have started both races, but Tony Stewart remains the only driver to ever finish both races to this day.

I just have to say that with the talent of Stewart, Gordon, and Johnson, I would love to see them compete in F1. It's too bad that the US F1 team fell through. There is a great pool of talent in the US, but a majority of drivers here go into stock car racing instead of open wheel racing.

[@-BuddyGuy]

If you think he's pussing out you should look at Schumacher on the first day testing his new F1 car for the year. He starts off slow for at least 2 laps. This guy is doing well by not spinning, and if you have seen journalists and other such types driving F1 cars you'll know he's clearly doing infinitely better than the average driver (you). Despite what your imagination says, in wet conditions driving F1 for the first time you would bin it on the first corner.

@@bkeen7013 You'll have to do better than that. No NASCAR driver has ever showed interest in F1. Very few Americans ever have. There's F1, and then there's American motorsports. American drivers make just as much money, most of the time more, than F1 drivers. Why uproot your life, move overseas and take the risk? Only Hamilton made more money than Jr., Gordon, and Johnson in recent years. In the 90's, only Schumacher made more than Earnhardt Sr. There's no incentive. You're also wrong about Gordon. Jeff was to run two years in CART for Team Green then make the leap straight to F1. CART was a feeder series to F1 bypassing the European series'. Ever heard of Montoya and Jaques Villeneuve? Even American open wheel drivers choose to stay in the U.S. rather than travel overseas. A.J. Foyt said he wasn't the type to wear a three piece suit for breakfast and then change into a drivers uniform to race shortly thereafter. Al Unser Jr. never put any serious thought into it, even though there was interested F1 parties. Jimmy Vasser was another. Jackie Stewart saw Gordon's ability at a young age, but he couldn't compete with the money offered from Ford. Speaking of Stewart, go watch the early years of the IROC series where Pearson and Allison are racing door to door, and often beating F1 drivers on road courses in Porsche race cars. Check out Carl Edwards embarrass Schumacher and TV hosts when he beat him on an indoor road course. Let's travel back in time when current F1 drivers would make failed attempts to qualify, and race in NASCAR in the 60's and 70's. How about NASCAR drivers winning the 12hrs of Sebring and the 24hrs of Daytona with F1 drivers in the field on multiple occasions and in multiple series'. Here's the funniest issue, F1 fans disagree with F1 drivers on NASCAR drivers skills. It's hilarious. Juan and Kimi have put it brilliantly! I'm a fan of both. There's two types of drivers. One who excels in one discipline, and one who excels in all disciplines. Anyone who claims that a NASCAR driver couldn't succeed in F1, doesn't have the data or F1 drivers opinions on their side.

Costs more than that develop, especially teams that develop both the engine & car, like Renault (currently Lotus) still spends €120M/y on just engine dev, and according to the teams that price is going to triple with the Turbo motors.
