Why is turn left popular in USA? Isn't that boring? Why isn't rally or formula popular there?

because nascar used to be about stock car racing, not the super engineered stripped down carbon fiber bodies that race today. It was a cool social event that people would take their stock cars and race them on the weekend.

Why oval?

Nascar is boring as fuck to watch on TV or on the internet, but when i visited a friend in the US he took me to a Nascar race at Daytona which was surprisingly exciting to see in person.

Formula is even more boring.

because ovals are easy to drive on and it was an amateur racing event that people would race for fun.

NASCAR races can be fun sometimes, specially the battles and the "groups" of cars battling each other. Stopped watching long ago tho.

>Formula 1
>maybe next race somebody will overtake
fuck off yuropoor.

Baseball is the same way.

never been a fan of cars or nascar, but couldn't you say the same about horse racing. dog racing. i'm sure it's a lot more fun if gambling is involved

Formula 1 is boring too. Rallying is fun, GT3 and endurance racing are the best

baseball is still boring to see in person but a ball park has a 5000x cooler aesthetic than stupid NFL stadiums or hockey rinks or basketball courts. a baseball park is an amazing place to catch a concert, unlike a fucking football stadium

Pls watch our league.

offroading and non-pavement is way more popular than Nascar

I have been to one and it was the shit. You can see the cars all the time and a lot of things are happening. Watched Formula 1 and every two minutes a colored lighting comes by and you are just sitting there watching the big screens like an idiot.
Do not talk shit about Nascar bro. Careful bro.

because you can see the entire race at all times in the stadium and drink beer with your friends.

People watch it for the crashes.

>Exciting

Are they trying to get up that hill? This is awesome!

My favourite race track you can see everything and it actually has corners

With Nascar it was mostly the the feeling when you get all the cars passing and you're close to the fence that put a smile on my face

it is also really EZ to make an oval track compared to something like Sear's point (they changed the name)

Can't see the full course tho.

Yes it is boring. But it used to be entertaining

I'm not a a big fan of modern formula 1.

>Why is turn left popular in USA?
Racing tracks more complex than that are simply too much for the average Murrican brain to handle

>Mercedeswinslol

Why don't they race in the opposite way and turn right?
Do they want to be communists?

They do race on mixed circuit, it's always fun to see them failing at cornering.

Partially because they easy and use a minimal amount of real estate (at least, the early years) and you could adapt old horse tracks to them. NASCAR started in the south, where there were lots of small 1/4 mile or so horse tracks, many of them abandoned because lol Model T. The massive superspeedway shit only came around decades after it started.

>horse tracks
Never made that connection. I'm a fucking idiot

Almost all of the early tracks are long gone, but some people try to document them as best they can. This should give scale as to what 1940's NASCAR looked like. Those are residential suburban homes.
