Race on.Īir Gear MAL Rated 7.71, Ranked #1003 | Aired: Spring 2006 | Produced by: Toei AnimationĪ young man finds himself living a dream when he obtains a pair of Air-Techs, next-gen roller skates. It really helps when there's good animation behind the action to properly relay the intense speeds these racers travel at, but hey, even without the eye candy, races are still intense to watch.īelow is a compilation of nearly all racing anime ever made, old and new. Be they in mecha suits, cars or bicycles, there's nothing quite as adrenaline filled as urging a favored character across the finish line. So basicly the pit stops in F1 are dynamicly very diferent.I really don't think they'd study the Nascar pit stops.cause (summarising) usually they take place in diferent race conditions, F1 has more people working on the car.and are stationary and the equipment is very diferent.Amid the flurry and popularity of sports anime, racing anime's always been there as the genre's less noticeable, yet just as passionate cousin. Another whing is that the mechanics don't have to run to the left side of the car after changing the right hand tires.like they do in Nascar. I really don't agree with you on this one.in Nascar you have a diferente kind of racing.where you have alot of caution flag periods where the fuel consumption is very low.(don't know this for sure but do they like in CART have a pit window?).besides that in Nascar you have a limit of a certain number of elements working on the car (4 to 6 - can't remember the number ).while in F1 you have a limit of 22 people working on the car (if I'm not mistaken)! Besides that in Nascar the fuel is graviticly put into the car while in F1 you have a pump that pumps 12 litres per second. Humm.just thinking pit stops in F1 go back to the start of the championship in the 50's.then refueling became illegal.and in 1994 refueling came back into F1.tire changes have been there since the start. Taste the flavors, and enjoy the ones that satisify your palate.ĭaveKillens wrote: Trust me, F1 teams had a good look at the dynamics of pit stops in NASCAR before they decided it was feasable for them. There's CART, WRC, F1, BTCC, Aussie V-8's, and so on and so on. Racing is like walking into a Baskin Robbins, there are more flavors than just vanilla. But the outcome and rules are biased, and the integrity of the championship is zero.īut hey, at times it's fun to watch. Yes, the athletes themselves do risk injury from their activities, and yes, the teams and athletes give it their all.
Personally, to me, NASCAR is just like professional wrestling. But the biggest difference is that NASCAR is unashamedly aimed at entertainment, not purist motor racing. Trust me, F1 teams had a good look at the dynamics of pit stops in NASCAR before they decided it was feasable for them. As well, and it may be a bitter pill to swallow for some, but F1 learns from NASCAR. They are both sports, with a common history, and a ball is involved. Trying to comapre NASCAR for f1 is like comparing soccer to US football. I don't like soap operas, but I just don't watch them. Hey, take it or leave it, but please, don't hate it.
But in the last decade, with the advent of increased TV coverage, NASCAR has slowly gained a huge following. I grew up in a road race environment, where CART and f1 ruled. At the start your start light turns green 1 second after the other guys! And to pass to the next round you have to finish infront of the other guy.but you cannot do a time faster then 10 seconds (your qualifying time) or else you're disqualified.īesides that it's a very subjective thing so you cannot consider yourself as the ideal model for the world in terms of thought! (don't mean to offend) the following race you race with a guy that qualified with a time of 9 seconds. you qualify the car with for example 10seconds. With Drag racing it's a little has alot of interest specially the way the races are.cause it goes something like this: Well.I don't agree with you.you're right that it has alot of marketing behind it.but it does have alot of 's a cheaper sport then F1 the prize money is very good comparativly to the cost! And basicly most cars are home built not built by a company! Usually they buy the engine and build the frame and suspension.just the bodywork is the same for all (if I'm not mistaken).
