They did a test with Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya where they put Montoya in a Nascar cup car and Jeff Gordon in Montoyas F1 car. Montoya couldn't do shit in the Nascar, he was nowhere near the pace of what the Nascar guys run. He radioed saying the car wouldn't handle and was all over the place. Gordon on the other hand ran the shit out of Montoyas car. On the third lap he made he was less than 1mph off the pace of the pole sitter from a previous F1 race at the track they were running. He loved the traction control that was on the F1 cars. I do agree with your point about speed channel, it should be for all forms of motorsports and not just Nascar.
good point, they put a driver that is used to driving the hell out of a shit box in a great car and a driver of a great car into a shit box, i can imagion it was easier to get into the better car then the slower one.

seriously thats like driveing a 911 turbo all day and switching cars with someone driving a civic (no offense) then letting you both do courses, who is going to look like the better driver?
