A NASCAR cannot compete on any track with a formula one car unless the driver of the F1 car is drunk. There is no way. The HP to weight ratio isn't even close nor is the technology. A good NASCAR might hit 2 to 3 G's in the corners and a F1 car hit's 5 g's in the corner all day long.

There's a little more to an afternoon at Bristol than just turning G's.

actually F1 cars turn just under 4 g's in the hardest turns on the circuits, you can look at formula1.com and get the speed and g info for every turn on every course.

as far as driving goes, the top nascar drivers are good drivers but i'd like to see one turn a 100+ mph lap at monaco like JPM was last weekend. formula 1 is the pinacle of motorsports from engineer to pit crew to driver, hands down
