Exactly! One of the reasons it's not that popular here.... too predictable.

Meh! NASCAR (and Indy).

The rest of the motorsports world simply switches to rain tires (studded snows for winter WRC) and goes racing. many of the iconic race pictures from F1 and LeMans are cars racing in downpours. These guys?

Hey Hey Hey!! Watch whatcha say!! Them thar's fightin' words to a NASCAR fan (like me!!)! Propeller Toast
Truthfully, though, big, big difference between an F1 setup for rain, and a NASCAR vehicle. It's like comparing apples and models.... And yes, I love F1 racing, too. Too bad Indy couldn't keep it together long enough a few years ago to keep F1 popular here in the States.

Bubba: Hey, Cletus, 'm I gettin' mah 'shine this week or whaht?

Cletus: Sorry, Bubba, it's rainin' here in t' holler. Cain't be drivin' in no  rayun.

My friend and his wife that came down to visit us over the weekend form SC and got caught up in the heavy RV traffic on I95 Monday morning on their way back home. He had some choice words about the delays. Censored

Yep, that was a great finish.... And that's all I'll say right now, just in case someone has recorded it and hasn't watched it yet.

Took all day, but it looks like it's getting interesting, like the morning commute to work.
