I don’t think a 1 minute fiat 500 race is a definitive answer to this question

This is like grabbing messi and michael jordan and deciding wether basketball or football is better by having them box each other

F1: Don't cross the white line NASCAR: Don't hit the wall Le Mans: Don't launch the car into the spectators Rally: Don't drive off the cliff Isle of Man TT: Don't die (optional) Dakar: Vehicular manslaughter of medical staff, competitors, and spectators is allowed but frowned upon for legal reasons

Nascar drivers aint breaking from 300km/h to 40km/h in 2,3 seconds, the strain on the body in F1 is just next level

In the end we got the answer to absolutely nothing

Group b trying so hard not to kill themselves or the viewers 💀💀

Group b: Go fast Don't die (optional)

F1 track:⬆️↗️➡️↘️⬇️↙️↖️↙️↖️ NASCAR track:🔄

I don’t think you can compare them cause they’re both challenging in there own ways

Rally... not even open for debate. Fight me.

Only Americans can claim that a 1 minute race in a fiat answered this question.

I don’t get why people can’t admit that both are really fucking hard in their own right

also that fiat 500 is not a “neutral” car, it’s a front wheel drive street car with a very short wheelbase and no downforce. It favors stock car/touring car/rallycross racers

Schumacher in an abarth 500 is kinda hilarious

We should swap the roles f1 does nascar things nascar does f1 things

I’ve seen f1 drivers switch to nascar but never seen a nascar driver make it to f1 Edit: For anyone trying to make the point that nascar is more difficult than F1 it’s not. I’m not saying nascar is easy but F1 is on a whole different level. Left turns compared to a complex circuit 😂

*laughs in Isle of Man*

Ask Juan Pablo Montoya. He is the only driver in the last thirty years to win races in both F1 and NASCAR. He could even tell you how Indy cars compare, having won in those as well, including two Indy 500's in two different types of Indy car. He could also tell you how the Daytona prototypes handle, having been part of the team that won the 24 Hours of Daytona, and he could tell you about winning his class at the 24 Hours of LeMans too. Just a thought.

Typical opinion of a nascar fan

A true motorsport enthusiast will never compare the different classes of races.

Mario Andretti (having once raced in NASCAR as well as F1) once said both are hard in their own way, as each requires a different set of skills.

Rally enters the chat.

Are we gonna ignore the fact that schumacher got given the line with turns while carl just went outside

if they raced in the same circuit that would've been MAYBE fair

definitely f1, the g forces are insane and there are so many turns

If you swapped the grids, both series would put down MUCH slower times in each other's cars because they're just incomparable. Totally different focuses

That's not the only time a NASCAR driver has beaten an F1 driver on a race track.

Toss an f1 driver into a nascar race and a nascar driver into a f1 race. Maybe conduct the experiment a couple times and take their answers and display them

They're probably equally as challenging, but they apply to different aspects of racing. This is like taking a master in Tae Kwon Do and Karate and having them wrestle.

It's like trying to compare golf and disc golf. Two completely different sports.

Should have had them drive each other's car and see how close they can get to their lap time

Nascars are like driving bricks. F1 is driving a precision knife. Two complete opposites

Bro literally showed an Indy car highlight at the beginning

This is like asking which is harder: piano or guitar. Both are highly specialized but if you learn one the other is going to be slightly easier in the beginning.

They are not comparable, it like asking someone, ”which is harder: basketball or football?” There’s no answer

both are hard in their own ways, both cockpits get unbelievably hot, both require constant concentration

Well Alonso was 4 seconds faster than Jimmy Johnson in a Nascar in Bahrain.

Opens NASCAR v F1 discussion with an awesome IndyCar save 😂

Juan Pablo Montoya won races in Nascar well out of his prime. That settles the question really.

I think it’s unfair because a f1 car is so much different than a fiat and a nascar car is more similar

Nascar is the definition of " Cars driving in circles "

The most challenging motorsport in general is Australian V8 Supercas. I can't be bothered to explain why because Driver61 allready made a video on it

Save yourself 60 seconds, he doesn’t answer the question

Thats why Mcqueen beat Francesco

There is a reason why multiple f1 drivers become nascar drivers but not the other way around

F1 is competitive, but there are a few more competitive series like V8 Supercars and Rallycars. Specifically WRC. The V8s are basically stock cars on a F1 track. And WRC is a sport where you need to be PERFECT to win. There are no walls, no safety procedures, if you make a mistake you're flipping into a tree or off a mountain.

They should have a NASCAR champ drive an f1 car and a f1 champ drive a NASCAR and have them decide which is harder. And I think NASCAR on a road course would be the hardest

It’s like saying we have Michael Phelps and a fish competing today but instead of in water we’re going to see who can swim the fastest in molasses

Which is more challenging? Just ask someone who’s driven both cars: Juan Pablo Montoya. In Season 18 Episode 2 of Top Gear, in which Richard Hammond examined NASCAR history and culture, Montoya had this to say: “To drive, nothing drives like a Formula 1 car. But these cars are more unpredictable. They slide a lot more. They have no brakes. And when I say no brakes…because, the cars are so heavy and the brakes are so tiny.”

Kimi Raikkonen raced Nascar at one race, did incredibly well before getting taken out, and that was his first ever nascar race, I don't know a single nascar champion who would do that in their first F1 race

if you really think nascar is harder,then i totally understand why you are watching nascar.

There’s much more strategy that comes into F1 but in nascar it’s just a circle of trying not to die

F1 is like Chess, NASCAR is like Uno. You need skills to win them in their own way.

they’re equally hard in their own ways

If Schumacher was on the NASCAR track, he'd probably win as his track was not straight. It was twists and turns and Carl Edwards had the straight line, making it incredibly unfair

If the F1 driver had won the legitimacy of the race wouldn't have been questioned in the slightest

Carl Edwards was one of the best NASCAR driver in the 2000s, Schumacher was only a F1 driver, who never raced NASCAR. Edwards won, because the normal sportcars, that they raced are more closer to a NASCAR car, than a F1 car.

Rally: “Who the hell are you?”

Without the slightest doubt whatsoever the most Challenging Motorsport in the World is the WRC. That's in another level of sheer skill in Control of a Race car.

"Mikel Schmacker" 😂😂 (im sorry but its just hilarious😂😂)

There really is no way of comparing them. Each have their own unique characteristics

Its like apples and oranges, ya can't compare the two.

One is a car, the other is a jet

NASCAR guy was driving an alternative circuit that better suited his style

As a NASCAR fan, F1 is a totally different animal to pretty much any other racing series. It's less racing cars and more racing jet planes that are velcroed to Earth. It requires a much different skillset than many other disciplines, which is why I think Edwards, a mid to high tier NASCAR driver, was able to best Schumacher in that race. The ROC car is much closer to what Cousin Carl is used to racing, whereas there's basically nothing in common between the ROC cars and an F1 machine. Both are very technical and everyone who races professionally is a better driver in their sleep than I could ever be, but they both have qualities that make it hard for a head to head comparison.

I think both of them have their own challenges.

let’s put a gamer and a navy seal in a soccer match to prove which ones better ahh logic😂

The hardest motorsport is all of them. It's not easy driving a race car between 100 and 220 mph on some of the toughest tracks that have you side by side in a huge pack on the verge of being wrecked, racing on high banks of a short track, going through some of the tightest corners on road courses, battling on a small 1 grove banked mile, or slugging it out on a dirt course where fenders and tempers can fly off. Driving a race car is hard in general as each series, car, and track is different. It comes down to what are the most challenging things to racing, and then you will find your answer.

What an incredibly cherry-picked example lol. If you go by Race of Champions results, rally drivers probably have the edge.

Funny how people here in the comments keep yelling "F1!" "Nascar" "Rally!" Every single championship is highly challenging in its own way. In F1 you gotta be a surgeon in every lap to be as fast as possible every lap while managing tyre temp and degradation, fuel and a perfect strategy between pit and driver. In Nascar you are battling for hours every single lap, the tension is insane, strategy is important as well but the driver gotta know when and where to take his chance. In rally you basically have to be the fastest in every single condition to be called "world champion". Stop debating on these useless stuff making stories out of nothing and just be a huge petrolheads community for once.

"nascar or f1" starts the video off with Indycar

The funny thing is that on a debut for nascar Shane van gisbergen won the race by a lot… so I think that the real motorsport to watch is supercars, problem is, all the races are at night in the northern hemisphere

f1 cockpits it can get up 150F normally around 140

The Australian V8 Supercars is the hardest, not only do they race on incredible tracks but they are also hard to drive and especially due to there short wheelbases it makes them hard to drive. On top of that you also have to try not crash and also rules are much more strict, and especially when the best race of the season is the Bathurst 1000, give it a watch! It’s extremely entertaining!

Rally takes the cake, mfs got balls of steel and some serious skill

Rally drivers: Hold my beer

They aren't really neutral cars as the fiat has closer levels of down force to a NASCAR than an f1 car which would actually mean that the knowledge and experience of the NASCAR driver would give him an advantage in terms of the racing lines

Both disciplines have their merits, like you said F1 is about precision, NASCAR is more about wheel to wheel battles, personally I respect both, I'm not going to choose one over the other

Bro showed an Indy car in the first clip 😂

If you really think Nascar is harder than F1, your parents are related.

“I assume Schumacher mad a small mistake somewhere “ the guy announcing is so baffled that Carl Edward’s the nascar guy is beating the f1 guy Schumacher even said Carl flat out beat him

Anyone that thinks Nascar is easy knows nothing about stock car racing

Montoya said NASCAR was the hardest out of anything he drove, soooo

"Which is harder, med school or law school? To decide, we gave a dirt bike to a lawyer and a car to a doctor and had them do a demolition derby."

Carl Edward's just a beast

Rally drivers be like: "cute... Real cute"

They’re both challenging in their own ways

They let Carl Edwards drive straight while Schumacher turning the whole time 💀

Juan Pablo Montoya once said that NASCAR was harder than F1

Im an American and like most Americans was a nascar fan at first, but then I switched to formula one. For a long time I despised nascar for years but over the past year after getting into touch with the online nascar community I’ve realized the beauty of it all again. It’s a style that’s challenging in its own way. That’s why motor racing is such a beautiful sport. It can be done in so many ways. Also RawGator is the goat for explaining the differences in a non-bias way and even bringing the Schumacher vs Edwards comparison in

This is like grabbing Pessi and Micheal Jordan and making them box to decide which sport is better when it’s obviously football

The best way to confirm is to get a NASCAR and F1 driver to compete in a race in the respective motorsport.

NASCAR///: just 400 laps in a oval

It’s like comparing a bare knuckle fist fight to fencing

It's so fun and exciting being an F1 fan, I just love knowing who the champion will be two races into the season.

NASCAR drivers when right turn shows up💀

American minds are so simple. 1 guy won 1 race so nascar drivers are better. 😂😂😂😂😂.

F1 is harder because you have to be good enough to get on a good team

A i minute race between just 2 drivers only proves which of those 2 at that moment in those 2 cars was performing better at that moment. The same with any comparison.

Mind you. They had a rematch, and Schumacher won. So thats not a good way to gage which is better
