By production I mean non-single seater. So "Why is F1 so popular? Reasons being part of what have been mentioned above already, and then the fact that the 'media' absolutely forcefeedram NASCAR down our throats, coverage is wide and loud if you can not avoid it, you will follow.
NASCAR do suffer from the same leaving of bums in the seats that we are discussing when talking F1, but not nearly to the extent it happens in F1. Close racing, contact and yes The Big One are part of it, as is the Southern Origins of the sport, the passion with which the Southerners now generalzing naturally embrace NASCAR as their thing can not be underestimated, money talks and money talks loudly in The Exited States.
They are however feeling an economic crunch as well and the next generation drivers needs to make an impact on Joe Public as Jimmy, Jeff and Dale JR which may tough ones to follow, bland and corporate is in the future of NASCAR as well. Indycar and F1 are about equal. It's going to be insanely difficult for any outside sport to get recognition in America. It's not ignorance, it's competition. I could not agree more. They've fined drivers for what they've said. And even what they've said over the radio to their teams.
That said, it is without doubt still king of the hill when it comes to motor racing in the States. Popular motorsport series are suffering across the board. Edit: Ninja'd. Americans are force fed Nascar. It is an interesting and entertaining branch of motorsport though hardly serious! Very stage managed and choreographed. Just like V8 Supercars here in Oz. Nascar style racing has been tried elsewhere with mixed results.
Bob Jane has an empty dome on the Calder Highway. Millennials are that wide an age range? There's a HUGE difference betwen 18 and What happened to Generation Y? I thought Millenials were like, fairly young. I found that funny too. First thing I thought was that the guy who wrote this was at least on the other side of It got subsumed into the Millennials cohort. The starting birth year is conventionally taken at , so perhaps the survey was drawn up by a hip 36 year old.
The declining interest among successive generations seems to be what Formula E is trying to combat. However, a smaller proportion of Millennials follow almost all sports than Americans as a whole, with basketball, soccer, and boxing being the exceptions. Posted 25 September - I've heard all the arguments, and they just don't ring true for me. These cars were swoopy and fast!
And they drove on curvy roads -- just like the curvy mountain roads I would drive on once I got my driver's license! I had no interest. And the cars they drove -- Monte Carlos and Thunderbirds -- there was nothing sexy about that.
It's attitudes like that that stop me watching Nascar. Describing women by their genitalia seems a bit old fashioned and slightly provincial to me. Fan accessibility is certainly something that appeals to me, even only as a casual viewer.
If I went to a live event, I can expect to get a lot out of the experience whereas perhaps that isn't the case universally. Also driver accessibility. All moving parts and chess moves and over coaching and guaranteed close finishes for the most part.
I'm totally entertained by this thread, and threads like it, where people that have never or rarely posted in a NASCAR race thread, crawl out of the woodwork to pontificate on a type of racing that they know very little about. Bonus points for 'merica bashing. NASCAR completely blew up I'd say about the mid nineties, and there is no way they could sustain it with the next generation, the Millennials, and their notoriously short attention spans, F1 has much the same problem, I'd say.
I used this words because it perfectly fits to the sentence before. Just for fun. If you feel offended i would like to apologize. Unlike in football, ohh the ball is at this line, oh man its now at this line. Whoopee they got a field goal. Exciting, yes? I must agree with others that the implosion of Indycar was an own goal, that allowed NASCAR to race away to American circuit racing superiority as it were.
Awful, xenophobic attitudes like those mentuonde earlier are why it is successful as that demographic makes up a large proportion of its fans. The drivers I rate, I really do. But the racing is dull as dishwater. Yes they pass a lot, big deal, I could pass Johnson in the draft, then he would leave me standing in a bend.
My point is its passing for passings sake, nothign matters until the last 20 laps, and before that there are trade stalls, drunkenness, food.
Quite ehy every arce is so long I dont know, Oh let me guess, "this series is bought to you by Pepsi, Toyota, Snickers, Nextel, etc etc" What are you going to do while all that boring stuff between laps 10 and Come spend with us! That is me. I stopped watching after Montoya left the series - correlate this with Montoya being named the most popular driver in the Indycar series this year.
Diversity is always important factor to increase popularity. Now 72 years old, the racing organization has managed to evolve through the decades in order to meet the changing trends, technology, and preferences that directly affect the sport. A fairly new challenge that spectator sports now have to contend with is the rise of the various streaming services that offer varied content that is available across a variety of platforms.
As streaming services provide instant entertainment while NASCAR has scheduled and lengthy race events, the comparison is similar to ordering drive-thru cheap and convenient versus dining at a fine restaurant pricier and takes longer before you can eat.
This is convenient if the city where a follower lives in has a track, but for those that live a long distance from NASCAR venues, the cost to go to watch them is gradually becoming more expensive due to the continually rising prices of fuel. Traveling out of town to attend a NASCAR event would sometimes require staying at a hotel in order to maximize the time and effort spent during getting there.
These fans would attend a race, then go sightseeing around the town so as to make the trip more worthwhile and as a result, even more money is required to be put in the budget in order to cover the costs for a dew days hotel stay. NASCAR vehicles evolved over the decades to become safer for the drivers and spectators, the result of which is that cars today are uniform, standardized vehicles with their bodies basically just shells on top of a chassis.
Removing the Toyota logo and Supra badge, one would be hard-pressed to identify, and in actuality, to associate with the car on what it is supposed to represent.
Motorsports encompass a wide variety of classes that offer numerous choices for fans of auto racing. It is understandable that throughout its existence, rule changes have been implemented at NASCAR, and the reasons for such have varied from safety, technological, or as organization initiatives to provide more challenges or add excitement to the races.
Admittedly, several of these rule changes have been beneficial to the sport, but some have unfortunately come across as marketing stunts that have turned away fans.
Not just limited to NASCAR but to many other sports as well is the gradual retirement of its well-known athletes that were the main draw for people to watch the events.
