in Nascar it is 43 world of outlaws sprint cars is 24 and any other unknown race track has as many cars that enter the race in each class
Definitely Nascar, because there are so many cars on the track at the same time, and all the cars driving at speeds greater than 100 mph.
44 people have died through NASCAR crashes since it was established. The number has dramatically decreased since the founding of NASCAR, but it still remains a huge threat to those considering entering the sport.
NO! They are two completely different things. Firstly a NASCAR is like a stock car, but faster. A formula one car is and open wheel racer. NASCAR also race around a oval of track, in formula one they race around differntly designed tracks for around 60-70 laps, while NASCAR race up to 300 or more laps, but not often
This site may interest you, (excerpt) PitCommand delivers real-time, GPS-based telemetry from all 43 NASCAR Sprint Cup cars. Follow the cars as they circle the track, watch virtual dashboards, listen to in-car audio, and more. For more details about the PitCommand experience, check out the PitCommand views below. Please see related link They use radar that is spaced at various intervals around the track.
At any track that Nascar has an event, Nascar brings millions into that community and surrounding communities, in a short period of time.
No, most street cars cannot accelerate faster than a nascar car, but some can. A typical nascar car can accelerate from 0-60 in about 4.0 seconds. Some street cars have acceleration times that are pretty close or even beat the times of nascar cars. For example a 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Additionally if a street car is modified with a turbocharger and cold air intake it could very well pass the time of a nascar. However NOT ALL cars can accelerate more quickly than a nascar car. For example a 2014 Honda Odyssey LX minivan accelerates from 0-60 in 7.7 seconds.
Yes many have died in their cars from terrible accidents, the newer cars are a whole lot safer today but there is always the chance of death every time you strap in.
It totally depends on the track. Click on the link below for all the information.
Downhill skiing is not judged. Downhill is based purely on time, like NASCAR or track.
There are several reasons. First, time constraints. Teams have to move between tracks in a week and usually do not go back to their shops between tracks. It is not convenient for the teams to do so either. Also, drivers have little time to get to the next track and test a car - sometimes as little as 2 days. Making major changes to a vehicle isn't practical. Teams run many different cars which are tested and set up for the various tracks around the NASCAR circuit. It's simply easier to switch to another car than to make all of the necessary changes to a single car when going to the next track. Plus, they usually have a back up car in case of a crash as well. Tracks don't change as often as the cars do, so once you get one "dialed in", you keep it that way and build another for the next track.
If you have one of these cars, then you can reserve some track time at your local raceway.
