im no nascar enthusiast but to make that comparison just proves you dont know much about nascar and its rules and regulations.
if anything nascar is a much easier to relate to sport than f1, which is so extravagant and most of its fanbase so snobby it makes me want to vomit.
don't shit on nascar when you dont know much about the spot
oh and..
Well yes, I was just talking shit... that was the point
If you want to take an actual argument out of my pretentious sounding statement, it would be that from an engineering point of view, F1 is superior.
(I'd say that the budget differences alone would be enough to justify this... +the KERS thing you quoted. There's also the 2009 nascar testing ban etc.)
I'll admit that whether that makes it a better sport or not is entirely subjective... Someone who cites driver ability as the heart of a motor sport will tell you that's what ruins it... If you talk to an engineering student who competes in formula SAE, he'll tell you for him, yes

thats what we do here! talk shit!
nascar is about doing the best you can with what you have and f1 is about pushing the limits
both are extremely high tech regardless
from an engineering view f1 is more advanced, for sure- but there is still quite a lot learned from nascar engineering that in some cases can end influencing cars on the road
while the same is true for f1, the trickle down takes a lot longer and the cars affected have a much smaller demographic

Sorry for insulting Moncton by comparing it to Montreal
