Pick the car you would rather race

I would be torn between F1 & Rally. F1 because it's got to be the ultimate G-machine and Rally because it's got to be the most challenging. I rode with a rally driver on a prerun in Ohio, and was stoked for days. It would be the discipline I think I would do best at as I have cross country motorcycle and Moto-Cross experience.

I would love to be sliding sideways in a sprint car, but not one as airborn as that pic you posted. :eek:hmy:

I'll take the stock car because I have had a dream to drive one for so long and I think it's the only one I could have a chance at staying on the track and also inflicting
less bodily harm on myself.

The Rally drivers have a lot of talent.

IMO if you could have the top drivers from all forms of Motorsport compete in a series where they all raced in each of their respective types of cars, the Pro Rally drivers would do the best overall.

I base this on the demands placed on Pro Rally drivers. They have to drive on constantly changing surfaces and conditions over several days. But the main challenge is they are racing at high speeds on tree lined narrow roads and near-roads with blind corners and drop-offs with hills where they regularly get airborne. Add to this spectators standing along the roads, and even in the road. Still not convinced? Consider all aformentioned with the fact they have never driven the course before, there is no practice run! These drivers have to be able to react like no others, and have car control skills that would make them the most adaptable to other types of cars. I have heard F1 drivers say Rally is the most difficult to do.

Tie between Rally and Road Racing (the top photo).

Rally would be a blast but it is time trial racing as to "wheel to wheel". The thrill of reeling someone in, making the pass and defending against the pass gives the edge to Road Racing.

I like Road Racing over the others for the competition (relative to F1 being all about the team you are on) and variety in tracks/makes/models/levels relative to NASCAR or Sprint Car.

The guy and I were corner workers together at Mid-Ohio & Nelson Ledges, and his regular co-driver wasn't able to be there for that day. He asked me if I would be interested in going along, which took me about a tenth of a nanosecond to answer. It was in a Saab 99 in the Touring class, which are very limited in mods, but it was still fast enough to get my adrenalin going. For the life of me I cannot remember his name, it was almost 30 yrs ago!

In most cases that might be true. I would think that Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon(as much as i don't like him!),and maybe J. Montoya and Jeff Gordon could compete in almost any style of racing and hold there own after a few pratice runs. Stewart has won 9 diffrent championships in his 27 years of racing( 2 Cup,1 IRL, and the USAC triple crown just to name a few). And Robby runs anything with wheels and on any surface.:)

No doubt the drivers above would do well, particularly in Rally Cars. I would also add Jimmy Johnson to the list, he has off-road experience, 24 Hour too , and did well in that all-star thing in Europe. But I still believe overall the Rally guys would adapt quicker.
