I see they have the indy/f1 brake lights on their cars too. Looks like euro nascar is a little less strict on car designs judging from wipers being in different positions on the car. Still though Cannot Find Server posted:Europe: better at oval racing than the United States Hold true.

Running in the rain at a short track would be fine. NASCAR doesn't run that many short tracks. Goodyear isn't going to pay to develop rain tires for those short tracks, and lug them to the track, when most of the time it doesn't rain at those tracks.

They could easily race in the rain in the Cup series on tracks a mile or less in length, but no the world's top drivers are regulated by the biggest pussy of a sanctioning body. Yeah I was saying earlier there is nothing in physics that prevents this. It really makes no sense not too, especially since they get like a 80% ratings hit for rain races. More financial sense to do this than trying to monetize the Air Titan II and building an artificial need for it.

NASCAR: "Well the track is drying up here at Daytona, who is going to change from wets to slicks in this next round of pit st-TROUBLE! Trouble turn 2! Jeff Gordon and Jr. get together after Gordon's tire absolutely explodes going into the turn. Something we feared could happen, these rain tires really can't stand the heat of a drying track for long." SASCAR: "loving Goodyear  "

If Nascar did run an unsafe high speed oval in the rain, any deaths would still be unforeseeable up until Nascar announced a several-track initiative to make running ovals in the rain safer. Which would go on to become mostly-mandatory after the next set of deaths, and then be perfectly safe after the car is redesigned in the new gen to prevent the original deaths. After which point any subsequent deaths go back to being categorized as unforeseeable.

American auto racing would be so much better with him and his stupid family removed from the equation.

My bet is they are after the TV money and some exclusive right, e.g. Hendrick becomes the supplier of engines for all Chevy teams. They're pretty close to that being the de facto case already so it seems like easy pickings.
