how can you compare a race on a track with officals and clean up crew with flag people were the drivers get warm up laps and then drive on the same track for xxx laps to a race on a dirt road with cows, horses, people, jumps, water crossings, snow, pavement, dirt, no laps no practice just ------- go full out and hope for the best.------- idiot kids

I would be more terrified attempting a rally race than a formula 1 race.

Going fast speeds on snow across a mountain would seem to put me on edge more than driving fast on a road with very sticky tires and numerous other technologies to keep me going where I intend to go. Oh, and no risk of going off the side of a mountain or into a tree.

F1 cars are normally aspirated 3.0 v10s. they dont have pop off valves to limit the boost they dont make. You might be thinking of cart.

F1 drivers are also pulling 5gs or so of lateral force, those cars are no joke... im not sure anything but a superbike is faster around a road coarse and to me, that takes some serious skill to drive. Not that rally does not (because of the whole sideways factor) but the speed and cornering ability is just not there.
