F1 is quite international, although there's an increasing number of Germans at the moment. There's only 2 Brits in contention, so I'm happy for either of them to win. One is last year's champion, the other was champion the year before, and they're in the same team for the first time this year. Having said that, it's very close this year between the top teams. Back to NASCAR, I heard the commentator mention there were 2 road courses, thanks for filling in the other one. Although the motorsport I watch is all on this type of circuit, the NASCAR on ovals that I've seen before was much closer. Which type of track do you prefer, and how much do the ovals vary?. I know that, despite the name, the shape changes from track to track. If an F1 car stops on the circuit (breakdown or accident), and there aren't any shards of carbon fiber or other debris across the track, this occurrence is normally handled with waved yellow flags where the drivers only have to slow down through that section of the track, and they can't overtake. Safety (pace) cars are only used for bad crashes, mainly to allow the marshals to clear the track safely. Does NASCAR do this, or do they just throw a full course caution and/or send out the pace car?. I only got to see the highlights, so this part of the race is usually cut (even when I've seen whole races they tend to go to a commercial break).
