Formula 1 vs. NASCAR

This weekend, while watching the Formula 1 race at Magny-Cours in France, it became very clear how F1 and NASCAR are different.

No, it had nothing to do with the cars or the track, but rather something the announcer said.

While the camera focused on Fernando Alonso going through a chicane, he yelled, “Look at that car dance on the knife-edge of adhesion!”

In NASCAR, the announcer would have translateed as” “Wooohoooo, look at that boy go!”
