f1 cars without ballast are in the 1450lbs range. race wieght i think is 750kg or 1650lbs, and they make 750+hp from a 3.5 liter engine

They're also making well over 900bhp at this point.

Ok, I think NASCAR(today) is the racing worlds equivalent to WWE wrestling.
It's entertainment, nothing more nothing less.
They're (Toyota) having a great run at F1, and should keep the focus there.
Toyota in NASCAR makes me sad. . . Like Porsche building the Cayenne.
That's all.

well maybe someone should tell the toyota f1 drivers that they go clockwise not counter.
Considering they have a whole 3 points in the constructors championship.
Compared to ferrari's 106.
AND they have the biggest budget of any other manufacuter out there.

Toyota actually have one of the most powerful engines in f1, just let down by the chassis, which on Toyota's budget is only a matter of time before it's sorted IMO. Bear in mind they've only been in F1 for 3 years which is no time.
