In NASCAR, there's some actual skill and drivign involved, and you better concentrate and look out for the others, and ye Gods... its almost like... you know... racing! If the other cars/races had drafting, more spectacular and occasionally terminal crashes leaving smoking hulks on the road, that'd liven things up no end! I like NASCAR and will do some of the longer races round the ovals purely for enjoyment. Each to his own I guess.
 * the cars are ugly and all look the same
 * the cars are way too expensive to buy, and R$ upgrades are also rather expensive
 * the races are all the same (Get ahead by T1, don't see any other cars thereafter)
 * No drafting
 * Cutting the first corner and sideswiping other cars to get ahead is far too easy!

Whether you get ahead by turn 1, or not, and how much actual skill is required to win races has much more to do with whether one bot manages, or not.

I’m currently running most of the Mustang LTS fully unserviced (@ required PR for each stage), because the service waits are so tedious in these NASCAR LTSs. Often, I am ahead of the whole pack after just 1 or 2 laps (unserviced) of Daytona or Indy. The rest of the 6+ laps I‘m just going round and round in circles at full throttle with no bot in sight, then wait a bit at the line for them to catch up - not much skill involved in that!
