Please, someone tell me how this vehicle has any relationship in the reality of what people are driving in this century? How this car has a greater relevance than a F1 vehicle? Both NASCAR and F1 are a fantasy, the difference is that F1 is about cutting edge automotive technology and NASCAR has both feet firmly planted in 1955.
Toyota had to send their NASCAR engineers back to school to learn about carburetion in order to compete in the motorized entertainment.
It uses pushrod valves, carbureted technology in a chassis that is better suited to transport a dozen clowns around the big top. It is hard to wrap my noodle around a race car that either pushes or is too loose. Vehicle dynamics are adjusted by adding “rubbers” and a couple of turns on a track bar.
I have come to the conclusion that NASCAR has little to do with racing. It is a cult that deifies the drivers. Just critically listen to the NASCAR channel on Sirius or the shows on SPEED for any length of time and most people would arrive at the same conclusion. The topics have nothing to do with racing, it is all about Jr. and his step mom, what number is he going to use, or "how about the argument between Kyle Petty and whoever". I am convinced that the France family would be just as happy to remove the cars from the show and only run the weekly soap opera
