Tiff's NASCAR love? Well, maybe it has to do with UK's channel Five carrying the races on Tuesday nights, but the Fifth Gear crew certainly looks amused, at least by Montoya's now standard answer as to why he left Formula 1 ("...you pass more cars in one race than in a whole F1 career..." right, more passing and more burgers, gotcha Juan!).
In the end though, this is the best piece on NASCAR I have ever seen, it almost makes you want to watch. It certainly points out precisely what NASCAR has and Formula 1 seems to be trying it's best to completely lose: contact with the public.
Say what you will about the Viagra pushing left turners but they don't apologize and they most certainly have no guilt feelings, no biofuel hybrid requirements there.... and for all their lardy low tech race barges they have high tech services for fans, on demand internet feeds, rental close circuit multichannel personal screens at the track... huge access.
F1 could certainly learn a thing or two there don't you think?
