NASCAR vs. Formula One In NASCAR and Formula One racing, there can be a lot of action that can happen in the time of the race.

hear the word “karting”? Many people still don’t know what karting is. They try to relate it to the cart; the basket to take your things from the market with the wheels on it. In this situation, kart means the miniature of car racing, especially Formula One (F-1) cars. And karting means racing of using a kart.

For example, there are only 11 team in the F1 Championship. Some of them are pure race stables. From the budget chart, we can get know some of them are tiny.

However, if the challenge is too difficult, only three or four team survive after these changes. The F1 Championship will its value, and the reducing competition will slow the improvement of

Ayrton Senna is the protagonist in his story, the “best” driver to ever walk the earth and best race car (Formula 1) driver to ever come across motorsport. His great skill of driving was supernatural, no one could beat him. Sadly he died on May 1, 1994 in a fatal crash which is very ironic because before the race started, Senna told his team he was wary that he was going to crash and he prayed the night before not to lose his life the next day. But he is still remembered as the best driver on the
