Thread: Nascar + Arabs = Watchable Racing

  1. #1

    Talking Nascar + Arabs = Watchable Racing

    If we had more Arabs at the wheel in Nascar wouldn't it be more entertaining race?

    I have seen that video a million times and I still cant figure out what they are trying to do. Are the spinning cars doing this a on an open road? Because it looks like the same truck is driving with them everytime so maybe that is an objective to spin around it. And why in the hell would you think it was a good idea to stand there? It is amazing.

    Seriously, WTF are they thinking standing there? Getting hit by a car is not martyrdom.

    That video just reaffirms stereotypical theories about ceartain demographics and their driving abilities.

    If those nitwits want to take themselves and a bunch of their idiot comrades out with them, who am I to stop them? I say, "More power to them!"

    I don't think the Arab community has figured out that drifting doesn't go well with FWD sedans...

    That video is of all their unsuccessful attempts at this.

    I guess it's the Arabic version of drifting. Since the desert is all straight road, I guess they make their own curves.

    I imagine these are "privledged" teenagers with royal connections that have plenty of money to burn.
    ...and across the line.

    I really hope that this doesn't catch on with American fanbois.

    If they have connections, you'd think they could talk their folks into something better than Hyundai Sonatas.

    ive seen that video before, and i was told that that they do not know what drifting really is and dont know that it involves turns. they just know its the cool "in" thing to do. im pretty sure now they know what it really is. at least i hope so cause that just looks damn dangerous.

    I could say something so funny right now (Probably just to me) But I'm going to keep my political uncorrectness to myself.

    If I had connections and I knew that I would be out f'ing around , erh, drifting with the possibility of wrecking the car or worse, I wouldn't be in anything better than a Sonata. Just as a purest, of course...

    It proves that life is cheap over there! I know this may not be politically correct to say this, but someone has to speak the truth!

    Holy crap... that one guy was torn in half...

    If these idiots want to kill themselves, the least their goverment could do is provide them with a nice steep cliff.

    That's why I said it's not for the faint of heart. There are a few parts where the cars just plow into people and they go flying.

    I'm not sure what is worse:

    The people who think driving like that is cool,

    the people who think it is cool to stand close enough to get killed,

    or the people who think it is cool enough to mix that video of people being killed.
