F1 = Tech & Talent

WWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONGGGGGGG!
They sure as heck deal with weight transfer ALL the time, they DO pass under braking at Over 2/3rds of the tracks, and Many tracks are only 2 or 3 lanes wide Max.
Watch some broadcast telemetry sometime at somewhere like Dover.
That's just One track for examples' sake, but when you have straightaway speeds that are 40-80 MPH faster than the corner speeds, trust me, there's a BUNCH of weight transfer and passing under braking. You Also have the transfer of weight to the right rear when getting off the corners. (On the Ovals).
I admit, there are SOME tracks, (and even the NASCAR fans in this thread have already said it) where the racing is more boring because it's on a wide, Cookie-Cutter 1.5 mile generic track.
If that is your idea of NASCAR, try watching more races across the season in order to catch some of the more interesting tracks.

BTW, you KNOW that I LOVE Road Racing and Sports Cars, so this post is NOT coming from the "NASCAR STEREOTYPE".
