watching Kimi Raikonen last night driving his WRC Citroen Car at Portugal rally

Question.... if you have a choice between driving a Formula 1 and WRC rally car, what would you choose ?

Grumpy Badger · 3 April 2011, 08:18 AM

For a one off experience, no doubt, F1. The feeling of power must be incredible!

If I had a chance to really get to grips with it, rally.

swatty · 3 April 2011, 08:38 AM

F1 without a doubt , To many trees on those rally courses

East Bay Rider · 3 April 2011, 09:04 AM

Rally (since we're dreaming - Dakar)

Mosco · 3 April 2011, 09:08 AM

Yeah, I'd love a rally as well. That looks challenging.

Caraptor · 3 April 2011, 10:47 AM

Rally all the way for me.

Going from "the car is everything", 20 races/year, 200 miles/race, 12 cars/race, almost no passing (excuse me... "overtaking") except in the pits (excuse me... "paddock"), first qualifier generally wins unless team orders conflict, to NASCAR, isn't an adjustment that sits well.

The F1 car just to experience the acceleration, braking, and cornering G's.

Just look what happens when rally champions go in F1 .. they win
When a particular polish F1 pilot tries his hand at rally you get a different result .

mtrunner · 4 April 2011, 04:55 AM

F1 racing for sure!

Dr. Robert · 4 April 2011, 07:52 AM

Formula 1

F1...Primarily cause I think I'd crash and die in a rally car. "Is that Sonny Bono?? Arrrgh tree!!"

Route 66 · 5 April 2011, 04:27 AM

An F1 for sure.

Although I hear that it wouldn't be as easy I thought. I'm told that two things are vitally important while driving one of those cars: Keep your brakes HOT and keep the engines RPMs UP.

I don't know if I'd be coordinated enough to accomplish both of those and still concentrate on my driving.

garGARgar · 5 April 2011, 06:12 AM

MOTO GP!!!! heh...jk. Well, not really.

I really enjoy both, F1 and WRC. WRC just looks a lot more fun to do. Which is why Kimi probably switched!

WRC it is!

dbphotos · 5 April 2011, 06:17 AM

Rally car.

I've driven a NASCAR car and it was fun, but no trees, mud, gravel, snow, etc...

blackmsport · 5 April 2011, 06:49 PM

maybe DTM... (German Touring Car) where you race Mercedes against Audi

or BTCC where you race BMW 3 series against others

Cru Jones · 5 April 2011, 07:01 PM

which one has better groupies?? my gut tells me F1, but, i'm not sure.

F1, F1, F1!

With rallying there is always the chance of getting drunk and waking up next to a fat bird from Wales who offers you some Bovril from her Thermos flask!

Never seen that in Monaco!

Lion · 5 April 2011, 09:32 PM

For me it would be Formula 1 for sure.....pure speed!!!
