These are some interesting sites which relates to the topic of Formula 1 racing or NASCAR racing.

www.NASCAR.com

NASCAR.com was obviously one of the more helpful sources used in the creation of this website.  From the diehard fan, to the person who doesn’t know where the pit lane is, NASCAR.com is helpful to all types of viewers.  The site is user friendly with quick loading pages, and easy access to the different parts of the site.  There are news updates, games, history, driver profiles, team information, and basically anything else needed to answer a question one might have.  

 

www.formula1.com

Formula one was another site that was used a great deal in creating our information site.  The site is informative for fans of the F1 circuit and racing in general.  It provides an extensive source of news updates for the seemingly ever-changing rulebook for Formula One.  There are in-depth reviews of drivers and their teams that allow you to take a look into the new technologies that each team has implemented in order to continue their assault on the ‘juggernaut’ known as Ferrari. 

 

www.jayski.com

This site is probably the most extensive fan-based site for any NASCAR fan.  Jayski’s “Silly Season” website began as one man’s hobby, and it has grown into one of the more well-known websites for NASCAR fans.  The off season is when all of the teams go through their changes (ie. Crew Chief, Driver, Sponsor, ect.), and Jayski’s usually has the most up-to-date information available.  It even carries the rumors swirling around certain teams and posts them in regular columns.  In this aspect it is more useful than even registered sites like NASCAR.com

 

www.prestigediecast.com

For those fans that are interested in collectible vehicles, this site provides all sorts of different die-cast models.  Although the site focuses on race cars (Formula One and NASCAR), there is also a variation of other models available.  Old and new model cars are for sale for any avid fan.  Check out this site for a legitimate place to buy your collectibles. 

 

 http://www.chevrolet.com/chevyracing
With Chevrolet dominating the NASCAR circuit with their Monte Carlo, this is a great site to gain new insight about that vehicle as well as information on Chevrolet’s other racing ventures.  The Chevy Racing Corvette has become an icon for many racing fans.  With Canadian Ron Fellows behind the wheel, this should interest many people. 

 

www.ferrari.com

The Formula One circuit is obviously dominated by one team in particular.  Ferrari have far and away the best cars in the field week after week.  Although the racing may become dull to some, the technologies being used by this leading automaker are more than enough to spark some interest of even the more novice fans. 

 

www.wrc.com

For those race fans who crave a little more ‘stock’ in their stock car racing, they should check out this website.  The World Rally Championship has become increasingly more popular over the last 10 years.  With games such as Grand Turismo to market their products, many manufacturers such as Subaru and Mitsubishi have gained a significant fan base due to the success of their Impreza and Lancer. 

 

www.skipbarber.com

While some fans are content to just watch a race from the grandstand or on television, others feel the need to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and become a racecar driver.  At the Skip Barber school of racing, customers are given the opportunity to drive different vehicles and learn the different racing strategies of drafting, passing and other moves. 

 

www.nextel.com

Because Nextel is spending billions of dollars per year to fund a racing series, we thought it would be fair to include them in our page of links.  Nextel became the title sponsor of the NASCAR series when previous title sponsor Winston (R.J. Reynolds) announced that they would no longer be sponsoring the series. 

 

www.bridgestone.com

Bridgestone supplies over 50% of the tires for the Formula One series.  They are also a major sponsor of the series and their logos and memorabilia are very visible all over the trackside at basically every location.  The Nashville, Tennessee-based company was formed in 1990 when Bridgestone U.S.A. merged with the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company.
