CART does have a much bigger overseas following. But F1 is king. Over here in Europe, the F1 fans put any of the NASCAR fanboys to shame. I'm going to Monza on Sunday, and they are expecting over ONE MILLION people in the area, even though only about 80,000 can actually get to the race track. And it was the same in May at Monte Carlo.

I guess it's kinda like soccer. It's a sport the world outside the US loves. Driving in circles (don't get me wrong, I do like NASCAR, but not as much as road circuits) just doesn't click with racing fans world-wide.

Give me open-wheel at Laguna Seca over stockcars at Texas Motor Speedway anyday.
