They're about even.

As far as rally fans go, ANYTHING is brighter than those guys. They stand on the outside of a corner that a car is going to come screaming around as fast as possible while throwing rocks from it's tires.

A random sampling of house cats.
...with F1 a bit behind that.

In the US, you probably would have more formal education if you are a Formula 1 fan. But world wide I think the IQ of fans of both formulas would be about the same.

i think the iq of both types would be low enough to qualify them all to take the short bus.

I'm not sure which group would have a higher IQ, but I don't think it's safe to assume that the average Nascar fan is a complete idiot. I know a lot of smart, educated people who like Nascar.

yea i would have to say a sampling of those who are tractor pull fans would be lower. but hey im goin to them this weekend up in bowling green, and plan to have a video of them so you can see 6 v8 engines on one machine all timed perfectly so as to fire identically.

I'm kind of a 'suburbs' guy, but I've enjoyed watching tractor pulls occasionally.
How can they possibly get multiple engines to fire identically?

i guess i should rephrase that and say that they are timed identically so they all produce the same amount of power at the same time, all controlled from one gas pedal.
