    Formula 1 and NASCAR are two major forms of motorsport that originated in different parts of the world - Formula 1 in Europe in the 1950s and NASCAR in the United States in the 1940s. While Formula 1 races longer on road courses and street circuits around the world in open-wheel cars focusing on cornering speed, NASCAR races shorter oval track races in heavier stock cars focusing on straightaway speed, primarily in the United States. Both sports have evolved significantly over the decades and attract large, passionate fanbases, but cater to different audiences - Formula 1 has a more international and upscale image while NASCAR has a stronger fan presence in the American South and Midwest.
