Bob Tasca III lives a fascinating life as an NHRA Funny Car driver on the weekend but the vice president of Tasca Automotive Group during the week. In our conversation we dig into a busy portion of the NHRA schedule; the great Funny Car points battle; the mental battle of Sunday eliminations and not getting another run; what it was like when NHRA went to a playoff format; what Tasca is processing in the three seconds he's down the track; learning to respect the power of a nitro car; joining the 300mph club; electrification in NHRA; working with Tony Stewart on the Cobra Jet program; what it's physically like to drive a nitro Funny Car and the sensation of speed and if you can lose that; following in the family footsteps; dealership Tasca versus driver Tasca; needing an adrenaline rush; splitting time between the dealership and racing; how his family coined the ‘win on Sunday, sell on Monday' phrase; being surrounded by great men like his father and grandfather; having the dealership work serve as a distraction from racing; the most exciting thing about drag racing.

FE DE EERRORES. Como véis en los comentarios, me he olvidado de Jacques Villenueve... imperdonable fallo que debéis tener en cuenta. Creo que también debería haber explicado mejor el origen de los ovales.... así que haré otro vídeo sobre automovilismo USA. Se supone que la Fórmula 1 es la máxima categoría, donde están los mejores coches, los mejores pilotos y donde la rivalidad es máxima. Pero hay quienes opinan que no es así, que la Indycar es una categoría más rápida, más competida y con pilotos muy especializados que son verdaderas leyendas… veamos quién tiene razón. Habéis sido muchos los que me habéis pedido este vídeo. Porque esta rivalidad entre F1 y la Indycar es histórica. Es una rivalidad entre el nuevo y el viejo mundo, entre dos conceptos de entender las carreras. Para mí esta es la clave, por eso antes de entrar en detalle voy a haceros unas reflexiones, necesarias para entender estas diferencias. La primera es sobre el concepto que tienen del espectáculo en los Estados Unidos de América. Como me dijo mi acompañante americano: “Un buen espectáculo aquí tiene que ser corto, intenso y permitir comer mientras se ve”… Y esta es en parte la explicación de por qué los óvalos en los USA: Puedes ver todo el circuito, sale un safety cada poco, con lo cual es como volver a empezar y, en estos casos, la comida te la llevan a tu asiento…. Como en el béisbol. Pero hay otra reflexión más: ¿Cómo nació el Motorsport a los EE.UU. de América y en el viejo continente? El nexo común de las carreras en Europa es que predominan las curvas y los grandes circuitos que fueron carreteras o inspirados en carreteras y en los que el espectador ve como mucho una parte… aunque hay excepciones, como Cheste, que lo ves todo. Y mientras tanto, ¿Qué pasaba en los “USA”? Pues varias cosas: Un país enorme en el que poder conducir un coche es casi imprescindible, en el que las carreteras más usadas son básicamente rectas y en el que, como conduce cualquiera casi sin un examen decente, porque conducir se considera un derecho y una necesidad, el nivel de conducción es pésimo y los límites de velocidad, muy estrictos. De ahí nacen las carreras de aceleración que derivan en los dragters y luego, cuando unes cuatro rectas con unas curvas, en los ovales. ¿Hay circuitos convencionales? Sí, no muchos, pero los hay, aunque la Indycar, en la búsqueda de público, prefiere los circuitos urbanos… lo mismo que hace por cierto, la Fórmula E. Hay una tercera reflexión: Para los estadounidenses las carreras con un espectáculo y una operación de marketing. Recordad la famosa frase de Bob Tasca, “Ganar el domingo, vender el lunes”. Mientras en Europa el Motorsport era un escaparate tecnológico, una competición en la que cada país mostraba el nivel técnico de sus coches. Porque se da la afortunada circunstancia de que hay un circuito en el que han rodado tanto los Fórmula 1 como los Indycar: El circuito de la Américas, en Austin. Y comparar los tiempos que hacen unos y otros, nos da pistas de por donde van los tiros. El mejor tiempo por vuelta de un Indycar fue hasta esa fecha, de 1’46”6258 mientras que el de F1 de Lewis Hamilton fue de 1’32”237. Como curiosidad os diré que los biplazas del Campeonato del Mundo de Resistencia fueron más rápidos que los Indycar o MotoGP. Coche del día... Hoy no hay coche del día… ¡Hay coches del día, en plural! El primero, Europeo, el Lotus Elan Coupé de 1965, una de las creaciones estelares del mítico Colin Chapman. Como representante USA he elegido un coche mucho más moderno, aparecido en 1991, el Dodge Vipper RT/10 de 1992. Pesaba 1.600 kg, y contaba con un motor de 10 cilindros en V, 8 litros de cilindrada y 400 CV. Ver vídeo: https://youtu.be/YYK4Z3trmYE
