    Do you mean quickest or fastest?
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Fastest doing what? Changing tires, cutting corners, flying through the air? You need to be a little more specific.

    If you mean fastest by overall speed, I guess Nascar and oval racing since the drivers average about 190Mph constantly.

    yeah, but if you would let loose a current LMP1 car or an F1 car on an oval, the balance might tip the other way....it all depends on the gearing..

    I suppose so. I've heard F1s are very, very fast cars when setup for speed instead of racing circuits.

    In nearly all cases I'd go with open wheels. Since IRLs weigh slightly more than F1s and have more torque I'd have to say F1 on a road course and IRL on an oval. If time were a factor I don't think anything can keep up with an LMP1 car for more than 10 hours, probably less. Don't forget to put MOTOGP somewhere in the top 10. Also, if the track were dirt the Pikes Peak unlimited class cars would be untouchable.

    ..... if it were a dirt oval maybe winged Outlaws.

    ...... and what if we were talking about a motorcross course?

    we really need to know what track or at least what kind of track to answer h22a's question.
