Welcome to the split section of Knotts MotoSports Hub. Here you’ll find a mixed bag of the freshest stories, from high‑octane racing talk to the latest sports headlines. Think of it as a shortcut to the stuff you care about most – no fluff, just the good bits.
Racing debates that spark conversation
Ever wondered why BMW and Audi haven’t joined Mercedes in Formula 1? The short answer is they’re busy building electric and autonomous tech. That focus means they stay out of the F1 pits for now, while Mercedes enjoys the spotlight. Another hot topic is the speed showdown: Formula 1, NASCAR, and IndyCar. F1 usually tops the chart with around 230 mph, but IndyCar can edge past it on some tracks. Meanwhile, NASCAR sticks to about 200 mph but makes up for it with close‑quarter racing. These comparisons keep fans buzzing, and we love breaking them down.
Sports picks, legal updates, and pop culture
If Sunday Night Football is your jam, we’ve got Ravens vs. Bills touchdown picks ready. Derrick Henry leads the Baltimore attack, while Buffalo leans on Khalil Shakir for big plays. On the legal side, UK police have cleared Angela Rayner of an alleged electoral law breach, letting her focus on politics again. And in the world of entertainment, Jean Smart just snagged her fourth straight Emmy for “Hacks,” reminding us that excellence can cross over into any field.
European fans have mixed feelings about NASCAR and IndyCar. Some love the raw speed, while others find the formats puzzling. Still, the enthusiasm shows that American motorsports are making waves overseas. If you’re curious about where to learn racing car setup, YouTube tutorials, online forums, and hands‑on workshops are great starting points. Dive into a few videos, join a local racing club, and you’ll pick up the basics faster than you think.
Finally, let’s not forget the places that live and breathe racing. Italy, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom all host legendary circuits – from Monza to Nürburgring, Daytona to Silverstone. Each country brings its own flavor to the sport, shaping the cars and the culture around them. Whether you’re into endurance LMP1 machines or the quick‑fire IndyCar, there’s a corner of the world that’s perfect for your passion.

Why did CART and IndyCar split up anyway?
Feb 17, 2023, Posted by Maverick Leclair
The Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) and the Indy Racing League (IRL) were two American open-wheel racing series that ran from 1979 to 2003. The two series split in 1996, leading to a decade-long rivalry between the two. The main reason for the split was over disagreements about how the sport should be run and marketed. CART wanted to focus on road courses, while IRL wanted to focus on oval tracks. CART also wanted to emphasize international events, while the IRL wanted to focus solely on US events. The split resulted in a decade of competition between the two series and a decrease in overall viewership. Ultimately, in 2008, the two series merged to create the IndyCar Series, which is still running today.
