..... Formula One seems like America's Cup match racing, where the boats conform to a box rule and the competition is as much about design and engineering as it is about skill on the course. The IndyCar seems to be more of a one design, where the boats are almost identical and it comes down almost entirely to skill and execution.

Of course the boats are not anywhere near to being fast and furious!
