NPOV and context

While perhaps not as exciting to watch as some racing categories sounds like a personal opinion, and not an encyclopedic one. The context is pretty vague, the these categories are popular with competitors for obvious reasons sentence is too confusing: which reasons? -- ReyBrujo 05:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I don't support this merger with Touring Car Racing - what about something like FIA GT4, which is essentially production racing for sports cars? That belongs in Sports Car racing. The Production Car Racing article should link to both touring car and sports car racing articles, as category of 'production car racing' encompasses varieties of both branches of the sport.

Please note that mergers should be discussed at the talk page of the destination article. Let's keep the discussion centralized. Adrian M. H. 10:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was not merge into Stock car racing. -- Vinay84 (talk) 04:13, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that the above article be merged. They are dealing with the same concept in different terms. Vinay84 (talk) 15:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose - Stock car racing is typified by NASCAR which has nothing what-so-ever to do with Production car racing. It's not even Touring car racing. NASCAR is a Silhouette racing car series. Very, very far removed from Production cars. By the way - could you please check the grammar of your most recent edit? Thank you. --Falcadore (talk) 05:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mention of Silhouette racing cars in the whole article. If all Stock car racing is Silhouette , that should be mentioned. If NASCAR is an exception, then the presence of 'Stock car' in it's name should not mean that the article becomes confusing for Total Neophytes and useless for an encyclopedia Vinay84 (talk) 04:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Silhouette racing car is not an American term, so it's not mentioned in NASCAR's articles. You should however have noticed however that NASCAR is mentioned in the Silouhette article.

While not all Stock car racing is silhouette racing, it is certainly massively inaccurate to suggest it is Production car racing - which was the point of the merger discussion. --Falcadore (talk) 05:40, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
