Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NHRA.tv at 4.7 against Performance Racing Network's 4.0. NHRA.tv also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 13) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Performance Racing Network's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
