F1 is still going?

F1's not even a sport.

All very well that F1 has developed engines etc but its not even real, the driver in a lot of cases is just necessary ballast.

touring cars etc is a much more challenging sport. Look at Mansell he went from F1 to touring and kept smackign the cars. Why? Well he was used to F1 cars doing what they were told and them being super light, he couldn;t judge a saloon cars braking distances, acceleration etc.

rallying is on at 2am etc on ITV which I sometimes watch.

But rallying and touring are real cars, ok they may not be road going production models but they are not as far from a production cars as you would imagine. They need to use stock water pumps, blocks etc.

I used to like touring cars but they sound a bit wheezy, and it just looked like a vauxhall one make series.

Yeah, I think the BTCC and DTM are 300% better than F1. I even like NHRA 1/4 mile ....seeing 6000BHP doing the 1/4 mile in 6 sec.... Cool

Yeah the 1/4 mile is worthy of watching when the big boys are on.

I only watch nascar to see the crashes, theres never any Sad

I try get to mondello race track at least once every 3 weeks. Rallycross and rally sprints mostly. Best racing is in the 1600 class but the 5-700bhp supercars are awesome!

I do like the WRC, I'll watch F1 / F3000 or what ever but much prefer the likes of Clio / Porche Cup racing

i will watch anything ....i dont follow any but i like watchin them. i need sky, used to have a friend with sky and i used to have the motors channel on all the time...used to be nascar most of the time, but sometimes you'd get top fueler drag racing which is just awesome...and sometimes those funny little cars that go round a dirt tracks,...look like a go kart with a huge wing on top and a v8 mother engine!
