Car racing

[tiggen]

What do you watch? Grand Am? ALMS? NASCAR? F1? Off road? Touring Car? Drag? Dirt?

Rolex 24 is just around the corner. Anybody else gonna watch it?

F1, off road, and touring car. If i can catch it you bet your bottom i will.

anything BUT nascar...

the top of my list is nhra drag racing. you don't just watch it you feel it (if you're at the track)
love the smell of nitro and rubber in the air. there's just something about a "car" that will do over 300mph, under 4 seconds in 1,000 feet.
top fuel dragster and funny cars don't run 1/4 mile anymore...

nothing...boring :asleep:
I can barely keep up with all the two wheel stuff....

F1 and grand touring

F1 when I can. Used to watch all the world rally racing I could find, but I haven't seen it on for a year or two. Just something about haulling a** down a road (ice, dirt, pavement) where you can't see past the next corner, car sideways most of the time and trusting your navigator to get you to the end of the course (or on the flip side, navigating and putting your trust in the driver not to kill both of you).

Mind blowing what the F1 can do on pavement and what the rally cars can do on not pavement!!

F1, WRC, Touring, Rolex Grand Am, 24 hours of LeMans (well the parts that I am up for), AutoX.

The last 3 laps of a NASCAR race when "Debris is on track" and they restart.

Some F1. A little Grand-Am. All Australian V8 Supercars (The best of them all).

No Drag or A$$CAR.

Can't get into those or the German touring cars (DTM). I don't know why. Well, I do for the DTM: those cars just look ridiculous.

F1, monster trucks with my 4 year old- though we enjoy the freestyle more than the racing, and when I'm not working on my car, GT1/FF/FV at SCCA national races.

Just finished all fourteen hours of coverage. Awesome. McDreamy podiumed.

 

[JayhawkInDC]

Pretty much, if there is a checkered flag at the end, I watch it!

 

[TeamBeer]

Yes! Pretty much anything that turns right and left, plus sprint cars! I love those heat races...talk about balls to the wall!!!

 

[venos31]

F1 amazes me how fast those cars are and what it takes to just keep them on the road, World Rally cars, how freaking fast those guys drive on asphalt, gravel, snow and ice...

Yup yup. "Dat ain't no NASCAR!"

In all fairness, that may have been the best 12 minutes of the V8 Supercars season. Just the same, it is the four wheel racing I enjoy the most. Those guys don't make near the money the U.S. or International guys make...and they provide much better racing.

Just imagine that the Miatas are all being driven by cute sorority girls wearing, well, whatever you prefer to imagine.

My 5-yr old likes the F1 so we watch that sometimes. I also enjoy the rally cars.
