I'm from Europe so I should vote Formula 1. But I voted Nascar. It's much more thrilling and low-tech. To bad we hardly see it here in Europe, except some bad compilations on the Eurosport network. Formula 1 has become too predictable, Nascar (and IRL and CHAMP) are exciting through the last corner. Too bad the Nascar series aren't brought to Xbox in Europe... but on a second thought, it's an EA game, so maybe nothing really is lost.

Hmm, I feel like your exact opposite on this issue Gnorn. I live in America and HATE with a passion beyond all, even surpassing my hate for Idaho, NASCAR. And i hate it for the reasons you love it, low-tech balls to the wall racing. I respect all the drivers within the series but cannot stand watching a single race the whole way through, they always throw a ytellow flag in the last 10-30 laps to condense the field, where as Formula one is strategy, planning and pure skill.

Go Alonso!!!!!

And Renault F1, may this season bring more wins!!!

Eliteskull94, all mentioned racing classes are a different ballgame in the field of motorsports (what does a ball got to do with it?) so they aren't really comparable, but that aside. I watch all Formula 1 races, and still enjoy them. But in Formula 1 it mainly only gets interesting when the big names drop out and the lesser drivers (your Alonso for example) gets a shot at the podium. How many times I've been hoping at the last stages of a race that a Ferrari, McLaren or Williams would drop out so a Renault, Jordan or even Minardi would end up on the podium! And by the way, I miss Damon Hill :-(

I like the V8 supercars the most because Fords finally kicking Holdens arse, you really have to be Australian to understand. F1 is to predictable Ferrari always wins.

MotoGP (premier motorcycle class)
F1
WRC Rally

Those are the best. Actually any Motorcycle racing is great.
I'm a huge fan of motorsports, but how is NASCAR thrilling... woof. 400 miles of a circle and the passing isn't that great IMO (in my opinion)

To each his own I guess.

Exaclty. Gnorn thinks that F1 is too predictable but Schumacher never did lose 2 times, I think.

I don't think I understand what you are saying? What do you mean by "Schumacher never did lose 2 times"? Thanks.

I do trackdays sometimes great fun to pay £20 and have a blast round a circuit.
And when your not on there is great fun to watch people of all different levels of skill and sanity( the best to watch are the ones who have neither) could be almost any car going round. Lots of subarus evos old cosworths mgs ferraris clapped out bangers.
As for motorsport the most spectacular i have seen is topfuel dragsters 0-300 in 5 seconds but most of the appeal goes when its on tv

Rally. I have aspirations to become part of a great rally team. I don't think you can beat the feeling.

Oh we will we see, triple 8 racing are getting their engines from stone brothers racing so that means even more good Fords for the Holden to worry about.

Thats one of the reasons im an enourmous fan of Alonso because of his absolute domination at Hungary in 2003, Ferrari was slipping and Alonso just took Ferrari by the throat and throttled them, even lapping the Almight Schumacher *Gasp*.

The main reason i keep watching is to see Ferrari fail and lose, it will happen, whether with Schuey retiring or Ferrari losing its grip, or both.

Damon Hill coming back in a Minardi and winning would be absolutely stunning.
