F1 Discussion

[OllieWestwood]

WRC - still the best way to tell the best driver. Shite TV coverage has killed it, unless you actively seek results or look on the sites I mentioned earlier your likely to not know who or what is winning anything. Red bulls promised coverage has failed to live up to expectation.

WTCC - has the backing of a few manufacturers and holds World championship status, expect that to boom next year as Loeb and Citroen will undoubtably win it.

BTCC - it's the most popular UK series, but agreed, global coverage is poor despite the actual racing lending itself to great TV.

Indycar - very few outside America care

NASCAR - mega money series, most drivers earn more than F1 drivers but outside of US folk find it boring. (I love it!). Good coverage though.

DTM - huge money spinner or Audi, BMW & Mercedes despite the ara being identical bar a sillouette bodyshell. Average racing, poor coverage

British GT - massive this year, why are folk not watching it? Pin up bedroom wall poster cars, good racing, average TV coverage full weekend race packages etc took over from GT3/1 but without the pull of a world or European title

Blancpain - see above, endurance GT racing at its best. Most events on TV.

The whole feeder system to F1 is bolloxed too, where are the stepping stones to get to F1 from karting? Formula ford (BTCC package) Formula 3? (Me and coop watched this last year, shite racing about 7 cars in it, too expensive. Renault 3.5, gone.

Where are the drivers going for aero experience? LMP2, and they are standing there in the WEC!

Support for F1, Porsche supercup, boring. Expensive.


If I could watch one Motorsport only, what would it be....?

Aussie V8s

They have it right.
