What Is Your Favorite Automotive Racing?
 
What do our forum members prefer? I have listed most of the different categories, I know there are about 20 others but these are the most popular. What are you a fan of?

Formula Racing
Touring Car Racing (Trans Am)
Sports Car Racing (GT)
Production Car Racing
Stock Car Racing (NASCAR)
Rallying
Drag Racing
Off-Road Racing
Dirt Track
Autocross
Kart Racing
Historic Motorsport (is this really racing?)

For me it's a toss-up between Formula and Drag racing.

A big +1 on that. My grandmother is the only other race fan in the family (she's 94) so we always get together to watch the race. She has been a race fan forever and likes to tell me about watching Fangio at Silverstone back in the day. Now she's a Hamilton fan, while I root for Vettel. Go RBR!

I admire a select few racers, Kenny Roberts and the Andretti clan come to mind. I did enjoy watching the RS Spyder race but I'd much rather be somewhere in the country killing flies with my own windshield than ever sitting in front of the flatscreen.

I liked Indy Car around the time Nigel Mansell came from F1 to the states. There was a great 4 year period there. Now F1 is no longer a boat race, so it is kinds fun to watch.

F1
 
My favorite since I was a young boy has always been F1.I am glad Vettel won but I usually root for Hamilton.I wonder if his change to Mercedes next year is a mistake or a wise career move.I tried getting into Nascar but it does not seem to gather any passion from me.

papasmurf 11-26-2012 08:03 AM

Can't stand nascar, dirt track, and truck racing.
 
That being said, I love watching the ALMS, Koni challenge, Formula 1, and Rally racing but it seems of the three, rally racing probably gets the least amount of coverage. The best rally races are the ones where the cars are pure street cars (911 turbos, supra, vette, lancer, etc.) driven by amateurs with the necessary safety equipment and not the 500 hp hatch backs, though I do like watching those as well.

F1 There is just something about an engine turning 18,000 rpm. 3 second pit stops and some incredible carnage in the first turns of a race.
