I used to watch CART and F1 pretty religiously. F1 has become a snooze fest if the golden era (Senna/Prost/Mansell/Piquet) is the standard. The whole DRS gimmick is a ridiculous attempt to make up for the disastrous transition of the sport from mechanical grip to aero grip. Most of the current crop came up without really learning overtaking the way it was mandatory in previous eras. And the dull racing shows it more with each year. The one good thing is that there are more teams winnings races lately but that doesn't mean the races are any less boring. I root for Hamilton and Kimi.
Indy car is also really on the downslope. It was really great in the late 90's, early 2000's when Castroneves, Franchitti, Montoya, DaMatta, Tracy were all duking it out. There was some great wheel-nut to wheel-nut racing. But the series has just not held up well over years.
I always thought Bernie should just buy it and set up as farm system for guys coming into F1 as well as guys involuntarily exiting. No real favorite driver although I like to see Simona debunk the myth that women can't drive open wheel on street courses.
ALMS is probably my favorite to watch. Having attended a few of their street races its by far the most exciting.
I like NASCAR but the flagrant dumping/spinning of cars without any consequences by race officials really makes me think I'm watching WWF wrestling.
