I've listed a few that are my favorites up top in the pole but i want you guys to voice your opinions. These articles and and this section will be devoted to the types or racing you like, so post up! if you dont see something that you like on the pole. lemme knwo what you like, and ill try and incorporate it in the article!

    I gotta be honest. Unless I'm actually driving (drifting, road course, auto-x, mtn. run, ect...) I find racing to be boring as hell.

    Very simple way to explain to you how i can sit for 24 hours (straight) and watch a car race. (My Le Mans 24 holiday i take every year)

    Racing is different than other sports in that the person watching nows what to be excited about. It's different for people but an F1 race is a good example. You might have 45 mins where "nothing" happens. But there is allot happening. Fuel Strategy's changing conditions. Drivers on different rubber. Etc.... All these add to the show.

    But watching racing really is for the select few. That's ball and stick sports are supreme for the majority.

    It's cool.

    I dunno man, I just can't sit there and get excited about watching cars racing each other. I mean don't get me wrong. If I go to Formula D, NASCAR at Talledega Super Speedway, Petite Le Mans, or something like that then I'll definitely get swept into the spectacle and enjoy myself. Without the spectacle though, I can't just sit there and get excited about it. Like when watching it on TV, it's as boring a baseball.

    True, the only other company that seems to be able to compete with them is Mercedes McClaren.

    Remember why the GT40 was created in the first place? Yeah cause Enzo didn't sell Italian greatness to an American car company.

    Its also said in Italy that when he was alive, "On Sunday Enzo was more important than the Pope."

    Oh and then there is F1 which they hold every record. They just scored their 200th win.

    oh and what car was Nuvalari driving in the German GP in the 1930's against Hitler's Silver arrows? A Scuderia Ferrari Alfa p3

    I know you dislike their street cars but to those of us that live everyday to watch racing, we know what the Prancing Horse represents.
