    So I'm up in the middle of the night watching F1 Debreif and I decided I wanted to make a list of the race series I liked in decending order of likeness. So my favorite race series is at the top and the biggest waste of TV time (if they even show it on TV:unamused:) is at the bottom. Here goes.
    1)Formula 1
    2)WRC
    3)American LeMans
    4)Rolex
    5)GP2
    6)Speed Touring
    7)Other Touring
    8)Motorcycle Racing
    9)Demolition Derby Racing (figure 8, cars pulling trailers, cars pushing other cars, etc.)
    10)Dirt Track Racing
    11)Drag Racing
    12)Monster Trucks
    13)Cycling (Tour de France type of thing)
    14)Small Circle Track
    15)Nascar

    I feel like I am missing a few but I can't think right now. The top few and the bottom few are set as I have given them some thought.:)

    I did notice a lack of F1 discussion on this forum. With Hamilton regaining his rightful lead in the championship things are going right. Massa's pit accident is just God making up for that bogus penalty on Hamilton in Spain.

    He is young and one of the best drivers in the world. He couldn't be as good as he is if he wasn't a huge prick, which he is. I like him despite his attitude because he can drive like the wind and he is young enougn to grow out of it.

    Young and impetuous, he will learn. I still don't know why the pit exit would be closed when the enterance is open. I say fail for the FIA on many levels this year. Lewis still has a seven point lead in the championship despite being punted by Massa.

    Pit lane is closed when the safety car is deployed until all the cars are bunched up then the entrance opens. This came into play in the Singapore GP. This is the second time in recent years that the exit was opened "late". The field was bunched together and past the exit before the incident so safety shouldn't be the reason. Mclaren's poor pit position (Pit position is determined by last years manufacturer's points where Mclaren was disqualified for "cheating") did not allow Hamilton to see the stopped cars until it was too late.

    did you seriously just put cheated in quotes? like you don't believe mclaren was cheating?

    hahahahahahahahaha

    pit lane exit was red because the race director decided it should be. your boy fucked up and didn't pay attention and ran his car into the back of the ferrari. why are you arguing this? it makes you look dense and like a huge mclaren fanboy

    I'm not dense or a fanboy so I will concede people make mistakes. In a few races we will see who is on top. If Mclaren has another race like this last one Ferrari can and should win both the drivers and manufactures championship.
