I love F1, I don't lose one race, I liked the new rules this race was very good unfortunately Brazilians were unlucky in this first race. It seems this season will be very good last one was very boring, no action at all.

I'm an avid F1 fan. I miss the excitement of Murray Walker, but he was making alot of mistakes.Guess he's geting a little old. I also miss the excitement of when Schumacher was in the second best car, while his rival was in the best car. This made for even competition. Now that Schuy is in the best car, i get rather bored of seeing him win so much. I'm Canadian, so you can imagine the excitement when Villeneuve and Schumacher went head to head for the championship in 97. Ahh, those were the days. Roll Eyes

Over here in America, NASCAR is huge!!! You don't have to be a so called "Redneck" to love Auto Racing! It has the most spectators that attend a sporting event with the most money, companies, fans and people involved!!! Some would like to say football or even baseball is bigger, (you would think) but it really isn't. Some people don't consider it a sport, those people really don't know much about Auto racing!!!
I go to 2 of the Nascar races every year. My favorite is down in Dover Deleware at "The Monster Mile". 1 mile of oval track, 35 degree banked turns, 165 mph on the straight-a-ways, 130 mph in the turns, all packed into one mile!! It is pretty exciting. Dover Air Force Base is close to the track. Before every race here in America, The United States Air Force always does a "Fly-By". Incredible to see and hear these jets scream by. The entire place shakes. You can almost feel the heat from the exhaust of the jets.
The "Super Speedways" as they are known like Talladega and Daytona is "white knuckle racing" at its best. Full throttle, Onstant 200mph of pure sheet metal, Cars 3 wide. One slip up and its all over.
The 2003 season just started Feb 16th. There is a race every Sunday all the way to October. The teams and drivers are at a different track each weekend until they visit all on the curcuit. Then they go back to each track for the other half of the season. Each track is visited twice. It is GREAT!!! Chances are, if you like to fly, somehow, someway, you get a rush of adreneline from fast cars!!
Unfortunatley, We lost one of Nascars most respected drivers, Dale Earnhardt, 2 years ago. He was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500. RIP #3 "THE INTIMINATOR" as he was known .

Check out some Nascar pictures for youself:

i didn't watch the races last year, it was just boring. but with the new rules and without the "launch control" ,it's going to be interesting again.

p.s: Schumacher sucks, Heinz-Harald Frentzen for world champion!!!!!

Frankly i don't watch the national F1. I love watching the Grand Prix, the one with Shumacher. I also don't like shumacher winning all the time, it starts to get boring. Thus, i get excited when someone is on his tail. Wether it is the usual ones like Coulthard, Hakkinnen, Montoya or i think Fretzen i like the excitement.

Unfortunately i missed the race yesterday. I think it was yesterday
