Did anyone watch A1 racing, the new F1, without all the idiotic rules.

Brazil won both the Sprint Race and the 30 odd lap Full Race..

Personally, i found it poorly produced, and badly run. However this will be ironed out as the season really goes on and alot of that goes down to sky sports. The racing? much prefer the GP2 series the drivers are better. Once they get onto better tracks we will see the true performance of the cars. Piquet jr looks great though, going to be a great driver one day.

I don't think its on TV in the states. Maybe after F-1 and NASCAR season is over, itl be on SPEED.

Speaking of Speed, how did Scott do?

Boy he has the talent of Phil Hill, but the luck of Michael Andretti.

less electronics = fun and cool crashes, and the possibility to get from 25th to 10th in one race (Verstappen after the other guy wrecked the dutch car)

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

The Nascar season actually ends?!? All I ever see on Speed is Nascar and rednecks discussing Nascar.

NASCAR would be cool if it wasn't cool.

Worst NASCAR redneaks:
Jimmy Spencer
Michael Waltrip
Dale Earnhart

all horrible, stupid people.

I really prefer Hillbillies, A.K.A. "Sons of the Soil"

germany i believe. Nothing wrong with oval racing. Often provides more excitement than track. But more an open wheel fan on ovals.
