What is the most interesting 4 wheel racing if F1 sucks?

I think it was learnincurve who posted it but blancpain GT series is pretty good. I've watched a couple of races and seeing 50 odd very expensive sports cars duke it out is kinda cool and the commentary is decent. Better than the F1 sky commentary anyway. All available on YouTube too. Give it a shot.

It really is pretty decent, it's not ooh aah exciting but it's got moments.

Anyone doubting motogp's dominance of racing, every point on offer in the moto3 race was in the leading group going over the line on the last lap.

Did Rossi intentionally play wing man for the laps he was in second?
That was one hell of a wreck.

I used to think this but now I realise you need at least one really heavy braking zone for the bikes/riders to show all their talents. Ergo assen is the superior layout.

It's interesting how close GP lap times are to Moto2 at PI - those skinnier tyres go a long way when you don't need to brake or accelerate hard.

I thought it was weird until I worked at McDonalds and everyone there was sick of the food so we'd trade leftover breakfast food for Domino's pizza, always pineapple and jalapeno, and it kicks rear end.

Also for those that didn't know, Bautista won't be in MotoGP next year. He's being sent to ride in WSBK for 2019 replacing Marco Melandri.

I didn't realise how tiny melandri was. I went to a restaurant on Phillip island after the Gp that had a bunch of rider leathers hanging up from various dudes. they had a simoncelli set, a Rossi set and a bunch of other MotoGP and superbike rider leathers on display. Melandri's set was easily the smallest. Dude is a fuckin house elf.

SIC was a giant by GP rider standards. Even Rossi is big and he's only like 5'11 I think.

They had heaps of others for contrast, I just named those two as some of the bigger names that people would recognise.

Have you heard of a 'Dani Pedrosa'? Cause he's shorter than Melandri by quite a bit.

Not that it matters too much, Marquez got pole, but was then given a 6 place grid penalty for irresponsible riding in an incident with Iannone of all people.

Wow unbelievable. More tricks from MM. This time he applied steady pressure and forced a mistake. Totally his fault that Rossi crashed, hope the FIA do the right thing and ban him.

Not sure I remember him ever reacting so much, or at least it's pretty rare.

I was cheering for MM this round, was fun to see him come up through the grid. Wish JL would come back.
