What racing series do you follow?

Just that what racing series do you invest time into and actually follow.

Racing is Awesome

I am an avid NASCAR fan(GO TONY!!!! GET IT BACK IN THE HUNT), but I enjoy all forms of racing. Would love to see an F1 race before I leave Europe.... Le mans etc... Will be stopping in Modena on our way back from Germany. Thanks for asking.

Imho you're missing one series, that provides terrific entertainment: the Australian Supercars. Their "close combat" is equal to that in the WTCC, but the cars have a lot more power (and even though the cars look sort of like the Nascar stagecoaches with wings, they are actually no less high-tech machines, than the WTCC cars are). And... the tracks (i.e. Mount Panorama) rock!

I watch (in the order of importance to me) WRC, WTCC, European Rallyecross, Aussi Supercars, F1, LM/24h/LMS/ALMS/GT3.

This poll doesn't take into effect the fact that I watch and follow a lot of these, so it will probably come off as biased. Also, I watch ALMS as a whole, I don't split it up in to GT/ LMP...

Lms is Le mans series and includes alms and European Le mans.

It's also a multiple choice poll

Pick as many as you want

I wasn't aware that I could pick more than one, but I guess I follow F1 more closely than any other series. Even though I have never gone to a race, (until F1 Austin) yet I go to Petit La Mans just about every year...

Probably not too different when you consider the fact that BMW has no part in F1.
