The coolest has to be CORR, it's the only full size racing that's anything like 1/10th off road.

twisty 12-08-2008 08:18 PM

Sadly Deathrace 2000 never caught on,that would of been the one ;)


So
Moto GP,
Any rallying or Rallycross
and then trials on Motor bikes not those nasty things with pedals :p
or those four legged thingys that bite and throw you off.

:D

Motorcross/Supercross.

Rallycross is one of my favourite forms of motorsport even though it has a pretty small following here in Ireland and i've only seen them a couple of times.

Following that would be rallying.

josh_smaxx 12-08-2008 10:30 PM

Sorry but its gonna have to be those mental Icelandic hill climbers for pure cool factor, those things are proper mental :thumbsup: But my favourite spectator sport is probably rallying.

Supercross
Motocross
rallycross (notice a theme here...)

all off-road, all close RACING.

WRC is pretty ace, but there is no actual racing, other than the side-by-side SS stages, I like watching them.

can't deny MotoGP is dialled, Rossi Vs whoever is always great - no bumps or jumps though...

I do still like F1 - ultra technical pinicle of development

LeMans - still super technical, but with added element of endurance

NASCAR - Don't shoot me - THE most tactical racing around, superspeedways are mega fast and excitingly close, the short ovals are hectic traffic battles

Class1 Offshore Powerboat - its like an ever changing off-road race track, amazing power over the water!

Amazing!

as it turns out, I like pretty much every kind of racing... :woot:

I was waiting for you to say extreme cross dressing Chris.

I do like all forms of motorsports, i like watching the indycars on the street circuits.


I also like watching bull riding :thumbsup: its funny because the fellas have one massive arm and one normal one :woot:

millzy 13-08-2008 10:16 AM

how can you say NASCAR is tactical chris- they can work out when the car is going to run out of fule half the time ...and the commontators are thick as hell

saying that i watch it every week at 1am on channel 5

thats the thing, they are pushing the limit of whats possible, if they were to pit at the wrong time the race is screwed for them anyway, they might as well push on, run in the draft on less throttle and see if they can make it to the next caution or pistop window.

its not just about driving balls out for 500 laps, have to look after the tires, watch fuel mileage, keep out of trouble, keep track position.

millzy 13-08-2008 10:57 AM

did you see the race last year when Jeff Gordons team knew thewas a chance the race would be called off due to rain so they left him out on crap tyres and a splash of fule while the pack came in for fresh rubber for the last time - pushing jeff to the lead and then just as they said it would it rained and he won

I'd agree with that, although unless it's a road course i tend not to watch it.

bigred5765 13-08-2008 11:25 AM

after watching Chris's video i spent 5 Min's waiting for crochet and tubs to jump out

c0sie 13-08-2008 12:13 PM

SuperMoto...they have that on Eurosport sometimes. Tis brilliant! But the commentator is annoying...kinda like that Aussie tit on WSB (Eurosport)

ashleyb4 13-08-2008 12:24 PM
