Motorsports minus F1

Bold Tone

As a kid, rallying impressed me more than any other motorsport.
The driving on the edge, the speed, stupidity of the spectators and above all the most dangerous of all.
The legendary Group B.

The future.

Formula E is a class of motorsport that uses only electric-powered cars. The series was conceived in 2011, and the inaugural championship commenced in Beijing in September 2014.

Are you on autosports forum by any chance tone

Nah. I spend all my forum time here.
I do try and watch the events live and read articles but I'm put off engaging with the type of people who are always prominent in every comment section. I understand fan support but I am not interested in one-eyed support that doesn't allow for open discussion.
BTW, congratulations to Marquez on winning MotoGP 2019 with a last-lap overtake and four races still to go.

I used to follow it a bit more closely years ago but no longer have time and only catch the occasional headline.

Marquez is just phenomenal. He is even beyond the Messi of Motocycles, simply the best ever in the history of it.

As a Valentino Rossi fan, I have a hard time appreciating but credit where it's due and his winning is not as sore as Lorenzo's were.

I haven't followed WRC for years and a quick look at the sanitised coverage shows why interest is dead.

Far cry from the speed and danger of the front view of Colin McCrash or the one I prefer Colin "IF IN DOUBT FLAT OUT" McRae

Panizzi, the tarmac specialist.

Grönholm, the funniest ever.
