Message: [QUOTE="Carbon_6, post: 12083128, member: 289534"] [B]BEST[/B] [LIST] [*]Japanese MotoGP - Andrea Dovizioso vs. Marc Marquez in the pouring rain. [*]Marquez's "crash" during the Valencia MotoGP - a defiance of physics and logic in equal measure. [*]24 Hours of Le Mans. Nuff said. [*]Takuma Sato's debut win at the Indy 500. [*]Mercedes seeing competition not solely within their inner circle in F1. [*]M-Sport earning its first ever manufacturers' crown in a decade, and first without works Ford involvement. [*]KTM's MotoGP and, to a great extent, Moto2 programs. [/LIST] [B]WORST[/B] [LIST] [*]The passing of John Surtees, Timo Mäkinen, Nicky Hayden and Angel Nieto. RIP fellas. [*]Porsche following Audi out of LMP1. [*]NASCAR's new format. [*]The McLaren/Honda saga. [*]Renault's F1 reliability. [*]F1 US GP pre-race build up. Cheesy, artificial and nauseating. [/LIST] [B]INDIFFERENT[/B] [LIST] [*]2017 F1 regulations - arguably the best looking grid for some time, but nowhere near enough was done to address issues that have been overlooked time and time again. [*]Alonso's unofficial quest for the "Triple Crown". I admire his ambition (proved himself very well at Indy), but I can't shake the feeling it is simply an exercise of showing the world he still has "it", brought on because of McLaren/Honda's on track performance. [*]Unprecedented migration of brands committing to Formula E. All aboard the hype train. [/LIST] [B]2017 THOUGHTS[/B] [LIST] [*]LMP1-H may well have developed itself to the point of extinction with no way back. [*]Calibre of riding in Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP arguably the best it has ever been. [*]Great admiration for Mercedes in successfully defending its crown across a major change of F1 chassis regulations. [*]The continuing rise of TCR, GT3 and GT4 proving that sportscar racing has a great future. [/LIST] [B]LOOKING FORWARD[/B] [LIST] [*]Where can MotoGP go after a brilliant 2017? [*]What impact will the halo have on F1 in real world conditions? [*]What will become of LMP1? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
