So I spotted a few that interest me and / or I was going to mention, suppose i'll quote them and highlight them in bold here:
- Formula One would be better off sticking to the traditional tracks until Tilke knows how to build a new track with a better success rate. Sepang and Istanbul do not make up for the other crap tracks. I'd rather see a 12 race championship with a concentration of good tracks than a 20 race championship with lots of crap, filler tracks.
Yes yes yes. Cut's happen until either A
Bernie releases the teams are out of money and even then they will B
Be ignored or C
Bernie would cut the older tracks first.
- The GT3 class will fail within 10 years without major regulation changes.
100% agreed, the costs are spiraling out of control.
- DP are the best looking Prototypes right now and I will surely miss them
- National Championships should only have 1 - 5 Manufacturers
- The Driver Championship barely matters in Sportscar Racing
- The naming of IndyCar and SportsCar is stupid
- The Monaco GP should be canned
- Senna is overrated
- 2000s GT1 needs to come back
- LMP2 was terrible to begin with, and was a cluster:censored:
- Silverstone is a horrible race track
-I wouldn't even call a DP a prototype. It's more like a stock car with a GT aero kit.
-Makes represented or actual involvement?
-Whats stupid about Indycar and Sportscars, any more so than "Formula 1" or "Grand Touring?"
-Monaco? Why?
-Agreed, Senna is held in legend circles more because he died.
-You got it, its pretty much GT3 now.
-LMP2 was terrible but that's because no-one could build a car properly. LMP675 was always an attrition race.
-Silverstone in it's new layout is hideous.
Alonso is/was on a different level to every other driver on the F1 grid, I don't think anyone was close to him in terms of skill.
Could not agree more. Years ago I disliked Alonso with his attitude but I like the way he approaches things now and he's got a much more mature head than he used to have. He's also to me the best pure skill driver, he'd be winning races in a Red Bull or Ferrari this year I think.
- WTCC isn't all that great.
- WRC shouldn't go back to Group B cars.
~Agreed. To me WTCC is a Grade #1 snoozefest.
~Group B? How many fatalities do you want? Also the new WRC cars next year are
faster than Group B....
- Diesel cars should be banned from motorsports.
-Why?
-F1 tracks are almost all entirely garbage.
-Tracks designed with F1 in mind are equally terrible.
100% agreed.
-Suzuka is terrible.
-HRT produced some of the best liveries of modern times in F1.
-Neal, Plato and all the rest of the BTCC drivers need to be penalised more for their childish bumping and track limits abuse that filters into club racing and ruins it for everyone there who are then penalised harshly for moves they've seen on TV being called "great racing".
And finally - I support Lewis Hamilton on track, but away from the circuit he is a complete and utter 🤬
-Finally someone who agrees with me that Suzuka is over-hyped.
-
"This could be YOU!" Awesome livery.
-10 years ago I would have agreed totally with you on the BTCC, looking back through my season reviews (started 1998, up to 2009 now) I was aghast at some of the punting taking place. Nowadays I'd say it's pretty much spot-on. There's contact, there's rubbing, but I haven't seen anything in last few years that has really made me go "this is totally stupid". Neal still likes to get involved in a dust up or two but Plato has totally mellowed... which brings me to another point i'll mention below.
-I liked Lewis in his McLaren days, the whinging primadonna that drives now I don't care for especially off track.
V8 Supercars or whatever it's called today is a slog to watch, and while they can race closer and cleaner than nearly every other series, this is rarely displayed because they're all on entirely different tyre/fuel strategies and are never racing together in an equal setup at the same time, aside from the very start and end of the race. Passes are devalued when Driver A is driving around Driver B running his own race.
BTCC appears to be in a healthy position but driving standards are plummeting faster than lemmings off a cliff, all over the field. The series that should be doing so well is cringeworthy and laughable now the majority of the time.
Every LMP2 car on every grid is a waste of tarmac.
Again, Daytona Prototypes are best prototypes.
-V8s can produce decent racing but are dying, partly through economics and mis-management.
-Laughable? Where?
-EVERY LMP2? You mean the class that is now the most popular car class for sportscars
worldwide?
-Except they are not prototypes.
And onto mine:
~1: Michael Schumacher isn't as famous as he could be. Why? Because unlike Senna he isn't dead. People gain a certain image and legend about them after death, and with zero disrespect intended towards anyone, I hear more things said about a guy who lets face it, just pedalled around back of the grid in a terrible car (Bianchi) than someone who's a 7 time world champion (with quite a chequered history on track as well, very Senna-like).
~2: BTCC Bias. @MatskiMonk @Jimlaad43 I alluded to this earlier. When Plato or Neal now just touch a car or nudge someone the internet explodes with "DIRTY PLATO / NEAL". When the exact same move is pulled by Aron Smith, Josh Cook, Ash Sutton or anyone else it's "GREAT RACING". I say this however as 2016 has been for my opinion, cleaner than 2015.
~3: DTM are not touring cars.
~4: WRC needs to go to a RWD class for road cars.
~5: Aside from GT(E)LM class, the IMSA Series is a joke.
~6: GWC finishes in NASCAR were a good idea.
