KC native · 12:18 AM

Everyone else gets an official thread, so I want one too.

I've seen several people make mentions of F1 on here. So, I'm giving us a thread. No more Speed bs coverage. NBC looks like they are taking it serious and will have some good coverage.

With DVRs now, it's no longer a pain in the ass to watch the races. So watch them and discuss

And if you don't watch F1. You suck. Best racing on the planet.

That's wrong. There are some GPs that are scheduled consecutive Sundays, some are two Sundays apart, and some up to three weeks between.

For example, the British GP isn't until June 30.

Yeah I know.

I do like the Melbourne race however.

You're missing great races if that's your starting point. Spain, for example, is awesome.

**Donger** · 06-10-2013, 06:54 PM

Best circuit (track for you mouth breathers)?

Spa.

**Donger** · 06-10-2013, 06:55 PM

Eau Rouge...

Honest question: Saturday night I caught a glimpse of not Nascar cars on a circle race track in Dallas that I thought was interesting. I then tried to watch the Montreal thing yesterday but could not keep interest. What is the difference in the two that I watched?

I've never seen a Nascar race either, so I guess I am just confused in general. Perhaps I should Google it instead.

I'm trying to talk the wife into having a date weekend for the US GP this year. You went last year, yes?

F1 is a very different beast. Honestly, if my Dad hadn't gotten me up at the crack of ****ing dawn to watch when I was a boy, I probably wouldn't watch now. It's an acquired taste to be sure. It is the epitome of motorsport, however, at least from a ME standpoint.
