    Racing is life, anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

    Is it side car?
    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    Yes, I think itīs side car, but I thought this series wouldnīt exists anymore, īcos since the beginning of the 90īs, when there were many videos with incidents with side cars ( series of videos called HAVOC), I didnīt hear about side cars...

    I have many preferences, but the order is not important, īcos I love all of them:
    Rally (any kind of) like WRC
    Formula 1
    CART
    Touring Cars like DTM
    Stock Cars like brazilian stock car and Nascar

    I like...

    F1 has to be my fav even though I never get to see it cause I don't get speed channel.

    Then I like CART, Nascar, and American Le Mans.

    WRC, NHRA, and IRL are cool too.

    I think I would like Moto GP, but I've never seen it because of a certain channel which has already been mentioned.

    Craftsman Truck series is decent too if there is nothing else on.
    Most wanted cars:

    Ford GT, Aston Martin DB9, Nissan Skyline R-34 V-Spec II, 2004 SVT Cobra Mustang, VW Golf R32, TVR Cerbera 4.5, Ford Focus RS, Aston Martin Vanquish S

    Still waiting.....Shelby Cobra, Shelby GR1, 2006 Ford Lightning, Next generation SVT Mustang Cobra 2006? Mazda Speed RX8

    Put up with crisis? not a fan? though i fully agree it isnt as good as the first series of manufatuers cars making them makes better road going cars. And i still think there was no better catigory then Group C. Group A sucked but that was because it favord small turboed buzz boxes rather then v8s. I think that the nations cup is a good race,v8super cars,konica seris v8s,Historics,targa tasmania and New zeland, super sedan and those little aussie heros class and more .The new zeland and south african touring cars used to rock when we got them on tv but i havent seen them in years

    I wasnt serious. I love it. How could you not love watching rwd V8 sedans beat each other up. Sound great, competative. And they invoke a fierce brand loyalty. You can drive somthing that vaguely resembles it on the road, appearance wise at least. Not having as much fun this year of course.

    I think ALMS is best because there are three different car types and long distance races.
    Also the FIA GT series.
    I think touring cars and sport wagon races are better than formel races. you can see the (same) cars on street(like DTM), thats cool.
    CART is also good.and the moto gp races are full of action.

    I wonder that you canīt see any car races like in the moto gp any more. probably the cars are developt to much, and the are too near to the limit.

    out of all the race series in the world, nascar would have to be one of the most boring to compete in. just goin around and around in circles endlessly for more than half the weekends every year, surely people would get sick of that. at least competitions like F1 and most other stock car series actually race on tracks, not circuits

    I dont know about that i have to agree with you I dont excatly see why so many people view it so highly. But also on that note moswt of the drivers love it and a lot of our drivers (in australia) either want to race it or have at some stage in their life (bradly Jones raced there,Steven Jhonson wants to go,John Falk has raced there etc etc.) And also i think that the older nacar anything bofore the 80s were top races especially in the 60s
