I get up at 6AM on race day here in the states to watch the European races, and for the Asian races I stay up all night, until the un-godly hour of 4:30AM, to finish watching the race! Now thats a fan my friends! |

I stay up and watch all the races, no matter what time I have to work/wake up in the next morning. Plus I tape all the races, ad free and watch them again the next day, followed by entering the race and qually results on my F1 database on computer, after which I update the scores of the tipping comp I run with friends.

I have seen every race live since the early nineties and I would never think of missing one.
While IndyCar or Touring Cars may offer more in the way of all-out entertainment (and I watch them both), there's something special about F1. It's the only type of racing where I feel a tension before the start. |

Yeah, I'm with you on that last point there KB. I become a wobbling wreck in the weeks leading up to Melbourne for example. I love all motorsport, but I don't get the same sense of anticipation from, say, the weeks leading up to the opening IRL round.
But it's for that reason that I often feel more compelled to complain about F1 at times than other disciplines, because I expect more from it than anything else. Hence my over-reactions after Hungary last year! |

The start of a new season always exites me purely to see drivers in strange cars and new liveries. P.S Big up the Jenson Button for World champion. The name of my child relies on it following on from Michael, Michael Jnr and Michael III. |

Only 34 sleeps then you guys can get that tingely in your pants feeling again.
Have we ever had a season with close actual wheel banging racing for the championship?. |

I can’t wait. When school life is getting me down I will be able to say, “Hang in there Vicki, only x days until you can watch a Grand Prix.” And I’m not being sarcy, it means I won’t have to resort to watching figure skating cos all the racing is being quiet. Also, my Internet connection might be sorted so I will be able to post without the risk of being cut off like the last time I tried to post this. Four whole days without Ten-Tenths does funny things to a girl… So if these words reach you, I am alive and well although slightly deprived of forum browsing capabilities.

Actually, thinking about it, this off-season hasn't been too bad. It's went by faster than some.
Last off-season was absolutely unbearable as we sat waiting for the season billed by most as "most likely to be the greatest ever". |

And next off season, we'll have A1GP to watch through the winter, as opposed to nothing this time round.

True - although I view the F3 and WTCC races as being part of the traditional racing season and the race of champions as a fun event. It doesn't compare with top class single seaters regularly racing through November, December, January and February. |
