What other classes do V8 fans like to watch.

As for me, i'm starting to get pretty interested in F3. Great little cars.
Also like GTP Performance and Brutes.

I saw some coverage of the Brute round from Phillip Island. Sensational racing. More passing moves in 1 race than I saw in half the V8 supercar series.

Quite a menu...
All open wheelers, in order; Champ Cars, F1, and then the local F3, FH and FF

Then the likes of the Brutes and Nations Cup. Im a bit, just a bit of a Rally fan (World and Oz)and Im also a Bike head as well 500cc MotoGP.

Why dont some of the drivers and team members contribute to this... see what tou guys are interested in, Jason Bright once said that if it was possible he'd love to do both the Australian Drivers FH Championship and V8's, Mark, Garth, what are your takes on this???

Anything where there is close exciting racing with passing! That rules out V8s.

And definitely rallying, both tarmac and dirt.

I'd even watch races at the local indoor carts if was entertaining. I think I should get out more....

Perhaps if you joined in and answered a few of them instead of smart a... remarks you might learn something about what other fans like and perhaps dislike.
But then again i don t really care if you do or don t.

I too watch the bikes, loved the Superbikes last year. Don't know how superbikes will be this year as i guess the Moto GP class will be pretty strong as all the manufacturers are racing there this year.

Anything and everything, really. In no real order, I watch F1, CART, MotoGP, Superbikes, V8 Brutes, FFord, FVee, HQ's, Historic Touring Cars, ALMS, Sprintcars, Drag Racing - since I'm in the middle of nowhere regarding race circuits, I'll watch anything that's televised.

I watch anything and everything motorsport related, love it all, even if i don't really like the way some of it is going at the moment(wonder which class i'm talking about?).

Favourites, i dunno, locally i'd say at the moment;

- Procar (i like all their classes)
- Sports Sedans
- Formula Ford

Internationally i'd say;

- ETC
- Superbikes
- IRL Indycar
- WRC

i could on and on for both.

If its got wheels and a motor....

It would probably be easier to say what forms of motor sport I don't like.

And thats easy..

Drag racing, that can't do anything quicker then 10's
Like watching paint dry...

Deadset everything (shoot, who else is dumb enough to turn up to a hillclimb on a weekend when nothing is running?). F1 doesn't do anything for me, but I always watch the first lap, or if it is a race that usually throws a wobbly (Monaco, Canada etc) I'll tape it.

I even think regularity trials have their moments
