Big fan of Formula One because I appreciate the engineering of the cars and the skill of the drivers. I don't mind the others, I just have more of an affinity for F1.

I find F1 to be the most entertaining to watch.

ALMS is by far the best racing currently. So many mfrs, and very competitive racing.

I watch Nascar on a consistent basis
F1 when it's on at a normal hour
WRC has minimal tv coverage now
Went to the Indy 500 last year
Going to ALMS in May in Salt Lake City (which should be insane)

I like the ALMS, alot of diversity and technology. I like the WRC, I wish they had more manufacturers and television coverage in the US. I like the idea of F1, more than what they actually do. It is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsports but they outlaw alot of new technology in the name of cost cutting, but the savings are debateable. It is still one of my favorites though. I don't like oval racing very much, so I don't watch much of the IRL and NASCAR. I liked CART or ChampCar back when they had Alex Zanardi, 3 or 4 engine manufacturers, 2 tire suppliers, and 2 chassis. I hope the two series merge soon, it is hard to watch either one now. Other than some of the tracks they use I don't like anything about Grand-Am. I am the Crew Chief on a car for NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional Series, but watching on TV is no substitute for being there in person. Even I find it hard to watch on TV. A few I like that didn't make the list........I like both Speed GT and Touring, but there aren't enough races. British Touring Cars are cool but apparently Speed didn't pick up the coverage this year. Australian V8 Supercars, V8 noises mostly permanent road courses, and they aren't afraid to hit each other or drive in the rain. It is what I think NASCAR should be, or maybe Grand Am.

If I had to pick one, Australian V8 Supercars followed closely by what Formula 1 has become. Five years ago my choice would have been F1, thanks FIA.

I like the Speed World Challenge type stuff. Any road racing with production-based sports cars is cool to me. I saw Spec Miata on Speed the other day and really enjoyed watching that.

Next to that type of stuff, I enjoy the ALMS racing and then F1. I can't really get into circle track or drag strip stuff, but sometimes I'll watch NASCAR if it's the only thing on.

don't forget Speed World Challenge GT and Touring series!!!

I love them both but Formula 1 is my all time fave.

I also like Nascar Sprint Cup series, NHRA, ALMS, LMS and Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series, Moto GP and AMA Supercross.

It's a shame Speed Channel peppers all of the other series throughout NASCAR 24/7.
