Eh, I'm too old to care now and don't live on the bleeding edge of the thread.

It's way better when they're on dirt. I really hadn't paid the series much attention at this point, but how can you not love this?

Watching those huge V8's pile on the power through those sweeping corners is a thing of beauty

This is way more fun to watch than F1, for me F1 is half driver/team drama and hours of engineering to gain hundredths of a second on the track. Lower formula stuff and off-road is just more fun.

Also, the RC version of these short course trucks are way fun (but don't buy Traxxas trucks, buy HPI :P)

I feel that F1 needs to go the way of MotoGP. There are just too many seeder series for F1, it's very hard to find rookies and follow them as they step up through series. It's great in MotoGP to follow riders from Moto3 all the way to MotoGP. Might also reduce the number of pay drivers and allow more talent to shine.

Yup, for sure! Definitely agree with this.

At least it's not as extreme as the TV rights for Premiere League football - £10mil PER GAME going to the Football Association, I have no idea how the broadcasters will even make money at that price. And the FA has the same problems with lower league teams that FOM does with distributing money to lower teams, but it's multiplied by dozens (hundreds?) of small teams.

Really digging that Ferrari concept. It's pretty strange when series like Indy car and Formula E have more aerodynamic-looking cars than Formula 1. F1 should be about the fastest ridiculous-looking, racing cars, not dicknoses and vanity panels.

Say what you want about Vettel's helmet changes, but that also means that if this rule had been in place previously, Jenson wouldn't have been able to have a tribute to his dad and all the other drivers wouldn't be able to have a new one-off helmet design for their home GP.

It wouldn't be that hard, the camera would be on him for at least half the race so you wouldn't forget it's him.
