"What planet were you watching F-1 on?"

The races are parades, usually decided by qualifying. Whomever exits turn one or two with the lead is almost always guaranteed to lead the whole race & take the win. What part of what i just said is inaccurate?

So this was more of LeMans than I've seen before. It was so cool to see so much of the coverage focussing on the GT class, it was so entertaining.

Being a race fan to the core, if Le Mans had been on where I could easily watch it I would have, in bits and pieces even though I don't know the cars or drivers.

F1 - is it mostly a (high speed) parade, yes. But, they are incredible racing machines, I'm a Lewis Hamilton fan, and the tracks are amazing. The fan loyalty is like what NASCAR used to be on steroids. Reminds me of World Cup Soccer. I'm glad ESPN 2 now broadcasts it and if I know a race is on I watch.
