I watch F1 but no US team makes it a hard sell here and there is no race in the US in 2011; http://formula-one.speedtv.com/f1/schedule/
Going to Montreal in June for the race!

It used to be fairly big here many years ago along with Indy PPG Carts , but Penske ruined it wanting to split that series up , and now its called the IRL and ruined that series for the USA fans IMO . So I never watch it .
NASCAR bores me to tears , I would rather watch paint dry
Much rather watch road racing of some sort .
Shows how much I watch the seriesIt is no longer the IRL. Should be much improved in 2012 with new chassis and engines.
Go Mark Webber! Woulda had the championship last year if his idiot "teamate" didn't wreck him twice =(
Has anyone seen any of the new car designs? I've only caught a look at the Ferrari testing and they appear to have a really ugly shark fin type attatchment on the top just behind the drivers head
Big fan of F1. But it was better in the 80's and 90's. Senna, Prost, Mansell, Schu.
Are they still thinking of bring F1 to Austin, Texas?
Old timer, lol.
I wasn't into F1 in the so called "glory days", and I actually think this latest season of F1 was the best in my memory. Could have went 3 or 4 different ways right till the last race.
Big Alonso fan, by the way.
Yep! Someone posted a link earlier in the thread about it actually. Very neat to see another F1 track in North America... except for when they axe Montreal for Austin.
I wish they'd bring back Caesar's track in Vegas. That one looks hilarious!
There was talk a couple of years back of doing it right on the strip. How awesome would that be!? I saw the proposed layout it was gonna split the strip into two long straightaways with a couple back roads sprinkled in. In the end they decided it was unfeasable to shut down the strip for a day, but the city of San Jose used to do it. They would shut down their entire downtown area.
Has anyone seen Robert Kubica's rally wreck ? It was very violent , he hit a guard rail and it went clean through the car and he almost severed his hand , multiple arm, and shoulder fractures , I think leg fractures too , took an hour to get him out of the car , a 7 hour surgery to reattach his hand , with many more surgeries to come , they say he should recover but will take over a year .
Strangely, I searched for "St. Louis Golf" and this thread was near the top. Being a big F1 fan, I read all 5 pages. Due to the time differences, I DVR the races and watch them later on Sundays. I think the constant rule changes are absolutely brutal on the teams, and just plain confusing to the fans. But, I've been watching for almost 10 years, and that's just the way it is with the FIA. This past year, though strange with the giant cars, was exciting, and there were 3 or 4 guys in the championship hunt to the last race! Even though two of my favorites are Alonso and Button (Massa too, since I've met his Uncle, Marcelo), I was really stoked when Vettel won the whole thing. He's a fantastic driver, and I'm looking forward to watching him this year.
OH no! This is terrible news! Kubica is also a talented young driver. Wow, I hope his recovery process goes as easy as possible.
Bahrain race has been cancelled.
F1 is nothing but politics, this year, they've made it so you CANNOT refuel at all. How crazy is that?!?! And Michael Schumacher is back. Usually the racers who are in pole position win the race. Love that sound though...
NASCAR is boring, they just drive around in an oval, whoopie doo. Question, why can't they make right turns and go in the opposite direction for a change? We usually get tickets to see NASCAR in Fontana every year...We had bottom seats near the fence, those seats stink and you get pelted with rubber tire pieces, not fun!! Tis ok...FYI Louis Hamilton's GF is Nicole from Pussycat Dolls who also won Dancing with the Stars. He was on Top Gear a while back he's a cool guy :good: My least fav. driver is Fernando Alonso...him and Louis Hamilton had issues back when they were teammates.
Isn't that a prerequisite being from NFM?JK, I watch F1 whenever I can, I will pretty much watch any auto racing.
