    What racing series do you regularly follow? Here are mine, in rough order of preference:

    1. GP2 - I watch virtually every race televised on Speed. Young talent, full of aggressive moves and excitement.

    2. F1 - Can be somewhat boring at times but incredible technology and the world's best drivers. Try to get to a few each year.

    3. GP Masters - I pay to watch the races on-line. Great to see these older F1 drivers fighting it out. The rain race today at Silverstone was especially fun!

    4. ALMS/Grand Am/Le Mans - Watch some of the races and occasionally attend, especially Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans.

    5. Indycars - Usually Indy 500 on TV only.

    Also watch an occasional A1GP/Atlantic/F3 race.

    I watch every F1 race live. I watch the end of the IRL races, incredible racing.

    I may watch the start of a Champ car race, but then I lose interest really fast. And I watch the first 50+ laps, and the last 50 laps of most every NASCAR superspeedway event.

    Pretty much anything on wheels expect IRL. Not too much NASCAR either but I will watch some NASCAR on the road courses and in the F1 off season.

    Same for me

    1. Speed World Challenge. The adjustements are getting annoying though.

    2. F1 - Can be somewhat boring at times but incredible technology and the world's best drivers.

    4. ALMS/Grand Am - Watch some of the races and attend the Portland ALMS race, but they might not come back next year. I like ALMS a lot more.

    5. No IRL except for the Indy 500 and the road races (they need more though)

    6. Champ Car (excited about the new Panoz DP01)

    7. NASCAR Daytona 500, road races, and a few others (don't like the spec "Car of Tomorrow" crap)

    I watch F1 religiously. See GP2 sometimes, and ALMS sometimes too.

    I love the commentators from Speed during F1. Those guys are great! Hillarious sometimes.

    Despite the early starting times, it's funny how the F1 races have always conveniently fit into my lifestyle. In the old days, we would stay up to watch the races. Now, married w/a kid, I'm already up to watch them:)

    I have seen every single F1 race since 1987, and will continue to watch.

    Only this year have I gotten into MotoGP, and am absolutely loving it!

    I used to watch CART, however once the IRL was formed and many of the top teams jumped ship to the all-oval series, I lost interest. Pity.
     
  16. Grand-am Cup series and Rolex series, of course!

    Never,never,never watch left turn only racing of any kind. Ricky Bobby, Bobby Steve, Chuck Robby, Joey Buddy, and Wally Walmart, have the IQ of a used Pirelli tire. They will suck you in and you will end up drinking coors light!!
    Step away from the TV!!!!!!!!!!

    Monster trucks (seriously)

    I won't watch Champcar, and I catch some ALMS from time to time on SpeedTV. I used to watch some WRC, but it's not on TV anymore.

    I am suprised that no one here follows the NHRA?

    I find it enjoyable to watch, but then again I I'll watch anything on 4 wheels.

    Can't say I follow it, but if I see Top Fuel while flipping through the channels I definitely stop and watch. They're insane.

    F1 - watch every race and sometimes watch it multiple times if it is an exciting race - e.g. Imola 05 and 06, Hungary 06. I watch every minute of the race and frequently quick rewind back and forth if there is a cool overtaking move or something (annoying huh?)

    GP2, MotoGP, ALMS, Champcar, Speed World Challenge - I watch almost every race but here I fast forward thru all the boring parts. Basically watch the start, finish and overtaking moments and incidents.

    Really long endurance races - Le Mans 24, Daytona - watch the beginning and ending sessions only.

    Nascar - only watch the road courses

    Indy 500 - Watch very rarely - pretty much the last 50 laps of the Indy 500. The first 150 laps are sort of pointless - you cant figure out who is going to win anyway as it is all dependent on what happens in the last 10 laps. Great passing though - pretty exciting stuff :)

    Historic racing - love it - Goodwood Revival/Monterey Historics - fantastic stuff - love to see the old beauties strutting their stuff.
