What is your favorite type of racing?

[Mark Ratzenbacher]

I voted for Endurance racing.
Bathurst, LeMans, the WEC-series. Multiclass racing is just a cool thing to watch and enjoy.

For the quick-fix its definitely Moto2,3 & GP for me. Real exciting racing.

Who cares about tv-ratings on a website for racing-enthusiasts ? I can understand that "normal" people are only aware of motorsport that is marketed and advertised, but then these people buy the latest non-aging skincare cream as well. Real interest and enthusiasm for the sport lets us celebrate even the smallest of hillbilly ridge runner race-events.

Of the options listed, I prefer watching Touring Cars for sure. Open wheel cars have no soul. Endurance racing is just hypermiling with commentators and I refuse to give GT a chance because it's ruining sim racing.

Historic Touring Cars

i have no tv

Touring cars, for the same reasons Paul mentioned. Door to door racing, accessibility, more about the drivers than the cars, just all round pure racing goodness, as it should be.

For the best actual racing and not glorified pitstops or what tyre compound is going to be used I would vote for the SCCA Runoffs. Real people, real cars and REAL racing. This is what F1 racing used to be like. If you ever get the chance to watch it, its really worth seeing.

I am a bit surprised at a few responses to historic racing, which I do not disagree with as being exciting and a true pleasure to experience, but it does say something I think to the current offerings as being something less than watchable.

 

[Sky]

what, no vote option for motorbikes or rally or stock car oval goodness?

 

[billymitchell]

MotoGP, where the size of the driver's balls still matters.
Exhibit 1: Cal Crutchlow lettin'em hang

Why no love for WRC? I know it's far from its prime days, but it still is miles better than any F1 race.

 

[RCHeliguy]

I love Rally above all others.

I watched the F1 series on Netflix. It was pretty interesting but consolidated the action down and covered a lot behind the scenes, but I could never sit through watching a race.

VLN 24hr Nurburgring

My favourite type of racing is the one in which the guys behind dont crush me on the firsts turns , no matter which car class.

 

[Nick Hill]

I'll watch about any form of racing and be able to appreciate it on one level or another. For me though, the only racing that is "appointment television" for me is F1.

I know, I know - it's all politics, the tracks are terrible, the drivers are spoiled rich kids, it used to be good, etc, etc. I've heard it all can certainly can appreciate where some of those criticisms come from, but I'll keep watching - nothing else compares for me.

GT (Blancpain, Super gt...) Touring car (DTM...), Endurance

 

[E304LIFE]

Rally racing is the most fun to watch imo, along with MotoGP. 70's, 80's, 90's F1, WTTC, is fun to sim race.*Road cars too.

 

[Mike Kadlcak]

Indycar. You have to master all tracks to be best of the best.

 

[Richard Dastardly]

All of the above? I don't much like top rank open-wheel racing but some of the lower classes are excellent. DTM doesn't fit in any of your categories btw, it's certainly not touring cars anymore, at this point it's sports prototype but not remotely endurance like SuperGT. There's a few other lower level sprint prototype series around but not enough to be much of their own category, I guess.

Bike racing is usually amazingly entertaining, truck racing is nuts. Anything can be entertaining or terrible.

 

[Benutzername]

Love all kinds of racing


But something often overlooked:
Truck Racing.

Not the jumping super trucks, just race trucks.

 

[Bob Gnarley]

Motorcycle road racing...
