F1.

But unfortunately last time there are too many restrictions (such as you can't change tires during the race, you can't add fuel after quallification,... etc).

yup, part of the new rules this year. one set of tires has to last an entire race. all grooves must be visible. also(amongst many others), an engine has to last 2 races, unless you pull into the garage early and put the car out.

i dont like them. its slowed down lap times by a couple seconds at most places.

I watched the F1 race. I'm a fan of F1, ChampCar and WRC. I have no interest in IRL and NASCAR.

Funny, I voted for the running in circles one.

I was actually watching the GT races on SpeedChannel today. I love seeing cars that we could actually drive out on racetracks. I love the GT series.

Formula 1 is the shizz though, I love watching those babies fly through chicaynes (Sp??) at like 150 + LOL That's racing.

yeah, and if car will go off the track (on grass or gravel) and then back all dirt, grass, gravel will stay on tires and you can forget about good places. :unsure:
