New season has just started; I take an interest in the results, but couldn't call myself a fan.....

I'm interested in most forms of motorsport, drifting is an exception.

I always drift off watching F1,
BTCC, now that's proper racing.

I am a weird creature.

I dont watch ANY sport, although I play (or have played) tennis, squash, badmington, football, karting, boxing and others (even darts lol).

I was once called 'sad' because one evening, I was PLAYING a league tennis match instead of WATCHING england football on tv Confused

.

So, NO, I dont watch F1 Laughing

F1, yup despite its faults I never miss it.

BTCC, I used to watch it regularly, but began to lose interest when little hatchbacks began appearing.

I agree with welshrover. I lost interest in F1 years ago because it turned into a boring procession.
I liked the British saloon racing as well
There is nothing more boring than watching dozens of Clios racing against each other.

Historic saloon racing is alive and well and probably coming to a circuit near you later this year. It also features regularly on MotorsTV throughout the season, sometimes with a live full day's racing from a British circuit.

Stopped watching it for a few years over the notorious "Ferrari Team Orders" incident. But watch it again now the winner is not a foregone conclusion.

Don't really have time these days to watch whole races. Do sometimes catch the highlights. Nice to see the Lotus name take honours once again though, even though theres nothing of Colin Chapman in it!!

Yes, i found it brought out a few memories, seeing Lotus on the podium.Can't see it being too regular though, unlike the days of Jimmy Clark, which i remember so well. I think Kimi was quite pleased with his win, i am sure i saw a little smile, although it could just have been wind! Very Happy

Lotus won not so long ago - the Abu Dhabi GP on Nov 4th last year.
