Whats your favourite form of Motorsport?

Spectating and/or Taking Part in.

Two Wheels or four, any.

Mine is F1 but it might soon be replaced by British GT and Touring Cars

Love it all (but can't get excited about bikes for some reason).

Supersports is a must see series - The sound of 7 litre V8s is one that will last a long time!

As long as it has four wheels and an engine then that's fine by me!

For the last few years it's been drag racing. Total assault on the senses, great value for money and a friendly atmosphere, even at the FIA championship events. That and some mental machinery. 317mph in 4.6 seconds

GT or rally... GT or rally... GT or rally? hmm

As for participating, I'd LOVE to drive a GT racer. Forget winning races, just being in one would be amazing (I'm guessing, of course).

Classic Car races.
I find F1 starts and finishes fine, but the rest bore me rigid.
Rallying, but as a couch potato, as seeing it for real is a few seconds viewing for several hours freezing.

Have a feeling I will have to develop a passion for fomula 750 as my other half is building his own car and I think I have been elected 'oily rag'!

Anything I can find to watch !!!!

Love fast cars, fast bikes.....in fact, I'll watch anything with a motor attached !!

[anonymous-user]

hillclimbs. 120 mph up a ten foot wide bit of tarmac....

[The Wiz]

Historic Racing - I think I was born 30 years too late - and speed hillclimbing.

[Madmini]

Rallying
And Mini Miglia / Se7ens

[ettore]

Hillclimbing, Historics/VSCC, oh and Le Mans.

GT and sportcars about the only contemporary racing of any interest...

Having watched Rally Cross at Brands last year that has to be the winner although banger racing comes a close second.

Short sharp races, plenty of action and if they are processions its only for a couple of laps!

[stiggy baddos]

Oh for the return of Group B rallying.........

"Oh look,a cute little Metro....I know,lets stick a Jag 220 engine in the back and go rallying!That'll be a hoot!"

And a bit of truck racing when Steve Parrish was at the helm of his rig,and was having a mischevious day.....HOHOHO!

Sportscar racing, trounces everything for spectacle and sheer entertainment. FF1600 is pretty good, as are Minis and Tuscans. Bike's don't do it for me, strangely, even though the racing is amazing. Other than that, anything fast/noisy/flame spitting, preferably a combination of all three

Think this meets your criteria...

I WILL get to Santa Pod and see a top fuel car this year. I'll get to Shelsley Walsh and see a hillclimb this year as well

not wanting to be too pedantic but the Metro 6R4 engine was around a long time before the XJ220. In fact the XJ220 was meant to have a big V12 in it but apparently Jaguar got their sums wrong and had to go with the twin turbo debacle. I think the 6R4 engine was used in C2 of the Group C sportscar championship cars as raced by Tiga in the mid eighties.

For me it's gotta be something I can have a go at.


So this year it's

AutoSolo - or Slaloming
Drifting - Sideways all day
Trackdays - If they'll let me slide around a bit




To watch

Last years Drag Racing - fook me how fast
Hillclimbs - Walking about the pits with all those Judd V8's

Well if thats the rules I hope to go Hovercraft racing this year, but I feel thats off-topic. Mind you they have motors!

[griff2be]

Unsurprisingly, my favourite is Tuscans!

[McNab]

Now: F1, WRC, MotoGP, CART.
Then: WSC, GP.
