A1 GP

Surely the future of motor racing. A wonderful specatacle, 25 cars representing 25 different nations. Exciting racing, mistakes in the pits, the Lebanese car flying into the ravel trap (the driver escaping miraculously and waving to the enormos crowd), overtaking and two wonderful victories for the Brazilian, Nelson Piquet jr.

Large numbers of recognisable names, cheap ticket prices, good marketing, individually liveried but otherwise identical cars and a really good concept.

The only thing that's bad is the incredibly badly designed website which is advertised on every car!

I used to watch Formula 1 religiously, but it has really lost its lustre as the manufacturers muscle in on all the teams. Gone are Sauber, Jordan, Stewart, Minardi. Only Frank Williams is left as the standard bearer for the non-works cars. Red Bull and BAR are just full team adverts, and may as well both be Team Honda. McLaren is Mercedes amd ferarri is basically Fiat (doesn't sound as good though).

Champ Cars are good. IRL bores me on the Ovals (although with Dan Wheldon the first GB champion since mansell it has its moments), but A1 GP seems to be the way forward. First race weekend - glowing success.
