Formula 1 has sucked for years, so I get my motor racing fix from watching NASCAR nowadays. Yes, they just drive round in circles etc etc. But not always. Sometimes they actually drive on Formula 1 type road courses, and when it rains these might be some of the most entertaining races to watch. Because most of these drivers (a) can't drive on road courses, because they're just used to oval tracks, and (b) can't drive in the rain, because they stop racing when it rains on an oval track. So when they have to drive on road courses in very heavy rain - as they did this weekend using wet weather tires - it's absolutely hilarious watching all the cars either crawl round really slowly or skid off, especially when they all pile up in the same corner, because they haven't got a clue how fast or slow they need to go. Apparently they are increasing the number of road courses in the series next year, so I hope we get more rain and more races like this.
