Great F1 race, Love the speed, skill and technology.

Fuck off back to the 60's hippy.

Watched it start to finish... missed lots cos I was cooking tea though. So watched the highlights again the next day.

Haven't watched it for a few years, which kinda sucks cos I don't know anything much about the drivers and teams anymore, but it was a pretty exciting race to watch nonetheless.

Especially seeing Button win... after so many years in F1 he seems to have really come on form the past couple.

(I remember when he went on Topgear a few years back he'd never actually won an F1 race).

I like nascar. near 900 horsepower, virtually no brakes. pulling 320km/h entering the corners - in a car that is heavy and dim witted and doesnt really want to go in a straight line nor does it want to turn. with other cars all doing the same bumping into the back of you or sideswiping you with multiple passes happening every lap.. not that I watch all 300 or 500 laps haha. But as an event its sweet, fireworks, rides in the cars for public, crashes, lots of passing, raw horsepower. no fannying about with computers and laptops n shit

I didn't used to be a big Nascar fan but after watching a couple of docos on the sport realised it's a lot more technical than it looks, although I think they should ditch the restrictor plates and see how fast thoses suckers can really go on the Superspeedways

Oh yeah and ditch the roof flaps

Rusty Wallace tested a car at Talladega Superspeedway without a restrictor plate in 2004, reaching a top speed of 228 mph (367 km/h) in the backstretch and a one-lap average of 221 mph (356 km/h). While admitting excitement at the achievement, Wallace also conceded, "There's no way we could be out there racing at those speeds... it would be insane to think we could have a pack of cars out there doing that."

Would be cool to see though.

All motor racing is exciting to me. If it's got a motor, race it against others.
