Hey all. Just wondering here. What other racing series do you watch? What do you recommend? And why?

So I'll start. Me personally I love watching GP2. But in GP2, interestingly, I prefer to watch the races, while in F1, my focus lies more on the championship tables. A close championship fight seems more enjoyable to me than a close fight on track, whereas it's the opposite for GP2 for me. I also love watching the DTM, as I do love watching people race sportcars (albeit a bit more purpose-built for racing) and I do love the great close racing

A friend of mine recommended watching superleague, and Indy too.

Having said that, everything else seems to be slow when you've watched F1

MotoGP and Moto2. Far better than F1 and there is proper racing and overtaking.

If you want a laugh, watch BTCC - basically, it's just a demolition derby. Used to be good up untill the late 90's, early 00's but has sadly faded.

WRC is getting a bit of a revival but Loeb constantly winning is ruddy boring.

I watched a fantastic video it is too much fun. I can 't thing that no any videos will compare to BTCC video. It is very interesting and enough to laugh, keep sharing this type any good and fantastic videos.

other than F1:

ALMS - when possible. All the races can be found at the... internet afterwards. Some of them are streamed for free at the American Le Mans Series website. Why? Because the cars look and sound spectacular and very different from each other. Lots of talented drivers from around the world. Also there's more overtaking in 1 race than in whole F1 season.
LMS - well... it's hardly possible to watch as most countries are limited to very short and generally poor Eurosport coverage, if anything at all. But the racing is fantastic (like ALMS, but longer races).
FIA GT1 and GT3 - again lots of different and rather spectacular cars and very close fights, sometimes fights in the BTCC meaning of the word . Unfortunately the SRO are too intrusive with managing performance balancing, but the races are great fun.
You can watch quali sessions and races live as well as in replay at gt1world.com and gt3europe.com accordingly.

Top Race in Argentina is fun to watch (cars look a little bit like the cars from DTM in 2004), good close racing with lot´s of overtaking.
But I´m not sure ir get´s broadcasted much. Highlights are shown on FOX Sports "maxima velocidad" and "ultima vuelta" magazine, but maybe only in Latin America.

V8Supercars in Australia is quite good as well, for most of the races, espacially Clipsal 500 (Adelaide) , Bathurst and the street races in Surfers Paradise.

Any that i can find
Mostly NASCAR since they have like 3 series with around 3 sessions to watch every week
but if ALMS, Grand AM and of course F1 is on i'll watch it even if i get up early

Ditto.

I'm a devout motorsport fan, and watch a heck of a lot of racing. I've even watched streaming online racing on my computer. In the last two weeks I have viewed motorcycle motocross and road racing, drag racing, air racing, ALMS and other endurance racing. The most memorable races I watched this weekend was the F1 race, and the CASCAR and NASCAR races at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Of course, I watched Busch win all three at Bristol.

The world of motosport is like being in a Baskin Robbins, why limit yourself to just one flavor when there are dozens available for sampling?

Have you ever seen a connoisseur of fine wines limit themselves to just one bottle? Of course not, they sample a lot of different flavors.

Top Race may be fun, but I prefer TC2000 and TC.
