good race sure there was lulls at times - but for this track (which will always be hard to pass just given it's nature/design), a good race (also LOL at seeing twitter and all of the nascar fans asking for comp yellows & all of the f1 fans asking for blue flags - literally the 2 things that would make this race 1000 times worse; the coyne cars would of never had a chance at the top 5 if there was either) |

I don’t remember many races in the 90’s and 00’s being won by being the slowest car on track, simple solution, stop the teams being able to control fuel flow through the ECU, you know, how it was in the good old days when you controlled it with your right foot. Yeah yeah I’ve heard it all before, shut up you out of touch gammon, but face it, it’s on life support, when people like me who have been life long motorsport fans don’t even bother to tune in anymore, your product is broken, and I had motorsport flowing through my veins from the day I was born, my first visit to a track was when I was three days old and I spent the next 35 years at tracks every weekend either spectating, working or driving. The more technology has advanced, the worse the product has become to the point that I’d rather watch a historic club event at Donington on YouTube than I would a Grand Prix or Indycar race the racing is so much better the simpler the cars are. I know I’m not the only one who thinks this too, many of the people I worked or became friend with during the 80’s, 90’s and. 00’s are either not involved or not interested in the sport anymore. I only watched this race because I had nothing else to do but if someone had suggested an alternative, I’d have turned it off in an instant. Maybe the TV coverage has a lot to do with it too, Indycar isn’t bad, but those yap yap screaming commentating on the NASCAR put me right off and I’m not paying £42 a month to watch F1 on Sky. |
