NASCAR super-speedways. No other form of motor racing, IMO, even comes close, although the Indy 500 can be exciting at times.



I find Formula 1 road courses and NHRA drag-races boring enough to put me to sleep.

Rally racing by far, I used to love watching it on speed channel before it became the Nascar channel. I dont profess to have a iota of the guts those drivers did, it is nothing less than breath taking wathing these guys go all out 100% of the time spittin in dangers face.

Check out this Group B rally vid. Back in the outlaw days when these cars were spittin out 600hp-900hp

I cant believe the air these rally cars can catch. They will be at speeds near 100 mph and catching about 5 feet of air , land it perfectly ( sometime sideways), and continue on at full speed and throttle

Isle of Man TT, Laguna Seca AMA Superbike. Basically anything with bikes. F1 and street course open wheel racing like Long Beach Gran Prix and of course Rally or hill climb.

Most other stuff, Lemans, NASCAR, etc is just boring.
