F1 or Moto GP?
« on: April 17, 2005, 07:45:23 pm »
i have never really watched moto gp all that much in the past, but after having watched the first 2 races of the new series i have come to the conclusion that it is much more exciting than F1. what are your views?

its blatantly more interesting but for some reason i can never be arsed to watch it. i'll always know when and where the next f1 race is, but can't build up the enthusiasm for moto gp.

Hmmm, maybe if you saved your brain cells Tink, instead of sampling "substances" then you would be able to view various internet sites and know when the next Moto GP race was.

That said, I hope you are still the official CA supplier this year and that you will rectify last years problems of the oack of chocolate brownies for those of us that don't smoke!!

Its Moto GP that gets my vote, its real racing where several bikes are split by less than a second.

Todays viewing was even better because we were treated to the 24 hour bike race from LM as well as Estoril.

I swore I would never go to another Formula 1 after my first Le Mans, and it has now got to the point where I don't even follow F1 on the telly any more. Therefore it has to be Moto for me.

I'm sorry, but why pay £150.00 quid to watch a 1.5 hour race which has been bastardised by a poison dwarf, when i can pay £45.00 and watch 24 hours of real racing with great company, great wine and normally better weather in France.

PS, when does this years F1 actually start  ;)

and as in the first race in spain where rossi nudged gibernea, think of the outcry had schumacher or any of the drivers hit another guy off on the last corner, then go on to win!

Whats all this if then?? Schumacher has driven people off the road, repeatedly... back when there was overtaking in F1.  It's like watching trains race.....

Your fricking kidding right?  This is even a question?
I've beat on this soapbox long enough but for old times sake, I began following F1 in 1970 when I was eight. For two decades I absolutely ate slept and breathed F1, got up early on Sunday mornings to watch the races live from Europe, had a subscription to GPI from its inception to the last issue, still have an original JPS Lotus jacket, etc.  Around 1991 or 92 I began to realize that F1 was no longer the sport I fell in love with, it was no longer about the racing and all about making money.  Moto GP reminds me alot of what F1 used to be.
