In my opinion Formula 1 kicks Indy's ass. Seems like now that the cars are all cookie cutter its lost its appeal to me, it was like watching NASCAR (cars mostly the same with stickers to make them different). I used to love Indy and NASCAR. Oh well hopefully the Australian Supercar series hits it big here, then I'll have F1 and the supercar series to watch. It would be good if Chrysler, gets involved in the supercar series with the Charger....

It's been that way for a long time, since the 1990's.
I've been to a boatload of Indy car races including 5 times to the 500..... . . . No Mas. |

It might have been cookie cutter, but the racing was as good as I have seen in a long time.
I do love F1. And ALMS sports cars. They both rock!!! |

Formula 1 has so much more money than IndyCar - I'll bet you could run all of IndyCar on the Ferrari budget alone. My wife and I also hate the whole Formula 1 team orders thing. I have fun watching Indy because I like so many of the drivers: Kanaan's win this year was very cool. Attending the Indy 500 live with Ivelis is on the list. I've only been at the race once, in 1984; Rick Mears' second win and Pat Bedard's frightening crash (everybody around us thought he was dead). |

Would love to have seen it play out under green, but it was still a good one to watch.| BillH | Re: Just finished watching the indy 500 | ||

Nascar and Indy are Politically Correct Racing. It just sucks. The best racing that's been on in the last 2 weeks was the Aussie's in Texas. |
