My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
F1 has been really boring for years, completely uncompetitive. Every year it's the same thing 2 teams with a real shot at winning and the rest are also rans. BORING, gimme touring cars, rallys, even NASCAR before that. I truly miss the Senna/Prost days where several teams were competitive and the rivalries were everywhere. F1 needs to realize they need competition to stay relevant.

It IS a shame that BMW had to leave F1, but I suppose they couldn't afford the expense of F1 WITHOUT winning!

I would still watch F1 over any of your suggestions!!! as for NASCAR id rather pull my teeth out with crowbar 
seriously for me its the technical side and great minds behind the strategy. The only other series i like is the DTM, now there is some great racing there

Hard to pull for a driver/team in that case, it becomes like being a Cubs fan - you love em, but you know they'll never win anything.
+1 on DTM and all the endurance races like Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans - great racing and so competitive, love it.

i like it, well said im sticking to it though as, as they say anything can happen in F1, look at this weekend, the only one id missed and the shit hit the fan with Massa, and Lewis won!! so the championship is going to be flung wide open with Ferrari and Mclaren on the way back to the top

Um, but that was my point, McLaren and Ferrari are ALWAYS at the top - it was just a matter of time
