Which series do you like better?

>oval racing

>rigged regulation hoop jumping

>Europoors need a metal thong over their heads to drive fast

Also, the Indycar shield actually fucking works, unlike the one Ferrari made bad on purpose, paid Vettel to drive a lap and tell the press "Shit don't work; We need the Halo" so they could design their new car around it while everybody else laughed it off.

Formula E is more like a bad reality TV show from the mid-2000s, complete with "Fan-Boost" voting in real time and bad techno music hiding the lack of sound the cars make.

As long as it's not NASCAR you might have a good time watching oval racing.

that thing was installed because a runaway tire hopped directly on a guy's head, snapping his neck

This is actually a better comparison than mine.

>Fan-Boost voting
Is that like Mario kart power ups based on Twitter polls?

NASCAR is unironically more enjoyable than either of these.

True. But nobody except Ferrari wanted the Halo on cars by this year and a lot of F1 insiders were pointing towards Red Bull's "Riot Shield" concept as what the FIA were going to go with, to the point where some teams were already designing this year's cars to accept something like that..However, the Riot Shield had a design flaw that couldn't be ironed out, the FIA had to cover their ass and went with the Halo because it was the only out there right this second that could work... And it just so happens that Ferrari had designed their car around it...

Pretty much. Basically, the most popular driver gets a slight increase in overall power to his car for the race.

NASCAR has gone full-on WWE now. I cringed hard when Austin Dillon won The Daytona 500 by wrecking Almirola at 200 MPH, then NASCAR got on the horn and made the replays un-viewable to the public at home so it looked like a legitimate finish so the marketing department could try and convince the viewers that this dabbing piece of shit was the next Dale Earnhardt.

Yeah nah, fuck that noise.

Also, Denny Hamlin is a cunt and I hope somebody takes his ass out sooner or later. Bubba Wallace would be a good pick IMO.

Indycar all the way, nu-f1 is shit af

tires are now classified as illegal movable aerodynamic device

F1 but I don't watch either.

Rally is the patricians motor sport.

>Lonso has a marginally competitive engine
>Halo isn’t as bad as we thought

I think the worst aspect of formula e is that all cars start and end the race in the same positions.
If you started 2nd, you will finish 2nd unless you got THIS WEEK'S FANBOOST that gives you JUST ENOUGH energy to perform an overtake.
They also installed speed governors just so cars don't run out of juice halfway through the race, and even then they still have to swap FE cars for the last half of the race.
What a fucking joke.

The worst aspect of it is I will never be able to participate in it at a competitive level and I am tired of reading about “men greater then me”

They won't be swapping cars in 2018

Yeah but it's TITANIUM rebar covered in carbon for aero aids

used to follow f1 since I was a kid but it has turned more and more faggy from 2014 to today

f1... but motogp is better

It's also ridiculously strong. Supports 13 metric tons from the front and from the side which is basically a large city bus balanced on top of the thing

Touring Car Masters

From a engineering standpoint F1 is more interesting, especialy the not so passive aerodynamic systems are pure autism engineering porn.
But sadly the engines are pretty cucked, I can live with some safety features like the halo thing, but they shouldn´t have decreased the power with regulations like the rpm limit and stuff like that.
The high reving 20.000 rpm V-10s and berillium alloy pistons where awesome.

I want to see monsters with 4 digit horsepower ratings and crashes like in the 1980s and early 2000s again...

You know that every single power unit is pushing 1,000 hp, right? And Mercedes have claimed that their engine alone is reaching quadruple digits.

motoGP is the patrician choice

Only if you include KERS systems, also they had more power in the 1980s.
BMW pushed 1350 hp back in 1986 in a way less refined chassis...

BMW pushed those numbers in qualifying and the engine went straight to the garbage afterwards. The refined part is true.

Yea, that was only a 1,5L 4-cylinder based on a production block, of course something like that doesn´t last...

> rpm limit

fuel flow limit has a greater impact

> 4 digit horsepower ratings

literally 80s quali engines and today’s race engines.
