MODERATORS
Totally normal behaviour, obviously not trying to hide paying bribes for the upcoming election out of FIA funds
Rich fucks voted for MBS and are giving him his mandate and MBS is telling us he's acting on behalf on his members and we're just going to hate MBS, aren't we?
Go hunt down and corner the men responsible for shaping MBS' policy. They're literally telling him to do annoying shit and when we get annoyed we clown MBS.
Fuck MBS.
Anyone have a non FiA series they would recommend that isn't Indycar? The constant commercial interruptions completely kill Indycar for me so I just watch the race recaps.
If you're okay with sports car racing series, there's Japan's Super GT and North America's IMSA SportsCar Championship. I don't really follow these 2 series, but I've heard good things about them, especially the latter.
I've actually been watching a fair amount of IMSA on YouTube this year. It's pretty good racing most of the time.
SuperGT is a series I'd completely forgotten about. I'll have to see what's going on these days. Thanks!
No problem!
There's also the DTM but they kinda lost their unique appeal and are more akin to a regular GT3 series these days, as far as I can tell. The Intercontinental GT Challenge, on the other hand, seems pretty interesting, when looking at its calendar. I mainly follow the Nürburgring 24 Hours but am keen on watching the other races.
I'm currently watching WEC these days, which is pretty fun, but that's good to know about IMSA. Will have to check out some races.
Commercial breaks? What about "Sting Ray Bob's Team Goodheart Animal Health Centers car is coming in for a fresh set of Firestone sticker reds and a new tank of Shell racing fuel!"
Don't get me wrong that stuff is hot garbage too but I could mute the TV and watch the racing if it weren't for the picture in picture ads and the other fuckery they pull. It's super annoying and drives me away from the live broadcast.
I watched some GT World Challenge races this year that were kinda great but its sort of awkward to watch. I find their YouTube confusing and they also post spoiler highlights almost instantly after races so fuck you if you're not watching live, I guess. Lots of endurance races too which - while great - are less convenient a watch than a 2-3 hour race.
I don't believe it's typical to watch a full endurance race. (especially 24h) Even the crewmembers and drivers fall asleep.
No, there is no motorsport where money doesn't matter.
I hope someone stands against him next year....
