An Irishman with a volatile personality and a drinking problem? Isn't that the definition of an Irishman?
Lol he certainly fits the stereotype!

to be fair, and I'm not even a nascar fan, the idea of driving among 30-40 cars traveling at 190 mph must require skill, and trust of your competitors. a lot of it is pit strategy though, and use of yellow flag sessions. it's too contrived for me to get very interested. a 'competition yellow' after 30 laps? really?
attendance has been steadily decreasing for the last decade.
races are being reduced in number.
who knows what will happen to the series.
as far as formula E is concerned, not interested.
Cadillac finishes first and second at the Rolex 24. Ford first and second in GTLM. @ of the Cadillacs didn't finish. One retired with engine problems and one was parked because of 4 tire failures. The 2 running Cadillacs both had overheating issues. The leder had a 70 second lead and crossed the finish line with a few seconds to go requiring him to run another lap when he could have backed off his speed and ended it a lap sooner.
I love some WRC if I have to watch some cage racing. Hell, I live in the heart of NASCAR country and my brother in law works for one of the teams and I don't even like the stuff. Not exciting enough
It's two wheels for me. I raced different disciplines on and off for 20 years. Started in motorcross, dabbled in flat track, cross country, and ended up road racing for several years. Ran vintage and modern bikes with a few different series. Hell, I even took two seasons and raced watercraft in the 90's when it was popular!
And then there's this...........................balls as big as houses
So is this Rolex 24 basically an american version of Le Mans? I see they have the same kinds of prototype cars.
Awesome! Fair play mate!
My parents used to have a caravan (which aren't only for trailer trash and yokels like in the USA lol, people here use them for cheap, pleasant holidays) at the park right beside where the North West 200 goes past. The speeds are insane. As a spectator sport it's not great...they are gone in a second, but as a spectacle it was awesome, great atmosphere too. It'd be cool to go to the Isle of Man someday.
good to see the Ford GTs take first and second place in class.
