"Where are the sports of men?"

I wander into this forum occasionally, hopeful to catch a glimpse of someone discussing the sport of kings - that being motorsport. Perhaps a thread on touring cars, rally, superbikes, rallisport or V8 supercars.

All I find is thread after thread discussing some namby pamby "oooh get me han'bag margaret, I've chipped a finger-nail!" sport called football. What's the crack?

Oh, and Formula 1 although technically motorsport, is so commercialised and monopolised these days, watching it is generally as exciting as counting the legs of a herd of sheep and then dividing by 4.

Slacker...

I should be working, but oh well...

:)

oh my the AbsoluT has returned!

Bowls is even better...

Fishing.

Now thats the sport of real men...

Agree with the last couple of posts...motor racing int all its cracked up to be.

Yes, because driving a car around a course is so manly...

How is motor racing a 'hard' sport? Motorbikes yes i can see the toughness there but with the cars? You've got a big old load of metal around you to protect you from injury, can't really call footie namby pamby compared to that


WHAM-O!!!!!

I'm with ashley.

It aint a "real" sport. The driver is just sitting there with the car doing all the hard work :P There is indeed the skill of taking the car round the course, but the best car will usually win.

I do enjoy the occasional race with anyone thats up for it on the A1 though.
