Was going to say exactly that.

Do Brazilians even play it?

if they play, they don't broadcast

but rugby doesn't have internal combustion engined machines at more than 200km/h crashing due to failed maneuvers, is just a bunch of guys bashing their heads until they score a try (quite good indeed, but I don't have the patience to watch like I do for F1)

Or cycling. Crashes too numerous to detail but there was a big one last week at San Luis. As for bumping, also commonplace in the sprints but ... Renshaw's head-butt anyone?

Usually a peleton fall is caused by some guys bumping into each other

Indycar isn't the answer. The schedule is too short and the cars are ugly.

I'd say GP3 and GP2 are more entertaining.

GP2 and GP3 are freaking junior series. I want to see the best drivers in the best cars do battles. They will by definition not be found in junior series.

GP2 and GP3 were largely disappointing last year, at least the first 5 weekends were more dull than F1.

Most excitement? F3 obviously. You never know what happens next other than it will be either a huge disaster or a close-call.
Also ADAC F4 was great fun, and should be the same this year.

Wish there was still British Formula Three. The UK has the best old-school circuits, but they lack proper open-wheel series.

Just about the only motorsport that doesn't disappoint me anymore is the BTCC.

Can someone please find all the pay drivers that everyone seems to be talking about in IndyCar. I think the teams did a fantastic job of finding sponsors themselves last year. The only guys I can think of that brought sponsorship for full season rides were Jakes, Coletti and the Coyne team. And then Karam and Saavedra part time for the 4th Ganassi car. That's much better than it has been in IndyCar and F1 has a higher percentage of them.

I wish we could get Super Formula, but since Nissan isn't a manufacturer, it'll be a long time.

Answering the first post id say Formula E. Tight competition and macho tracks with great roster. Followed by Indycar, that got 400% better or more in terms of pure ontrack racing quality with the new aero pack.
