Too much division to come to an end - I'm glad to see it before one went under. I wondered what was happening when I read that the Circuit of the Americas was negotiating for the US FIA Race that typically has been held at Sebring (& Petit). The fact that a P1 Car wasn't even in the picture at the end of todays race in Baltimore tells the story that small fields & competition in Sports Cars had deluted the landscape T.C. |

This stinks. I stopped watching ALMS because the races were both boring and confusing - too many classes on the track at once to keep track of. I stopped watching F1 for similar reasons - the races are boring because there is so little chance to change positions.
I've really enjoyed the Rolex Grand-Am series and it has become the only races that I faithfully watch. I was already waring of GA's announcement of adding another class next year, and I'm afraid that such a merger will sink a great series. |

"- too many classes on the track at once to keep track of. I gather, from your statement, that you don't enjoy LeMans. (Way too many different classes there). Sounds like a NASCAR fan in denial. (Where all the cars are the same and there are no more than 3 turns, and easier to keep track of). As far as F1, I think that it has over grown itself in all respects. It was far better when 1.5 litters was the base, and more relative, especially now. |
