F2
Formula 2 is considered the foremost single-seater feeder series to Formula 1. F2 has existed in three different guises over the years. Until 1984 the championship was an open series for manufacturers of different chassis, engines and tyres. However that championship was phased out and replaced by Formula 3000. F2 was later revived as a one-make series between 2009. However the series failed to attain the prominence of GP2, which had replaced F3000 and raced almost exclusively on the F1 support bill. The new F2 lasted just four seasons. In 2016 Liberty Media took over the running of F1 and purchased GP2, then rebranded it as Formula 2 in 2017.

IndyCar
The most famous IndyCar race is the Indianapolis 500, held annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of huge crowds. However American open-wheel racing has a chequered history. The championship reached its peak in the late eighties and early nineties under the sanctioning body CART. It attracted huge international attention as Formula 1 champions including Nigel Mansell, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti competed in it. However the creation of the rival Indy Racing League in 1996 created a split which badly damaged the championship. CART, which rebranded as Champ Car, fell into decline. By 2008, with Champ Car on the bring of collapse, the two series finally merged, but the damage had been. Nonetheless today’s IndyCar championship retains a reputation for spectacular racing with its single-specification chassis and features a broad range of circuits including road, street and traditional American oval courses.
FE
Formula E is a recent additional to international motorsport. The all-electric single-seater racing championship was set up by the FIA in 2014. The series races exclusively on street circuits.
WEC
The World Endurance Championship is the leading worldwide series for prototype road-based sports cars. The series’ signature race is the Le Mans 24 Hours, held annually at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France.

It’s a good story and what’s a story without drama? Couldn’t give a rats about the beer.

Scottie replied to the topic Is it OK to use a racing driver's death for an advert? in the forum NASCAR 5 years, 6 months ago

Well, as a general rule, it’s certainly not good marketing to use death in promotion.
However, This ad doesn’t actually use the footage of the crash and pays more homage to Dale Jnr’s career and the role his father played in it.

I think in this context it was OK and I like the ad. But if the crash footage had been used and the context been a…[Read more]

In 1997 they had to use wet weather tyres during qualifying but the race was dry:

Keith Collantine started the topic Video: When NASCAR raced at Suzuka in the forum NASCAR 5 years, 8 months ago

F1 is heading to Suzuka this weekend but 20 years ago some very different machines raced at the Japanese Grand Prix venue.

NASCAR held a pair of exhibition races using the short East Course configuration. That meant they didn’t get to tackle the full grand prix circuit including the mighty Spoon Curve and 130R, but it’s fascinating to see how…[Read more]

Total support to NASCAR owners which will fire drivers that disrespect our flag, veterans and country. In F1, Lewis Hamilton has announce that he is thinking about kneeling during the national anthem at COTA in Austin later this month.
First, I want to start that this is not his country, he is a mere visitor and if he can’t respect our flag and…[Read more]

Hamilton’s posted about it on Instagram, which begs an obvious question:

Post from @LewisHamilton. Will he #takeaknee at @circuitamericas during the anthem when #F1 goes there next month? https://t.co/nOg49bpoQE pic.twitter.com/nZWjjh8Lgp

Here’s Dale Earnhardt Jnr’s view:

Keith Collantine started the topic NASCAR stars back Trump's stance in US national anthem row in the forum NASCAR 5 years, 8 months ago

Last weekend over 200 American football players out of the 1,696 in the league took part in protests during pre-game performances of the US national anthem. The protests began last year when Colin Kaepernick sat down during a pre-game rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner in protest at civil rights abuses against black people in America.

It has been my honor to drive for Tony Stewart, Gene Haas and everyone at Stewart-Haas Racing for the past six seasons. Together we earned a Daytona 500 pole, seven top-10 finishes and we also had some exciting racing along the way. My time driving for them,…

Will Wood replied to the topic Dale Earnhardt Jnr to retire in the forum NASCAR 6 years, 1 month ago

This follows his being sidelined by concussion last year.

Given the loss of his father in a crash in 2001 and his own injuries, I feel as though health is probably the primary factor in Dale Jr’s decision to step away from the sport. Which is very understable.
