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.

And for an American view, here’s Darrell Waltrip going for a ride around Bathurst prior to the 2011 edition of the race

I would also add the first half of 2012 to that tally, as he was the closest rival to Alonso at the halfway stage of the season

Thomas Baer commented on the post, Top ten great races you should have seen in 2012 10 years, 5 months ago

While i can’t say i’ve seen all these races i believe that there could be a case for the Bathurst 1000 to be included in this list. But i do think all of these races in the list showcased the very best of motor racing.
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Track X-factors in the group F1 10 years, 7 months ago

i can agree to that as one of the parts of the x-factor, it definently is a major part. But there are other tracks that do have x-factor without the danger. As with my example, part of monza’s x-factor is the […]
Thomas Baer started the forum topic Track X-factors in the group F1 10 years, 7 months ago

This forum is for people to post how they would define the X-factor, or lack thereof, of all the different race-tracks. What i mean is how would you describe what a track is like in all its glory to a mate who has […]
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Bathurst 2012 – the 50th Anniversary of The Great Race in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

Congrats to Whincup & Dumbrell. Thats what a motor race should be like. Two drivers going for it, at the limit of their ability.
Those last 20 laps was just exciting. And the 0.31 second winning margin compared […]
Thomas Baer commented on the post, Why you should watch… Bathurst 1000 10 years, 8 months ago

Really? I find them to be overly-dramatic and wildly over-produced, myself.

Each to their own. I like how they set the mood for the race, but i can see they are are as you say they are, overly-dramatic and […]
Thomas Baer commented on the post, Why you should watch… Bathurst 1000 10 years, 8 months ago

I always forget how great they make those intro’s. Every year they’re great, they one up there is awesome. This years should be too.

Who is everyone tipping to win?? Tander and Percat for me
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Bathurst 2012 – the 50th Anniversary of The Great Race in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

It’s unfortunate that SPEED aren’t covering it from the track this year, as it is the 50th anniversary. Although they didn’t know much about the series they seemed to enjoy it from what i saw of their coverage. […]

Whereas im reading this after waking up….. we’re a bit upside down in Australia:-)
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

Yeah Mercedes and Nissan we’re the only brands that I’ve heard being connected to the v8’s. The official v8 website has confirmed it here
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

With the manufactures i think the only ford teams with ford contracts are FPR, DJR and SBR. And the article says that SBR are losing ford backing at the end of the year. I suppose if the Mercedes group wants in, […]

Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to Join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

That’s what I meant about introducing them halfway through the year. they’d only need to change bodywork. I’m not sure what regulations dtm engines are, but that could work. I’m sure we’ll know by bathurst in any case.
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to Join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

Yeah, i think what would make more sense, if mercedes or anybody elese joins, and these events happen in 2014, they should introduce their cars halfway through next year, giving time to the teams to prepare them […]
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to Join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

Thats the problem i see, these international races haven’t been announced yet, the only one’s are Austin and Yas Marina, both F1 tracks, with the yas marina event with F1. The only announcement has been about 16 […]
Thomas Baer replied to the forum topic Mercedes to Join V8 supercars in the group Australian V8 Supercars 10 years, 8 months ago

Don’t worry, i’m a sceptical as you in this matter, why would they even want to? Apart from the international racing that hasn’t yet materialised, why would they go for Australian motorsport? But saying that, […]
