    Yup we get to watch all the best racing after the fact on YouTube at best. What is with Americans and nascar? Look he's making a left turn! And another left and another left. Thank god no one has to turn right. It could get confusing.

    Yes, indeed.
    NASCAR is one of the best racing series in the world (in my opinion). The first races are a little bit strange, but after 3 or 4 I really started to like this kind of racing.

    Having been to numerous NASCAR events over the years I will say it takes skill. The problem is when people watch NASCAR they just watch Talladega or Daytona. They should watch Bristol, or Darlington. That is where most of the excitement happens on tracks that are 1.5 miles and under

    ^^that. Not sure I'll watch the first race though. It'll be on MotorsTV so i'll get to watch it later and i'll certainly wont see the 2nd race 1st.

    Why do they have to chose one of my daughter's birthday to start it? WHY??? WHY??? :)

    I sincerely hope that TCR races will get uploaded to YouTube. I cannot afford cable and since I live in the USA no motorstv

    I'm sure they will upload full races after the livestream, similar to how the DTM channel operates. The organisers will want as many people to watch this as possible, particularly at a time when the WTCC is borderline unwatchable.

    I know that nascar racing takes a lot of skill. It's not a cake walk at all. Just one hour on an oval can be brutal on the driver. I've sat through many races with roommates. I just never saw the spectator value in it. I feel the same way about F1.

    F1 to me is catastrophically boring

    I'm quite down at the moment. I missed both races. Hope there is a replay on YouTube soon

    I was going to joke about it basically being a one make championship with the addition of a couple of Civics (the Audi being a Seat with a TT body on it) but, I couldn't think of anything witty.
    Saw race 1 yesterday, some good midfield racing but I think it's crying out for more manufacturers. Hopefully later in the series more will arrive (as rumors suggest) but for now BTCC is still much more exciting, great potential though, looking forward to seeing the TCR National championships later in the year/next year.
    I watched this on MotorsTV, couldn't help feel it would have been much more exciting if the commentator wasn't so dull lol.

    You won't be able to see the full races, Formula One Management is blocking them, so you can only watch the highlight clips :/
