Default WSB........

Did anyone see the first race? How anyone can say that F1 or touring cars is more exciting than this is beyond me!

Thats got to be one of the best and most unpredictable races for a while. Excellent stuff!

Im suprised not many are into WSB on here. I know we dont have any brits in it now, but its still great to watch.

The thing that i dont like about F1 is the pit stops. You just lose track on whose where and one slight mistake by the team or a slightly longer stop than normal and all the hard work of the driver gaining 0.xxx of a second a lap goes down the swanny.

Yes i can imagine that would be awesome, but i think that there is more skill involved in riding a bike round a track fast, than driving a car round a track fast. More things to think about and more things to go wrong when on a bike. Not to mention more risk of coming off, which makes it all that more interesting in a wierd kind of way.

S1rst (sorry don't know your real name) I agree about the skill bit. I love watching bikes more then cars if im honest as everything is always changing during the race. I just dont agree that F1 is pony.
