as much as i ADORE F1, there is NOTHING like watching on TV, or seeing MotoGP live.
On Average top 5 are seperated by 3 seconds from start til checkered flag.

You won't find any better racing anywhere as far as I'm concerned. The new bikes are absolute rockets and when you can fit 2 bikes on 1 square foot of race track you know something exciting is going to happen.

The good news is the guys who do MotoGP are the guys who just bought out Bernie so maybe F1 can pick up a little entertainment value as well.

Are you referring to CVC? I don't think it has been approved by FIA -- but considering it's the Mosely/Ecclestone show, I'm sure it'll be approved.

MotoGP ranks up there, but the manliest man racers are without a doubt the boys who race at the Isle of Man TT races. If you get a chance watch them race on Nascar Channel aka Speed Channel. Think about it, a 37 mile lap on narrow roads with houses right at the edge of the track. A few hales for safety but that's about it. None of this sissified safety tracks they keep modifying or building. In the past few years we have lost some of the greatest riders of that race but the track remains the same thank God.

I highly recommend the motogp documentary, Faster. I still wish F1 would adopt their quali format.
