That's great for F1, but I enjoy watching CART so much more and it's not going to be the same without Honda.

I could care less about CART's demise - I enjoy the racing but it is run by arrogant pricks who care about themselves far more then about the sport. Hopefully ESPN and ABC (I believe the 2 networks with rights to CART?) will replace CART with a different flavor of racing, should CART's demise be accurate. My fear is that they will air more stupid extreme sports (like fishing), instead of picking up F1, IRL, IMSA, ALMS, or any of the other road racing series.

Actually, the only reason I started watching CART was becasue of Hondas involvement. I used to watch F1 all the time since Honda used to kick ass with McLaren and their drivers Prost and Senna. Man those guys were awesome.

I'm glad Honda's going full force into F1 again. Their engine this year was pitiful.

I think this is one of the best choices made by Honda over the last 12 months and I wish them all the best for the upcoming year, no doubt they can do better at F1. I do expect to see more competition, and it's also because of the pressure from Toyota. They most definitely don't want to be inferior in anyway.

Now all we need is Senna back! But we all know that can't happen.
