..on Motors TV. It's Round 2 at Longbeach CA. How fucking mental are those cars on a street circuit?? Seriously awesome

Yeah........watched some of the F1 and all of the Moto Gp so it's just as well Tan isn't here otherwise I'd have missed it all (every cloud and all that)

Impressive stuff, eh?

yeah it is impressive, I love GT racing, good to see that it's growing in popularity both from a spectator perspective and a coverage/entrant perspective.

I watched the f1 earlier start to finish (bar minor snoozage) and although there were some good battles the GT cars do it for me

I prefer their relevance (in broad terms).......they still look a bit like a car and are sort of based on things that can be bought in a showroom so I'm with you there.

Those Moto GP boys though......absolutely unreal talent, bottle, skill etc etc

Agreed on both counts, Moto GP lads are proper loons and properly skilled, V exciting stuff.

Agree that appeal of GT cars stems from relation to "showroom" but also really good racing - not "faked" with daft tyre rules and DRS etc etc, just a long race, with similar cars, fastest man/team who has the best bit of luck on his side wins. Simples
