I only recently in the past 5 years took up an interest in racing. It was when I got married and my new father-in-law worked as an engineer for the Woods Brothers where Marcos Ambrose was getting his start. So I started following Marcos alot.

I never had an interest in open wheel until I started racing with Buz and Jackal.


1. GP2
2. F3 Euro Series
3. A1GP
4. IRL
5. Nascar
6. F1

The only reason F1 is at the bottom is because of the lack of passing and racing. GP2 and A1gp I have gotten to like since watching here lately. I am currently watching the entire GP2 season from last year. My son and I watch the 2009 GP2 Abu Dabi race at night last week on the computer. It was insane. Or was it the F3? Can't remember.

Favorite TRacks

BRNO
Bristol
Daytona

Drivers

Marcos Ambrose
Scott Speed
Anyone who drives for Redbull
