I was a mad passionate V8 supporter all my life and leading up to the COTF project I was losing interest fast, sure Id still want to know the results but I wasn't watching all the races like I used to, only the big ones. But now I have my interest back so well done to them for that. I am loving the new manufacturers.
I am a life long Ford devotee though and that will never change but to see young McLaughlin get Whincup had me off the lounge fist pumping!
I think there is a lot of tall poppy issues, to hear the crowd boo Whincup was not nice to watch but it was the same with Skaifey and Ambrose......Scumacher, Vettel, I think its just in our nature to want to start hating the Champions if they keep winning.
It will be good for the sport if RedBull stop dominating and the other guys get up there more often. It will be even better to have fairy tales like the Volvo beating them in a decent battle like what we saw
Im like most with the penalties and think they were soft, but they are what they are, you see it all the time. As long as humans are making decisions there will be decisions made that some of us don't agree with.
When or if they do in fact take those races off to pay TV that will loose a life long fan in me from the sport. I won't get pay tv period. Yep Ill still watch the big races but I think you will find it is going to do more damage than good to the fan base. They will work it out and bring it back to free to air but the big question is how many seasons do they take to figure out they are loosing fans.
I am a fan of all motorsports, some may say a student of the sport so there is plenty of free to air motorsports to keep me entertained as long as Aussies are in them I have a real interest.
