Racing and touring cars

[Allan Jones <ampj@tiac.net>]

I'm sorry, but the CART racing series has the best racing. F1 may have
the best technology, best courses, best drivers, etc., but their races
typically consist of a few perfectionists just chasing one another
around a beautiful and challenging course trying not to make a single,
imperceivable mistake.  Today's Motorola 300 was simply exciting and
entertaining, even peaking at the white flag! Outside of peaking at the
checkered flag, that's about all that I ask for and want from a race. I
am NOT a fan of oval tracks, and that was BY NO MEANS the greatest race
of all time, but when the racing is simply entertaining, I simply watch.
I find F1 is just as exciting at 2 am during the re-run as it is live.
	As for Audi content, I am curious as to why the touring cars don't run
longer races. It seems like every time I catch a race on SpeedVision,
they are short, almost set up in 'heats'. Is this true and is there a
reason? The engines can't last? I have never been able to watch touring
cars before SpeedVision arrived at my house, so I am new, clueless, and
curious.
