That's wrong. There are some GPs that are scheduled consecutive Sundays, some are two Sundays apart, and some up to three weeks between.

For example, the British GP isn't until June 30.

Yeah I know.

But I don't start watching until Monaco.

I do like the Melbourne race however.

You're missing great races if that's your starting point. Spain, for example, is awesome.

that is awesome. It's staggering how much faster they are. The Ferrari Challenge guys and Porsche GT3 Cup racing that were the support races for F1 in Austin looked like they were go carts in comparison.

Honest question: Saturday night I caught a glimpse of not Nascar cars on a circle race track in Dallas that I thought was interesting. I then tried to watch the Montreal thing yesterday but could not keep interest. What is the difference in the two that I watched?

I've never seen a Nascar race either, so I guess I am just confused in general. Perhaps I should Google it instead.

I'm trying to talk the wife into having a date weekend for the US GP this year. You went last year, yes?

F1 is a very different beast. Honestly, if my Dad hadn't gotten me up at the crack of ****ing dawn to watch when I was a boy, I probably wouldn't watch now. It's an acquired taste to be sure. It is the epitome of motorsport, however, at least from a ME standpoint.
