Yes, depends on location though. I did get enough of a break in traveling to catch friday practice for Monaco, that was about it.

F1 is cool. The Monaco GPX was a good race too - lots of carnage, and the safety car right before the finish kind of threw things for a loop, so it was interesting all the way to the finish .

I like that GP bikes and F1 share some of the same engine technology. F1 is definately the pinnacle of engineering and technology.

I don't know if you have seen the video, but the Renault car that they rev and it does a song while shooting blue flames. Quite amazing. I think it would be fun to plan a vacation to Europe to go see a race. Hit up the ring while I'm there too.

Btw watching it in HD on 55in Plasma with 5.1 is pretty sweet. Theres just no other way to watch it.

Yeah i've always been into F1. McClaren all the way. I don't want to see any bandwagoners trying to hop on our train...it was messed up last year.

When we had that long drought from 1998....

Time/place would be the same for me. I usually DVR the races if its too late at night.
