The other thing that WEC has that Formula 1 doesn't is the chaos and excitement caused by multiple classes of car competing at the same time. It's not just a matter of negotiating your car around all the other cars that are pretty much identical to yours. You have to negotiate around cars that are both slower and faster. Dealing with traffic is a major aspect of WEC, and it's something that's entirely lacking from F1.
- mr_justin 10y agoAbsolutely. I mean, could you imagine F1 drivers having to negotiate the track with the 911s, Astons & Corvettes? They'd throw a damn hissy fit. Not only does it make the race exciting from logistics/entertainment perspective, but at any given time there are multiple first place battles occurring. It's hugely entertaining.
- kirse 10y agoIf you like the chaos and excitement of WEC you should come on over to WRC. $5/month for 3-hours of live streaming HD content per Rally, including full on-board cams for every major driver and stage: https://plus.wrc.com/ https://plus.wrc.com/ I mean c'mon, Kris Meeke with an accidental exit into a car park with just a few corners to go while leading Rally Mexico. You can't get much more exciting than that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECS_GXIJ200 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECS_GXIJ200
- quanticle 10y agoI already have :) WRC is fantastic. At this point, I think I'm supposed to whine about how "modern rallying doesn't hold a shadow to Group B" :)
- Gravityloss 10y agothe map readers are the best thing in rally. Well, and the spectators who push the cars from ditches and turn them right side up again etc...
