    Thanks to your posts (and Kimi and Jens racing) I watched the 'race'.

    Suffice to say I won't watch another. I used to play bumper-cars at the fairground as a kid.
    However I grew out of it.

    Yeah, less than totally pleasing.
    Sure reminds me of why I left racing tin-tops back in 2003
    and went back to the relatively 'no-contact desired'
    sports racers / prototypes.

    That is why you should prefer NASCAR on the 1, 1 1/2, and
    2 mile ovals. Pure high speed ballet and 4 wheel drift.

    That end restarts at COTA was like being stuck in and endless
    loop of Bottas start at Hungary in 2021, him rear ending and
    ping ponging the Red Bulls and McLaren. (That ought
    to teach them to get better starts than him!!)

    "Competition/Debris" cautions and the GWC (green, white, checker) rule
    has taken a lot away from the enjoyment for real fans. A lot of finishes
    are just basically a luck of the draw. For some reason NASCAR believes "viewers" want to see the wrecks and chaos it creates.
