    I was just wondering what Motorsport series people here are following, f1, btcc etc curious as to what is the more popular ones outside of F1 are.

    I'm following F1, Nascar, Btcc, TUDOR United SportsCar Championship WEC and Pirelli WC.
    And Watching, Aussie V8s, Moto gp, Euro V8, Indycar, Gp2, Carrera Cup and WRC

    Not watching them all at the same time obviously :D

    Formula 1 and WRC for me.

    I also started racing Vees this year. A lad in work goes rallying so I keep an eye on that as well.

    F1, Nascar and Indycar mainly. GP2 if I have access to a Sky go sub, and then BTCC & WTCC if it happens to be on when I'm looking for a fix.

    F1 is the only series I'd actively follow (ie: not miss any qualifying/races, keep up to date with news, plan on attending a race, etc)

    Other than that, I'll watch WRC, IndyCar, GP2, GP3 and MotoGP when I stumble across it on TV.

    I will take an interest in DTM this year to follow how Di Resta is doing.

    F1, GP2, V8 Supercars (brilliant racing in this!), IndyCar, Indy Lights, ITCC, Road racing (motorbikes), WSB and MotoGP. Probably forgotten something.

    I was very disappointed he didn't get a drive this season. I would have thought he would possibly outscore at least a quarter of the current F1 grid, over the course of a season with equal machinery (such as: Chilton, Sutil, Guiterrez, Maldonado, Erikssen, Vergne)

    I'll be following DTM see how he gets on anyway. Hopefully he can win the championship there again and bounce back into F1, but I fear the ship may have sailed for him.

    I mostly watch F1 these days. I also keep an eye on MotoGP to see what's going on there. I tune into Nascar the odd time. I might start following DTM with di Resta now in it.

    Very true. Although look at Sutil. Almost everyone thought his F1 career was over a few short years ago. Look at him now!

    F1 and I will happily dedicate a weekend to Le Mans and I'd watch V8 Supercars when I have the channel.

    I'd take a passing interest and flick on to MotoGP WRC, IndyCar, DTM. Generally anything that is on aside from dirt bikes.

    ELMS : Matt Griffin / Murphy Prototypes
    ALMS/IMSA : Damien Faulkner / Matt Griffin

    Mainly following Rally and Rallycross; WRC & ERC, with a few Irish events if I find the time. I also keep an eye on how Irish drivers and teams are doing in other series like endurance and WSB.

    Followed both the European and Global Rallycross last year and was happy to see the sport coming back in a big way. Was surprised there was very little mention of and Irishman Derek Tohill winning the European championship in the Touring cars. Looking forward to the new World championship with Tohill stepping up to the Supercars. Also good to see an Irish company, Galway Carbon, making a name for themselves in the RX world, they are supplying at least 3 teams I know of with parts for the new world series!
