Indianapolis 500 is still the single most-important race in the world for me. Fuck Daytona...

I do place Indy over Daytona, yes, but in the end I watch them both anyway

For me: Le Mans 24, Indy 500, Monaco GP, Daytona 500, Ezerburg Rodeo, Daytona 24, Dakar Rally, Sebring 12, Baja 1000, Mint 500, my super cool local professional go cart street race

In terms of highest Level racing: F1, WRC, WEC, FE, Indycar, NASCAR, IMSA, Moto GP, and then V8 Supercar, DTM, British Touring Cars, etc.

Formula E over IndyCar? Hell no.

 

F1 & IndyCar are the best, WEC is a joke given how Toyota has no competition and WRC is stupid under Super Rally rules. I miss the multiple factory teams competing in the 90s. Now it's a glorified privateer series.

In terms of action I'd place MotoGP far at the top anyway in the past two or three years.

Well, I’ve also grown to hate racing as a sport, so that my influence my views. I in terms of preferences: Endurance Racing, Open-Wheel, Rally/Enduro, Moto, literally every other type of racing, NASCAR

Endurance racing is at it's worst tbh. And I thought the Audi dominance was bad (and it sure was). There's some cool stuff in America but WEC is a joke, period.

The WEC was good for a while, but LMP1 has become a joke. LMP2 and GTLM are still pretty open though. IMSA is pretty competitive here in America. I’ve just always loved Endurance/Rally Racing

And don't forget GT3, it's very competitive.

Ok it doesn't count towards anything, but Jimmie Johnson finally has a win  He won the Clash at Daytona after unleashing this crash, followed by the remainder of the race (around 15 laps) being cancelled due to rain.
