I was happy enough to miss a few laps of the F1 but I was glad to be
able to watch all the GP2. Damn good entertainment added to by fun
commentry from the Eurosport team. Great mix of talent and buffoons in
similar machines making the most of a poor track.

And I still have race2 to watch.


GP2 is great for three things, the talent, the occasional obnoxious mistakes
made by the talent and the cars; which are certainly more exciting to watch
because they lack the aerodynamic stuff that makes passing so tough in F1.

I'm really glad that we get it in North America, but we only get one of the
races and I think it's the second one, but I'm not sure.

It would be great if they could package it for a 2 hour session and not 1-1/2
hours, allowing it to be like what we see for the A1GP, where they show the
sprint race and then the second one.

Normally it's one at a brutally early hour for eastern time, 5:30 AM. But
that's why they have recorders!

It would also be nice if we had the Eurosport team and not the same people who
cover the F1 for SpeedTV.

I think they show the longer race and just do a quick highlights/recap
of the sprint race. IIRC that's what they did with Bahrain, and I
haven't watched my recording of the Barcelona round. I do wish they
would show both races. I think they did last year, but I'm not certain.

There's no choice. GP2. Those cars look fantastic and *move around* on
track.

GP2 or Champcar, now that's a harder one to call. Though I *do* love
that new Panoz chassis.
