So, with Speed delaying the WSBK races, I thought I'd ask the question.

Me, I don't care. Looking back on Colin and Bayliss, many of those races I knew who the winner was in advance, but there were still some of the best races I've ever seen.

I don't care, unlike NASCAR or F1 the leader usually doesn't lead the whole race, and passing is the game to me.

Am I wierd? :angel:

I don't care either. It's watching the race that's the fun part.

In last season's MotoGP, I often knew who was going to win before watching my recorded race. Still, it was great fun seeing how Rossi did it...stalk....stalk...stalk....eh, enough of thees-a, I go now... :-D

Probably... but I doubt it is related to your race watching habits :-P

I can still enjoy a race if I know who wins, but it is better if I don't. It just adds that extra little bit of excitement, the sitting on the edge of your seat factor. Admittedly, with MotoGP, there wasn't much on the edge of your seat type stuff, unless you watched the 125 and 250 races!!

Adios,

Adios,

I agree with Scott here. Last year, with the new kid and all I ended up wathching a lot of rerun or delayed races that I already new the results from. While I still enjoyed them it would have been much better not knowing the results. It seems that as often as not there is some real excitement on the last lap and it is always best to be suprised.

Last year was the first time I even had the option to see a race, let alone worry about seeing it after reading about the results. Up to that point, I was waiting for the review to show up several months after the season was over, just so I could see racing motorcycles not in still photos. Even so, last year I got to see races about a day later. Much more fun than reading about a race in SR or CW.
