I absolutely love V8 Supercars, those Ford Falcons are incredible and the racing is the most exciting competition on television. So excited that they will be racing 6 races annually in Austin, TX, starting in 2013.

I would watch more if it were televised on "normal" channels (i.e., not Internet sites). I don't have time to fart around with trying to get that **** working on my PS3, and the one time I tried it, it looked like crap. If I can't DVR it and watch it later, forget about it. This results in many missed ALMS races because of their dumbass coverage plan this year.
Am I the only one who likes short course trucks and buggies? Actually, I could care less about the race, I just watch it for the 5 second per episode of Keli Snyder, she's purdy.
I also like Dakar when it's on and any Baja coverage. ROC is fun to watch too, and I'll watch some drifting if I can find it. I do have X-Games set to record, I hope the rally course doesn't suck like last year.
It only comes once a year here, but it was crazy live, getting sprayed with dirt, the noise, and you can really appreciated the speed when you're right there in person.
What TV provider do you have that actually shows Aussie V8 SuperCars, BTCC, and DTM? I don't think any channel on U-verse shows those, but I would love to be wrong.
OK, now it's time to start the debate about which one is the purest test of diver skill. We know that all of them require a lot of skill and experience to be good, but which one is toughest.
Of course, I say it's WRC. To win a championship you have to be good on all surfaces. You don't drive the same corners over and over again. The driver's brain has to be totally focused on the words of the co-driver, there's is very little margin for error. I'd also say it's the most exciting to watch.
After saying that, I must point out that the lower levels of rally put me to sleep. When they show the Rally World show and go through all S2000, and the junior stuff and academy drivers. I'd love the chance to compete at those entry levels, but I have no interest in watching it on TV. That Australian girl is sure cute though.
There is no argument, the best and most versatile drivers are in the WRC.
Go back prior to the 1980s or so and it's a whole different story though since drivers regularly competed in a variety of different venues sometimes even on the same weekend.
