The Monaco Grand Prix, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours.

There are many reasons why one should be your favourite. Which is the most significant in modern-day motorsports? Which is the hardest to win? Which is the best spectacle?

I really don't enjoy the Le Mans as much as I should... Might be the long duration... I dunno, I never really liked endurance races that much...

Voted for Indy but Monaco is good as well. But I thought the triple crown included the F1 championship as well?

I have been to Le Manns and the atmosphere is amazing

I'd love to go to Le Mans. It's always been difficult because it takes more than a weekend and with teaching you can't take holiday . But if I did go it would be a one off experience. Monaco I watch year in year out.....as I do all the races because F1 is the series I love and follow. So it has to be Monaco. Watching it live is on my list of. ' things to do before I die'

Where would you like to watch it from if you went? Lots of good places to situate yourself!

Purely from a spectacle aspect, Monaco. I'd watch it on the deck of Flavio's boat. :twisted:

Purely from a racing standpoint, no question it would be Le Mans.

Oooo. I don't know. I'd love to be at one of those rooftop swimming pools

but back to reality. That tall stand as they come out the tunnel looks good. Hmmm, I'd have to study the track really carefully, I forget how the bits all join together. But if I went choosing the place would be an exiting part of it.
I had the chance to go on a yacht once for the F1 race and I didn't go, long story. STPID STUPID GIRL!!! :banghead:

I love all three races. As I'm not just a F1 nut, but a lover of motorsport in general, and I watch loads of different series I had to vote for all.

I love Monaco for the sheer concentration levels the drivers have to maintain throughout - a truly old school dangerous circuit, the last one left in F1 really.

I love Indy for the fact that each year it's more than just the regular drivers that can have a shot - each year old faces come back, non-regular drivers can give it a go, and winning is never a certainty for the leader even after the final corner.

I love endurance racing for the fact that it's a real team sport, and doesn't tend to have any primadonnas - those guys are true professionals. I also like the fact than unlike so many formulae, there is no unhealthy obsession with youth, and that drivers can remain competitive and get a seat well into their 40's if not 50's.

Favourite racing series: F1, Indycar, NASCAR, GP2, F3, Formula E, Trophee Andros, DTM, WTCC, BTCC, World Endurance... etc. etc.
