An excerpt from this site:
The endless stream of discussion in magazines, on websites and between fans about deadly dull Grand's Prix, and just what it is we are supposed find exciting, was brought sharply into focus for me by watching a video of the 2003t World Superbike round at Silverstone.
Now I realise this event was over a week ago and so hardly burning hot news, but forgive me if I use it to compare what now constitutes motor sport as televised entertainment. What was offered up at Silverstone, was absolutely brilliant. It was wonderfully entertaining, it was superb sport and there wasn't a pit stop, a strategy or a quirky qualifying procedure in sight - nor any dubious weather. In short it had everything that we would want to see in Formula One, but never do, and it produced such a spectacle without any of the fudging and faking we have been getting increasingly subjected to over the past decade. It was the real thing. One wonders if Formula one is capable of the real thing any longer? Or is it just faking it? * http://www.simonlewis.com/motorsport/f1-fake.htm Yes its all fake
