One of the things keeping me from getting into World Rally Championship is the lack of coverage compared to NASCAR or even Formula 1. I do understand that it's more difficult to film, but for a series which has arguably more insane drivers and is 3rd on the level of technical advancement (Behind F1 and WEC), I think we should be able to find a way.

There are other series that don't reach our shores or even our televisions. Be it DTM, WEC, V8 Supercars, or any other homologated series, we'd all love to have some texture to our options. So, what racing series would you watch if it was broadcast in a manner that would allow you to follow it?

I love watching touring cars, be it BTCC or WTCC, but I don't even know if it's shown in America

The difficulty with rally is that it's fairly tricky to get it to appeal to the casual viewer. In wheel-to-wheel racing, it's easy to see who's in front. In rally, knowing who's ahead requires a bit more understanding.

I love rally, and I really hope it stays around for a long time. I suppose what it needs is a properly great rivalry.

As for which racing series I'd love to see, I'm going to have to go with Chumpcar. It's like LeMons, but more like a real racing series. I'm intensely jealous that there isn't something like it here in the UK (that I've come across anyway). It's right up my street.

Agreed. BTCC is some of the most frenetic and exciting racing I've seen. Great stuff.

All the rallies, WTCC.

Thought about it, and yes, WEC.

Touring cars, sailing.. It's racing too, stadium trucks, and rally, but only the RAID category.
Do they even broadcast th Continental Tire series? Closest racing I've ever seen.
