Now this is a sports car forum, and we all have that in common, but what motorsport do you live that isn't road racing, autocross, etc.

Me? I cannot get enough of short course off road racing. You get powerslides, jumps, lots of crashing, rooster tails, and lots and lots of skill.

Living in Kentucky, it's required that I enjoy tractor pulling. Can't help it.

What about you?

If I was to actually start watching motorsports (unlikely) these would probably be interesting

Monster trucks. Seriously. I fell in love at the age of 3, Saw Gravedigger vs Bigfoot sometime back in the 80's, and again in the mid 90's, and at 33, I'm still in love.

I think so.

I like rally and offroad (Baja) stuff.

X Games Step Up. Not sure why, but I just find that event fascinating.

MotoGP. The last couple of seasons haven't been spectacular but there's always Moto2 and those guys are bonkers. Going to the race at COTA in the spring and I'm super excited. I also love rally raid and the current and past versions of Dakar. Bikes, cars, trucks, I love them all. Rally is good, but it was better a decade ago.

+1.

In fact, I'd probably chose to watch this over most types of car racing.

Does it count as a Motorsport if it is required that a motor be present but also mandated that the motor must be off during the competition portion?

Drag racing was my first love and will always hold the #1 spot in my heart. Then rally, and F1, and sprint cars on dirt.

do NASCAR Cup cars count as "sports cars"?

how about those big ol' swamp buggies that i used to watch every sunday morning on TNN in the early 90's?

In reply to mazdeuce:

This, the low grid count is killing the sport right now, but just youtube some of the old 500cc 2cycle stuff to the first few years of the 4 stroke change over (2001-ish) or just rent/buy Faster or Fastest (awesome documentaries) if that doesn't get you pumped then nothing will...
