F1 driver Ralph Firman got the most unique ride ever on the Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. A team of engineers strapped an F1 car to the chassis of one of the roller coaster's cars, then gave him the ride of his life. The stunt was a promotional event to promote the park's new Jordan Grand Prix ride.

P.S.S. I also thought this was cool, At first I thought it was a joke when I saw it on another site but I was amazed when it was true. I envy that guy who rode!

Yeah... it'd be refreshing to see one of those things do something other than turn left... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then left again... and then... and then... and then... and then... left again...

Only the oval series consistently provide competion that actually involves passing and close finishes.
The Winston Cup series makes left turns twice a year and consistently beats the road course specialists who come in to try to win those races. Add that to the fact that Jeff Gordon ran laps fast enough to get into the US Grand Prix at Indy in Montoya's F1 car.
CART is slowly becoming a poor mans F1, there is a reason all the teams continue to jump ship to the IRL.
My favorite racing to watch is likely WRC which bears so resemblance to any other form of racing out there.
However take the time to think about this, the NASCAR Winston Cup series races 38 weekends out of the year, from the first of February to the middle of November, on average each race is 400 Miles long and the race wekeend consists of 3 days at the track. One Sunday the race may be in California, the next Sunday in New hampshire. Name any other series that involves a scheduale as hectic and grueling as that. Also add to the fact that they do the things they do with technology from the 1960's and WC racing is pretty impressive.
On the other hand screamning V-12 engines that turn 20000 RPM's and are chock full of computer systems, involve travelling around the world, and carry prestige like no other series is pretty damn impressive as well.
To each his own I suppose, I just enjoy any kind of racing with the possible excpetion of Motorcycles and the Afformentoned CART.
