    (This is the first time I start a topic on Tildes, so feel free to point out any errors I made doing this.)

    After the last race especially, there was a lot of talk about how corrupt the FIA is and how they rig results to make for a more ‘entertaining’ product. While I don’t know how much truth those specific allegations hold, I found this article especially illuminating in revealing the inner workings of the FIA and explaining the reason behind the recent firings. It’s worse than I thought.

      I hope these amendments are voted down and Ben Sulayem and his corrupt cronies are shown the door after the coming election.

    Yikes. The corruption and stupidity just keeps getting worse. Might just stick to Indycar from now on, I really don't feel comfortable supporting people like this

      I considered the same thing. But it seems that indycar is a lot harder to follow where I live (Belgium). How do you follow indycar?

        Can recommend MotoGP, it's just a more athlete sport in that sense that they do rely less on the vehicles than say in F1. The feeder series are especially close when it comes to racing, Moto2 and...

        That's quite funny, I actually use a VPN in Belgium to watch! IndycarLive, which is Indycar's streaming service, shows every session in Belgium.

        Not sure if there's a cable option, or if the streaming will change next year since Fox acquired the media rights

            I only use it for streaming, so I just use NordVPN - it's great for that case because you can easily choose and change your VPN location at any time
