I can't watch ALMS anymore. The "green" crap, and contrived diesel dominance, annoys the hell out of me. And the coverage is mostly the prototypes.

I tried watching some Grand-Am racing. Those prototype cars are ugly as sin. There's another World Challenge race on today, so far it has been ok. The races are short, though, and the TV coverage compresses them even more.

It does seem like the more stock the class, the more interesting the race. Unfortunately it also mostly means econo-cars. It's weird that real sports cars tend to only run in highly modified form (on TV anyway).
