To me the best racing I've ever seen was the RAC Rally in the UK.
...early morning forest stage, started before dawn... pitch dark, damned cold (early spring)... cars roaring through the dirt tracks of the Yorkshire forests at high speed... spectators right at the side of the track as cars scream by.
I was soooo cold, but the driving was the best I've ever seen.... negotiating trees at faster than road speeds in the dark is just amazing... being able to wander around the cars as they assemble before and after the race.. seeing the crews working on them... now that's a racing experience and requires skill.
...that was back in the days when the Audi Quattro dominated rallies.
