After over 13 years I've finally stopped watching the Australian Supercars series. I sure as hell wasn't getting ripped off by a monthly pay TV plan just to watch one thing. So while there's sometimes been multiple illegal streams out there, I got sick of being organised enough to watch live and I was depending on one guy (who amazingly spends some of his spare time literally dressed up as a pirate) to upload the videos. But the next event is coming up this weekend and my pirate dealer never came through for last month's round. So I'll take the gift of free time and maybe watch highlights at most.
Racing drivers do have some amusing moments or exciting battles on track, but I'm ready to admit that races tend to be quite dull overall. The interesting part for me was more the stats/record numbers of the drivers, the characters in the sport and seeing what they achieve/do/say next like it's some kind of neverending sitcom. If the same drivers and teams all switched to a championship for painting artwork or eating cheese it'd be no less entertaining. Probably more entertaining.
In those 13 years I think I saw every damn qualifying session and race (except for just a few sessions at the AGP events not being in the uploads or not televised). One of those things where I would've claimed I wasn't addicted and could stop at any time.
