I was never really into racing before. I also didn’t have cable for some time growing up so I couldn’t have seen it anyways. Plus, I grew up in Nascar country and I never saw the thrill of watching cars drive around in ovals. Even after doing fundraisers for scouts and band at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Then in 2007, I woke up hung over to a roaring sound downstairs. I figured someone was watching some crap on tv and wanted them to turn it down. I went downstairs and saw the race on but I can’t remember for the life of me what circuit. One of my roommates saw my expression, poured me a bloody mary, and told me to suck it up and watch the race. Being an engineer and recovering from the hangover, I asked a bunch of questions as I found a lot of it interesting. I’ve been watching ever since.
My introduction seems much more different than everyone else’s.
I believe the internet should only be used for serious business so as such, I support pictures displaying serious stuff.
I’m usually more interested in the names people go by instead. So I started a thread about it.
I started off a McLaren fan because one of my roommates was English and introduced me to the sport. It was also around the same time I saw Hamilton’s time on Top Gear too and was impressed. Had USGPE actually managed to do something, they’d be my team since I grew up about an hour outside of Charlotte.
But I’ve been spreading out a good bit now as well with Williams, Fernandes Lotus, Renault, Force India, and recently Sauber. I’m much more of a driver fan though than team fan but it happens those teams have most my drivers.
