That would be so cool, but I don't want to have to clean my shorts every time I go for a drive.

Why would anyone want an F1 engine is my question. It would perform like *** anywhere but the circle-track.

It might be ok as long you have a team of mechanics to constantly look after it and you don't mind always driving above 15k rpm

.... and replacing it every 1000 miles.

I'm actually not a fan of how they sound this year. The blown diffuser mapping business makes them sound awful in person. Lotus-Renault (Petrov/Heidfeld not the other Lotus) and the Mercedes' sound broken when they're off throttle. I'm looking forward to the new turbo regs

I honestly never got into F1 or NASCAR or anything. Mainly, I enjoy watching videos of production cars hammering the 'ring or Leguna Seca and the like. You know, something I might be able to actually own one day, basically.

I like it. It's spectacle. Watching F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, GT or Le Mans... It's all good fun to watch hardcore tuned racing vehicles do their thing.

But I agree that it's also nice to watch genuinely stock sports cars going hard around race tracks or challenging public roads. One of the reasons I love Top Gear so much is that they have challenges in some beat up 80's car.
