    I think, as with many unpopular opinions, the unpopular part is rooted in the unnecessary comparison and nothing more.

    It’s a lazy way to craft an unpopular opinion imo.

    That said RC racing looks cool. Definitely has elements of racing at a macro scale, kind of like playing Motorsports Manager versus playing iRacing.

    Sim racing can be a lot of fun to watch too - actual F1 and NASCAR stars often comment in them. Imonve heard a driver call Cubans Barrichello a rookie during the warm up lap!

    One overtake in the whole race, looks about the same to me 🤷🏼‍♂️

      I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I think it’s the shorter race duration and the smaller track that makes it easy to take in all the action. In real races, super fast cars on long tracks look slow on video.

    As someone whose preferred position to watch car racing would be lying on the road, I disagree. At least a normal race might have a crash or something, that was not interesting at all.

    The marble racing on the other hand, absolutely.
