As for why the interest in it. I hate to say this, but a friend once put it to me this way, "Its a guys equivelant of a Soap Opera, seein who does what to who and how bad they piss someone off."
I hate that explanation, but Id imagine thats the appeal of it for alot of people. Not me mind you, but alot of people. I like it for the racing. Everyone says, boring, turn left, turn left. Most of those people dont have a concept of how fast these cars and the drivers are moving. Yeah, they turn left a couple times a lap, but they do that at nearly 160 - 170 mph after slowing down from nearly 200 mph when they are on the gas.
I think that if alot of people truly knew how fast that is, theyd have more appreciation for the sport and more wonder for how they do it time after time.
As a fan, Ill admit its hard to watch a whole race, they can get boring, but usually theres always something happening to someone, and it can be fun to see how they handle whatever it is, and see how the rest of their day is gona be.
