What makes F1 so fun for me?

f1, formula 1, Fun, english
Like the song, Formula 1 (and World Rally Champinship) it's just fun for me, but why? I will start by saying what an old friend said once: F1 is fun because it's a mixture of a lot of sensations: Smelling hot rubber from the spinning wheels. Watching all those colours like a Kandisky painting. Feeling the stomach roaring, not because of hunger, but because the engines produce such feeling when speed reaches 200 Km/h, or when the lights are out and cars fight all along the main straight. Hearing the sounds of huge engines running. And of course, eating some meatloaf while watching the race, coupled with a cold beer.
Those tyres burning, spinning in the black pavement, or throwing rocks when in gravel, are one of the most beautiful things of autoracing. I can still remember those 80's TV series, when in every episode was a car chasing, and the "wheel camera" suggesting that only the wheel was moving and the suspension was giving the car that "bad boy" look. I guess those are the images, the sparks, that made me love cars in the first place. And I still love those car chasing escenes!

I never watch a autorace, but I can image that scene, because I enjoy cold beer also when I have spent hours playing basketball.
I wish I could enjoy the autorace someday.
