Also, the 2011 Sprint Cup decider at Homestead. Stewart vs. Edwards dueling it out. Maybe not the best ever, but it was intense.

Yes it was. This years BTCC finale was pretty good. All three races had drama but race 3 was something else. It was win or bust for Shedden, while at the same time Jordan had to come through the field (after his race 2 retirement) in order to deny Shedden.

Things like that happen rarely in a lifetime. That will never get boring to watch.

Those finishes were amazing. I'm glad I had the luck to see both of them live!

Yeah I thought the same. I guess the need for professionalism and remembering they are representing some corporation with their attitudes and public displays of mood and anger / rage are such a no no and not clever.

I thought he had done enough to be honest.... after all Schu won a British GP by coming into the pits on the last lap, knowing to get to his pit box he had already crossed the finish line. :whistling:

2007. Kimi overcoming the McLaren duo duelling each other by just a single point was almost hilariously interesting.
