Have really got into Formula 1, anything else out there just as exciting?

So I’m assuming you’re Irish cos this is an Irish website. You want something as exciting as formula 1. Well sir I’m going to introduce you to the best motorsport on the planet and it’s on your door step. Have you ever heard of Irish road racing? It’s motorbike racing on normal everyday roads around Ireland that get closed for a weekend kind of like a rally. It’s the scariest and rawest form of motorsport. It’ll make any of them formula 1 boys look like ballerinas. They close a series of roads to create a circuit. It’s just a normal road lined with trees, Stone walls, houses, signs ect. If you drive past it on your way to work then they race by it at 200+mph. Guy Martin is one of the more famous road racers and he said “if you make a single tiny mistake then you’re dead , I like that sort of thing “. It’s the most dangerous sport on a planet because if they fall off that bike there isn’t any gravel traps or run off space. It’s trees and walls and it’s very often that riders will die from a crash. And that’s what makes the sport soo exciting. It’s like formula 1 back in the early days when drivers knew a crash could kill them. That’s what made old formula 1 great. It was what made those men heroes. How they can race on the limit knowing they are on the thin line between success and tragedy. And that what road racing has always been. It’s better then f1 because these are normal every day people who you’re watching. Most of them have normal day to day lives to pay for their racing. It’s not money who decides who wins like in f1. It’s who is the bravest rider and willing to push the line between life and death. In 2014 in f1 at the Australian gp the average speed on the fastest lap was 128.27 mph. In 2019 at the Ulster Grand Prix which is on a 7 mile circuit just outside Belfast, Peter Hickman set an average speed of 136.415 mph. The tt Isle of Man is the biggest race which is on a 37 mile circuit and then average speed there is 135.62 mph again by Peter Hickman (he’s kinda fast). One race is in a car with 4 wheels on a wide open race track. The other is on a motorbike. 2 wheels. And a narrow tree lined road. The top speed at the Ulster Grand Prix is somewhere around 205mph. And then best part is you can stand in a field beside the road. Only an arms width away from the bikes. You can feel the heat off the bike as it screams past and if you are stupid enough and don’t mind losing a limb you could reach out and touch the bike. There are many races around Ireland. The biggest ones are the northwest 200 which goes from portrush to portstewart and then down to coleraine and back up to portrush. Then there is the Ulster Grand Prix near Belfast. That’s the best race in my opinion. There is the skerries 100 in Dublin. Kells road races in Meath. You have armoy road races in Antrim. That was on about 2 weeks ago. There is cookstown 100 which is up north again and if you see this post in time you could still get tickets to the race. It’s on in September. You can find information if you look up cookstown 100 on Facebook. There is a road race in cork too. And walderstown in west Meath. There is faugheen road races in Tipperary. Also enniskillen road races and I’m probably forgetting 1 or 2. Then the biggest race of them all which you might of heard of is the tt Isle of Man. That’s a different beast altogether. Usually 2 riders lose their lives chacing their tt dreams each year. That’s my recommendation to you anyway. Check it out. I recommend watching the 2019 Ulster Grand Prix on YouTube. There is a great race between lee Johnston and peter Hickman. It was a great race. And then obviously the tt is another great watch. It’s a spectacle to watch. Anyway hope you give it a look. It’s true
