If only Howard Cosell were still alive. Boy, I'm really dating myself!
I've loved it too. Sure, much of it has been childish, but it adds elements of both drama and humor. The race itself is exciting but, really, how much can you talk about someone's acceleration at the line or how they flew down a descent? It's the crashes and the trash-talk and the strategical intrigue that make it really fun.
