What does 2011 hold in store for motor-sports?

2010 was a great year for motor-sports, no denying that. F1 was as good as I remember it being in a long time regarding the championship. The BTCC gave us a great championship battle too, with a record number of championship contenders on finals day. NASCAR gave us Jimmie Johnson's fifth title, making him an undeniable master of stock car racing. Arguably it was a great year for motor-racing.

So the question is, can 2011 live up to such standards?

I think it can. I am optimistic about the future of motor-racing, despite the onset of environmentalist attitudes and the need to be green, or at least seen to be trying. Long time readers know I think Hydrogen really is the future of the planet, and I believe that cost-cutting regulations and more teams means we can once more relive the "golden age" of motor-racing as such twenty or so years ago.

I believe the future is bright for sim-racing too. It has begun to be taken seriously as a competitive and challenging series. You only have to look at iRacing and its official NASCAR Sanctioned Series for that.

2011 is going to be a great year. Watch out for it!
