When you think motorsports, most Singaporeans, depending on their age group and how cool they are, will almost everytime mention Formula 1. Then you get go-karting.

 

Unlike most of Europe and even Asia, the local motorsports scene is still in it's infancy, but has been growing with the acceptance and popularity of the annual drift events, go-karting championships and the impromptu races on the expressway with a young punk Civic driver.

 

All aside though, we're pretty much well behind most of the world in that area. Even on the quality of motorsports on tv.

 

Sure sure Formula One is the epitome of motorsports blah blah but seriously guys, the races have become more boring since I started following it religiously about 4 years ago.

 

I now find myself dozing off during races and I'm not talking about the recent Canadian GP.

 

This year's Le Man's was stacking up to be another nail-biter and I was casually short-listing my options on how I could watch the race live. Couldn't find a streamer online that was reliable enough and Starhub's cable lost rights to F1, so generally assumed it lost the license to televising most other races of importance as well - until I stumbled upon channel Euro Sports.

 

I taped the post-race telecast and watched it one sunny afternoon. It was great! I thought I was one of the few people who were lucky enough to venture into the unknown world of channels ranging from 100 to 300.

 

And then I caught BTCC.

  • GoalFest: The Premier League’s highest scoring games

    For all the intricacies of today's footballing landscape, with managers employing unusual tactics - think Pep Guardiola fielding four centre backs - and a greater emphasis on playing it out from the back, the greatest joy a game can give its viewers is still a goalfest, where chaos reigns supreme and the net never seems to stop bulging. And Manchester United's recent 4-4 draw with Bournemouth at Old Trafford has reignited that spark. Indeed, this scoreline is by far the most common in terms
