They've already agreed to let Cadillac join the party and people like even numbers. Also, I believe the current agreement allows for up to 13-teams or 26-cars. I'm okay adding more teams, but I really want Monaco off the schedule. One of the worst races in all of motorsport (imo).

F1 is considered the pinnacle of motorsport because it has the fastest cars, most innovative development/engineering, and where the most money is. However, being the pinnacle doesn't mean the best.

The beauty of motorsport is the different flavors it offers. I think F1 is the pinnacle, IndyCar has the most parity, and Rally is the ultimate motorsport. Others have different views and that's okay, it's what makes racing so great!

And when you ask a NASCAR fan, which there are plenty of in the US, they will say that NASCAR is the best motorsport series with the most fun. In face they will say "racing is NASCAR". The door-to-door racing, the unpredictability, and the deep-rooted fan culture make it something special.

If you want to get a real sense of what NASCAR and its fans are all about, check out this video from the 2024 NASCAR Championship race. From the electric atmosphere of championship weekend to the way fans make it a lifelong tradition, the video captures what makes NASCAR unique.

At the end of the day, motorsport has something for everyone. Some love F1 for its cutting-edge technology, others enjoy IndyCar for its parity, and for many, NASCAR is the ultimate mix of speed, strategy, and fan passion. It is all about what you enjoy most, and that is what makes racing so great.

I grew up deep in NASCAR country and still watch it to this day. I've slowly lost touch with it because the gimmicks they've added over the years (playoffs, etc.) and frankly, I do not like the direction it is headed. For circle track racing, I've stuck to local dirt tracks over the years because the culture, racing, etc. has evolved in a great way while keeping to their roots.

And FWIW, I think Kyle Larson is the best driver in the world as he's proven he can drive anything to victory lane.
