r/formula1 (about 6.9M members, directory rank #115) is a large independent Formula 1 community for race weekends, news and discussion. A smaller alternative F1 board and a different motorsport series each answer a different need.

Stay on formula1 for mainstream race-weekend talk. Use GrandPrixRacing for a smaller alternative F1 discussion board, and NASCAR when your interest is American stock-car racing.
