I'm going to Matterly Basin for the GP in a couple of weeks but I also plan to watch the races at some point after the event on TV. I do this so I can see all the racing from all around the track (even though Matterly has excellent viewing) and if I miss something coz your eyes can't be everywhere at once. I'm I hardcore or a hardcore nerd lol?

Guess the TV cannot capture the atmosphere so much as watching live (or the exact track conditions) but you do get to see most of the track, unlike if you are watchling live.
Amazing really to think back to the limited coverage that used to be available, say in the 1980's to the amazing footage of what we have nowdays! Funny though, folk still seem to be able to complain about it!
Furthermore... I would really like to be able to buy old seasons on blu Ray... instead of binge watching GOT I would rather binge watch the sx season from 97, or 02, etc...
Is it technically possibly though to 'enhance' the original films into that high a quality? Would imagine there is a cut off point, where this is possible?
I got a bluray player- never, ever used it in about 3 years! (not sure why I got it really!)
I watched practice but had to leave, chills, sweats, etc. Threw up like I haven't done since I was a kid when I went back to the truck to rest... Then took a shit load of gravol and went back for the night show. I was so out of it I could hardly keep track of how the race was going, but the crowd was going nuts in the 450 main, I couldn't figure out why... It was Stewarts epic come back from last place. I had to watch it online the next day just to see what I missed. Shitty part was I was sitting in the rhythm section he was nailing better than anyone else all night and I missed it!
But I also never watch the races live on TV. I save them for the next day so I can skip the commercials.

Couldn't wait to get home and to watch it on tv again, allthough you had to be there to really get the feel on how gnarly fast he was going
...plus catching yourself on TV...lol
