To all the gear heads, what is your favorite motor sport if you had to choose between the two? What would you choose if you had the chance to drive in any of the two classes?
Remember, it's less about what sport has the better drivers, as they can't be really compared. Rallye has no safety net, cars are easier to handle, but F1 has a lot more G-forces and precision necessary during those G-forces. So it can not be compared directly.
I would choose Rallye. For the simple reason that it's raw, dirty and build on a car with a normal chassis. It's competitive but the drama around the drivers is way less. Less glory and more about the sport itself. More room for innovations and in terms of driving awareness, a lot harder than F1, where you know the track has 15 curves you drove through a couple hundred times already. Rallye you drove the curves 2-3 times a week or longer ago. You might be relying on a team mate telling you what's up next. Since then, rain, snow, drought. Never know what's behind the corner. No one to help you if something breaks down. That's raw motorsport for me. This whole package is what would lead me to Rallye instead of F1.
What's your choice and why?
