Just imagine how much it would cost to actually attend a MotoGP race! Also, the recorded version will have replays and close ups that are not possible when you are at the track. for watching a race I think the internet is much better than actually being at the race. I have been to a lot of races over the years at Sears Point, Ontario, and Laguna Seca as a spectator, and Vacaville, Cotati, Orange County, Laguna Seca, and Sears Point as a participant. This doesn't include the speedway and flat track events that I watched just for fun. I got to see some famous riders at notable tracks, and have some stories from that time but the recorded events show so much more than you can possibly take in when at the track. I will modify my statement here, the bigger races now usually have some big screens available for the audience, which provides more detail. Times have changed some.
