F1 is by far the most viewed motorsport in the world, and has been for decades.

you probably already have a 2 stroker that runs over 10K.......
my 2 stroke Stihl weed eater engine runs at close to 11,000 rpm ..I could get a little more out of it with some exh work..

Based on a lifetime of experience, the primary function of a two-stroke has always been to turn dino squeezins' into smoke and noise. Locomotion was just a somewhat useful byproduct. When I was a kid, Sears was still selling Allstate branded Puch split-piston singles.
Does anyone have any info on how they have now become fuel efficient and quiet?
I understand that that they can lube the crank with a more conventional "pump and sump" system.
Most of the things that I listed above:
-direct injection
-reed valve intake
-variable exhaust ports
have been around for quite some time now.
What has changed the game?[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 01-19-2020).]

The Detroits are series 50 & 60 four strokes nowadays.
GM no longer owns DD and as far as I know, the only DD 2 strokes being made are for the military and are classified 'off road'..

Yeah, I've driven Series 60's and actually like the feel of them better than Cummins. They make real good power starting down around 8-900 rpm. I remember when they first came out. It was a big deal.

Not just the most viewed motorsport, it's the second most watched sport in the world... last I checked (in this order):
FIFA Soccer (Football)
Formula-1
Cricket
American Football

How is that even possible.
22 races, compared to a few hundred nascar races a year. remembering, the long list of series under the nascar banner.
And they all get t.v. coverage wheelen mods/ k&n/arca/ trucks/ ixfin/cup/pinty/nascar mexico/ American/Canadian series/etc.

Because people all over the world watch F1.
NASCAR and other types of American motor racing is very regional in its appeal.
