I'm planning on doing grassroots drifting in the near future, but rally often makes me "OOOH" and "AAAH". Such impressive control over a variety of terrain.

While (WRC) rally is interesting to watch for the driving and car control, the fact that it's Time Trial makes it less enjoyable.
So I prefer Formula 1 because it's an actual race. Everybody races at the same track at the same time, first one to cross the finish line wins. Overtaking is a thing. And the race can change on a dime with changing weather conditions and tactics for pitstops, accidents etc. Of course some tracks can be dreadfully boring where it just becomes a static endurance run from start to finish, but when the racing is good it's so exciting.
When I was a kid there was Rally Cross shown on national TV. I wish they'd bring it back. They raced a few laps around the track. The cars look like normal cars, they banged in to eachother, the tracks were half dirt half asphalt, the teams were part amateurs and part professional teams
Those are very good points.
I've got several friends that prefer Formula 1, probably for the same reasons. They recommend those races to both enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike.
