I found the Marbula 1 series to be a good waste of time:

As a bonus compared to F1, anyone (any marble?) has a chance of winning, and none of them are named Lewis Hamilton.

Ha. My 6 year-old started binging those videos. (As well as the dude who videos himself and his GF playing mini-golf.)

So of course I also got sucked in watching for an evening.

It's definitely been my go-to for racing action. Like you said, the way the tracks are set up, anything can happen in 10 laps.

Gawd...whats the sidewall dimension on that Yagermeister? 400/05/20?
I've secretly been watching these matchbox videos for the last two days, and laughing my ass off, but you didn't hear that from me.

That Rally racing series linked by the OP is awesome.

The polished presentation and announcing are what make it so cool.
