You beat me to it, i was about to start a thread here in off topic about this. It would be nice to once again have an alternative to speed/nascar tv. Maybe i can start watching the rolex seris, alms, and wrc again and live.

I voted too, thanks for the link. In the mean time there is a great torrent site http://www.racing-underground.com/ . Most races are available a few hours after they air and pretty much every televised race (from around the world) is available on the site.

I agree. Most of SpeedVision programming begins at the lowest common denominator, then goes downhill from there.
There's gotta be some way of producing these shows without blatantly pushing product on the audience. I'm talking about what goes around the real ads. Maybe they need a different type of sponsor? Does that new racing channel want instant audience? Just find sponsorship to show the British show, Top Gear, then fill the rest of the programming schedule with F1, WRC and other like racing coverage. Maybe team up with Versus who broadcasts the Tour De France and other cycling events. I'm sure they need more numbers to expand. Sherwood |
