Just in case anybody cares about CART racing...
The race at Road America this weekend is being covered exclusively in High Definition (1080i) for the first time. There will be no Standard Definition (480i) coverage. HDNet are using something like 21 cameras and, based on past efforts, the coverage should be excellent. They will be showing around 5 -7 hours each day as well. All the practices, support races etc. If you have an HD setup it is available on DirectTV and also on Dish (ch 9425) as a special deal. Should be the best TV coverage ever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Richard |

The limited HD broadcast may be a neat tech exercise, but I don't have the service so I will miss the telecast. I'm not inclined to start a TV upgrade for CART. Hell, when Bernie seemed determined to make F1 a pay-per-view digital extravaganza, I figured I'd say goodbye to F1. One thing I am concerned about is when CART was last on CBS about two weeks ago the local CBS station decided to run two hours worth of paid advertising instead of the race, even though the race was indicated in all of the local TV listings. I was PO'd! Now I wonder about future broadcasts. Of course I also wonder about CART's future!
