As some of you may know, I'm travelling with the circus this year. Since I'll be gone until Mid-November I turned off my satellite television service. The hotels where we stay don't get SPEED channel and I'm gonna miss seeing F1.

Can anyone here record it for me? DVDs would be great...hmmm I've got an idea. If someone here wants to record it (and maybe practice and Qualifying, too) I'll send you a DVD recorder to do it with and some blank disks as well.

I've got an address in Florida that will forward to the circus wherever we go.

Anyone interested?

Image quality is normally excellent. But it varies based on who initiated the torrent. Here is an example of what I normally see:
Widescreen
Video: XVID 720x416 25.00fps 1117Kbps
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128Kbps

As far as file sizes, qualifying is usually around 500 MBs. Race day is usually around 1 GB.

I also use torrents for following WRC since Speed dropped it. Three day WRC events are normally between 700-750 MBs.

If you want to give it a try, here is the season finale in Brazil. This one is in 4:3, not widescreen.
