Speed channel sucks!! Two hours of the Petit LeMans and then for the next five hours it's cars and trucks going in circles. Does anybody remember when it was Speedvision and they showed cool stuff all day everyday? What happened to the World ralley, DTM, Australian V8 touring cars, British touring cars, and nonstop coverage of races such as 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of LeMan and of course the Petit LeMan. Sorry for the rant I guess I just needed to vent a little.

NASCAR is the predominant motor sport in the US, by a huge margin. In order for Speed to keep up its ratings (and money) it pretty much HAS to cater to NASCAR. If it was profitable to show F1, SCCA, WRC, etc., they would show it.
That said, I don't watch it. We are in a niche group (at least for the US), and currently there is not a mass market outlet to cater to our relatively unique tastes. until someone thinks that other races are worthwhile, we will have to stick with the scraps on Amrican TV, or get a satellite receiver and start watching other nations' boob tube.

Zach I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you Zach. I know a much larger group of people that want to watch the races of F1 and WRC and MotoGP, but the biggest problem is that they do not advertise when they will be on at all. They have commercials going all day about when a NASCAR race will be on, but F1 you need to go to the menu to find out. For those who don't have DVR and such it is much more difficult to find this out. Then they play the events at the most inconvinent times. I think it is only because the people who own it now are NASCAR people and don't care about the rest. |
