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.

As many people as there are that are fans of F1, LeMans, MotoGP, etc., there are more people in this country that consider themselves NASCAR fans. Period. "Speed" does their research. They choose their programming to maximize sponsorship and profits. If they could realize the same margins broadcasting more "international" types of motorsport, they would. But they don't so they won't.
And it sucks... |

But they don't so they won't. And it sucks... The sponsorship is so well rewarded. Those rednecks buy everything they can from the sponsors they see on those cars. And how visible are those banners are ...er I mean cars with the product logos and brand names on them, while the cars go round and round for hours. It's just easier to follow and the cars are large enough for huge graphic displays. |
