There's some kind of vintage sports car racing on Speed Channel right now and there are a few beautiful teeners screaming around a track (in Europe I think) holding their own with some serious racing machines. Check it out.

Very cool! I just saw a yellow GT that looks like I hope my car will in a few years.

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!, I just saw it orange GT

Cool... I just caught it in time to catch a few glimpses of the yellow GT.

Schweet!

SCREW!!!!
F'n Comcast, I cant evan GET "SPEED" (The Nascar) Channel!

Did you see the Silver 914/6 in the last course race

2002 LeMans in on now and something else on LeMans after that

on again at midnight, gonna tape it

Arggh...Tivo failed me

The "problem" with Speed Channel vs. Tivo is that they call just about EVERYTHING "Auto Racing". If I told Tivo to grab all "Auto Racing" I would have about 200 hours a week of NASCAR/WINSTON crap, or endless WRC rally segments, LOL.

Hopefully I can catch the re-airing...

I was watching it while pulling a CPU. Fortunately, I had the living room tube tuned to Speed, so I went in and hit the record button. I'll watch it tonight. Thanks for the heads up gang. It did look like a cool program, but I was too busy to catch it at the time. Now I know what to look for when I watch it.

It was ok...had about 15 seconds of 914 footage. But regardless it was a cool show...not worth waiting up till the midnight show...

That was the Tour de France de Automobile, a series of speed limit rallies, full bore rallies and on track racing. It'll be on again. There were 2 914s of note, the silver and the orange. Some nice 911s as well as the Ferraris, Alfas, etc.

The silver six kept up with hte lead pack and was doing a respectful job of racing.

Its on at misnight again tonight right?

eastern? central?

I gotta catch that

I guess there are still a few 914s left in Europe. I think I saw a third (yellow) one in the event.

Thanks for posting that, Jeff. I'm sorry I missed it... but maybe they'll replay this weekend.

We should all email Speed Channel and their advertisers tell them how much we LIKED them doing that show. Positive reinforcement works.

was it all Porsche, or was it all makes?

i watched a show on SPEED, abut the newest 911. it showed a racing version flying around a POC race. spun out and took out a ritchie ginther style 914.....almost cried

Google translation of a write-up by the driver of the silver Six that did so well:

If you don't catch it Rusty I'll save it and we can watch when you come over to poweder coat suspension.

I checked Speed's website and it doesn't look like it's playing again soon.
