BOXRPWR Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Been on basic cable T.V. for a couple of years now. Upgraded recently to a premium package with all the HD channels, etc.......including the Speed Channel. Watched 3 hours of the American LeMans Series today live from Laguna Seca raceway. What a blast! Man, those Audi TDI cars are torque-freakin-monsters! The Penske-Porsche cars were quick, lighter and could brake later making them fast through the twisties. But once the track straightened out just a bit.....zooooom away go those TDIs. Kick Ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TT- Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 ^ don't get used to it. since the network is owned by nascar, 98% of it's coverage is nascar live, nascar replays, nascar discussion, etc. you get the picture not to say that the other stuff they show isn't ok. it's just so ridiculous that they used to play WRC and now do not. same with a few other racing associations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason they only have this channel on a large concentration of hispanic population, which is not the case of Boston... Sucks!!!

nKoan Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 That's weird. Almost all the F1 races are live where I live. Also, I was at the ALMS race at Seca today Pretty cool that it was live. Since I've been going for the past 5 years, I can't totally remember, but I remember years previous being tape delayed by at least a few hours.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Too bad you did not watch it when it was speedvision it was MUCH BETTER IMHO... since they changed to speed it's about 90% Nascar all the time.. it seems like every time I turn to it Nascar is on.. And they took away rally racing.. but who cares Eurosport does a better job then Speed for rally footage anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Speed Channel used to be much better. More AMA coverage, snowmobile programs in the winter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
