Ok maybe I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off base here and I'd love it if some one would prove me wrong but.........
It seems Speed TV has crapped all over another racing series. First it was V8 Super cars....lets move the races to the middle of thursday afternoon so those people that are at work can't bloody watch it!
Then it was Dakar Last year and this year...lets just not show it all together because it's only the toughest race in the world and surely no one cares. (thank you OLN for picking it up)

Now it's the WRC...eons ago shown at the middle of sunday afternoons...then moved to a crappy but able to deal with..9:00pm sunday night then shifted to 11:00pm (like no one has to get up early for work)

Now it seems it's been dropped all together...thank you SPEED "NASCAR is the only racing series in the universe" TV

I really hate that channel so bloody much now!!!!!!


Please someone prove me wrong! I've check the Speed Schedules and it looks like it's MIA!


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

No . . . you are correct. If the France family didn't own the Rolex series SPEED probably wouldn't show more than 2 hours of the race today (Daytona 24 Hours). I think it's time for a SPEED2 channel . . . . .

 

man that channel burns my blood

<-----------not the expession on my face

 

I don't get speed tv but if i did i would want to watch those. That really sucks.

<--------- The expression on my face

 

I thought I was the only one,

Yes, the Speed channel is out of touch with what viewers want.

They need some more on-demand choices.

 

they're not "out of touch".....Nascar has the largest fanbase in America and that's what they're showing cause that's what the majority of people are obviously watching.

It's about money; if something isn't getting watched enough to bring in the money then it's gone.

 

sadly this is true

 

DVRs (like TiVo) save SPEED in my mind. I used to hate them. But, now, I can save the races I would never get to see anyway (The BTCC was fantastic this year...., plus the V8 Supercars, WRC, etc.).

I just wish they would bring back the JGTC/Super GT racing.

However, I hate Nascar, so that is probably why I hate SPEED.

 

The only reason I subrribe is Formula 1

 

I am in the same boat as you guys. We need a Speed2. I miss the WRC and V8 series. I can't stand nascar. I just don't find it interesting. Half of those fans just watch it for the accidents anyways. I only watch it for the Formula 1 I can see from time to time. Like they will have a show on for an hr on "Nascar Tech" when they could be showing racing. It makes me very mad.

 

:worship: Same here!!! I hate NASCAR with a passion! But, without my DVR I wouldn't have been able to record the entire 2005 Grand-Am Cup racing series. V8 Supercars was great too!

 

There may be some hope for us, read an article somewhere, (can't find it now),
about a group looking into creating a new motorsports/racing channel.
I remember they were even looking to broadcast events like the Reno air-races.

 

That would be great so long as it doesn't turn into another Nascar channel

 

I remember reading somewhere that the France family wants to make their own NASCAR channel, if so, that could free up SPEED for other racing that interests other people.
