wrc on speed?
 
how come they never have wrc on speed anymore, it use to be everyday at 4 or 5, then at night. do they still have it, is it off season or something?

also when is that audi r10 tdi gonna be racing?

Speed was already officially changed to Nascar.

The R10 isn't racing again till Road Atlanta I believe....I'm not QUITE sure about that.

But I do know its doing endurance. Sprints are left to the R8 (despite the handicap)

not sure but good question

Twin_Cam 05-18-2006 06:39 PM

Short answer: because the Speed channel and NASCAR suck.

james_ls 05-18-2006 07:44 PM

that engine is a work of art, but why is the turbo capped off like that and not the whole thing?

lucky bastard, where did u see it at and how did u get to sit in it?

the r8 is a nice car

when they show endurance races on tv is it live coverage, or just a few hours of highlights

I JUST WANT TO WATCH SOME WRC.:banana: :furious:

Philly-Night-SR 05-19-2006 02:01 PM

F&#( NASCAR!!!!! That Audi motor is SICK!

den9 05-19-2006 04:16 PM

im moving to europe to watch wrc

smoger 05-19-2006 04:21 PM

i think the wrc season is over.. pretty sure i read that in autoweek last week

92dxman 05-19-2006 06:46 PM

The wrc season isnt even half way over. There is about 11-12 rallies left in the season. Speed isn't going to carry wrc at all this year. I've written to oln suggesting that they should pick up wrc coverage. The only way to watch it is to look for the eurosport coverage on downloading tools like bit torrent.

Speed dropped WRC due to rising costs to license, lack of sponsors/advertisers, and reduced viewership.

I call it the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" plan. They take something with a cult following, and put it on at an increasingly more inconvenient, and random time. They then wonder why ratings drop, so they move it again, and again, until even the dedicated viewers struggle to find it. Long and short is that its easier for Fox to fill the network they own with content they own. This content also happens to appeal to a large demographic of people who, for lack of a better description, but whatever they are advertised at. There is an "official ______ of Nascar" for almost any product, from jeans to processed meat.

Speed does still have some quality content, but you have to know where to look. Unfortunatly, international motorsports will almost always be second place to the good 'ol boys and their roundie-round racing, especially when the great majority of people are drooling morons.
