Scooter Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Speed sucks. WRC Monte Carlo is going on right now and Speed isn't covering it or any other rallys for that matter. I don't even care if it is on at 3am because I can always record it. Not having anything really sucks. Looks like I'll be looking for coverage from europe to download.

Scooter Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 No it won't. Nick Grist wasn't covering the Monte Carlo rally for Speed. They don't have anyone there filming. F1 just isn't the same. 2005 WRC rally cars were quite advance even compared with a F1. But FIA had to ruin the fun by imposing cost cutting measures and taking out 2 of the 3 active differentials. BTW, Mikka Hakkinen, after he retired from F1, took up rallying. He's Finnish so he HAD to drive a rally car. His first comment was he never got into the zone because there's always someone reading off the pace notes. He did have a hard time not crashing. Rally crashes are also much more entertaining.

diehli Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Speed took a turn for the worse a long time ago. They really should change the name of the channel again: NASCARTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiledviking Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 NASCARTV! It is truly a shame! IF it is NOT NASCAR it won't get any exposure on Speed. NO rally, no motorcycle racing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, they had/have "Two-Wheel Tuesdays". I'm sorry, I just don't understand the excitement of watching guys go fast and turn left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Or the trucks that aren't trucks. Even FIA has a regulation on the piece of luggage you need to be able to carry in a LeMans car's storage bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
