Over seas motorsports

Mopar68 · Feb 20, 2004, 11:27 PM

As you all might know, i live in Jersey, which is in america. I've been getting really annoyed at The speed network. About 80% of the programing is nascar, which is really boring and dumb. So i was wondering, is it like that in other countries? Do they show alot more of real motorsports like F1, the WRC or the British and German touring car championship?

Unfortunately like you Mopar68, I get only the Speed channel and all it is just stupid nascar

Your right, but to know when that is on, you have to keep checking up on Speed and all you get is Nascar

Pretty annoying :?
You need a schedule.

Well, here in the Netherlands there is a lot of motorsports on Eurosport. Like F3000, F3, Nascar, CART, IRL, WRC, LG Super racing weekend(ETCC, FIA GT, Formule Renault V6 and some little other classes).
And on a Dutch channel(sbs 6) there is F1 and DTM. So that's quite a lot i think

Well here we mostly get F1 and WRC. There might be some other races broadcast too but I'm not familiar with the program. I wish we got JGTC.

Its hard to get most of the motor sport where i am but i get to watch the WRC and the F1 and some times when its on the Paris to Dakar Rally...
Its all ways on at a really stupid time though...

Mopar68 · Feb 22, 2004, 5:23 PM

Which motorsport is the most televised and celebrated in your country? Is F1 really popular or is the WRC?

jimkk29 · Feb 22, 2004, 7:00 PM

It's mostly F1 here as far as I know...

Evo Rob · Feb 22, 2004, 7:01 PM

On eurosport is really a lot if WRC, and no F1.
On the dutch channels, there is a lot of F1, and no WRC

yeah the speed channel does have some good racing, like the touring car championships are on every now and then. I saw some really good race with the porsche carrera series. But thats it. It's eaither that stuff, or nascar. Nascar is on during most of the day, and the night is other stuff. I guess they schedule their programs around out of work rednecks. Thats why i want to live in europe. You get such better racing.
