What the hell, SPEED dropped WRC?!

What a bunch of bullshit, you cant even find WRC on SPEED anymore, everythings been replaced with more circle track racing and informercials.

SPEED used to kickass and now it totally blows.

[CarsSuck]

yea, he's not lying. All they ever play is reruns of Nascar
Nation. Like wtf, why would anybody want to watch reruns of pre race television coverage?

[Slick33]

Yeah, shitty, ain't it? I'm stuck looking for torrents for my WRC coverage now...it sucks!
The only good thing about the torrents though...the coverage is a bit better. No Nicky Grist though...

Next person that bitches about anything speedtv needs to be BANNED.

Seriously, no one fucking cares.

[Ryan Stewart]

You see how they are doing a white trash version of Top Gear too?

Fuck american media alltogether.

Sorry, but its one of like 2 channels that has fucking car shows so anyone remotely interested in cars might care. And I know a lot of people are bitching about it but my main goal was just to get the damn petition signed, not to piss and moan. WRC was the most fun to watch without a doubt.

[Jordan]

Speed hasn't had anything on it worth watching for 4 years.

[Jand3rson]

At least they still carry BTM, BTC, and Le Mans. I read that they're going to be showing the JGTC, too.

[Iain]

WRC is, and has always been, the most interesting motor sport out there, closely followed by LeMans... and then JGTC a fair while behind

Racing split by hundredths of a second in supremely dangerous environs all over the globe beats watching a bunch of high school drop-outs turn left for 500miles, or a pair of 6000hp monsters drive fast for 5secs at a time...

[e30sd]

btm? btc?

dtm? btcc?

does anyone actually sit down and watch the full 24 hrs? i usually watch the start and the highlight reel.

[Dave]

Monster Jam and Unique Whips FTW

[Iain]

The old mid'90s BTCC was great. Door handle-to door handle racing with plenty of manufacturers. Always guaranteed of really close, really hard racing.

DTM has been good, but all the Euro touring car championships tightened up their rules to stop a lot of the rubbing/shunting that made it spectacular and enthralling to watch.

We get stuck with a Ford vs GM 2 make show down here :(

[GaryE30]

I don't get Speed and I'm sad.

Speed did not drop the WRC.

The WRC screwed the pooch on their TV contract with Eurosport, the European channel which Speed gets their feed from.

As of right now, the WRC has no TV contract in either Europe or North America. Right now the WRC has two manufacturer teams, that's it. They're hurting.

I figured it'd be something like that..
