Are we getting Formula one here in the states this year on TV? Normally it's on Speed Channel but haven't heard anything yet. Gonna be really sad if there's nothing TV deal.

Also, anyone know anything about Canadian coverage. I live about 35 miles from the border so I might be able to set up something to get it that way. Thanks guys.

Haven't you checked the Program Schedule on the SpeedTV website? The first showing is
Saturday March 8th at 6:30 pm PST, then replays again Sunday evening.

Speed channel always seems to put the best stuff on at the worst times.

Not if you're a redneck Nascar fan :D

Now that it's the Nascar Channel i bought a nice Mitsubishi VCR just for recording Road Racing and WRC stuff. Actually it works out better cause i'd rather watch tapes at my convenience whenever i want otherwise i'd miss the show if i had to watch it when it was actually broadcast.

Thanks Randy. Actually went to Speed Channel site but my connection was so slow I gave up. We're not getting live, huh?

please watch MotoGP!!! there are no No.1 plates in most road racing series since they all went to MotoGP.

Rossi MotoGP Champ (ITA)
Edwards World SuperBike Champ (USA)
Bayliss World SuperBike #2 (AUS)
Hayden AMA Superbike Champ (USA)

It will be one hell of a fight!!!

I think it might be on live, the time diffirential sounds about right. Usually they show it live once, then replay it again on sunday or monday night (very nice when its on at like 3:30 in the morning...).
