2007 WRC Mexico broadcast in bay area?

I read that WRC Mexico will be broadcast "in America" but it looks like only in the New England area... or is it?

Is it broadcast anywhere in the bay area? It doesn't show up on Y!TV.

You know I got my DirecTV action package because Speed covered WRC. But now they don't which sucks. Thanks for the link Brian.

Talking

My pleasure Marc. I was using http://enormouslysideways.net/DoubleUAreSea/ but that didn't have the Sweden events up very fast, so I found another route The rallytorrents.com website gets the events up super quick, so it's almost like watching them live, except they're already without commercials...YEAH!

Edit: I also got DirecTV for Speedvision initially, but now that I have the DTV I wouldn't go back to Cable if you paid me.

Speed = Nascrap

At least they still cover MotoGP, though the coverage sucks. They need to start broadcasting some of the European racing channels over here.

I say we all cancel speed, tons of sites wrote them letters about rally etc.. and they still dumped it and ignored the viewers, because nascar poker and potato chips are more important

WE MUST MAKE THEM PAY!!!!!!!!!

As ****ty as it is, the majority of Speed Channel viewers do in fact want Nascar and the crappy additional programming they have. Sucks, but Rally hasn't been marketed very well in the US IMO and the average american just doesn't "get" rallying. I have to say though, it's not too hard to convince people once they see a rally live.

I don't think there are any Americans driving in WRC spec cars or even Group N other than in the Rally Mexico. There definitely aren't any that are running a full WRC campaign. Travis Pastrana and Ken Block are doing a damn fine job of bringing rallying to America, but we've got a loooong way to go before we get any more WRC coverage in the US. Sad but true...(cue Metallica).......

For now I'm just stoked that the internet makes it widely available in a decent format. Yeah for technology!
