Talking WRC on Speed!

http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...onship-series/

Great News! (and not just some crap about a Dacia )

Looks like we'll be able to watch WRC on American TVs without having to torrent it (as long as the Speed recaps are with Paul King commenting that is).

Sweet! Finally back after all these years. I've been on a rally drought for years. Just too much work to download via the internet.

Too much work = not really a fan of the WRC

Seriously though, it takes less than a minute to initiate the torrent after they're available. Weaksauce. :P

Been a fan of rallying since the 70's. Escorts, Stratos, Geminis, Lancers,etc.etc. that was the start for me. I'm old enough to be the father of most members here.
It's not like I have some T-whatever connection here at home. I'm not a torrent person either.

Have seen WRC in real life when I was still living in Europe in late 90s. Those ol' school 555 STis were crazy!

Now I have an additional reason to actually WATCH Speed Channel out of the small list of programs I actually bother watching.

I feel like speed has stepped up their game recently. They cover F1 really good, AMA supercross, Cont. Tire Challenge (subaru runs decently in that series as well), V8 supercars. just to name a few

plus they also have short course off road racing from both the lucas off road series and the TORC series as well.

i am waiting for them to do more desert off road racing though, and not just just the baja 1000/500. some in the AZ and NV desert series would be nice.
