You got to be kidding right!!! WRC can be watched live. Live stages are amazing especially round some of the Super Stages. Plus the in car camera coverage is the dogs you know what!
NASCAR & Kart has got nothing on this!  Going round and round an oval gots to be so boring!!!  |

It can be, but don't bash on CART, they at least run some roadcourses. It's the IRL that you want to direct that boring statement towards. |

I had to take a dig at CART as Ovals are boring!!! Thats what us Brit's think. True racing is F1 ask any fan over here!!  To be honest I'd like to see CART do some more of the F1 style circuits as the road races are pretty entertaining.  |

| Very true Asif, ovals can be boring, and dangerous. Unfortunately, CART may not be around much longer for people to take digs at bacause they're in bankruptcy. I hope my Long Beach Grand Prix tickets aren't worthless! |

nooooo you've misquoted me....I said:

Key word there....BROADCAST...as in live TV coverage. You find a network that will give you multiple block broadcast time, for three days straight....don't think so....
And even I can't watch 7 hours of rally for three days straight.
Going to watch it live is exhilerating, of course! I'm going to Rally Mexico in March! |

That does suck, Speed used to be the goal of my existance, and now it's kinda going to hell. Thanks NASCAR. . .
So besides CART,NASCAR & IRL what other moto stuff do you guys get? We get CART & NASCAR live here on SKY Sports, but we do get live F1, British Touring Cars (Live), World Rally (Recorded, Live), Formula 3000 (Live & Recorded), Le Mans (Live) and plenty of Motor bike Sport on TV. |

| We get all that stuff too, just not a lot of it. 99% of it is all on Speed Channel, which has gone NASCRAP crazy of late. |

| on regular broadcast channels here you get most of the NASCAR races, most IRL Indy Cars races and a few CART Champ Car races. If you get Speed Channel on your cable or satellite provider you get live CART, F1 and Le Mans, taped WRC, BTCC, and a bunch of other stuff (I don't have Speed, so I don't know exactly what they offer). If you have ESPN on your cable or satellite you get live/taped NHRA drag racing and some of the IRL races. I had read that ESPN was going to show taped Japanese Grand Touring Cars, but I guess not. |

| I think the guys that do the Baja 1000 on bikes are nuts, the guys that do Dakar on bikes are just certifiably insane. No, I didn't get to see any of it, once again, lack of Speed Channel. . . |
