Well, they've got their new and "improved" site up and running and what a joy it is.  Rolleyes

I've been a regular visitor and contributor to the fan forum section since, well hell, since forever, but it's such a pain in the ass to access that I doubt I'll ever go back. Too bad, really, because there are/were some interesting people there; i.e. Drebber, a Dutch dude who was working his way up the ranks at various Euro National series, helmet painters, a mother of an umbrella girl who wasn't afraid to post links to her daughter's latest exploits, etc.

Does the world revolve around Dale Jr's ass?

No, but SpeedTV does.

I played on their boards for a several years.  I quit going there just about a year ago -- when SpeedTV delayed the broadcast of the first WSBK race of the year but posted a headline on the web site that Biaggi had won it.  I mean, I would only go to places like that to enhance watching races.  They spoiled it.

They have been displaying race results immediately after the races for years. SPEEDTV.com is considered a news website like RoadracingWorld.com or SuperbikePlanet.com. They also show results on their wrap-up programs before the races are broadcast. I don't see anything wrong with that.

SpeedTV and their POS website should just be called all.NAPCAR.all.the.time.TV.com
And don't get me started on Michael Waltrip, Kenny Wallace, Dave Disdain and that lot... Rolleyes Mad2
When it was still Speedvision is was a great channel, but when Fox bought them out it's been downhill. They used to get a ton of my viewing time but anymore F1, MotoGP, Motocross and a bit of ALMS thrown in is about all I can stand.

I used to log on there, but the new format sucks. Haven't been back since I first saw the changes.

Typical FOX (their owner) crap.

I tried to check out what you all are complaining about but had to leave after contracting genital herpes from the NOPI skanks. Thanks, guys.  Thumbsdown

Nope. Haven't done so for a couple of year now. Speed isn't willing to pay for the rights.

Does the WRC have an online package like MotoGP?

I understand that WRC changed the package they offered for the US market. No more daily wrap-up for each event, just highlights at the end of the rally but the price was still very expensive for less content. Source was a post on ADVRider.

For WRC, one can always check out http://www.racing-underground.com/index.ru?cls=32 which has bittorrent to download. I don't know much about it. In fact, if rights holders are reading this, I don't even know how that text got into my post. Its a complete mystery to me. Must have been a computer error of some sort. I'm just an innocent bystander.
