man, if I had access to this channel I'd watch motor sports all day

[coldhitz]

I hear Discovery HD channel is trying to change into this type of programming in the U.S.

[burton0078]

yeah speed chanell shows DTM, and V8s and other series but its never live unless its nascar or Indy or F1 or ALMS and a few others

@creamclouds I wish they had a paid membership area on their website where we could watch the videos

The United States is so isolated from the world. Even Chinese can see FIA GT championship from TV and see racing in reality.

@coldhitz Oh yeah.. thats right... 2011 should still be exciting... getting to see some new cars testing... for the 2012 season. Le Mans 2011 should be interesting since they are nurfing the Diesel powered cars. Thanks for the info bro.

@JuergenGDB No i don't have the link . I read that a while back . I have seen the races that ALMS put on their site and they were BAD ASSSS ! . It was with a partnership they signed with Todo Cast , a self contained broadcast / streaming service . You buy their sattalite , hook in your cameras and get to show your stuff ) The sound and picture were perfect and never went down . Laguna Seca and Mid - Ohio were the races I watched .

@coldhitz say do you have the link by chance? would like to read it.. :)

Yeah we need more then SPEED... NASCAR I guess owns that channel.. so go figure.

@JuergenGDB The original report was for 2012 . It will include Moto GP , WRC , F1, and Touring Car . It was On Yahoo Sports , and with the announcement of an FIA track being built in Austin Tx , maybe we can finally have real racing without going underground to get it .

@Cerenityy This was last year... I think things changed in 2010 for the FIA GT1. They plan on in 2011 to host the FIA GT1, and the FIA GT2 seperately... trying to create more for the viewers etc.... not to mention be more competitive I guess. Wish we could watch all of Europe's racing here in the states... thank goodness for FIA GT1 HD online. Also I just found out that the ALMS here in the US puts up their last race onlince so you can watch it as well.

[JuergenGDB]

@coldhitz When... damn it... .when!! I know FIA GT1 may come to the US and Canada next year because they will be racing twice there respectively. The US really needs more than SPEED. SPEED is little more then a NASCAR channel.. we could be watching great races besides watching repeat crap of Nascar, and Barret Jackson.. and repeats of Pinks just to fill in all the blanks they have on that channel already.
