Nearly un-interupted coverage for 12 hours.
That line just catched my eye. So how come we were bored with Nascar for about three hours in a row on that same MotorsTV-channel. The coverage is in English, but we're still not watching the same channel? ???

Rick,

can I get a look at the recording please ?

Maybe if Robbo PM's me, I'll give him my address, I will then post on to the next in line.

Cheers,

I was in Canada, close to the American border over the Sebring weekend. The hotel I was staying in recieved 48 TV stations mainly of US origin. Not one of them had any coverage of the race and no mention in the sport section on the news channels. There was massive coverage of basketball and very little else (the cheerleaders were cute though) no motor racing of any description.
I appreciate that the hotel probably didn't subscribe to all available channels but I was a bit pissed off that there was no coverage and I thought motor racing was big over there.

AFAIK the race was covered on Speed Channel and possibly ESPN (subscriber cable channels).

However, this did not concern me............as I saw it LIVE (or have I mentioned that already Bob ?  ;D )
