My cable company (North bay)kept promising ESPN2 and Speedvision for years and I gave up waiting and bought a dish. Cost me about $5.00 more per month than cable to get the premium channel selection that has Speedvision and ESPN2 but its well worth it! Just today the Goodwood festival and Australian Touring Cars along with Grand Prix was worth it. Lutrell :-) D Sport Racer #74 http://www2.scca.com/amateur/club_racing/runoffs/photogal/dsr-74.jpg

Amen. I've watched NASCAR for some years, but it sure will be refreshing to catch the 99 F1 season, BTCC (they make Bristol look like a walk in the park!), and all the other types of racing covered by Speedvision. The Dakar was truly awesome, something I've never seen before. Too bad I can't pay a lower rate for a "Speedvison Only" package. My wife says I'm strange when she sees me watching a Speedvision rerun for the 3rd or 4th time... :P Brett

My wife says *I'm* strange for staying up until 3:30 racing with you at Zandvoort. She has no idea how much fun we had...great race Brett!

Wow, I had seen that before, but never really appreciated it. After living in the world of GPL for the last two months, that movie took on a whole new meaning. I have more respect for the drivers, and I'm completely awed by Papyrus. Except for the color being weak (old film, I guess) the driving scenes looked EXACTLY like GPL! It was a riot when the director said there are 450 shifts per lap at Monaco! That's five gearchanges per second! He must have gotten confused somewhere along the line, maybe it was 45. Then again, maybe that's why I'm so slow. Well, gotta run. Think I'll try some new ratios at Monaco. Don McCorkle Libertarian Motorsports

No chance here in the UK :-( In the night of the F1 season opener (less than 2 weeks to go), Grand Prix plus a Lauda docu will be shown on a german satellite channel, AFAIR Nord 3. Shoud be easy to receive in the UK via Astra. Unencrypted, no commercial breaks. -- _____ /_______\ .\\ a t t h e a d I XT /~~~~ I 500\_____ 1977' Yamaha XT.Rex 500 Enduro \____/\__I_I http://matthead.home.pages.de/
