Speedvision oopps i mean speed channel sold out this year. I remember the round the clock coverage from last year, that was rather swell. To bad the ferraris broke, they were flying. And the morgan, that car was just awesome even if it was the slowest car.

Yeah, I heard fox networks bought out SV, and since they are in bed with NASCRAP they have biased a lot of their car racing coverage to "stock cars".

Sad, I miss the old speedvision already.

Dominated?? Did you watch the race?? The corvettes were being destroyed by the 550s, untill they decided to break.

The Audi R8's are just unstopable right now, its such a good factory effort. I do agree though, I was very upset with the coverage. Speed channel is horrible, I cannot stand their shit. I don't know too much about ratings and how many people watched the old Speed Vision but it might be mega profitable to have another channel like the old speed vision, just an idea.

Leading several hours into a 24 hour race does not earn any points the last time Uncle Ben checked. And going up in flames is not quite the same as "breaking" either. At least the Ferrrari lasted longer than it did at Sebring.

Everybody makes a big deal about Audi repeat winning at LeMans, don't forget the hardworking American boys and a kick ass Canadian driver. :notworthy:
