The troule is that the US doesn't ever seem to be especially interested in European sports. In almost every case america has its own alternative which is usually "Bigger and better". Motor racing is a very european sport, and obviously you guys have NASCAR, but do you want grand prix racing commercialized to that level, or for it to remain how it is witchout the attention of the average american. A decent balance will be hard to obtain where the sport remains in its current european form but with the attention of the american public. Not even an american world champions can change things.

I wouldn't be boasting about having Eurosport guys
Its just better than having nothing, but only just.
Speed seems to think we want re-runs of pinks (idiotic), superbikes (moronic), about 17 hours of nascar or nascar related programing. And finally apparently we love watching Bobsledding on speed as well.

It seems we all go through this .... every year here in the USA with SPEED CHANNEL.Last year some of us made a big stinker about it with so called letterss and tons of emails, And what did they do?Got rid of 2 wheel tuedays and gave us SUPERBIKES and PINKS, whoopie! STRAIGHT GARBAGE! They're in love with their ASSCAR shows and we'll always play second fiddle to them.
Regardless they will recceive my email with my 2 cent....

BTW this year Spanish TVE payed a shitload to buy the rights of MotoGP so probably we'll get every FP and Qualy live on TV for free.
Yes you will...
