Default How does full race sameday coverage of F1, ALMS, DTM, FIA GT, WRC, etc. sound to you?

I don't know about you but I like it! This site has full race downloads of every major racing series, on the same day the event is run. Want to watch F1 on ITV instead of FOX, they have it, want to watch it in Swedish, they have it. Like WRC and DTM? They have it, here's just a small list of the series they have, ohh and Bernie and FOM (Formula One Managment) realy doesn't want you to know about this site !!!!!

F1
ALMS
DTM
WRC
IRL
CCWS
A1GP
ETCC
TOP GEAR
LMS
FIA GT
V8 Supercars
Historical races/ Special F1 season reviews 1970-1980
Archives of every race in these series for the last few seasons !
and alot more stuff I'm forgetting

http://www.racing-underground.com/

This is a torrent site, meaning you need Bitorrent or Utorrent which I use. It says it doesn't have a "security certificate" (it's based in Russia outside of the reach of FOM) and you need to make an account. I have been using it for 3 years (downloaded hundreds of races) and have never had a virus or a problem. I would also HIGHLY recommend downloading a Codec Pack, since alot of the video's are encoded a certain way, and you need the specific codec to make it work.

It has saved my tail alot of times when I forget to record a race, or if I watch one live and want to see a replay I go there. I forgot to record Canada sunday but was able to download it and watch it last night.

I have NO IDEA about the legality of downloading full races from various series, so don't ask, I guarantee the site is in violation of a million terms of use, and have no idea how long it lasts before Bernie and FOM shut it down, but I realy don't feel bad about downloading races that they aren't willing to cover here state side.

Even though I have been using it trouble free for three years, I have been reluctant to share it since the less people who know about/use it the better, since there is less likely hood of it being shut down. But I hope sharing this makes up for my anti 911 ranting's even though I'm still not sorry

anyway enjoy

If you had searched for "racing underground", you would have found that it had already been posted multiple times.

I've actually done that for all the realy good stuff I have, I think I have Rendezvous, Laps of the Gods, In car 956, F1 1970-80 season reviews, History of F1 onboard, Can Am Watkins glen 1970/1971 and a few more things I'm forgeting on DVD, but for some reason it doesnt work in my DVD player, they only play my computer. I have to delete all the other races after I watch them

No, what we NEED is a full screen version of your avatar, which is filling up MY hard drive.

38D's is pretty good too. But I must say I find MTosi's very distracting.
