Default Speed GT WC Broadcast?

Are there any? I thought longbeach was going to be shown Friday. What about Sebring? what about any TV broadcast. Speed is a joke!! They cant even show their one and only racing series?

I've seen the Sebring and NJ races by using my Tivo to search them out and record any WC race that airs, but it was weeks after the races before they broadcast them. And, who knows what time in the middle of the night they were on. Agreed, it is a joke that they can't even show their own race series in a timely manner.

I've got it programmed via FIOS and someone is screwing up the program lists. I ended up with an episode of that tow truck show.

If they won't air their own races it makes you wonder if they will have their own races next year what with the economy and all.

World Challenge really needs to put their (full length) races online. I have a DVR with a "season pass" for WC and have still only been able to watch the Sebring races, about 2 months after they happened. I really love the series but it's pretty tough to follow unless you're at every event in person.

I watched both.

I do not like the shortened format (1 hr for both GT & Touring).

I liked the previous commentators much better ...

They are on at strange times..
