On one hand, I like that a major US broadcaster such as ESPN seems to be getting more involved in the sport. On the other hand, the new site kinda sucks...

Could have been worse...SpeedTV (i.e. NA$CAR TV) could have bought it.

Yeah well ESPN is not that great either. Unless they pay more the the NHRA/drag racing because drag racing has been delayed for up to an hour because little league baseball was on, womens basketball and whatever other crap they had.

This has been in the works since early 2009 - F1.live made an announcement of the pending arrangement back then. The previous owners of F1.live made the site from their own personal investments.
