No need for the question mark in the thread title.

Hilarious: "The World Challenge Championships, consisting of three separate categories—GT, GTS and Touring Car—are America's top production car-based series"

Better there than SpeedTV, where it's all about pinks, tow trucks, pass time and NASCAR these days. Versus also does the indy car series too. Perhaps a bit of competition between networks will do the sport some good.

Sucks for those without access to Versus, I agree, but it has to be better than the Speed broadcasts last season. That was some of the worst production I've ever seen for any sporting event. I enjoyed Tom Hnatiw on Dream Car Garage, but he was hard to stomach calling the races.

Between Versus and HD theatre, I only need SPEED for Grand-Am viewing it seems.

Why would you want to watch Grand-Am...World Challenge is "America's top production car-based series".

And F1.

Some competition for Speed would be welcomed. The Roger Werner years are missed.

Time Warner carries it in my house here in CLT...Channel 280. You must be in the burbs on Aldelphia/Comcast or whatever it is? I think I remember having Aldelphia when my parents had a place at Lake Norman.

Nope, had Time Warner. Guess I missed it. either way, have Directv now because TWC sucked for service, signal, etc. Had nothing but problems with them, DTV has been great (though no Vs....)

Yup, SpeedTV is no longer the name sponsor of (Speed) World Challenge. In addition, with one of the mainstays of Touring Car (fielding 3 cars in 2009) leaving for Grand Am/Continental Tire Challenge in 2010, IMO the Touring Car series is about to implode.
