Default Un-NASCAR TV something new, sort of ....

V8 Supercar is going to be on Speed, one week delay starting in Dec.
I got hooked on watching it a couple seasons ago and have just been
following the news since. Great road courses.

It would be nice to see Speed actually run some racing. Every time I turn it on I have a show on towing, some really crappy mod to a bike or car, cop car chases, etc. Perhaps that is what it needs to do to survive, but I remember the mission was to show racing. A full ALMS race, some European sports car races, midgets, you know racing.

Kudo's if they are actually going to show racing, better yet if it is shown in prime time.

WTF? racing on Speed Channel? come on, they have to have some more reruns of Pinks to show...

Thanks for the heads up. Aussie supercar is cool, hopefully we'll get some LMS, and FIA GT races in the off season too.

I might even consider resubscribing to SPEED for V8Supercar.

Maybe.

Thanks for the notification.

THANK GOD it's back!!

This is one of the best racing series to watch out there. NASCRAP should be so intense & entertaining.

I never understood why SPEED would dare remove it from their winter line-up years ago. That channel needs all the non-White Trash shows it can get.

Great News! And it's a 3 year deal, too. Marcos Ambrose may be part of the broadcast team.
Also looking forward to DTM and BTC starting next weekend.

Really, Really? I assume by the icon your kidding. The sad part is they must all sell or they wouldn't run them. Lets be frank speed channel sucks, but maybe they will do this one right.

Yeah I'm totally kidding. I did enjoy the Gearz marathon this weekend. Can't wait for some V8 Supercar racing though.

Sun 12/13 at 1pm ET, looks like two hours to cover both Sydney street course races.
I'd say the course looks mundane, the Sydney Olympic park with mostly 90degree or
45 degree turns with chicanes, but having never driven on a street course I'll have
to wait and see.

That is awesome news!!! All Thanksgiving weekend, I kept checking to see if Speed had anything worth watching - never.

This is some of the best racing on the planet!! Love Bathhurst the most!
