Default Circuit Battles on VERSUS! This Saturday, April 30th!

Hey everyone!

Just a friendly reminder to tune in to the first episode of the new show Circuit Battles, airing on VERSUS this Saturday, April 30th at 2pm ET.

Footage is from Round #1, Willow Springs.

For those of you who don't know, Lou Gigliotti is racing in this new series with his Grand-Am spec Corvette (although now it has more power..)

Set your DVR's just in case you won't be home to watch it live!

anyone else watch this? Enjoyed the format, mostly, but found the entries pretty dull.

Also, looks like it was filmed using a couple of camcorders.

Along that same line, the put a LOT more effort into the off-track activities than on-track. I usually skip all pre-race activities, interviews etc, when I watch racing........wasn't much left in this particular show!

I enjoyed the show, but it seemed like too much info crammed into a 30 minute program. I would have liked to have seen more actual racing.

It is my understanding that this show will be expanded to a longer format and shown on a different network in the future.

I liked it alright and will continue to give it a chance. Maybe the interview parts were a bit much but since it is a new show they may be trying things out. The cars were diverse and should get better.
