If you want to watch A1GP, now you can.

A1 is Back to Versus

Good.  SPEED sucks.

Speedvision was simply the best channel ever. Then Fox comes along and buys it and makes it NASCARvision with some other racing thrown in as filler. The galling part is that Fox never airs the NASCAR races on Speed! They do lame interview shows with overweight southern hicks when they could be showing us racing. Well, that goes to the general shape of things in America. Kill the competition.

Wow. Sorry for the rant. Ok, back to A1GP. Why the hell didn't they get the rights to show a decent race series? Hell, I'd even settle for Formula Nippon instead of A1GP! What is Versus anyway? Is that the 'Outdoor channel' re-badged? If so, its still a Fox product I believe...

Yeah, Speedvision was good.  SPEEDTV sucks.  TRN SHOULD be good, but it will 1) never be launched, so many damn delays and 2) only be on Dish Network, so **** that.

A1 is decent.  Well, I only saw part of 2 races, but I liked it.  Verus is OLN re-badged.  It's the channel that shows hockey and cycling and nothing else.  I doubt it's a FOX product...if it was, we'd have the comet puck v2.

Comcast does suck, but I still use it.  Verizon Internet sucks more is what it all comes down to.

A1GP seems crappy this year, probably because I ain't got a driver I like now Nico Hulkenberg has left.

I don't watch, but I do have a favorite driver at least.  But he hasn't been racing much.  James Hinchcliffe.  Robert Wickens has been racing for Canada, and he said that they should let Hinch race more and race himself less because the team is better and Hinch is not to blame.  I don't know or care, though.
