I thought it was on VERSYS. But I can't find it on ANY US TV. Wassup ?


I don't know why Speed stopped showing it but perhaps there was issues with it also being shown by Setanta North America. It's an obscure, Irish satellite channel that shows lots of international soccer and rugby.


A1GP is indeed on Setanta, and although it's been shown tape-delayed it's also commercial free. It's GREAT! It's really too bad American sports is hopelessly dominated by advertising because European sports coverage rocks! Picture watching hockey or basketball or football without all the ding-dang-diddly tv timeouts...sheer heaven...only approximated by waiting until after the sporting event ends and watching it on DVR.


That however only benefits the very few that have Setanta on their linup!

There was a reply here that disappeared, that stated that Setanta is on a subscription basis on Directv.

That is true (it's channel 615) - also, the Brands Hatch A1GP will be broadcast on Setanta starting at 7:30 AM EDT Monday (4:30 AM MST/PDT). Usually they broadcast the tape-delays like this, both sprint and feature races in their entirety without commercial interruption (except between races).
