Long live SpeedVision!

...I miss SpeedVision. :(

That was a great channel with some great programming. Even their non-race event shows were great. Victory By Design was a fantastic production.

My satelite was having problems on the weekend, lost the guide.

When it was sorta working it listed Speedvision as one of my channels.

I really wish they would bring WRC back.....

Even tough I have a 24" monitor on my computer to watch the downloads I get, I would much rather watch it on my big screen on SPEED.

Not to mention in HD maybe....

One can only dream....and hope.

Aren`t the same wrap-up shows that were on Speed available for free on the WRC website?
It was pay last year.

I`ll check this weekend. Mexico starts Tomorrow

There are ways to get it onto your TV. I use my playstation 3, it plays the file I get, I place it on a usb flash and put it into the ps3. There are other methods too. Just a thought...

I miss WRC on speed too, but I follow it on wrc.com like everyone else. I think some day it will come back!

WRC.com....

Yeah- that's the ticket

victory by design, legends of motorsport, dakar, and wrc all lost.

like many of you i used to flip on speed everytime the tv was on. now i watch the f1 events and that's it.

i agree the f1 team at speed needs to find a new home. a home where international motorsport is welcome.

a home which focuses on racing rather than whether or not someone loses their ride or has 'crazy dubs'.

It's great that you folks are still fighting the corny programming infection from SPEED. They probably thought we would just go away after the website change. Nope.

Hey, new BMI video.(trailer)
http://www.gtchannel.com/content.php?cid=16065

New to the site, hello!

Anyhoo, I too miss WRC on Speed, but I recently received an e-mail from ASO stating that SpeedTV will carry coverage of the new Dakar Series - Central EUrope Rally at the end of April (4/20-4/26)

With good ratings (and good coverag) maybe we'll see more rallying, whether it be Rally Raid, WRC, Rally America,or another series. At least we might get some rallying on the tele again!

SPSPEED TV IS SO WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS. LOTS OF CRAPPY SHOWS IN PRIME TIME.....RACING AT 1:00AM.....NO WRC......I MISS SPEEDVISION SO MUCH.....THEY HAD RACING.....GREAT RACING HISTORY.....NONE OF THIS NON RACING REALITY TV CRUD......WHY DO I HAVE TO QUIT MY JOB TO SEE RACING. OR IS IT JUST THAT SO MANY OF SPEEDS NEW VIEWERS HAVE NO JOBS THAT THEY CAN BROADCAST ALL THE GOOD STUFF WHEN WE ARE WORKING.
NOW I GET IT.....BUT I'M NOT GETTING MUCH FROM SPEED ANYMORE..SORRY

PLEASE MAKE A 24/7 nascar channel so we can go back to real racing such as rally and drift the two fasting growing motorsports in the US. just look at the street.

If your computer has DVI of VGA or HDMI output and you have a TV with these inputs, then you can watch some great racing. No resolution losses with my HANNspree xV HDTV. Hehehe... shameless plug for a company that sponsored World Superbike.

I use my PS3 as a backup in case my laptop runs out of space... too many European races!

I too get WRC on my pc and then load it onto a usb memory stick and watch it through my xbox360, when its not at the repair center as it is now.....

You can get all 3 days of coverage for each WRC rally here:

Granted, you can't get them the day of, but they're usually just couple days off...

Beats not seeing it at all.

Regarding getting it to the TV, I bought an AppleTV, I just drop the movies to my iTunes and it syncs wirelessly to the AppleTV. I love it.

Almost forgot...

the files are divx..

if you need to convert and have a Mac you can use this: http://www.speedtv.com/forums/

not sure if there's anything for pc like it.
