Best racing series on the planet. Finally I can get coverage without having to download crap quality copies.

I didn't find out about this until after Sydney.. does Speed have their own team or is it just a repeater of the Australian "7 Network" (which I would prefer)?

If you know little of the series, then the fact that the ###### Ambrose drove in both is as close as the comparison comes. Just wait until you guys can see Bathurst.. if you never have it will open your eyes to real racing (in my opinion of course).

It's a condensed version of teh Australian broadcast, with intros by SPEED (presumably to cover up the Channel 7 identifications). Bathurst 2009 was incredible, having watched it live myself for the first time ever. Too bad it appears that the US won't be seeing it.

Did I miss it? I taped the first race I saw broadcast on SPEED and sat down to watch and it is the final race from Sydney. Did I miss the whole season? Is this all SPEED put on? I've been searching the schedule and find no more V8 Supercar races.

^ The V8 Supercars deal with SPEED is for the next three years, starting with the 2009 season finale at Sydney that we saw last weekend. So, no, you didn't somehow miss the season, as that was the only race they showed.

Oh man. Thanks for the clarification and the schedule! Can't wait for 2010!!

And, THANK YOU SPEED for getting this done. Honestly I was real close to canceling it. I will keep it going for now.
