As Scandinavia are showing NASCAR in High Definition, I presume Sky Sports will be doing the same - as there is already a feed to Europe In HD.
If they do not, then I will not be happy!

It's not listed on their HD channels, only Sky Sports 3.Quote:

I can live without the pre-race show, and as long as SKY use the American commentators I will be happy. Losing the in-car during US advert breaks was lost last year with SENTANTA and their Irish adverts, why I need to know about Kitchen and Bathroom fitters in Derry, 'I just don't know'. But hopefully SKY will use this advert breaks wisely, and make sure they come back for restarts on time every time.
I will give SKY till Bristol before I complain about any broadcasting mistakes they irritate me with.
Yes, becasue I remember all those lovely HD broadcasts Setanta provided us with.Quote:

Hmm, not filling me with huge confidence, it also doesn't say how many events will be live, do we assume all of them, or just the Daytona 500 and all the rest shown 'as live'? Bit more detail needed from them I think..
i see no reason why they all shouldn't be shown live, they've got enough sports channels and they show irl live and aigp live regardless of which time zone it's racing in.
this is good news as i'm confident that many previous uk nascar viewers who watched on nasn (before setanta got their hands on it and wanted us to believe we were getting a good deal by offering us the setanta package) but then unsubscribed will rejoice. me, i'm over the moon as i already have the full sky package so it's not going to cost anymore.

5. No excuses, if you have an HD channel and the feed is available, then show it.
What next, cutting back to the studio every time there is a break? I hope not.
