Anyone else worried?

:p

Not really, as in previous years it's a question of which to watch live and which to record when the races clash. Last year it was generally the IRL races which were recorded as they are shorter and Sky repeated them so I could record the repeat. This year I assume Sky will be repeating both series. With the demise of Champcar there will also be fewer clashes.
I have cancelled my Setanta direct debit so will only see the Nationwide races until they twig and pull the service.

nope- thought Sky did a great job with the rain delay at Fontana- and then showed the race in full twice the next day- and thought the coverage of Las Vegas was excellent- they're learning to speak over the in car footage during ad breaks and getting to grips with the sport

I'm probably cancelling NASN, it's unlikely that I'll see that many Nationwide series races- they don't always show them before the Cup race, so usually have the result anyway- I;d rather see the Craftsman Truck races but can't be arsed to use TVU

as for Indy Car clashes- well they have 4 channels and interactive so it shouldn't be a problem- and they are showing all NASCAR races live (according to what they said the other night)

Sorry for going rather off the point of the above posts but does anyone still have the sprint cup races from California and Vegas on dvd to lend/sell/swap with me? I was at both events and would love to get copies of the races as a momento.Thanks.

Sorry Jeff, I haven't.

Have you tried any of the torrent sites, I'm sure they will be on there. :)

If you do not allow the torrents you have downloaded to be shared with other users, your share ratio will be very low. You need to increase your upload capacity to allow people to use you as a seed. That is how torrenting works. If all you do is download, you will be kicked off as your are not sharing with other users.

BADMINGTON !!!!

thank goodness for Stan's times thread - guess Sky made a timing error

:eek:

Christ how many do they have to go up to in Badminton!!!! Not good if they miss the green to watch Koreans playing badminton. As important as that is...

Ok the green drops in 3 minutes and they are going to a deciding game. Aparently its badminton of the highest quality. I hope the five people watching are enjoying it. Bit of a balls up from Sky with the timing.

i was cheering on the yellow team just to get the game over with! i hope they show the race on a delay so we don't miss any of it
