Two years of wowful SKY coverage has killed this sport in this country, they did not do their homework, and the studio team just did not have a clue about the sport I love.- :spinhead: Oh he turned him !!!

Sorry to hear this...the same frustration I felt when the WRC was dropped from U.S. providers. Just keep in mind, its the same for everyone, I have to d/l captures of DTM and BTCC. You'd think with the multitude of international broadcast networks and hundreds of channels to choose from this wouldn't happen, but I guess we all still aren't 'living in the future' yet.

also remember if Sky hadn't shown it then we wouldn't have seen it at all- the way people go on at this forum anyone would think it was like Eurosports sometimes woeful coverage of CART/Indy Car- "the next car is hmmmm a red car, followed by a blue car" etc
I'm not pro Sky by any means but I don't get why people moan so endlessly about their coverage

Because put simply for me the whole point of watching American racing is to get the whole American experience not from an English perspective. I like to get the whole pre-race and post race coverage or at least some of it.

Given what they did, there was nothing wrong with the Sky coverage. They cut to the US commentators when they could. Bring it back Sky - the only thing I actually made the effort to watch on TV all year.
What is wrong with you people. As someone said, we are not in the futurte yet despite all the channels showing endless repeats of people doing up crap houses and making wine. FFS, how hard can it be.

the highlights were ok but you didnt get the feel for it. it will be even worse when they put a normal 4hr race into the 1 hour highlight.
still no word from espn there the only ones who havent said no yet.

Set the ole Sky+ box to remind me about Daytona being on Sky at the weekend and noticed the series link option was available. Does this mean anything or nothing I wonder

I would have no problems with Sky showing the 2010 season, even if it was only behind the red button.
Same, it's not very exiting to watch
