Being hit by a bus beats the shit out of Nascar :1orglaugh

wow you guys are just getting f1 now? :|

Been getting it for years on pay cable (ESPN or Speedvision), but this is the first time they are doing a block of four races on standard broadcast (free!) television. I've been a fan of F1 for decades and follow it thoroughly, which usually means getting up at 2 or 3 in the morning to watch the satellite broadcasts here in the states. :Oh crap

That the networks are starting to do this is a good sign, as usually the free stations don't ever bother to run any sport that is not dominated by Americans.

:thumbsup

F1 is cool, but JGTC is the shit.

cool - time to step up from NASCAR and watch some F1

Watching cars go in circles is boring
