Speed Channel needs serious help! I am starting a petition that I will mail to them. It is about that Speed should show all the endurance races such as Le Mans at their full running, not 14 hours or so! Please sign it even if you do not get the channel, it may not change their mind, but it will get them thinking!
 
I don't get it, never even heard of it. But I reckon they should show the whole 24 hours or whatever it is.

than this channel isnt for them. they can go watch fox and do all left-hand turns in their driveway.

they need to remove all the nascar bull from speedvision. i get enough of that vomit from fox, fox sports, espn, espn2, espn classic, fx, etc. etc. :mad:
 
Erm, you'll need a couple million people to sign it for them to even consider it. Even then, I'm sure they are makign more money showing NASCAR. There is pretty much nothing you can do short of creating your own channel and broadcasting the endurance races yourself.
 
Bimmerkid: I could. ;)

Klos is right, by the way - ratings are way higher in America showing NASCAR than showing Le Mans for a whole day or WRC.

Though I am for NASCAR freaks doing left-hand turns in their driveway. Vroom.
 
How can you possibly sit and watch the television for 24 hours anyway? I'd rather go out and do something as opposed to sitting on my ass watching a race.

Of course, I'd rather watch WRC instead of NASCAR.
 
Yeah, Klos, I understand your point, but every year that race is not only exciting but also incredibly historic. I don't think there would be anything that could get me in front of a TV for anything more than two or three hours.

Nah, I just wait for every NewYears day when Speed(vision) shows the entire WRC season back to back.

That is how I usually recover on New Years day, laying on the couch, nursing my sore head and watching 8+hours of WRC
