More than just a few, I suspect. In fact there's probably more than a few expat's here who would love to see some homegrown racing again - like me!

Yipee!

Wanna offer up 5 bucks from your allowance? I'd say $5/month to get SV is a real bargain!

Radisichrox - you might even see some races we didn't!

Emfa, I'm thinking of trying that.

YES,YES,YES!!! Christmas came early this year!!! I've been waiting for this day to come for years!!!! It would be even cooler if they rebroadcast all those old DTM races?? Surely those races should be cheap to buy the broadcast rights for???

Now I am glad I stuck with Speedvision all these years!!

While many road racing fans in the US have thought SV would become
The NASCAR Network, it would appear that is not the case.

However,some US sportscar racing fans don't think touring cars,especially DTM cars, are any better than NASCAR on road circuits.

I for one could not be happier about this news.

Most race fans I know have never heard of the DTM, AMLS, BTCC, or ETCC, let alone formula 1!
