FYI - don't know how many of you watch IRL, ALMS and F1, however the networks have conspired this week so you can not Tivo all 3, they overlap on times

The best I came up with was to tape ALMS & IRL on Sunday and go for the repeat of F1 shown on Wednesday.

I am gone from Friday until Wed anyway so it's not a problem for me to wait until then Cross posting in ALMS thread...
yea same problem here.

I got alms, irl, f1, gp2, moto gp and grandam.

had to sacrifice irl for the rebroadcast on monday.

that broadcast sucked ass!!!!! i have no idea how paul tracy went from 15 to 5th... cause they never showed a single of his passes. I think they showed 4 passes in the whole race.

glad marco screwed up and hit Danica! lets see her bitch and moan.

I agree. Where were the replays?? This is a perfect example of why open wheel racing will always trail a distant second to Nascar in North America. Even the post-race ceremonies are weak. You can hate F1 all you want, but they have the formula right.

I agree, that was some of the worst camera work i've seen in recent memory.
They had qualifying live on indycar.com - with Scott Goodyears commentary.....

I agree on the coverage. How many times did we spend whole laps following the lead cars who were saving fuel and weren't trying to pass while there was side by side action in 4-8th places. How many cars did Tracy pass and how many did we see on camera? I couldn't believe how bad the coverage is and how banal the commentary is.

Pete thanks, I will check that out for next race!

I Paul Going to eat lots at Subway - hope they get him into the next road course as well.

I was SO hoping he and Danica would have contact or some altercation... I'm pretty sure he'd shove/hit/punch her back

VERY disappointed with my "son" Marco
