Tick, tick, tick. I wonder if my Tivo Season Pass needs to be edited (only if they change the name)?

Well I know TO Marco sure as helll would like Speed to provide high-def coverage of F1. Although we are not NASCAR fans, looking at the quality of that broadcast is enough to make an F1 fan cry - it's stunning!

Does Speed still do a season wrap-up show? I know in the past they have but it didn't air until late November or even December I think.

And did I hear correctly that it is Honda that is going to build an all new F1 car from the ground up?

that is true. i know the thing is a POS, but you can learn something from poor performances as well as good. hopefully they took something away from this season to put towards next.

i dont know about the wrap-up show.

They'll probably pick up 5 seconds a lap or so simply by getting rid of that incredibly ugly paint job. You cannot reasonably expect a car to go fast when it's embarrassed to be seen on the track.

Much better than Standard Def TV, but it is not true Hi Def, it is only 16x9 and line doubled.

Really wish they would start feeding true Hi Def from all the races. Currently only US and Canadian GP are in true HD....now only Canada.
