Hell yea. Used to watch rally everyday after school. Thanks for the heads up

[ThatGuy]

Thank you!

Since Speedvision became the NASCAR network, I haven't gotten my required dosages of proper racing.

[ZilviaKid]

best news ive heard all year!

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Oh hell yeah!

[highwaystar22]

Discovery Channel?!?!! WHAT WHAT!!!

Now I'm happy like a little girl.

[HyperTek]

we still got F1, now we got wrc back,.. all we need now is FIA GT and Super GT.....

Hopefully Live coverage, not 30 minute recap shows..

[onabulletride]

I don't know if that would work.

such true words. such true words

[HyperTek]

well at least give us all of the event, the runs etc.. not just highlight recap shows..

and no english broadcasters , i think americans usually assume these other motorsports are "euro or foreign" only.. so these never get popular out here, unlike country hick nascar. There is no awareness of these other motorsports because its shown as no-us involved sports.

FUCK YES! Discovery channel, I LOVE YOU.

[Shadowhunter]

Now that IS good news!

[JaeTea]

FUCK YES! Discovery channel, I LOVE YOU.

[!Zar!]

Eh.

Cool I guess.

Still can follow it on racing-underground.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i would say that this is good, but 2009 rallying is not as exciting as 2003 rallying. good job FIA. *slow clap*

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

That's true. WRC had dwindled to Ford vs. Ciroen. They need to do something to bring in more teams.

So many manufacturers have tried their hand at WRC. Even Hyundai and Suzuki. We miss you Subaru and Mitsubishi!

Thank you sir... 10000% agree with this statement!!! I though i was the only one who was like ahhhh, Nascar again??? click, click (channel changed).

I hope so too.

[allmotorking]

don't hold your breath on JGTC. The video rights for the revised SuperGT are available for the US but interest just isn't there. The one DVD that Best Motoring put out did not sell well at all. I really liked the content on the DVD but it's probably #2 on the all time worse seller's list for Best Motoring. hehe. We're probably going to end up giving them away soon..
