Does anyone know if the WRC is being televised in Canada this year. I couldn't find it on Speed Channel.

No. It's over. We're all NASCAR fans now. Right?? >:(

Now all we need is for the people that started Speedvision, to start it all over.

Give me all the rally, swamp buggy racing, sportscars, etc. over 1 flipping minute of endless rehash of NASCAR. They don't even have the rights to the actual races, all they do is talk about it before and after!!!

The only reason I haven't dropped Speed is that it is part of my cable package that includes Discovery Channel, which is far more entertaining than Speed.

And to add insult to injury, it turns out that "WRC Plus" paid/subscription coverage (on www.wrc.com), is absolutely pitiful. It took about 7 minutes to go over all its content :(

To put it simply; This sucks. There certainly is a lot of NASCAR coverage on SPEED, and frankly, I too am not watching it much anymore. I assume that they will change the name to Oval Racers World, or something like that in the near future.

I wish I had access to British TV broadcasting. They know how to cover motorsports. I noticed that ATV is picking up the Canadian Rally Championship, so that is good news.

If you have a high speed connection, try this site:

Just received an email from WRC.com

"Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry! Unfortunately contracts are still being negotiated in the US and we hope to be back on air very soon,

So no TV...yet
