that was Speedvision, the good one was just Speed. It was bought by Fox probably 10 years ago. They turned Speed into NASCRAPvision and dropped all the good racing they had on Speed.
One day was Formula 1 and they'd show races from the'50s and '60s, plus the current one live. Then they'd show a lot of off road and road racing stuff like Baja and desert races and even Truck racing, not pickups like Nascrap uses, Big truck cabs, as in semis, road racing! Htat was some wild racing in Europe
One day was airplanes, in general and racing, Lots of good WWI and WWII footage, O
ne day was boats with all kinds of racing, both power and sail. Fuul coveralge of hte America' Cup, and some Great sailing stuff with some weird outriggered sailboats and some little hot rod boats racing through channels like Gymkhanas. These things were fast, V8 powered and had an occasion to hit the edge of the channels and flip.
It was some Motorcycle racing was usually Tuesday, with AMA and FAI Racing, All classes and series, with Trials, Scrambles, and Supercross. They had a week long coverage from the Isle of Man, all classes and races. They ran a lot of live AMA races, which was usually not a good idea as AMA races invariably run long because of the plethora of red flags those guys use! They showed a lot of historic racing too. It was the good old days in motorcycle coverage along with the rest of the motorsports world
When Fox took over they slowly got rid of all of the good stuff and replaced with it horrible junk like Pinks, Truck crashes, lousy days of idiots crashing anything. And then hours spent on watching NASCRAP guys sitting around a table BSing, like some women's daily talk show.
Fox destroyed all the good stuff and frankly I don't care for the way they have done MotoGP the last few years with some American announcer breaking in at the commercial breaks and at the beginning and end of the show, telling us something that I'd rather hear from the guys who are actually there, or at least know what their talking about!!
NBC Sports got the Formula One stuff and the motorcycle racing get kinda scattered all over the place, NBC Sports is getting NASCRAP from Fox next year So I guess Fox is getting out of motorsports which will be no loss! If they keep Varsha, things will be good again!
