Default FIA WRC not on Speed???????

Anyone else here notice that there's no mention of the WRC on speedtv.com yet? The first race of the '06 season is Jan. 20-22 @ Monte-Carlo. Please don't tell me they've dropped it

I've been watching and reading this and it BLOWS!

If you look at SpeedTV's web site all the ads/quick links are for NASCAR related stuff. I have nothing against NASCAR and it's supporters but come on and hour and a half every two or three weeks isn't that much to ask is it?

I hope someone from Speed Channel is out there reading this...

Nascar indirectly owns Speed, so I'm not suprised.

I miss Speedvision!

Well it looks like the newest news (read gossip) is that Eurosport, a European SpeedTv type channel who historically aired the WRC and who subsequently is the feed source for SpeedTV's WRC coverage, has actually just recently decided to cover the '06 season. So maybe, just maybe, with at least the feed now available and no official yea or nay from SpeedTV there may be a last minute decision. Cross your fingers folks.
