F1 Pay-per-View

[cosworth151]

The last I saw, both France and England will be on Fox. Fox isn't promoting them at all. I haven't seen one advert. Also, the Sport Guide of the TV guide doesn't list either race at all. Shows practice and Quali on Speed, but nothing for the race.

That's what bugs me about Fox - they go to the trouble of getting these races and then make no effort to make a big deal of it.  Instead of shouting the times and channels to see them, they make it a sort of Chinese puzzle with several red herrings to mislead the viewer.  The sooner everything goes back to Speed, the better.

As for Derek Daly, I think he's fine for a few light moments in the canteen.  That Irish accent always makes the jokes seem funnier.  And he's a pleasant change from the deadly serious English announcers scattered throughout F1, although they are necessary too.

A few years ago, they tried to do the two Pocono NASCAR races as pay-per-view. The fans boycotted them on mass and the idea of NASCAR pay-per-wiew was never heard of again. If the fans boycott this nonsense it will come to a stop quicker than Schummi in LaRascasse!

This post needs to be highlighted. The words of a sensible man.
