She's simply not the caliber of driver needed to be competitive in Formula One.

But it really depends on NBC's licensing agreement with the FIA and Bernie.

Ideally, NBCSports would carry all the events in real-time streaming and then do a delayed rebroadcast of the race to...

IMO, the major issue will be that as people find the streams then NBC will be all over the server owners to restrict content transmission or relaying to a U.S. IP address. NBC was very successful in...

You may find there are some significant problems streaming coverage from Sky next year. NBC has been known as a real PitA when it comes to protecting their broadcast rights here in the U.S. And,...

I will keep a relatively open mind on the move to NBCSport but I keep having this bad feeling that NBC will make all the usual mistakes large television networks make when covering sports. As an...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to my request. I'm sure there were issues in some cases but it sounds like Austin did a great job for a first time event. BTW, I would expect that the...

What I would like to see/hear are some reports on access to CoTA. Not in the sense of bashing but some honest reports on how well the process of getting to the event went. How well did the shuttle...

Frankly, I'd like to see F-1 go back to having two (or more) tire manufacturers.

Austin isn't really part of Texas.

Your source?

I assume that you mean that NBCSports will carry practice/qualifying/races live on their cable service and the race live (tape edited) on over-the-air channels for those races that...

Nobody has to "convince" any hotelier to block all their rooms when a major event is announced. It is standard practice. In fact, in cases of major chains the blocking is done from the corporate...

I remember my one trip to see the Indy 500. Slept overnight in a Triumph TR-3. I'm still working the kinks out.

As someone that has worked in and around the broadcast industry for all my career I tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to pirating programs from servers outside of the country. I have no...

I'm in the process of evaluating my cable TV packages to see if I can save some money since SpeedTV is a premium service and without F-1 I see no reason to continue paying for it.

Yeah!! With 7, 8 and 9 climbing, turn 10 across the apex of the hill and then 11 & 12 diving down to sweep under the 3->4 "bridge. Turn 10 across the apex would bring some excitement back as the...

Most sporting event coverage when dealing with international venues is done out of a commentary "booth" (or studio) in the local country. It is just way to expensive to try to do this kind of stuff...

Those things you mention are all "staged" events and there is little need to have the commentators on-site in Austin. What is needed in Austin is a good show producer that can lone up these kinds of...

If you are doing commentary from a studio in Charlotte and have your view of the event limited by the content of the international feed I'm not exactly sure how the final product could be "so much...

Keep in mind that Speed most likely doesn't do the origination of the events and, because of that, the event commentators are better off being located in a facility where their actual view of the...

Maybe NBC is finally going to do something about providing more services for the cable market. There isn't a lot they can do for the over-the-air broadcasts.

I haven't been in that area for a long time but ESPN/ABC use to have a major complex near Stamford CT. If they are retrofitting it might be the old ESPN building

You do mean "artificial turf", right? Astroturf is a product manufactured under license and with strict quality control of both the product and its installation.

The people who are running the Korean track need to find some more events that can be run during the rest of the year. The place is used one weekend a year and then falls apart because nobody is out...

Let's just hope they used a better glue than what was used on the Astroturf in Korea.

I spend a lot of time in front of a mirror arguing both sides of the issue. ;)
