Hey did anyone hear that Monaco, Italy (Monza I am assuming), Canada, and the US are going to be broadcasted on ABC? I never got to see ABC's coverage last year because I was at the race, was it any good? I think Speed channel is still broadcasting the practice and qualifiying live for those races.

 

I can beleive the USGP and Canadian GP, but why would ABC spend the money to cover the European races live? Only the fanatics get up early on Sun morning to catch the races. The North American races live on Sun afternoon can pull more viewers.

BTW, their coverage last year was weak. I ended up waiting for the SV coverage on tape delay.

Does anyone know if Speed Channel has the same announcing crew this year?

 

Everyone is the same exept for Sam Posey (thank the god!). The new guy's name is Rick Debruhl. Never heard of him but he can't be any worse the Poser, I mean Posey.

 

Bob Varsha is being replaced by Rick DeBruhl. ??? Don't know who he is. David Hobbs and Steve Matchett are still doing color. Sam Posey has some illness and won't be doing broadcasts this year. Hope everything goes well with him, but I couldn't stand listening to him.

 

Bob Varsha will be announcing for CART.

And I hope they get new announcers for the ABC broadcasts. They were awful. "and he is passing that.. that.. other car"

 

9pm...that is early, got to cancel some plans this weekend


the only person i really need to listen to is Matchett, since he has the most recent experience
