Default What shows do you recommend on the Speed Channel?

Called up my cable company yesterday and got it added to my service. Which shows would you recommend and what time are they on? Pretty much all I saw yesterday was NASCAR, and I'm not really that big a fan of NASCAR. It's alright, but I'm more a fan of rally racing, le mans, import stuff, etc.

Has any one seen the show Hi-Rev Tuners? Is it worth watching? Others?

I like the Speed GT challenge races, WRC rally events, Formula 1, and CART. Sometimes I catch some of the motorcycle racing on Speed. Speed works best with a tivo because they generally show NASCAR crap during the times I watch TV. I set up my Tivo to record the stuff I like and then I can watch it whenever I want to.

check out speedtv.com and you can get the entire lineup. I have the entire FIA and SCCA rally schedule programmed into my phone with reminders set so I don't miss a race.

Seems like ALL they have on now is Nascar during the day and into the evening.

Also check out this site: http://www.tvracer.com/

I have to program my vcr Sunday night for the entire week to make sure I catch anything besides Nascar on Speed.

Be sure to watch F1 Decade.

Anything but Nascar crap that is on 24-7, I like watching powerblock on Spike(TNN). I get much more info than 95% of the crap on speed.

Hi-Rev isn't as bad as it was before. It's still cheap and chezzy, but there are some technical stuff.

The only shows I anticipate on Speed are SCCA Speed World Challenge and Formula 1.

I like the magazine shows--like Moter Trend tv, Car & Driver etc..
Sometimes the Hemmings Classic Car show is pretty good.
