I certainly hope the powers that be @ Speed Channel see fit to tear themselves away from the "Hicks on Slicks" long enough to cover Lemans this year so we can all watch this in action :!:

That gives me a great reason to attend the Le Mans race this upcoming year. It's located about a 5 1/2 hour drive from me. :lol:

Well, it's going to be run at Sebring Florida in March too. That's about a 23 hr. drive for me, but I'm still thinking about going

You know... Sebring WILL be on the Speed Channel...

Now, if only I had cable...

(FWIW, TDIClubbers will know me... but I'm a n00b here)

Yes!

Of course!

Well, I'm stuck in the sticks with a dial-up connection, so it won't do me much good :cry:
But for the others more fortunate on the forum, please do

If I thought I could have the Diesel Tub ready in time for Sebring I'd def be there. But as I'm only midway through my pan replacement (car now in "Fred Flintstone" mode) that's not likely to happen :wink:

Hopefully, someone with Speed Channel can tape the thing for me, so I can see the whole race... I think I know someone that might have it, too

Quote from: "Sebring Raceway News"

The American Le Mans Series opens the 2006 season with the 54th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, scheduled for March 18 on SPEED Channel. Series teams will have the opportunity to test at the second annual Wheels Down Winter Test from Jan. 23-25 at Sebring International Raceway.

No time, yet, though.

Bump this up because the 18th is getting close.

What time does the coverage start on SPEED Channel?

bhtooefr · « **Reply #13 on:** March 17, 2006, 02:19:19 am »

The schedule is here.

It's in several pieces, but...

For Eastern Time:

10:30-1:00 (first part)
2:30-6:30 (second part)
7:30-11:00 (third part)

Central Time:

9:30-12:00 (first part)
1:30-5:30 (second part)
6:30-10:00 (third part)

Mountain Time:

8:30-11:00 (first part)
12:30-4:30 (second part)
5:30-9:00 (third part)

Pacific Time:

7:30-10:00 (first part)
11:30-3:30 (second part)
4:30-8:00 (third part)

They have NASCAR inserted in between the parts... :roll: BUT, the parts are all live. Now, can someone record all of this for those of us unlucky enough to not have Speed Channel (or any cable)?

What day? is it the 23rd then?

I could capture it but I'm not sure how I'd distribute that to anyone. That would be an insanely huge file.
