    I went onto the Speed TV website and only found what it seems to be repeats of the 2004 season.

    Can anyone guide me or if anyone here has the shcedule for the 2005 season that Speed TV will be showing in Eastern Standard Time .
    Thanks in advanced.

    my problem is that the name of the shows arent "WRC....." so my tivo wont catch them. It is usually a bland title, something like "Racing." I would love to watch WRC on Speed, but it is hard to find.

    On another note, i did find ROC (Race of Champions) on the other night. I watched Schumacher get his ass handed to him in a Ferrari.

    Buyers beware of 2.8dohcvtach . He is a liar and a thief. Do not do business with him. He will take your money and send you something that isnt what you paid for.

    Well, given that the 2005 WRC season does not start until January 21st...Don't worry, SpeedTV airs its broadcast on each Sunday at the end of the rally at 9:00pm EST. Should be the same as in 2004.

    If you look under FIA Rally, it has the upcoming coverage. The only one listed so far is the Monte Carlo on the 23rd of this month.

    Going to try and catch it as I finally have SpeedTV.

    Any good magazines/sites to get info on the cars and drivers? (Besides Rally magazine)?

    "Rally XS" magazine is great unless you were talking about that one.

    What sucks is that Speed pushed the WRC even later now and as mentioned they just title it "Auto Racing". Next thing you know they'll slowly ease it out.

    Any chance on catching rally action on a channel other than Speed?

    They've been phasing it out for the past couple of years now Two/three years ago they had same day coverage, one hour a night which equaled three hours of rallye coverage which made me happy.

    Then last year (year before?) they started doing two hours condensed on Sunday night. The first half hour was a rallye pre-show (which you could catch seperate the Friday before) with each additional half hour being day one two and three.

    This year it's been pushed later in the time slot (to make way for nascar re-cap shows ) and they've completely dropped the pre-show thus only one&half hour.

    What's next year going to hold? 20 minute segment on wind tunnel?

    No. Next year, you just get a ticker on the bottom of the screen announcing the winner during some NASCAR debate.

    All I can say is I hate nascar even more.

    i've been on a a weekly complaint email campain to speed regarding the NASCAR overdose and the lame reality based car shows-- they used to run the BTCC, DTM, and v8 supercars in the early evening, but not now. After they kill WRC, what next, F1?!?

    I know what you mean. I think I'm going to start writing emails too. Why don't they just give smashcar it's own channel and bring speed back to what it was when it first aired.
