WRC is on American TV!!
I have been a fan of rally racing for a long time now. (I mean, it’s off-road racing…..what’s not to like?!?) The only problem is, no American channels cover it. From what I’ve read over the years, the World Rally Championship (WRC) charges too much for the airtime, and the viewer ship isn’t worth the price. Normally this isn’t a big deal, as you can typically find live (or old) streaming video on a specific series website. Well if you want to do this with the WRC, you have to pay a subscription! And it’s not cheap.
Enter “HD Theater” channel from Discovery networks! I’m a fan of this channel because it shows HD versions of some of my favorite shows from the various Discovery networks. As I was watching last week I saw a commercial for weekly WRC coverage! This is exciting folks! I’m in the middle of watching my first race now. It’s super cool, but there a lot of random rules that I have to get used to. Someday I hope to lift my focus and play with it off-road. Until then I’ll watch the tricked out Focus’ on the series tear it up.
Are there any WRC fans out there? Did you know about this? Can you explain these weird rules?!?!?!
Oh, and they’re also showing the “Race of Champions“. I have never even heard of this but apparently it’s been happening for a very long time. Of course we couldn’t get it on TV here. Now we can!!
I never thought I’d say this but….thanks Time Warner!
