well worth a look, proper racing on closed public roads, a fair few races, someone went through speed trap at 208mph in practice this week!

That lap was too cool wheelies at 160 + how do you fit testicles that big in a set of leathers! I want to stream the race but it looks like it would be 4:45 am here in Texas on Sat. I'll be pit crewing in a 24 hour chump car race but have been told there is wifi at the track so hopefully will be able to watch. Great to se hutchy is up and riding the video of his accident was horrific.

So... it would start to air at 2AM Saturday morning (or very late Friday night) for us here in the US - I think I have that right? Luckily it is a long race so we could get up early and see the middle to the end!

Thanks I am going to check it out!

Anybody have an app that can TiVo-ish video streams? 
Wonder if they'll have it to stream later on?

I think it is on quite early us time but there is a full days worth of races so the later ones may be on at a more sensible time, there are also normally a few highlights programmes on afterwards as well.
