WRC 2006 - Did Speed Channel Drop WRC?
Since Monte Carlo is getting close and Gigi has a ride in a WRC05, I thought I'd check when coverage was on January 22nd.

No WRC listed that day, and no FIA WRC listed in the program line up.

Niky Grist reported that Speed Channel did not retain him to cover events.

As of now it looks to be officially off the Speed calendar.

Speed Channel should be called NASCAR Channel. Seriously, look at the programming.

I don't think it has been announced for sure. Speed seems to still be nagotiating with the rights holder, David Richards' company.

Best wishes,

I personally don't like Speed Channel.....it's so biased. We should get some of the rich import owners to buy a channel for Imports only. =P cus Whip Set makes me sick...

What happened to Car and Driver on Spike while we are on it? Or the return of Top Gear? A sad day for intelligent non-NASCAR auto enthusiasts!
