There is not much time to lose as the first race of the F1 season is coming up this Sunday on 12 March 2006 in Bahrain. You can join at any point in the season but, if your intent is to win our group it is best to get in on the ground floor.

From speedtv.com:

"Formula 1 returns to SPEED in March 2006.
SPEED CHANNEL - FUEL YOUR PASSION!

www.formula1.com

PLEASE NOTE
Formula 1 has exercised its option to put four races on broadcast television in 2006. The San Marino, Spanish, Monaco and British Grands Prix will be shown on a broadcast network prior to SPEED's delayed telecasts.

The Belgian Grand Prix weekend, September 15 – 17, has been canceled due to ongoing track improvement work.


All F1 events will be blacked out in Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Replays of all F1 qualifying and races on Speed will be shown as scheduled in all countries (including Canada) with NO blackout restrictions."

So, it looks like the races can be seen on Speed TV.

Negative, never visited that forum. out.

I watched the race this morning. I was a huge F1 fan in the 90s, but I loved the technology... The telemetry, witches brew fuels, huge slicks. The year Senna and Ratzenberger got killed were probably the peak of my love of F1. I've kind of been a passive fan since. I'd watch if I happenend to catch it, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Seems like the changes are finally paying off. It was a very exciting race, the part where Shumacher and Alonso ran together with Alonso coming out of the pit was just incredible. I'm not going to get back into watching practices at this point, but I'll definitely be tuning in for the races again.

Qualifying: Midnight (Central Time) Saturday 18 March 2006
Race: 1 A.M. (Central Time) Sunday 19 March 2006
Track: Sepang International Circuit @ Kuala Lumpur:
56 Laps
Lap distance: 5.543km
Race distance: 310.408km
Track record: J.P. Montoya 1'34.223 (2004)

Designed by Hermann Tilke, Sepang is one of the most technical circuits in Formula One. The combination of long high-speed straights, and tight twisting complexes make the track very complicated, but also perfect for overtaking as the track itself is very wide. The drivers love it and, along with Malaysia's distinct atmosphere, it makes for an experience unique in Formula One.
