do as good a job as Speed did. Probably won't air races live and they'll probably be edited to fit in a particular time slot. Just a guess though...

.....I'm being hopeful here...but I hope they show practice and qualifying.

I only hope they keep Bob Costas in another time zone from the broadcast, he's insufferable.

From the original press release --

NBC Sports Group will televise all 20 races of the 2013 season - four on NBC and 16 on NBC Sports Network - as well as qualifying, practice sessions, studio shows and re-airs, amounting to more than 100 hours of programming annually.

Does this include commercials on NBC a la the Fox days?

M_Six · 02-16-2013, 11:55 PM

I see they brought Will Buxton over from Speed. That's a plus. He's good at what he does.

Hes really the only part of the speed team that I liked. Hes also the only one of them that was actually at the races...wonder if that's a coincidence or something...

He's eminently better than that jackass Chris Berman.

That's damning him with faint praise.

TSM330i · 02-17-2013, 06:08 PM

The commentators have been named a while ago.
David Hobbs, Steve Matchett, Leigh Diffey and Will Buxton.

So the "Bob's away at Barrett Auction" crew from Speed. I'm not big on Leigh Diffey. He gets a bit too excited. And Hobbs will be interrupting Matchett again like he always does. Same shit, different network.

Matchett's the one who says har-der tires over and over, right? As if no one understands the difference between the words "hard" and "harder".

Anyone know of a way to get this overseas? Specifically in Germany.

Last year I watched on the BBC, but they don't air all the races.

Need to figure out how to get Sky.

Lee · 02-18-2013, 12:53 PM

Thinking about going to see a race at the Nurburgring this summer. Before spending a grand, just want to see if it's worth it. Thoughts?

fafs · 02-18-2013, 04:08 PM

Thanks for sharing!

jaco · 02-18-2013, 09:52 PM

i think we will see 50% of the coverage speed had.

Sucks.
