Truncated TV Schedule announced for this year's Sebring 12hrs race



Listening to Speed Freaks interview with Scotty Scooter' Pruett last Sunday night about this week's Sebring 12 Hours race, got me thinking 'bout how pathetic "live" race coverage  via television Stateside for this iconic Sports Car race still is...


Yet a very quick search upon Zed Internetz found the following info noted upon this year's Sebring  12hrs race, which Y'all can catch the first three hours live upon Fox Sports 1 (FS1) Saturday morning before a further 27hrs of RASSCAR Roundy-round action; BARF!


While I can't say I'm overly impressed with the lack 'O Celestial Television coverage being offered for this year's race overall - which despite the previous story above, according to my NFB Newsline for The Blind TV service, FS1 is only hosting the first two hours of the race, i.e.; 7:30-9:30AM Pacific before returning to its Wall-duh-Wall Taxicabs coverage...

Adding insult to injury, the vaunted Day after highlighted recap is only 2hrs, if that's what I-T is? And worst yet, airs from 5-7AM Pacific; Bloody Hell Mates!

Thus, I may try the web streaming thingy, which hopefully goes a whole Helluva better than my Pirelli World Challenge endeavour!! Chirp-Chirp, Bueller; Uhm? Where is I-T, I give UP!

Nonetheless, think this 3hrs; Err 2hr "live" 'Mini-cast vignette; Uhm, snippet is somewhat better than what I lambasted ALMS 'bout A-L-L those years ago, eh? Which tends to make me believe I haven't watched any Sebring TV coverage in 5yrs now, since I know I missed I-T whilst winging my way Down Under four years ago...
