Just returned from 10 days in freezing UK
Only bright spot was that several of my Hotel rooms offered Sky Sports 5 . A TV channel dedicated to 24 hour coverage of Formula ONE.
What a treat. Interviews with all drivers, past and present. Interviews with designers, managers, agents, pit crew, and more. In depth look at the design elements of the cars, past and present. In depth look at the Formula One Team facilities all around the world. Carbon Monocoque design, 3-D modeling, layup and curing, destructive testing and more. Just fascinating. Coverage of the current testing a Jerez.
And you have to ask yourself how does a country with 65 Million get a TV channel dedicated to ONE tiny sliver of motor racing, and here in the USA, a country with over 310 Million, we apparently cannot justify even a 24-hour channel dedicated to ALL forms of motor racing????? I do miss SPEED.
