I would agree with you up to a point.. yes it is extremely annoying when
the schedules are changed but at least British Eurosport are offering full
coverage. Ordinary Eurosport are just showing highlights packages a few
days after the event.
Alternatively in the UK Channel 5 show the whole race around 2am on a
Tuesday morning. Of course it's not ideal but certainly preferable to what
we had not so long ago... basically nothing more than brief highlights of
the Indy 500 and then highlights of the season when Mansell was over there.
I have found the Eurosport schedules on the website to be the best way to
go when planning any viewing of the channel, the TV magazines, papers and
teletext are far too often out of date.
I for one have signed the petition and passed on the url to get some
friends (even though they aare not into motorsports particularly) so that
they could do likewise.
