from www.autoracing1.com CART signs deal with ARD for Germany, and probably Sky for Europe We have it on very good word that CART has done a deal with ARD in Germany to show CART races live, and are close to announcing a deal whereby Sky will show all CART races live throughout Europe. We await the formal announcement. We also hear CART will indeed have an international TV announcement before Long Beach. MC
Now _that_ would be good news for a change. Did I mention that I want a new CART sim from Papyrus? ;-) Achim "rik zeppelin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lTri8.76717$[email hidden]...

Just checked ARD teletext. No mention of CART on Sunday listings. Sky can only be subscribed to in the UK (and Ireland?). Motorsportfans are being screwed bigtime this side of the pond. Jan. =---

I think it's more that after having blatantly neglected motorsports for decades, RTL's landslide success with F1 made ARD recognize that a lot of people in Germany would rather see motorracing than horse-jumping, ballroom-dancing and chess-playing competitions every weekend... ;-) Achim "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%NGi8.246636$[email hidden]...

"Jan Verschueren" . Any German driver in CART this year? > > Jan. > =--- I was gonna make a quip about how with so many Brazillians there must be some German bloodlines mixed in there...but nawwwwwww......:) A few Canadiens, about 3 Yanks, a Sweede, an Ozzie and a couple of Mexicans, one Italian, and two Japanese and just about all the rest are Brazillian.(although Christiano da Matta has what sounds like a French Accent rather than a Hispanic accent. How'd he manage that?) dave henrie

CART was live on AB Moteurs (French Canal+, Astra). Z. -- Please remove my_pants when replying by email.
