Hi people Just a quick note to all fellow England people. On 'Record Breakers' BBC1 next week there is going to be a article on some sort of record at the Daytona track, FL. Mark ***moan rockband homepage [link lost in import: /~msumm/Index.html]

Probably not for this newsgroup but:- I had a holiday to the states early this year and managed to visit C***te Motor Speedway and Daytona, sadly there was no racing, they were both very interesting all the same. I now have a hunger for Nascar, but I've never seen any coverage of Nascar in the UK, does anybody know if (and when) Nascar racing is on any UK channels, Eurosport has Indycar occasionally but I've never seen any Nascar. ---------------------------------------------------------- Steve Moores. -- Stockport.

Sky Sports showed the race at Daytona live earlier this year, and has shown some occasional Nascar truck racing but other than that coverage of Nascar in Europe is pitiful. You might try writing to Sky to express your desire to see Nascar - if enough people did then maybe they would show it - but don't expect a reply ! *************************************************************************** * Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so... * Glenn Davies * ***************************************************************************

Shome mistake? They showed all of the Indycar races, but not any of the Nascar ones AFAIK. Cheers, Richard

Eurosport covered about half of the Nascar races in highlight form last year, usually about 2 months late and sometimes out of order. Sky covered the Bristol night race live two years ago but neither has shown any this year to my knowledge. "There are NO coincidences" - Jeffrey Sinclair

From reading other newsgroups like r.a.s.f1, it sounds like Eurosport will be showing Nascar & more IndyCars next year, following their loss of F1 coverage. -- Brian Curragh

When? Unless they were showing at 4 in the morning under the title of Over 60s World Curling Championships then I don't see how I could have missed all 40 odd races this year. Far as I know they've only ever showed Nascar as part of Speedworld on Monday nights and even that was last year. "There are NO coincidences" - Jeffrey Sinclair

I'm not to impressed with Indycar, but what I've seen of Nascar looks good. My wife had a total lack of interest in any motorsport, but after a visit to C***te and Daytona this year, our next holiday to Florida has to be when the racing is on!

Doesn't Sky Sports (2?) show NASCAR? Fraser

Cant say I have seen any Nascar on Sky Tv, I know Eurosport showed most rounds last year (95). I think its very bad news that Eurosport have lost the GP. I think someone should DEAL with Mr Eccelstone. Before he ***s GP like he did with WSC. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Parkstone Motor Company Southend on Sea, Essex United Kingdom. -----------------------------------------------------------------

Lucky you then! Could have been as part of one of the general magazine programs. I keep an eye out for specific mentions of Indycar or Nascar in the listings, but can't usually be bothered sitting through 2 hours of club racing. Cheers, Richard
