No coverage whatsoever here in Mexico, but have downloaded Speedchannel's coverage (really sheeite!). Big (and cheap) sport in the UK, did some rallying in my youth, which was great fun, and some marshalling - how about standing in the middle of nowhere at 4 in the morning, in the snow, at about 10 degrees below zero, and then getting narrowly missed by a load of nutters in old Escorts? Sound like fun? Then get into rallying!!
BTW, the next round is here in Mexico, so I'll probably pack-up and go and see it on March 11!

I love it, but no cable or anything like that. Don't know the drivers and that stuff, so reading about it doesn't make sense to me either.
