Thanks for the links Matt. Last year watched a stream from AUs TV but didn't save linky or can I remember TV station....it was great coverage. Will give this a go. Disappointed Speed channel (or should I say NASCAR channel) has nothing listed for viewing that I can see....maybe the Nascar guys don't consider this a "real race"? O well.

well http://www.robbygordon.com/ is one of the remier USA efforts & i'll guess until someone like him scores a victory nobody in America will think its potentially a money maker in the TV realm....it bums me that international motorsports ant get a grip in America, hel Football(called soccer in America) is actualy gaining ground so why not Dakar Rally?

My oldest son is living in Germany right now. He's going to forward link to me of streaming (?) website he's using for dakar coverage...can get in 5 languages...it covers 24 hr/day with recaps every 2 hrs or something..says so far coverage is excellent. Will post when get.

Have you tried OLN on Versus?

Never mind, I just searched out local listings and OLN in not covering it this year. WTF
