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. :roll:

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?

Have you tried OLN on Versus?

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