First post in such a thread !
Can't wait for the GP, already have VIP passes for the whole crazy weekend. Could be our last chance to see some major teams over here if things keep going down as they do...
I was also about to race the same weekend before GP on which will also runs one of six Turkish Circuit Championship (TCC) with my Renault Clio Cup Car but, Turkish Motorsport Federation boosted up the admission fee outrageously so I and my three other friends backed off...
Still it will be one hell of a race I presume !!

The next four F1 races (Turkey, Britian, Germany, Hungary) are being televised on FOX in the U.S. and will not be on SPEED. The races will be tape-delayed and not telecast live on FOX. Practice and qualifying will be shown live on SPEED as usual and will not be affected.
Those of us in the U.S. would likely prefer to watch these races on FOX because it is guaranteed to be on - unlike the spotty Internet streams lately - and it will be broadcast in full HD and Dolby 5.1 SS. But this will prevent us from watching it live and participating in the live banter threads.
Thus, for the next 4 races we will have 2 race banter threads. One will be for those who want to watch it live. The other will be for those who want to watch on FOX.
I will start up the 2 race banter threads just after qualifying for each race.
Please be careful not to post any spoilers in the FOX race banter thread.
This is the best solution I could come up with. If there are any other suggestions, I am happy to entertain them.
Thanks!
Dana

FOX will be telecasting the race at Noon PST on Sunday.
I have church at 1:00 pm so I will not be here for much of the FOX banter thread.
Darn.
