Hahaha I have it easier for some races and harder for others. The China GP airs at 2 or 3 AM my time and I didn't go to bed til nearly 6 AM last year.

I'll be at my GF's place this weekend and won't have any cable TV. As always, I'm going to do everything I can to make it work tho. I didn't realize having a GF would impact the Formula 1 season this much already!

You have to train her like I did my fiance. When we started dating I made it clear that nothing she does will interrupt tv viewing of F1, my annual trip to Montreal, Yankees baseball and soccer. Work on it and enjoy the benefits.

The only one that comes to mind is Stats but I am not positive it is open til 4 and not even sure if they show F1.

Going to have to do some digging. A friend of my fiance and I is celebrating a birthday this weekend and I may have to step out of the club to whichever bar close by that will be showing the race. Let me know if you find any.

I'm working on it. I told her I was busy this weekend when she asked if I was coming to visit but when she grilled me on the reason, she got pretty upset when I told her it was a race weekend.

She lives 4 hrs away so we don't get to see each other all the time. If I could see her whenever I want, I doubt it'd be an issue. The things we do for p*ssy...
