Re: Pirelli rule the game (again)?

Wow, I have never seen F1 tires come apart so fast, well maybe at the beginning last year but still Wow. There is so much rubber flying around it looks close to dangerous, get hit in the helmet with a pizza slice size piece of rubber at 190mph, that can't be good.......RT

Re: Pit Stops- How many is the right amount?

I think it probably depends on the circuit. Some circuits need spicing up with pit stops, other certainly do not. The amount of stops for Monaco or Hungary might be different from, say, Spa or Brazil. I had not considered that, years ago when they could run flat out and 1 stop I was wishing for jus...

Re: Pit Stops- How many is the right amount?

Some good points, my perfect number is 1 stop if you run easy and 2 if you push hard the whole race. I must admit it was exciting......RT

Re: Will NBC air practice & qualifying this season?

Looking at the schedule for next weeks race it seems we will only see one practice, FP1. Nothing else until qualifying. Not good! I'm still not sure about this streaming thing, is Universal Sports Network where they plan to stream races? If so they seem to have no information on anything to do with ...

Re: Formula E

Hydrogen, Hmmm didn't think of that. Here are a few things I've been thinking about, 1, What would the car have to weigh to have a close to F1 performance, I quess they will run a 186,500 watt system(250 horse power). My quess would be roughly 600 pounds or 272 KG 2, To make all that power what volt...

I too, think I'll miss Speed's coverage. I rebuilt my TIVO with a new, larger capacity harddrive in anticipation of the new 2013 season. My ears have been 'peaked'..and yet there seems to be zero information from NBC Sports. I already miss the fact that Bob Varsha won't be there to referee Steve an...

Re: New DRS zones announced.

Slightly off topic, I'd like to see the DRS used anywhere, anytime just like qualifying over the past few years and unlike this year. Seems like that could add a lot of excitement and chance for error. On topic, A few DRS zones year could use some tweaking to be more effective so I'm glad to see att...

I believe you have to have a cable provider that offers the channel (NBC Sports Network) and then you can access the stream with your password from your provider. Not sure I understand?
