Dakar tv schedule?

[dkmiller68]

Is there any USA television scheduled for the premier off road race, Dakar? I googled it without success. Thanks.

The only station that might carry it would be the speed channel (Adelphia channel 122 here in boonyville,VT)
Doubt if anyone else would.

So finally there are 2 networks showing the awesome race. Wouldn't it be sweet to get our own bloved VX in a team to go to Dakar? I would diffently love to see and be apart of that.

Looks like the "Toe-rag" is in the lead now! Oh well, at least it is piloted by an American!!

[deermagnet]

Speed Channel lost the bidding war to OLN, if there even was one. This is a huge loss for us fans. Incredibly, the OLN coverage starts AFTER the event is over. That's like something networks did in the 70's. :frownr:

[Triathlete]

OOPs! Your right its OLN not Speed. Other than the fact that they are showing it after the fact, OLN usually does a good job with their coverage. They do a great job with the Tour de France...of course they depend heavily on euro stations for their camera coverage.

Robbie Gordon (yes, he's an American) leads in a Volkswagen Touareg.

Hi Guys!

Just wanted to let you know that my friend finished Dakar on the 29th place. His goal was to finish in the first 30 and it actually came through.
Great race, good truck. (Opel Frontera that is actually a cloned Isuzu)
