Wow, Kuba is in the Axis team? This is awesome, wish you all the best guys, give them hell! :)
ReplyDeleteSupremely disappointing to learn that for those of us who refuse to pay ridiculous prices for cable TV access, the contract they signed with Speed to broadcast the race means that ALL US residents are blocked from viewing the race on the ALMS website. If you don't have cable, you can't watch and American series racing cars in America. UN. BE. LIEVABLE. The ALMS really don't care about the people that pay their checks. Not having TV coverage in the US to speak of in the last few years is why they got in bed with NASCAR. I'm seriously rethinking spending almost a grand to take a camper and a bunch of friends to my annual Petit Le Mans trip if this is how they are going to treat us. It's like the ALMS can't negotiate worth a damn because their TV deals have gotten worse every year. Even the CEO, Scott Atherton, basically told all the ALMS fans that it was up to them to give their ISP enough shit to carry ESPN3 so they could watch the races. He basically blamed all of us because they have zero ability to negotiate contracts. I'm sure all their sponsors really love the fact that they get less and less eyeballs every year due to their incompetence.
ReplyDeleteGood luck guys!
