Nice to see that the F550 is still competative with the newer cars. The first half the race was amazing to watch.

Anyone get a chance to see it?

We don't get cool racing like this aired in america. Too much nascar media marketing crap.

You can download the full race thru a torrent.

Check out racing underground. I've been watching the the past 2 seasons that way. They cover just about all motorsports even.

https://www.racing-underground.com/

Oschersleben was probly the most exciting race this season and, it was agin proven that the chicane is the worst place to try and pass.

Oh and where is Sean Edwards, havent seem him since Monza, are they all done in the GT series?

The next race is Spa 24 hours, I dont think the F550 will survive, they had series brake issues at Oshersleben.

I'm downloading round 1 of wtcc 2008 as we speak. Thanks for the tip Aaron. I miss the coverage Speed used to give a couple years ago.

I finally finished watching the torrent this morning. Was pretty good although I thought the Adria race was a little better. That battle for the GT2 win was pretty fun to watch in those final laps :).

the Porsche Supercup has clashed with FIA GT for the past 2 races so that's why you haven't seem him since Monza :D

Now the lawn may NEVER get mowed...

Jeez I figured you guys new about that site, there is anohter one, but racing underground has more seeders.

They have just about every motorsport event there. From nascar to F1, you can even download the 24 hour races, just be preparded to make some hard drive space. I buy DVD and just copy them over, my DVD player can play AVI and Divx movies so I throw them in and watch the race commercial free on the plasma.

Its a great site, but please seed a bit after you download as it keeps the torrent alive. I usually download something over night and let it seed while um at work.

The GT2 battle was great, how about Collard bailing thru the chicane. I dont think he did it on purpose as he looked like he was going to loose it in the first part and the car over corrected and went straight.

Nice to see the F550 and the Saleens back in the mix.
