The bummer is with so much really going on in one day an hour is not enough to really get into it. On the flip side anything longer than an hour might be a bit too much for some folks to sit through. On the flip side of the flip side you talk to folks and there are ALOT that don'y know anything about a DAKAR RALLY so in turn for those that do and are into it, a two hour show say about 8:30 PM would be great. The flip side to the flip side about the original flip side would be a two hour show if it were to be produced might grab the attention of folks who might just be surfing due to more detail and thus create more fans in the long run. Can't help it but the DAKAR rally is just flippin wild. I recall hearing some "grown ups" in 78 (I was 13) talking about some real long off road thing. The DAKAR.........on the flip side is it the DAKAR since they are not ending in DAKAR............of course it is
I can't flippin wait!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried watching the Versus highlight package because we have DirecTV HD Tunes and HD-DVR's here, but since I don't have access to the HD-DVR on a regular basis, there was somebody capturing it and putting on a well known racing torrent site. But after the 2nd update the guy stopped uploading them, so I switch over to Eurosport's Coverage of Dakar which includes a morning update and the finish of the day's stage, on top of having the highlights of the day's stage as well with interview usually in whatever language is the driver's main language with interrupter.
Same here! I don't come 'round much to post (getting a new company off the ground) but I do read frequently through the year. Great group here and the coverage that the members provide is outstanding.
