NOT A CANOE! I swear.
So, I saw an advert for this thing called MAV TV- channel 214 on my directv. Maybe all is not lost with the speed channel going away? I flipped to it, and got treated to some dirt track sprint cars.... after that is some endurocross, and after that is drag boats. We might get lucky here.....

I also heard rumors of WRC and some other things. This seems positive.
Brighthouse has MAV too but I don't currently pay for the channel
I +1'd you only for your avatar picture.
Our cable provider doesn't offer mav-tv

September is tomorrow, everyone needs to run the lighter monster.
Yes, they have WRC, though it's not an HD signal, which is disappointing. Still, better than nothing.
It's owned by Forrest Lucas so expect the Lucas sponsored racing series and Lucas adverts. I asked this question in the Speed thread but no one replied.

According to tvracer.com they have been carrying the full WRC season. Unfortunately my cable isn't providing it yet.
As the OP indicated, it's 214 on DirecTV, not 241. Yes, they show WRC, also some other good racing. So between NBCSN, Mav, and Velocity (and Fox1 for sports cars) we are still getting good coverage, you just have to hunt (and pay) for it. Rallye Deutchland tonight at 7 PM Eastern on MAV.
My Classic Car at noon today. I'm happy
Any chance it can be streamed online? I'll even sit through commercials and listen attentively to what they're selling, I promise.

I don't currently have the capability to do so- my TV isn't hardwired to my stuff.... yet.

OK, so I'm a little dyslexic. Now that I've found it I see lots of goodies on there.
Now I've got to see if there's any buggy racing down here.
I'm a bit numerically dyslexic, too - not with letters, though, but I have to be really careful with numbers. Makes proofreading lots of fun.
Don't forget fox sports 2 channel 618 on DirecTV. They had V8 supercars followed by Nascar practice and qualifying on Saturday.
