D1GP on SPEED TV (Short Review)

[YOitzJDM]

Also check fox sports. Somehow, they have been playing some of the episodes on the Fox Sports regional channels.

I do not think so

But they are showing a replay after the F1 race late tonight

And I'm pretty sure another replay will air tomorrow in the day time

All on SPEED

Can i see those online somewhere?

Today they aired the second episode from ebisu...

Another good one with some good battles and crashes

Formula D driver Robbie Nishida went OMT with Hibno

Nakamura in the Dmax S15 went 3 OMTs against Suenaga

Nomura's huge crash

Suenaga brothers went head to head with their parents in the crowd

Some real good action!!

There was more, but that's all I can remember...

[Bebop]

I doubt it, but you can catch the rerun in a week or 2 on FSN.

Periodically check speed as well.... they showed the same episode today as well.

was a awesome episode

[my 1 88 u]

Well we got Ebisu today, and its safe to say they get better as the season goes on.

Easily the best episode of the year and maybe one of the best drift episodes I have ever seen on american TV.

What they did good today

-Highlighted different types of motor setups

-Showed quick yet detailed qualifying highlights

-Lots of crashes and showed the replays over and over lol

-Overall very detailed/informational episode that was far from boring

I didn't know Utsumi drove a S15.3... sad car to see crash.

Awsome episode. The only thing that could have made it better was a half decent announcer. Seriously, fire him.

Good feedback, you'll probably want to post some of that in the irwindale feedback thread... I use to feel the same way about "send it", but over the years its something we say while smiling if you know what I mean.

Yeah, as you read on here... not a whole lot of us are big fans of the current camera angles.

Sorry I really went off topic, my bad.

The announcer was great. It reminded me of some Gamra or Godzilla movie. I really dug the two girls dressed like the twins from the godzilla movie.

Don't get me wrong but I really don't need an announcer. Some quick, raw, heavy guitar and the Drift visuals and I am good when viewing on TV. Im a simple person.

I have to say a few things. don't take these wrong but here goes...

I felt at Irwindale the use of the term "send it" was how do I put this...um...reaching? It just seems like it's a little unnatural, like it's forced and overused. Just me.

I recommend (if its not already being done) the addition of at least 2 road level cameras. It just seems it would put the viewer closer to the feel of the drift.

I noticed that the long shots would sometimes lose the chase care. maybe a third camera for the straightaway, at more of a dead on angle.

Get it straight, I had a blast at Irwindale, I am not complaining in the least...Well one complaint...I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!

Looks like they started airing reruns on Fox Sports Net

I emailed D1gp USA and their production company for any info for 2011, not a single email back. Not surprised.

"Magic" Mike was the only driver not committed to a full FD schedule.

What happened to the US guys? I only saw the chubby dude from jersey!
