Race fans are probably some of the most spoiled sports fans on the planet. Traditional sports have long offseasons. Auto racing, doesn't really have an offseason. Instead, we have a period of time in which the next season has not yet started.
We are now in that period. Race fans channel surf on weekends, hoping to find something interesting. However this year it seems that will be a little easier.
At the conclusion of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, NBCSN made the first public promo for the Race of Champions. For race fans, the Race of Champions is like our olympics. Two of the most successful drivers from any given country compete to become the Champion of Champions.
In previous years, US television hasn't touched the Race of Champions. Few even know it exists. Yet NBCSN has announced it plans to air the event on a one week tape delay.
NBCSN has quickly become the new SpeedVision. Boasting a line up that includes the biggest three motorsports in the world, NASCAR, IndyCar, and Formula 1, as well as racing's minor leagues such as GP2, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda, USF2000, and ARCA. They don't slouch in sports cars either, sharing coverage of the Pirelli World Challenge with MavTV.
Very few people ever thought we would see the Race of Champions over here in the United States. Thankfully, NBCSN knows auto racing can build a network. It worked for ESPN, so far it's working for NBCSN.
