Speed Channel will still have 24/7 to fill. Even NASCAR can't do that by
itself. So far, it sounds like only a few marginal shows are being canceled.
I believe I read they'll be starting to carry some CART races live. I don't
want to see the saloon car races disappear either. On a good twisty course,
that's REAL racing!
And, of course the Legends of Motorsports is irreplaceable as the only place
you'll regularly see Sunbeams on the tube, aside from Get Smart.
If Speed Vision was carrying F1 before, I'll bet Speed Channel will continue
it.

(Here in Seattle, near the Great White North, we get the benefit of a
Canadian cable channel. F1 races are often shown delayed on the same evening.)

Up until Monday, the answer was Speedvision. However, due to the buying and
selling that's rife in the cable industry, that channel has now changed
hands and become the "Speed Channel". Many fear that the new owners will
turn it into NASCAR-TV, and those of us who enjoy Formula One, Saloon Car,
VSCC racing and such will be left out in the cold.
I guess it's too early to say.......
