Zero Le Mans coverage!

[Rave Racer]

    Sorry, you're absolutely right.  THE LeMans race is an important event
worldwide.  However I do think that the individual events in IRL and CART
get far more coverage in North America then even the LeMans race.  It's to
bad even one Canadian station didn't make an effort to cover the event.  It
could have meant good ratings and made someone's TV career to have been the
only one covering such an event.
    I would never accuse anyone of being a number one Nascar fan!  Nascar
fans don't tolerate Audi's.
