Is this series on TV at all? On ESPN or ESPN2? I have never seen it. I watch
the Porsche Supercup Series on these stations, and it is great!! Highly
recommended if you don't watch it already. These guys also do some "bumping
and grinding" on the track, and the racing is cut-throat. These guys are
COMPETITIVE!! In fact, the announcers have sometimes referred to this series
as "NASCAR of Europe" (which I think is a disservice, since NASCAR is a *bit*
boring, being on ovals only....) because of the physical contact. Naturally,
the cars don't even come close... but they have a point regarding the
contact.....

So, if this is not on TV, how do I get the video? Classic Motorbooks? Roughly
how much is the tape? Is this the one advertised in the back of most of the
*better* car mags (ie. Autoweek, European Car...)? I have also seen ads for
the German Touring Car Championship... has anyone bought this... and is it
worth it?

Most of these tapes are fairly expensive (around $40?). Is the action worth
it?
