TSN covers all the races live. They have their own commentators for the pre race and then cut to the live ITV feed. All in all not bad coverage.
I don't know where you are moving from, but either get a VCR or get used to waking up early. Over here in Vancouver the races start at 4:30 in the morning, requiring a nice pot of coffee to stay with the action. In Toronto it won't be bad being 7:30 for the European GPs.

allan,
go to the following link to TSN (the sports network) website's TV sched.

http://www.tsn.ca/broadcast/Schedule.as ... 02006&TZ=0

With this you won't miss a single race start time. You're right Nick, I usually program my VCR & tape all the action just in case I nod off during those ho-hum races even after coffee & toast.

Here in Edmonton, Alberta the TSN coverage begins on Sat. mornings with a 1 hour qualifying coverage. Race day coverage begins on Sat. (usually at 5:30am) with a half hour pre-race program. I actually like the early morning race time. It's early enough on Sat. mornings that wife & kids are fast asleep & it's nice and quiet for me to watch the race without any interruptions. Then just as the race show finishes at 8:00am, my kids wake up to watch their Sat. morning cartoons.

I love it. It's perfect for me!

F1 is always broadcasted on TSN but u do have to wake up for the European races, Australian, Malaysia and others. As well, SPEED TV broadcasts most of the races on the same day and CBS brodcasts like I think 4 races, but im not sure, you'll have to chech when cause they broadcast all the time at 12:30 pm so check

It depends on what kind of cable service do you have. If you have just a basic cable package, you won't get either TSN or Speed. That is probably what happened to you last year.
