New series on Discovery Channel: The Road to Le Mans
A few minutes ago at Discovery Channel (Dutch version) there was a promo for a new series: The Road to Le Mans. At the Dutch Discovery Channel this new series starts on Monday 21 November. Don't know about other countries.

I have seen the promo again and they show Creation mechanics and their car. So I think it's especially about Creation.

Very old news I'm afraid, but we only recently found out the broadcast dates.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned it on here when it was first announced but that was a long time ago. It's a documentary following Creation's road to Le Mans. It covers winter development of the DBA with the build up to Le Mans and the race itself. Three one hour episodes starting Monday 21st November.
Creation circulated a press release on 5th May this year which you'll find archived in their news section. It's also been discussed on Creation's own forum which will give you a few extra details.
Creation's website can be found here.

Cool, it will be fun to watch. I hope it brings more main stream media to Le Mans in the U.S.A, which in my opinion is just as important as the Indy 500. Discovery shows Top Gear every week in the US.

Sad to say, it's not likely to come to America. Problems with rights over Le Mans, apparently. Speed TV is currently a roadblock... Or was last time I spoke to slick.

Wonderful. They treat sportscar racing like a second-rate ******* child compared to NASCAR most of the time, but will fight tooth and nail to protect their rights to do so. Don't get me wrong, I still like SpeedTV some of the time, I'd much rather it was there than nothing at all. Still, I guess the part of me that remembers the glory days of Speedvision can't help but look for a reason to snipe them.
That, and I want to see this show!
EDIT: Part of me finds it very funny that we can't talk about illegitimate offspring on this forum.

At least they show Le Mans. A LOT OF IT!!!!!!!!! So, let's be nice, because I would hate to watch Le Mans on the eurosport live deal on the net, like I watch the SPA/Zolder 24 on HIBN.

Yes, I know...I just can't help but pine for the days when they showed Le Mans and the other enduros uninterrupted. Now that was what a motorsport network whould do!

You have just answered your own question. $peed is a NA$CAR Network, not a Motorsports Network.

FWIW, I agree with you. Unlike most other censored words, I find no great offence in this term. It has a wholly legitimate use, if you pardon the pun....
