More touring car madness this weekend, along with some great vintage action with the Goodwood and Monterey specials. I really enjoyed the Goodwood special from last week, and the Festival of speed is now added to my list of must see things in the near future. The Porsche Supercup special last week covered a round at one of my favorite race tracks of all time, Monaco. Oh yes.

Strangely enough, now SPEED is finally showing all the races we all wanted to see during the season, after the season. While I'm still disgruntled, it's good to get that fix during the winter. If you look around the SPEED schedule during the week, you'll see some F1 race replays as well. Touring Car racing is in abundance on the current schedule, as well as GT1 racing, which isn't common to see on this side of the pond. Good stuff.
