DSC HDTV.......a nicely done 1 hr show of a team racing vintage AM's ......DB 4's I think.....alot of in car footage. Crank up the surround......

I wish they showed more of other cars/teams as well.......

I saw it! Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! DB4's dueling with 911's, GT-40's, etc.

Wow. Spa in the rain and taking Eau Rouge in a 45 year old car.......at night.......GULP!

In High Def and highly recommended.

That was very entertaining. It seems as though DSC HD theater is showing a lot of the same sort of content lately that made the original Speedvision so good. Hopefully they will continue along this path and not sink into the pimpmyuniquenopidriftrod mode.

+1 Jim. I agree that the "new" Speed Channel suxs. I miss all the racing that they used to show.

Thanks! I've just set Autotune for Saturday's showing.

Thanks for posting. The DVR is set to capture - hopefully this will be the beginning of a trend if they get sufficient viewers.

Spread the word to other classic BBs you frequent to bolster viewership....

That was a jaw dropper right from the start. The sights, the sounds. Oh my, the DB4GT. It's in the top 5 of my favorite cars list. And Spa. Gosh I love that track. It's amazing how the European approach to vintage racing differs from over here. They really, really go. I was totally mesmerized the whole show.
