CaressBrazilian.com (magazine ad)

Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards

Speed-TV Coverage of Formula 1 Racing
In America, Formula 1 racing isn’t as popular as NASCAR. While there certainly are a number of fans, it’s not enough to warrant a huge international traveling expense for analysts and crew. Thus, Speed-TV’s coverage is hampered dramatically.
For example, Speed-TV uses a camera feed supplied by the …

GameInformer Magazine
