Formula 1 and Rolex/Grand-Am for those WITHOUT cable/SPEED?

So our local Time Warner is getting well out of hand in regard to cost. I'm under high pressure to dump the "extra" channels, of which is SPEED.

I would really prefer to keep viewing F1 and Rolex/Grand-Am.

I'm coming up empty with viewing options outside of SPEED TV and cable.

Anyone have the magic fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

DirecTv and DISH are the only options for any television here.

Sorry to say this Rallye-9 but hsauto-x'r has summed it up...

About the only time you will get to see F1 other than on SPEED is when they shift the coverage to their parent company FOX. I believe that FOX televises 3-4 GP/year... As for Grand-Am... well since SPEED & NASCAR have such a cosy relationship your chances of seeing the Rolex cars on anything but SPEED is nil... sorry.

My Time Warner bill was going sky high.
I switched to ATT U Verse.
More reasonable.
Just a thought.
