 Nurburgring 1999, a wet mess that almost saw BOTH Minardis in the points (and did see both Stewarts on the podium :scotland: ) Also, Spa 1998, starting with the biggest single wreck in the history of Formula One and finishing with Damon Hill's last win :britain:
More recently, trying to remember which of this past year's tire blowout fiestas in F1 was the most entertaining...

Varsha, Hobbs, and John Bisignano were the usual ESPN guys when they covered F1.

CBS (I think--may have been Fox or even both) also covered a few races a year in the mid '00s, usually with Ralph Sheheen on commentary.
yeah, it was CBS and Ralph Sheheen and Derek Daly IIRC. Then they FINALLY did the sensible thing and give it to Fox, so they could just run Varsha Hobbs and Matchett on the big stick.

Speaking of which, this might be a pinch offtopic but what is Varsha doing this season? Is he still with Fox?

After the 2002 Indy 500 they mention showing the Monaco GP after the race with Danny Sullivan being on site for the event.

(what is odd is that NBCSN was bragging about the Monaco GP being on Network TV in the US for the first time ever, which appears false according to this)
Oh it was on Wide World of Sports back in the day. But this was I think the first time it was LIVE on network TV in the US.
