The new ESPN IndyCar graphics are virtually identical to the current FOM design.

![]() Ahh i've just seen a clip. Interesting. They're certainly similar in the positioning of the lap counter & the "white text on semi-transparent dark grey rectangular box" format, but the Pitstop time counter is completely different. |

The graphics are in keeping with other sports covered by ESPN in the USA; they have been a lot cleaner since last autumn.
The international feed graphics (which will be seen during NBC races) remain unchanged from last year. |

I still hate how ABC/ESPN insist on showing the OnBoards in that split screen layout. Its especially annoying when there showing replays of an accident & the boxes are so small that you can't properly see the contact.
This image is from last year but there using the same layout for this year: http://i.imgur.com/IDAVVUN.jpg Also here's the 1996 F1 Review: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3x...1-review_sport |

Or just back to ESPN HD.
They don't have BT TV AMC on the screen for AMC, they have a diff name on the EPG but why plaster the screen with a logo so huge!! I miss the days when ESPN (America) was just that, nowadays things jump from one channel in the group to another. For instance, why was the Mexico ePrix on BTS Europe? I thought that channel was supposed to be for the Euro-football championships. |

Agreed. BT acquired the name and have to keep it, so i guess they don't want you to forget that 'its our channel really' and we end up with the awful alphabet soup that is BTESPNHD.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned in the thread or not, but I've somehow only just heard the story about a commercial deal still yet to be made between Haas and FOM.
The above article is from February 25th, but according to the guy who broke the story, a deal is still yet to be confirmed. To go along with this, apparently there's been no Haas on-track footage shown by FOM at all on their YouTube channel/official website thus far, although I'm not entirely sure if this is 100% true. I wonder if they'll be completely ignored by the World Feed next weekend then? Hope not... |

They have shown footage of Haas on f1.com, They covered the car launch & showed footage of the car on track over the 2 weeks of testing.

Ah, good stuff. Hopefully everything will turn out to be fine.
People are probably missing the exclusive videos FOM put in their regular news articles on the F1 website too, usually before or after the race: http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-...ildest-ra.html |

BTW its disappointing to see that all of the classic races Sky are showing over the next week are races that have been shown several times before over the past 2 years.
1994 Japanese Gp & 1986, 1994, 1996, 2003 & 2010 Australian Gp's. When they announced they were showing classic races they said they had access to everything going back to 1981 & there are a lot of races from that time which they have not shown yet. It would be nice to see some new races put into the rotation instead of seeing the same one's repeated over & over. To be honest I'd love to see them stop showing random races & start showing full seasons. Start with 1981, Show a race a day or something & work through each year, Including full races where possible. |

Take the AMC channel: Onscreen it is branded as 'AMC' but on the EPG it is listed as 'AMC from BT' so what is stopping them do the same with ESPN?
