The Bathhurst 1000 is an Australian motorcar race. The US broadcaster, following typical US media denial that metric is used anywhere in the world, has specially contracted to ensure they are provided with graphics dumbed down to US Customary so that no one in the US sees terrible words like litre and kilometre. I don't need censored car races and won't be watching. Hey SPEED, most of us at least have secondary km/h indication on our speedometers and water or soda in liter sizes. Thanks for taking the International flavor out of the race. http://www.crash.net/v8+supercars/news/173044/1/waltrip_joins_us_tv_coverage_of_bathurst_1000.html snippet: As part of the deal, V8 organisers will be providing SPEED with a purpose-built set in pit lane for both events, and will convert all race graphics from the kilometres/litres metric system used in Australia to the miles/gallons measurements understood by Americans. SPEED will share the resources of V8 Supercars Television, which produces the live pictures for the Seven Network in Australia.
