Weekend Motorsports Roundup: Jan. 19-20, 2013
Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what's going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
A couple of notable things on tap this weekend, ladies and germs. First, there's the end of the 2013 Dakar Rally, which you can catch on the NBC Sports Network as long as you're willing to wake up super early (or stay up super late, depending on how you look at things.) There's also the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, which will be televised on SPEED so you can see a bunch of old rich Baby Boomers buying the pristine Camaros they dreamed when they were kids. Sounds swell to me.
Beyond that, we have the usual litany of touring car races from last year, now televised for your amusement. Anyone else really missing Formula One? I know I am. Hang in there, racing fans. We're getting closer.
As always, let us know about anything we missed — or any good racing livestreams out there — in the comments.
