Fox Sports Racing (formerly Speed) is a motorsports-oriented cable network owned by the Fox Sports division of 21st Century Fox. The network launched on August 17, 2013 as a continuation of the former cable network Speed for North American markets outside of the United States, including Canada and the Caribbean.
The network primarily simulcasts racing events from Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2, which would be otherwise unavailable to international markets, with the remainder of its schedule filled with reruns of Speed's previous reality series. The network retained the previous Speed branding until February 20, 2015.
Prior to its replacement with the mainstream sports network Fox Sports 1, the motorsports-oriented network Speed was also carried outside of the United States, particularly in Canada. Shortly after its launch as Speedvision, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) added the network to its list of foreign cable networks approved for carriage on Canadian cable and satellite providers in 1997. Prior to August 2013, Canadian viewers saw a largely identical schedule as the U.S. channel, although some programming, particularly live Formula 1 events, were blacked out to protect TSN, which holds domestic broadcast rights to F1 events (under CRTC rules, foreign services must own Canadian broadcast rights to the content they air). However, this point became moot when Speed lost F1 rights to NBC Sports in 2013 season, as NBC Sports Network is not carried in Canada.
