Speed is a sports-oriented cable and satellite television network that is owned by the Fox Sports Media Group division of 21st Century Fox. The network is dedicated to motorsports programming, including auto racing, as well as automotive-focused programs.
Although the channel is based in the United States, Speed ceased being available to most American viewers as a standalone network with its own original programming on August 17, 2013, when it was replaced by the general-interest sports network Fox Sports 1. The network remains available in Canada, the Caribbean and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, airing archived Speed programming and live simulcasts of motorsports events carried by Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 in the United States that would be otherwise unavailable to international viewers.
When it originally launched in 1995 as Speedvision, the network carried a lineup featuring programs profiling the automobile and motorsports industries, how-to series, and coverage of various domestic and international racing series.
