He may not post often, but he reacts quite a bit and I’ve seen him on numerous times, though as the “greeter” I may look at that more than others.

Well I'd be glad to see him post more often

Being an avid sports fan, which TV channels should I definitely have for my stay in Brazil? I'm assuming Formula 1 is shown somewhere, MotoGP too I guess? I'd also very much like to see the athletics world championships of course, and road cycling in case that's shown somewhere (if not, I'll try and VPN home to watch the NOS broadcast ). Watching some Stockcar Brasil would be cool if possible and any suggestion is welcome really

So, seems that you love motor sports

 

There a few channel sports here, but most part of the time they streaming and talk about football. Formula One you can see in Globo, it's the biggest television company of Brazil. They also have three other sport channels: SporTV, SporTV2 and SporTV3(practice session and grid qualification are showed in those channels, sometimes even the races).

 

MotoGP and Stockcar Brasil is in Sportv channels, as well. The same for Athletics World Championship

 

Road Cycling is more difficult, there aren't too much broadcasting of this sport here. The channels of ESPN Brasil (ESPN Brasil, ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN+) show some competitions such as Giro d' Italia, Tour de France and La Vuelta da Espanha. I remember that in Sportv Channels now and then they show World Championships of this Sport

 

So, that's it. I hope to have helped you

Very much  I believe we'll have SporTV so that should cover quite a lot already. The only cycling I really want to see during that time is the world championships, I'm sure it'll work with internet in case it's nowhere on TV. I believe ESPN shows NASCAR by the way, that'd be great too

So, NASCAR you can watch in Fox Sports Brasil, they show some races. They also have 2 channels.

 

And, there is Formula Indy, a little more popular here than NASCAR. You can watch in BandSports channel.

Formula Indy?  

 

Is that what's actually called the IndyCar Series (which I can imagine since there's always been strong Brazilians in there, like Tony Kanaan and Helio Castroneves) or is 'Formula Indy' a Brazilian championship?

Exactly, This is IndyCar Series. I can't call it in that way. Hahaha

Cool, I didn't know there were countries were they literally change the entire name of series like IndyCar to not just a translated version, but to something totally different  

 

Brazil continues to surprise me.
