Speed was an Australian satellite and cable television sports network dedicated to motorsport. The network was owned by Fox Sports Pty Limited and launched on 1 November 2010. It is a sister of the now defunct US channel of the same name, although it is no longer corporately connected due to the split of News Corporation, as Fox Sports Australia is included in News Corp and not 21st Century Fox.
On 2 November 2014, Speed closed and was replaced by Fox Sports 5.
Speed launched in Australia on 1 November 2010 on Foxtel in both standard and high definition. After months of negotiations and controversy, on 25 March 2011, Speed and Speed HD launched on Austar (the regional Australia subscription television provider).
