I'm looking this same feature too. Sports I'm interested in are: NASCAR, Nationwide, WTCC, BTCC, DTM, and MOTOGP. Other sports would be a bonus I guess.
For those wanting to preserve a library of sports, I expect an NFO file would be very simple and relatively easy to maintain.
However I don't wish to form a library, I download all the sporting events at the weekend, and watch them throughout out the week before deleting them.
That said, when I come to watch it, I'd love for the information and artwork to be scraped for me. Creating an NFO and then deleting the event days later makes no sense.
A simple TVDB setup would work well. I have no programming skill, but I have ample of time to populate all forms of sporting event, regardless of interest.
I just wanted to put a separate note that as a temporary solution I'm going to put the events on TVDB. Even while is not technically allowed.
E.g
Title: History of British Tracks, BBC1, S2013E1 - Brands hatch.
once it's scraped just change the title in XBMC to BTCC. I guess fan art can either be on TVDB or locally scrapped.
Currently I have a playlist on my xbmc homepage tab called SPORTS, which sub playlists called BTCC, NASCAR etc, with there own artwork. however there is no episode information scraped.
