they already were...

the show isnt what i expected, too much fun and games, i thought it would be a bit more serious

Dave Sera will win it. Mark my words, even though he's a massive wanker and isn't even the best driver in the competition.

Bit harsh to call Denyer a hack tbh, he's a decent steerer and did pretty well in the Fujitsu series, not main game material but more than capable of performing pretty well at Bathurst. Though his time out of the car won't do him any favours.

Denyer needs to commit to one thing. Channel 7, or motorsport. He can't have it both ways.

If he was solely committed to racing he might be a good steerer, but as long as he does (no) talent shows and presents the weather, he should give it up.

Oi Australia's got talent had talent!! (cept the winner )

Almost all other Fujitsu Series drivers have a day job as well as racing on the weekends, why should Denyer be treated any different just because his job is more 'high profile'?

Neil Crompton combined media and driving committments 'relatively' successfully.

Sailor? WTF was he thinking? Why can't people name there kids John or James anymore, it's like it has to be either a fruit or something completely retarded nowadays.

Oh wow lets judge a guy on what he named his child....

Tony Kanaan named as the Gold Coast partner for Jason Bargwanna.

Commercial-Free Races On 7

Fantastic news. Might be a small gesture to appease the fans, so hopefully it continues.

Only think that will make saturday interesting is if the track is half flooded.

They could start by showing the races LIVE across the whole nation and not time zone delayed, especially Bathurst

Ain't gonna happen

And who wants to bet that we'll be littered with ads before the two commercial-free races?

Didnt they throw a SC few years back because someone supposedly threw a holden or ford flag on the track?

They throw safety cars these days if someone drops a paper cup in the pitlane its gotten that pathetic.....




The only reason these races are getting shown ad free is because they are so short.

7 are a commercial station, your never going to get a normal length race ad free, and it won't happen on 9 or 10 either. You must remember that 7 are showing more coverage of the series than ever before on any TV station in the history of the series (be it 7, 10 or ABC)

And how exactly does time delaying the Bathurst coverage affect you? It's only time delayed because they 'press pause' in the ads so we don't miss any action. They did the same thing on Channel 10. I suppose this year, when 7 are legally obligated to not time-shift, you will be complaining about what you miss in the ad breaks.

Since you're posting on a message board I'd have thought this would be pretty obvious to you - in this day and age the audience can and will be connected with sports live through message forums, facebook, texting etc. Running a telecast almost an hour behind is like asking the audience to ignore every other medium except the TV all day. It's tremendously stupid.

Your all on a hiding to nothing anyway, Tony Cochrane when interviewed on RPM two weeks back supported the races being delayed, saying that the closer to the News that the races were shown on TV the higher the ratings were. So if the boss backs it, i don't see it getting changed.

I prefer the races being shown delayed, the 4-6pm timeslot for Townsville was great. I was able to go and test my kart for most of the day, and make it home in time to watch the race.

Now, I'm all for the race in Texas, but the Philippines?

TRACK MAP

the track (from pics and vids) isnt too bad but its far from v8sc standard tbh (compared to many of our permanent track's) not much in the way of facilities or safety

Whats hard about not turning your computer on for a few hours? Or don't connect to the Internet with your phone.... its not rocket science.....




Bathurst has been time limited to a 5.45pm finish ever since 1997 when Channel 10 demanded it for their coverage of the rebel V8 1000 that year. The time limit is written into the supplementary regs, absolutly nothing to do with Channel 7 (but feel free to keep your vendetta against them going....)
