Especially as other than the Bathurst 1000, the press release is quite vague on what the extent of the Ten deal is

Also the press release says alot of "Foxtel" and alot of "Fox Sports", but no mention of "Speed"

Does this mean they are seperating the V8Supercars from other motorsports on Foxtel as its own 'entity' alongside A-League and NRL etc...?

Or will Speed channel 512 go the way of its American mother, and have ceased by the time 2015 comes around?

A very early announcement of the deal, it looks the goods but is James Warburton perhaps looking to prove he can get things done as quickly as possible (in the face of the apparent reduced grid for 2014?)
I rhink we are doing a lot of speculating. however is the early announcement a result of the apparent reduced grid.

maybe this gives hope for the future and make sponsors more interested thus increases the grid
