There was a delay in the race meeting earlier in the day, and also the Sandown race track has a curfew.
Ch7 covered the whole afternoon of racing live in those days (support races and all), and the ATCC race was reduced from 25 to 21 laps.

They used to delay the races, and everyone *****ed and moaned because the races weren't live and they couldn't sit and watch the races with their laptops next to them...
Ch7 can't win.
