agree with you there, i really enjoyed his work with rusty,

Its just that heat of the moment thing when there is an incident, and even more so if its lowndes.

Wouldn't worry too much. Cant imagine Skaife will miss an opportunity to talk up Lowndes.

Unfortunately, I have not. I know others who have, and when I suggested my theory, they agreed and also backed up my statement.

There have been times when she's been able to apply her medical background to the coverage. Was very much left to her own devices, and wasn't cringe-worthy at all.

I feel there's a place for her in the TV package, but the pitlane, in the heat of the monent while a director is shouting prompts, stats and other jargon in her ear, is not it.

I wonder how she'd go in the commenatry box, as a third wheel? Perhaps similar to what Mr Noonan has done in the past, but clearly not to the extent of Mr White?

Compromised · 23 Feb 2016, 04:10 (Ref:3616934)

Pitlane is a thankless job, I think she is doing the best job the situation allows really.

I'm assuming she is fed questions to ask?

fomoco · 23 Feb 2016, 10:34 (Ref:3616983)

Don't know if it is scripted, but many years ago, and probably today, on many sports shows, the host would get together before going on air and decide who speak about what, who argue the point etc etc, I dare say this still happens,

So what ever the team make up , their roles would already be decided by the production team.

I wonder if they view this forum and others to get feedback.

William5 · 24 Feb 2016, 05:23 (Ref:3617223)

Ten will deliver the biggest ever Clipsal 500 in its history. Effectively it will be about par of Bathurst. The biggest is on the Saturday and RPM returns on March 6 at 11.30am.

one five five · 24 Feb 2016, 05:41 (Ref:3617230)

Does the closer collaboration between Fox Sports & V8Supercar Media this year have any effects on the Ch10 presentation of the 6 events they cover themselves?

it would seem so as they are boasting Ten's coverage as a result. Over 21 hours up from 18 last year. Simulcast on the Saturday

one five five · 24 Feb 2016, 05:45 (Ref:3617235)

the increase of FTA hours is VERY interesting..... (and great to see)

Even Ten had no RPM for the Sunday on their website and only 18 hours for Clipsal

Umai Naa · 24 Feb 2016, 06:02 (Ref:3617240)

I think they're trying to improve the ratings.

Not really, no more v8 racing as a result, the races are already shown. should get more support racing and possibly maybe live instead of delayed qualyfying

Are you suggesting that v8 supercars ahs the power to enforce Ch 10 to show more than there contract?

Qualifying live on Friday and delayed on Sunday. Maybe Fox Sports is behind it.

I reckon thats an error on the saturday, accidently copied the foxtel time, no reason to start early and then not show practise live (unless they are not allowed)

I think they would've probably realised the error and put it back to normal. How often has V8 Supercars been wrong about broadcast times? RPM returns with a longer show starting March 13 at 3.30pm.

William5 · 29 Feb 2016, 04:56 (Ref:3618559)

Instead of what V8 Supercars have proposed of over 21 hours of coverage. Instead its only 18 hours across Ten and Ten HD. Matt White will lead the coverage, with him will be expert commentator Mark Larkham, Nissan driver Rick Kelly, popular Family Feud host Grant Denyer, rev-head model Kate Peck and Ten Sport's Mark Howard.

Shame there is no Mark Webber.

Dunno if it's allowed to be talked about here tbh.

Involved VLC player, haha.

Umai Naa · 5 Mar 2016, 02:05 (Ref:3620078)

Pretty much how I watched most of last season

chavez · 5 Mar 2016, 05:19 (Ref:3620099)

I am only watching on TEN, but so far with the exception of Race 1 of the V8 Supercars have ended early due to the dreaded time certain finish.

Wouldn't it be better if all support races were simply run up to the time limit? No set las, just run to the time certain finish.
