Speaking of TV coverage, will we get to see support shows like 7 have had in previous years on 10, or is RPM all we ars going to get.

If you get Foxtel you get every support live

however there are meant to be some shows that are coming for supports

Trackside is supposed to be making a comeback.

Just seen Clipsal on TV up here in Europe It was transmitted Live but most of us would have recorded it rather than watch it at 3am! Top job Motors TV for taking it and even better no 888/Redbull/Wincup one eyed PR man Skaife!! Although Mark Larkham and his white board seemed to be on the missing list as well which was a minus. Is Greg Murphy really as scared of Roger Penske as he looked!!

On a side note, I did notice Coates still sponsor the leaderboard just before the ad break, so Mr Stokes' group of companies hasn't completely bailed.

Coates Hire has extended its association with V8 Supercars for another three years.

The fresh deal takes its the national equipment hire company’s relationship with the category to a 14th consecutive season.

Under the arrangement Coates Hire will provide equipment and services at V8 Supercars promoted events as well as continuing as naming rights backer of the Coates Hire Ipswich SuperSprint.

V8 Supercars chief executive James Warburton says the Coates Hire extension is one of many planned for the next month.

“I am delighted to say that Coates Hire joins all of our major partners in returning to the sport as the first of many announcements planned across the next month,” Warburton said.

Now if they could just get rid of that buffoon who talked over everyone and made stupid jokes that went on for ever

Hi everyone, bit of a UK newbie here so I apologise if this is an obvious question, but are the Aus GP races being broadcast anywhere? Thanks

Guessing the buffoon is one Mr M Skaife as he has been doing it for years. As Ross Stone once said on, I think, channel ten the last time they were showing the V8's - sorry to be talking whilst you were interrupting....

Anyway for a thread about channel ten and the broadcasting of the races it appears to be about anything but. I watched it on ten (Foxtel is being installed next week) and overall I think they did a cracker job. Better than 7 as there were fewer ads and less nonsense. However a couple of things that I did notice:

Greg Rust needs to stop referring to cars by their number as in "the number 97 is in pit lane, the number 33 is in the wall." Not only is the rubbish grammar irritating it just sounds like he cant remember who the drivers are or who the teams are. Just stop it, please.

Rihanna Crane is doing her usual level of work. Her report on Sunday was that Chas Mostert's car had a new wing and quarter panel and that was all it needed. Ten minutes later Crompton went through the list - suspension linkages, transaxle, driveshafts etc etc etc.

But anyway overall it was good - shame they cant be bothered doing the remainder of the season properly.

that's him, he just talked over everyone laughing hysterically at his own jokes

Because this thread has been merged multiple time it has become a discussion point on the new media package

Have you heard something to suggest the other rounds wont be done this year on Foxtel (or are you talking about ten)

Agree completely. This extremely annoying terminology is often heard at the Speedway, where one would imagine the commentators are mere rookies.

I was talking about ten. They did a good job and it would have been nice to see the rest of the rounds on ten in full. Particularly with the commentary team they have. As distinct from Skaife and Ingall.

I wouldn't mind so much it is just the wilfully incorrect English.

The number 97 car is in pit lane would be fine. The number 97 is in pit lane is just an annoying affectation.

Been reading a fair few comments about the cost of Foxtel. Well, let's do the logical maths.

A month of Foxtel is $50 per month. ($60 if HD channels are selected) Per week that is about $12.50 per week.

That can buy:

A single box meal with KFC
A pub steak meal (barring drinks and extra food/sauces, etc)
About 2-3 beers at the bar.
Roughly 9 liters of fuel. (either diesel or gas/petrol)

I could keep going on and on but to be honest, point made. So for people whinging about the expense, think about it in a mathematical sense.

peckstar · 4 Mar 2015, 02:20 (Ref:3511448)

I want to drink at your pub

but yes you your maths is good

Mixer · 4 Mar 2015, 02:57 (Ref:3511456)

Proper analogy would be you go to the pub to have a steak dinner but to get it you have to pay for 3 meals a day for the whole month, whether or not you want it. And a guy from overseas can get the steak on its own just fine...

I am not sure it is whinging. In terms of the reality for families in Australia, there are bigger priorities than Foxtel (such as food & petrol) as you have outlined above.

The fact that less than 1/3rd of Australians have Foxtel is probably an indicator of the bigger priorities facing everyday Australians.

The attitude of those in position to afford Foxtel to those who cannot has absolutely astounded me on this foum & beyond this forum
