"DGTEC" and "STRONG" are the leaders apparently.

Who??

Where's Sony/Panasonic/LG/Samsung/Philips etc etc??

No, "DGTEC" and "STRONG" are the leaders

$100 later and selecting one of 12 separate installation options (why is it so bloody complicated??) and we are away....

Perfect picture, stereo sound... cool.

Why isnt this advertised better? I went and bought because of the ads on Channel Seriously that OneHD was coming and I could see NASCAR for free...

But they dont tell you the aerial may suck (mine didnt but I discovered other people who needed Mr Antenna...) and the reception is then crap... and you need a receiver for every teev in the house...

Not terribly modern.

If you want to get fancy get a set to box with a HDD so you can record the nascar which is on at odd hours and watch it whenever you want, never miss a thing.

Did Mr Bright make a mistake or get pitched into the fence?

What's the deal with HRT's power steering systems? Mr Davison reckoned that his was almost toast at the end of R3 as well...

Strange that the same problem has hit this team in 3 races in the series so far

Strange how? No different to other problems they've had.

Specifically the shifter issue (i notice Tkelly hasn't snapped a single shifter since leaving HRT)

Probably the Scot got a real good deal from the Bovver Boys after they stripped the Power Steering pumps out of some Astra cars that are parked at Heathrow!!

Again Holden are at least 0.5 second a lap off the T8 cars' race pace. Lowndes gapped the second car at about 0.75 second a lap in Race 3

TSR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I am in Syd and had ONE yesterday morning, but nothing since, keeps searching for it. Have yet to see a V8 race.
Hope it improves for the rest of the year.

That may be due to One transmitting in HD yesterday (up until 6PM anyway) and today and Ten transmitting the same thing in SD.

Metal prices have got cheaper, you tight Scotsman!!!!

Supporting the F1 makes the V8s look bad. Honestly, the V8s were so boring on the weekend I didn't bother with it.

After the excitement of qualifying on Saturday, Race 2 sent me to sleep. On Sunday I was just wishing it would go away so I could watch the F1.

Anyone with me?

Maybe if it was for points it'd increase the interest... but the series just looks so old and tired compared to F1.

what are you talking about rotor fan.

you didnt bother with it, so i assume that means you didnt watch it.

some great racing went on.

we saw a pass for podium on the last lap.

Now lets see F1. the pole sitter won and led the whole race. and the major point of excitment was if the pole sitter would be able to hang on once he switched to the dodgy super sticky tyres. if its a handicap, why bother
