S$$$, my thumping XC's(yes had two), would just be warming up after 15 laps , ready to go a hard slog.

I think I watch the grass grow
You know, you don't HAVE to watch it, that's the beauty of multiple channels.

So GTR if you have a digital cable set up (which I do) what channel number is one? There is no mention of it in the program guide. Sounds like a silly question, except Ch9 is 100, Ch ten 110 - so what One would be is not intuitive.

Friday and Saturday races in plain English are on HD channel only - right or wrong ????

it would be good if they were shown on the standard no set-top box cathode tube television variant ... you'd think they would want to give their sponsors time on the V8 part of the telecast as a bonus seeing as the rights to this round go to ten for free! However Bernie has put the races on at the prime news time for his late-start GP, so there is no choice but to put the races on HD-only.

Back in the olden days... when Mr Gardner won that night race at Calder... the cars had luminescent stickerwork on them so the cameras would pick up the designs... some of the darker blues like SBR or green/black like PCR may be difficult to see in the dark

I suppose Mr Bright doesnt have that issue if he is near enough to the front to get noticed anyway
