Checked Cinemania - no dice - it must be a British Motor Racing movie (ABC don't show much of anything else) might be worth a look!!

Ahhhhhhh, so much on the idiot box and so little time!!

Presumably that's the "In The Pits" from Bathurst 99 which concentrates on CPR, Melinda Price, Chris Smerdon and Morky?

Or is it another version possibly concentrating on more recent seasons?

[True Believer]

I would assume the Perkins one... will they bleep all the swear words?

[Buckshot]

Also don't forget every Friday at 1pm Channel 31 here in Sydney show a motor-sport program called drive.

There is more useful information in 30 minutes of drive than 90 minutes of RPM.

I've got the ABC video of "In The Pits" and it's a good watch. Love that Larry-talk!!!!!!!

[DNQ]

'In the Pits' was great, everyone who hasn't seen it should make sure they tune in and watch it. Shows LP to be a real idiot

I love it when he says, "...from now on, just use one word; it's either ing in, or it's ing out!"

[Bomn]

Are the ABC back to normal programs at night or are they still showing the BBC news feed?

I didn't even now there was such thing as Channel 31. Free-to-air?

[Buckshot]

Channel 31 is a small public access station which I believe operates in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

I'm out your way at Cambridge Gardens nad have no problem picking it up.

I saw In the Pits on ABC - jeez, didn't paint a very attractive picture of either end of the grid - you've either got the battlers slogging away with no money and **** equipment - felt very sorry for Melinda Price (didn't really seem to be having a good time of it either) or you're up with the Perkins team putting up with LP's attitude (and I wouldn't have wanted to be any of those CAMS officials (imagine volunteering to be abused by that ****?)

I'd like to see an equivalent piece done profiling an average historic race meeting - no cancel that. If everybody saw how much fun and low stress they were in comparision, they be too popular and that would wreak it.
