a car race before, but Im going for Brockie/dickie - and our show is on tuesday nights at "

I literally lost track of who was winning because of all the cross promotion.
In the end we went and listened to the radio to keep up to date!

Are you sure about that?

If you mean 1996, the whole telecast was almost all Lowndes leading. There was the odd Olympian interviewed , but there wasn’t much “home and away” or anything in there.

If you mean 1998, or even 1997, those two Ch7 telecasts of the 1000 were pretty much devoid of anything except the racing, the closest they got to cross promotion of anything else was Sandy Roberts or Tracey Holmes in the hosting chair doing the hourly updates.

Dont Supercars Media pay the race commentators and the race pit reporters, not the individual network?


Some of this Channel 7 bashing for the sake of it is ridiculous
