I don't have Sky

Anglia TV showed Champions of The Future on sunday afternoons last year and in 2001, around this time of year so i really hope they show this years Stars Of Tomorrow season

Speedy King, they will be showing 3 Stars of Tomorrow races starting with November 23rd on Speed TV in the US (go to our TVRacer.com site) but I can't say about the timing over there.

Did anyone tape these two races?

Tom Horley · 25 Nov 2003, 15:35 (Ref:794114)

The worlds are usually on Eurosport at some point. Super ICC world cup from Carole has been on lately.

Motors repeat them ad nauseum, it will be on again I am sure.

mrinvader · 25 Nov 2003, 16:30 (Ref:794177)

I live in the states so I dont get these channels. So did anyone tape these? Or wouldnt mind taping them for me and I will pay for the tape?

yelodwg · 27 Nov 2003, 16:56 (Ref:796233)

mrinvader, the next STARS race is on this Sunday. Check TVRacer.com for the schedule.

You wouldn't by any chance live in N. California?

Tom

Thanks, I just wish we got the CIK races here in the states. I want to see some of the races. I used to live in NORCAL but now I live in Georgia. I ran for INVADER a few years back and just never changes my username.

Chris Wehrheim.

i recorded both televised programs for the internations..

The gearbox racing was pretty rough the first lap, Frekey spins out, and then the scot runs the english lad off..

congrats Mark Fell winning that however

im not the biggest follower of pro karts.. but karting is karting.. and watch it i shall

cheers for that

speedy king · 10 Dec 2003, 12:23 (Ref:808226)

I agree, i think rotax, TKM or gearbox would make better tv (i'll get prepared to be slaughtered!)

i aint gona dis ya

fingers crossed the TKM numbers pick up here 2004.. rotaxs seem very popular.. but i quite like watching Formula A (ok i like to heard them

).

gearboxes are good, but i think long circuit is better to watch... junior box racers look the part on the short circuits, those things are flyin machines!

Don't worry, we ain't gonna slaughter you SK

You're quite right, they do make better TV than Prokarts. At least you included TKM in that wee list, but clearly SoT (Sods on Television

) don't think so, otherwise they would have included it in their all-marketing-PR-orientated schedule (by now you may have have guessed that I don't like this series

)

Are you sure about this Lakeside event being broadcast, though? Perhaps it's only in your local area or something, because I can't see anyone else really taking an interest. If it's at Lakeside then it's not even an official event, probably charity karting or something. Do you know what it is exactly?

speedy king · 12 Dec 2003, 22:43 (Ref:810606)

It's the final round of their Endurance owner/driver series which is (apparently) one of the most popular in Britian. The programme will be part of a series or programmes on C4 named, ........rivals (sounds familiar to an ITV programme....)

___________________________________________________

"Karting enthusiasts will be delighted to see their favourite sport highlighted when Channel 4 film the last round of the Prokart Championship live from Lakeside Karting, Thurrock on Sunday, 14th December. Director of Lakeside Karting, Mr Giles Murray, said: "The Lakeside Prokart Championship is one of the South of England's premier endurance series and features prominently in the national karting press and national press. We are delighted that the excitement of this event will be captured on film and broadcast on Channel Four in the New Year as part of a series of programmes with the theme 'Rivals'. The last round of this season's owner/driver championship is very close and the TV production team are very keen to record the exploits of the top two teams, namely Teamtec and FAB Kartsport.

Gates open at 7.30am for this event and drivers should sign on from 8am. Practice starts at 10am with the 3 hour event starting at 11am. More information is available by telephone to 01708 863070 or at www.lakeside-karting.co.uk"

Strange how I've never seen it once in Karting magazine then! LOL!!

speedy king · 13 Dec 2003, 22:58 (Ref:811252)

If this goes ahead they would be much better to use the time covering a Stars Of Tomorrow, Super One round

crozier74 · 14 Dec 2003, 18:17 (Ref:811718)

Exactly!!!
