I think that Martin Avon bloke must have changed his name to avoid confusion.

...on the midweek WTCC highlights on Eurosport he was captioned as Dave Farrar

No matter what I do, someone always manages to track me down....

By the by, are C4 up to date with WTCC yet??

And also a propos of not very much - if you guys have VHS and/or Sky Plus, why do you need C4?? Can't you tape Eurosport??

Small joke there!!

Yes, Imola was on last night.

Did they add anything??

Or was it that Avon bloke and Mr Leslie again??

From the TV guide ..

Highlights of rounds seven and eight from Imola in San Marino. Germany's Dirk Muller leads the standings but Brit Andy Priaulx is well in touch in fourth place. Priaulx led the second race at Silverstone in the last round but a burst tyre put him out of the race. Can he bounce back at Imola?

You don't get a mention but on the plus side at least they didn't get your name wrong again.

Can't comment on the actual content of the show yet as I had better things to do at 3am on a Monday morning (like sleep) and haven't had time to watch the tape yet.

just watched it - I too had better things to do at 3.00 - then work tends to get in the way but it was the usual coverage really - we had highlights of rounds 1-6 (introduced by someone new - cant remember his name I'm afraid - Williams?) the a lap with Terting, then Qualifying, then race 1, race 2 and that was it - no interviews this time though for some reason which is a shame!
So did the race director get shot after race one then? (for not throwing out the red flags).
Now that Eurosport has appeared on top up TV I might take the plunge and sign up so I can watch the second half of the season live - my only worry is that it says the channel starts broadcasting at 2pm on Top Up TV - does this include weekends cos that will mean the 1st race will be missed wont it? Anyone already receiving it?

Eurosport give two hours from 2pm to 4pm (BST) to cover the races...so they do catch race one live unless something important is over-running (one occassion so far).

This is different to before, Eurosport used to show race one delayed (or as highlights) just before a live race two - keeping schedule time pretty short.

The gap is filled with highlights of the GT race in the morning.

Don't receive Top Up TV myself but the European WTCC race broadcasts are normally between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday afternoons (and Puebla will be later in the day). So it should be OK provided Eurosport is available at weekends on TUTV.
