One thing I am concerned about though is the delayed coverage of R4 from Taupo on TV3.

Last sunday when I got back from the racing I locked in the CRC program for sunday as it stated 'BNT V8 SuperTourers, Round 4 coverage from Taupo hosted by Shaun Summerfield'

I thought I should just check that this was still the case and I have concerns that this delayed coverage is not happening this sunday. Now the listing states Round 5 of the NZ Road Race Championship from Taupo.

Is this a typo or are we not getting to see the TV coverage from Taupo?

Nigel, can you shed any light on this?

Hi NZSTfan, rest assured V8ST Round 4 Taupo goes to air on CRC Motorsport this Sunday. The TV deal with ST Management only came together 4 weeks ago and our Programme Billings have been with print publications for over 6 weeks. I wanted the Taupo Round to go to air as same day coverage but it was to late to change the CRC Programme Schedule. I have managed to programme the Enduros with same day coverage. Race 3 from Taupo is epic.. Not to be missed.

Regards
Nigel TV3

Phew! Cheers Nigel.....the program description on the tv (I have sky) did say coverage a week ago but had changed when I checked tonight.
I guess I understand why thats happened now so thanks mate

Can't wait to see it......especially r3

Their so similar in size etc that the driver changes will be slippery like grease! Thats one of the images that I cant erase from last year....morris leaving and andre getting it. It reminded me of trying to push a giant potato into an eggcup. Still, I hear he's a top bloke with loads of knowledge and genuinely loves the cars.
Any news on Booths partner?

Kudo's to the team who handled last weekend's Taupo ST coverage. It's a metric arsetonne better than what was served at round three. Decent camera-work, good editing and cuts - all round a lot more slick. Onwards and upwards

Agreed HP, and high fives for Nigel Carpenter, who produced and directed the coverage. Roll on the Enduro's, with more big names to be released in the next few day's.

On behalf of the CRC Motorsport Team thanks for the pat on the back.. All credit to Shaun and the production team for their skill, hard work and support for the ST category. I only wish I could have given more air time to today's production.. That has been sorted for the Enduros.

Cheers

Awesome show today Nigel......just like what it used to be and the puke round can be canned to the annals of history!
Great to see Shauns friendly face hosting the round and what appears to be a more prominent stamp on the series from tv3.
Great stuff and just what was needed to bring a bit more consistency and quality to the top v8 category in NZ.
HP.... metric arsetonne.....lmfao

adbutler · 8 Sep 2013, 06:37 (Ref:3300384)

Just like to add to the list of people saying well done on the coverage. It was 1000% better than round 3 (Puke) and am looking forward to the live coverage resuming for the enduro's.

In race 3, the start incident, did SVG baulk the others at the start? I thought maybe he didn't accelerate until the line whilst some behind speed up a bit soon?
And did the 3rd car inline punt McLaughlin into him? That's what it looked to me but the commentators seemed to be blaming McLaughlin.
And what was the smoke from Murphys car?

McLaughlin was very, very quick to point the finger at Heimgartner nailing him from behind (as evidenced by his Facebook activity post-race). He was quick to point the finger at Heimgartner after the little contact they had in race 1 too.

I don't think Heim was at fault in either instance though. No idea what went on with SVG. It was never elaborated on at Taupo either. All in all a bizarre incident.

Maybe he's gone all James Bond and his car has a few 'gadgets' to put off the other drivers.

Average coverage, you have a guy up and down pit lane with a camera and nothing showen after the eace 3 crash. Shane Drake is terrible all this is manufactured etc.

Race 2 lap 8 to lap 17 nothing much happened in that time apart from grass growing so supertourers is boring?

At a guess I would say they load the car up on the accelerator and brake on the roll to the start,
and maybe he was a bit too loaded and it was front tyre smoke?

A beacon of positivity as always

Swedish Brick · 8 Sep 2013, 08:14 (Ref:3300406)

I put the gaps and defects in coverage down to the late scheduling and not having more time.
The only one (I didn't see all of it) I swore about was when they cut away from the Gaunt/SVG battle just as they approached the braking zone. Fair enough they needed to show the winner cross the line, but I reckon a jump back in time a few seconds to show SVG/Gaunt get through the chicane would have been worth it.

That and a few more replays at differing angles/cameras would have been good.

SB.. You are correct regarding gaps in the footage, the deal was only done with ST Management 3 weeks ago. I could only schedule 1.5 Hours at such late notice... The Gaunt/SVG battle was brilliant, and I nearly missed the finish, but can you imagine the uproar if I missed Ant and Johnny Mac crossing the finish line?.. We will have a few more resources at HD for the Enduro's so hopefully it will satisfy everybody.

Cheers.. Nigel

New start rules distributed 29th, 2 days before race day.
"Rolling Start Procedure for BNT V8 Supertourers Race one, two and three

When red start lights extinguished you may increase your speed and must maintain your grid position.
There is to be no passing until you cross the start line."

Giz as on pole could set whatever the pace right up to the start line, which he did, unfortunately some drivers rear of Scotty put their foot up it when the lights went out. Heimgartner particularly.

Seen Andre's on board and you can clearly hear/see that he's getting pushed from behind...

A shot of the podium would have been a lot better for the fans at home, rather than the interview at the end with Murphy. Someone in the team should go and buy some happy pills for Greg. It doesn't cost much money to give the commentators race radio so they know what is actually going on in the race...

I wouldn't be happy either if Summersby duffed the end of my interview at the first shot, then had to ask me to replay it to the cameras.

I don't think Murph was too happy with winning in that fashion either - referencing his finger-point at the category judiciary.

Hi Jerico, TV Production was supplied with a Race Radio but it was never used by Race Control...we were very frustrated about not getting any information during the Races. I understand Race Control and Judiciary were in the same room and they chose not to use the Radio's.. Priceless.. So Jamie and Shane did a great job considering the situation..

100 Percent correct about the start rule JK, but 100 Percent wrong about Heimgartner, as Jack Kofoed has already posted, Andre got the big push from behind, and I personally viewed the video coverage.

Nigel - will the races be available on demand as they previously were?
