well Paul Radisich is back in the V8 supercars game :hurray:
was a big fan of his when he drove the mondeo with Andy Rouse.

That bodes well for 2015 coverage. Also it's the 12hours of Bathurst next weekend, if you fancy a bit of gt action.

Watching the testing, rather like the look of the new fords. But cooler still is seeing the Nissans in Nismo red white and black.

It's certainly better quality footage now, even if Motors still don't actually broadcast in HD.

My only concern is it appears they've changed then commentary team and haven't yet announced if Larko will still feature- I really like what he brings to covering the technical side and strategy in the race, and it would be a shame to lose him.

Danny they are using greg murphy instead this year.
so ALL the commentators this year are Holden guys so anything ford do will be negative in someway.
Larko was the only FORD bloke last year in the team and he was always impartial.

Mark shaife is as biased as they come, Bathurst last year is a good example.

anyway the testing was really good to watch and fair play to chaz, winterbottom really needs to watch his back this year
as I recon the young gun will out perform him.

anyone have any thoughts about DJR (ford) and TECHNO autosport (holden) sharing a garage this year?

Definitely no Larko featuring on the Foxtel/Motors TV coverage- he's moved to Network Ten who only get to show a few live races (similar to BBC for F1).
