V8 Supercars 2016

[maff]

Don't think so, certainly no mention of them yet.

Looking at the streaming schedule it only lists the V8's. Could do with a bit of editing work though- the first 40 mins of the qualifying replay was just the V8 logo...

Anyway- 6 hours ago Motors TV came back on Sky ch 447, but V8 coverage seems limited only to highlights and with a 1 week delay.

Did Sky/Motors TV give any explanation as to why Motors TV went off line for a short period?

well that was an interesting first weekend to the season, hope that carrys on indeed.

[Danny@APT]

Yeah, that was a typically great opening set of races at Adelaide! Close finishes, battles from poor qualifying positions upto the front, and a bit of weather uncertainty- awesome!

Good news for the Ford fans- Prodrive are planning to continue using the Falcon for at least another year, maybe two:

i know we only get the V8supercars over here but anyone is interested this guy uploads the V8 utes and the touring car masters from the same weekend.
been meaning to put this link up for couple years.
he normally uploads the videos couple days after the weekend event

Cheers Bart.

Bit disappointed there's no gp support races on superview, another bernie fail I guess.

[Danny@APT]

I'm really surprised the organisers don't offer a highlights package via their Youtube page- I'm sure it would be really popular and provide them more scope for earning through advertising. I'm sure they used to do it in the past, but once Superview came around they stopped and would get other streams closed down.

Like you say Matt- with the Adelaide non-championship round being part of an F1 weekend, Bernie has a stranglehold on the rights.

All 3 races on youtube now... might not be there long

they normally have 4 races over that weekend, 1 Friday, 2 Saturday and 1 sunday.
the V8 supercars are in the pits just before the F1 cars and they have no advertisement or names above the garages.
think this is because all commercial right holders will only show sponsors related to F1 only as the other support series have different sponsors IE tire manufacturers and they don't want these names on show.
at most tracks the other series cars are away from the main pits,
example, Abu dabie there garages on the other side the track.
Silverstone, garages on the old start finish straight.
SPA, garages behind the F1 pits.
