Ah, yes. Advertisements.
I'm getting them on channel ten.
Is it the same broadcast on both channels,or are there different commentators?
I have the poverty pack channel10 only:D
Lots of dumb driving,''we could have won but we damaged the steering on lap 20 of a 161 lap race bumping another car''. Pat
Seem to be heaps here on 10 as well:mad:Quote:

First time watching Bathurst (and the V8's) in quite a few years. Lots of drivers I don't know of, and only 26 cars on the grid which is a bit **** poor IMO. I am generally enjoying it though, and now there's been a prang it's a bit better... :D
The pre race coverage was outright painful to watch though, so had the TV on mute for an hour before it started.
They're not real Commodores unfortunately. They're basically race cars with Commodore panels and a Holden badge.Quote:

Nowadays, you need to know the drivers and with all the bodies basically identical and the cars painted in camouflage (much better this year than last I'll admit), it's often impossible to know which vehicle the commentators are talking about.
I dare say it's better for the fanatic, as someone who drifted away when it became simply Ford vs Holden (probably before that in reality), it's hard to watch now. Good racing if you can work out what's going on though, I'll give it that.
Yeah, I reckon he was helped. Pity.Quote:

A quick question for those that follow the V8's as I haven't for some time - what is the reason there seems to be only 5 Fords in the whole grid? :confused:
When did their popularity start its decline?
