LeeM Posted 7October, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 Shocking form for the broadcast cutting off the touring car masters midrace for an ad break. Plenty of time for useless waffle but cut out the actual racing?Which is why I have Foxtel for motorsport. They're still playing ads like the F1 telecast (tv contract requirements), but with picture in picture that Channel 10 don't provide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still playing ads like the F1 telecast (tv contract requirements), but with picture in picture that Channel 10 don't provideThat is always the case on the free to air stations ,the broad cast is full of sponsors adverts ,,they either put and add break half way through the race or the muppets in the commentary box waffle on about crap and or the sponsors when you want to see one of the support events like the touring car masters or Porsche Cup,,,I understand these events would not take place with out the sponsors support ,,,,but geez the timing of adverts is bad sometimes Edited 7October, 2017 by Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted 7October, 2017 Report Share Posted 7October, 2017 Will there be any Porsches to cheer tomorrow? Skidmarks seems a DNS for the weekend and I only glimpsed the purple car very briefly and smoking. Is there anyone else entered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the Fuch is interested in ads? Seriously ?Why not show them in between races? I know I know...Better off watching youtube replays.

How else am I going to know Aldi has toilet rolls on special, or when the next cooking show is on channel 10? Only time it happens is when the big Aussie races are on, yet channels like Discovery and Nat Geo are nearly as bad with ads as free to air tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 25May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 25May, 2019 Against mostly 600hp V8's, it was great to watch @Skidmarks going at it hammer n tongs at Winton yesterday during the Supertaxi's TCR support races. 4th in wet/dry conditions from around 15th-17th on the grid in the first race, and some great footage for a couple of laps ending up with a 10th in the dry harassing a V8 Falcon. Even steps it off the track, corrected and back on like nothing had happened! Highly entertaining. Ya just need another 200 hp Sven! Great job 👏👏👏 MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuned the car to the new 102 octane fuel and found another 10KW and a nice load of torque. Good one! I’ll get munched off the line as usual but looking forward to the track. Had some nice results there in the past and it’s a whole lot more technical than it looks. LeeM, hugh and MFX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 22July, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 22July, 2019 Aaah the paperclip! I raced there three times on big bikes @Skidmarks As you say, it's technical and hard to get right until you've cracked the code (which I never quite did doing constant low 12's). I used to love spinning it up out of turn 3 and the last one. Great track and underrated. Have fun and good luck 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
