We are in the minority of people who watch motorsport. But ffs, its fricken Bathurst and Japan! Atleast a few million ppl would watch Bathurst, and a few hundred thousand would watch Japan. I just want to see the signs that the Japanese people say about Button and BAR :)

i just get tired of it

i've watched the fucking V8s for like ten years...when they had a field of less than 20 cars, the coverage has been getting sort of better..but they STILL dont reward us with live races (apart from bathurst and the like)

what other shit are they going to show on a sunday arvo?

oh yeh...to solve japan in A1 (or maybe not:S) sato to A1...

There there braad, I know how you feel :)

I thought that the cut off time for Bathurst was 4:45pm est. Like the other rounds? Last year, I think they squeezed the news and sports tonight into an hour, so they could show the whole F1 race at Japan. It wasn't like last season the championship hadn't be decided by Japan.

All I know, is by the end of october, I'm going to have very very squared eyes.

I'm sure channel 10 would like to show repeats of Australian Idol on Sunday arvo instead.

Wow, your annoyed now! I'd love to see you in a weeks time :)

Well, things can't get any worse on 10, can they :eek:

Why doesn't Bathurst have a limit? It should, every other round has to be finished before 4:45pm. If we miss out on the Bathurst podium because of Japan, I'm walking up the road, to the city, where channel 10 studio is and punching the shit out of everyone there.

because if they cut off the race at 4:45...they'd be so absolutely fucked

it's a national event, and if they cut it off so they could wrap up something that's not done they would be burnt at the stake (i wish literally)

anyway...cat...please bash them anyway :eek:

say it was me if you have to, as i'll have a water-tight alibi

When you put it that way, theres no way they'll cut Bathurst short, even if it does run over time because of weather and safety car periods.

Australia has far too many motorsport events in October. Bathurst next weekend, motogp the weekend after (but I'm not watching that) and Indy in 2 weeks time.

And if they are going to cut Japan, because 1 & 1/2 hours is not enough time for an F1 race. And we miss out on the podium or the really shonky press conferences, I will go on a killing rampage. I think last year, it took 1 hour and 24 minutes to complete the Japanese race. As if 10 will only put 6 minutes of ads in, and Woods won't speak and theres no podium or press conference.

And I'll go and punch the people at channel 10, and I'll blame it all on you :D

One word. Bullshit. Japan is not on live. Its delayed. It starts at 3pm est, however, it won't be shown on tv until after Bathurst has finished approximately about 5ish. They say 4:30, but Bathurst never finishes at that time. Which means, as usual, the F1 race will have finished before its broadcasted on channel 10.

The bloody Brazilian national anthem runs longer than 3 minutes, not that a brazilian will win on Sunday :p A nice German and Italian anthem would be nice.

And they usually cut straight from Bathurst to Japan, however, Woodsy doesn't commentate on the V8s anymore. So maybe they'll cut to him before the race starts?

They are not fucking cutting Bathurst! If you loved your motorsport, you'd know what Bathurst means. Just because you don't like the V8s, doesn't mean that the hundreds of thousands who attend the event don't, and not to meantion the hundreds of thousands who sit in front of the tv watching it.

Bathurst > Japan. Simple. End of story. As much as I love F1, Bathurst has something unique to it. Maybe I'll take you to the race next year OJ. Then you can experience what its actually about.

Why the fuck can't we have podiums? If Sato got on the podium and they chopped the podium, you'd be running and crying to mummy.

And they have ads for a reason. Geez, I can't be expected to sit in front of the tv for 11 or so hours on Sunday without eating or drinking!

I sound grumpy :s, I'm not angry at you OJ

Why don't you like V8s? Don't say they are girly like Zonta did, cause next year, the F1 engines are going to be V8s, whether you like it or not.

I prefer the podium over the press conference. Why? Simple. The podium the driver can congratulate his whole team. Where as in the press conference we don't get the full story. Its more like "Obviously I'm happy, I want to thank my sponsors and the team."

Rofl F1 has gone pussy. Channel ten should have left F1 to channel nine if they are going to waste 1/3 of a day of TV with V8s.

Edit: If they are going to broadcast Bathurst on the same day as the F1s then they should cross to the F1 live. When the F1 finishes cross back to the V8s...you won't have missed much from the V8s during the 1.5-2.5 hours of F1 anyway.

They are not cutting Bathurst. Full stop end of story. That last hour or last one and a half hours of Bathurst (The final stint) is the most important. Everything can change within that time period, and is often the best section of the race. The final stint is on when Japan starts.

And more happens in 2 hours of V8s than what happens during the fricken whole season of F1 :)

Oh, where's braad, I had a brilliant idea of who can replace Ambrose at the end of the season. Sato! Ambrose and Sato match well together, they both love knocking people off the road to get towards the front :rolleyes:

No braad, its natural for you :p

OMG! My fav soft drink company is looking to get into F1. Coca Cola! Yummo! The problem is, they might be sponsoring williams, which will effectively mean that I am constantly using a product which supports webber. Yuck!

Honda buy out BAR.

Sato has a meeting with an "un-named group" to start a new F1 team. HA! Sato starting a new F1 team. What next? Schumi winning races?!!
