Motorsport on the telly - sticky - 28-11-2014

Motors TV tonight 9pm (channel 447 on Sky) - Manx Rally Championship.  I know they have too many wheels and a lid but it's still the Island Icon_biggrin

I just missed your post as returning from the NEC but Motors is alo on Freeview channel 71 for the non Sky subscribers. (Like me)


RE: Motorsport on the telly - sticky - 29-11-2014

Not a well produced programme to be honest.  Too much of it shot in the dark and too much tedious interviewing - I wish the people that produce this stuff would remember that we want to see the action, not a bunch of blokes endless yapping into a microphone!

Short notice but on Eurosport 2 @ 6:45 is the Cookstown 100 - 2 one hour programmes Icon_cool

I must admit that during our closed season I am suprised that stations like Eurosport and motors do not show motorcycle racing from the southern hemisphere Aussie or Japanesse there must be a championship down under that would give us a winter fix.

Australian Superbike was on either Motors TV or Eurosport ( cant remember which)a couple of nights ago

Commentators droning on seems to be the norm these days, like we are too stupid to understand what we are watching.
Captions at the bottom of the screen are informative enough.

I don't have a problem with interviews, it adds a human angle but why can't we watch the action with the interviews as sound only?

Motors TV, my mate kept texting me about it, and I hadn't realised it was available on Freeview.
Signal seems a bit 'hit & miss', though.

Think it's been Motors again.
I can only find a link for a pay per view for the Cemetery racing, $30 (£15ish?), Think it starts about 21.30 'til 03.00ish tomorrow.
