Ron was always a gentleman and very thankful to the marshalls. He always took the time to speak with as many of us as he could every time at the track. And now he's part-owner of Mosport which as your probably know if Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
    I live in the mid Atlantic part of the US. I stopped marshalling pro stuff after 2006, when CART and ChampCar had folded. I'm still very active with SCCA in a number of different areas.

    My favorite series was FAtlantic from the 75 to 77 era. Gilles, Brack, Rahal, Sullivan, Gloy, Cogan, etc.Went to Trois Rivieres in 76 When Gilles was running and Hunt and five or six other F1 drivers were there to run. Great racing and great stories - had to buy James a beer in the hotel bar when the French Canadian bartender refused to acknowledge him because of his accent. All the series have had their ups and downs and I don't follow any all that closely anymore. I still see a couple of your folks when they come south for the racing here, like Peter.

    This is only relevant if:
    a> Ten get to show anything live
    b> Ten get to show anything on delay
    c> Ten pit it up on Tenplay

    All of these are dependent on what Foxtel decides to allow Ten to have.

    Thanks for your input CNR and Rollo. I'll keep trying from The Great White North to access any coverage I might find to watch the best racing in the world. If either of you hear anything locally that could point me in a particular direction via KODI, I'd be very appreciative.
    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. Let's hope F1 turns into a proper racing series this year!

    I find the Australian 'supercars' fairly uninteresting to watch on many occasions. The performance parity - engine performance and aerodynamics makes it difficult for drivers to make clean passes, the overtaking driver has to take a risk that can ruin his or the overtaken driver's races.
    The Australian GT (sportscar series ) can have interesting races. GT and Touring Car Masters (old v8 touring cars) have their place in DownUnder motorsport.

    Bathurst 12 hour is an increasingly popular race in Australasia. (Probably webcast somewhere hopefully in 2016, like radio lemans etc)

    Thanks for the link Zeakiwi...great vid! I'm really looking forward to see how Gizzy does with Red Bull but wish I could watch his progress on TV. I have an old friend in Auckland who I've been trying to push to go to Hamilton or Pukekohe so I can live it vicariously but he's just not a race-nut. I'll keep trying.
    Cheers and Happy New a Year all.

    Dear Giz,
    I find your lack of 8s disturbing.

    Hi Rollo,
    Season's 2 weeks away so have you any idea where I might find the Adelaide (and future) coverage on KODI?
    Thanks much
