    dune's complaint deparment on commercials

    last week we saw 7 commercials every 5 laps for over 100 laps. i personally find this interuptive and disturbing.with all the gizmos of side by siode and stuff there has to be more race shown than what were seeing.even side by side viewing was a commervial and the fox cut away car , its down right blasfamus to call it watching the biggest race of the year when i only get to see 85 laps of the race. now lets go raacing FOX!
    This is the beguining of the next fifty years. heres where i see how much i learned.

    That's pretty crappy. Must say we've been spoiled in the UK since ITV lost the F1 coverage and BBC runs without adverts. Even this year when Satellite broadcaster Sky have taken over they are still running the races advert free.

    after a yellow in the pits we get lap 74 with a live action commercial break again.
    6 commericial but only 2 for fox getting better.but then they use the full screen for a race recap coming back to live action on lap80 with the cheating machine in the lead. sorry jimmy.

    They must have been reading along . good finish fox. the second half was limited to 25 commercials for 143 laps and the burn out was on time. im still a little disgrunted but nice finish fox.

    You, sir, need a PVR. Badly.
    I watch the races and haven't watched a commercial in 4 years.
