Be nice to get the Fox races on TVU - just one more back up
After getting used to the great NASN coverage over the last few years, the Sky Sports show the other night was a bit.........crap.
No pre-race show, and a couple of goons who could not even get the drivers names right!
I think it is now down to every UK fan to email Sky and DEMAND better coverage. If they know the REAL fans are not happy with what they are showing, they will HAVE to change things around, and give us what we want. And that is the full Fox pre and post race coverage. :confused:
Sorry... Why? The Nationwide race will be on NASN before the Daytona 500. What is the issue? I will watch the Nationwide AS LIVE on NASN and then watch the Daytona 500 LIVE.Quote:

dont get any feedback from nascar@skysports.com
for people who had setanta just for Nascar , like myself ,now we pay more and get a lot less without being able to do anything about it , really its not the money its the coverage im not going to stop making a pain of myself to sky as its not right
aha - so, the big hand is on the eight and the little hand is........
I really do need to learn how to tell the time..... :D
with posts like this NASCAR fans are becoming as petty as Star trek fans. Take a chill pill, provide POSITIVE feed back to Sky and give them a chance.
How much more does it add whether you watch Keith Heuwen in the studio providing a race update or a 3 lap down car circulating while the producer checks out the manoeuvrability of the camera. Sky did not miss a restart, yes they had no pre or post race stuff but the main bit is the race itself!
Sky has HD and widescreen coverage which NASN or Motors TV previosuly did not.
If Sky have not improved come race 10 then yes start a protest thread. At the moment this is totally pointless!
no chill pill , 10 races , nearly a third of a season, doesnt take a brain surgon at sky to get their coverage right.i dont see why they didnt look at the coverage Fox , Tnt , Espn and Nasn were showing before they even bought the rights , just seems that when somethings ok somebody always comes along and messes it up, wonder what the US Nascar fans would say if Fox didnt show any pre or post race show this Sunday for the 500 ,just because we are the other side of the pond we still have the same passon for the sport ,it doesnt mean we shouldnt try and get what works.Rather than some of us disagreeing shouldnt we a let our thoughts know , bet you would all be to happy to watch it.
Make a stand about what exactly? Talk about over egging the pudding.
How many threads do we need about the TV coverage?
We have had one show so far. Can we please keep things in perspective?
If you are not happy with what SKY are offering, email them and let them know.
Ok so Keith has just announced the 'vast majority' of the Cup races will be live - as in not all of them.
So not quite what we thought but we'll see how the schedule pans out.
