NASN / ESPN subscription numbers are based on Setanta subscribers which are actually going up. So ESPN are actually get more subscribers not less at this moment in time.

I dunno, we've had some great V8 Trophy races at Rockingham and the Pick ups are always close.

i think you meant to say the 4 different corners present a challenge for the drivers which, with trust between the drivers, can be taken side by side. the shallow banking dictates judicious use of the throttle with a compromise setup. while not being THE fastest track, an average of 150+mph and top speed before turn 4 of 170+mph doesn't qualify it as slow.

get the numbers of cars up and the crowds WILL return.

So did anyone stay watching it till the bitter end last night? What time did they pull the plug.
I dont suppose they will be showing the race today when it starts up again. I'm definately pleased I called it a night when th.e caution for rain came out

well, the sky epg seems to be slightly confused. i pressed "select" to set a reminder for world motorsport at 7.30pm and it says clashes with nascar 4:00pm ss extra(even though it's not listed). so i went to 4:00pm and selected tennis and that also came up as clashing with nascar. it would appear that they intend to show nascar on sky sports extra. the asian guy at sky customner services says that it will be from 6:00pm and that the epg will be updated. i'll take that information with a pinch of salt and will be checking from 4:00pm onwards.

set my V+ box to do the tennis, then something else, then I think it was raceworld - no mention of any clash. fingers crossed.

Well if this is way Sky is going, actually covering the second part of a race when it gets rained off then I'll give them full marks. You didn't get that with Setanta/NASN no what we got was piss all. Well done Sky.

According the EPG its on at Midnight tonight, but I've seen this happen before when a race is rain delayed, they still have it scheduled in as a repeat but they don't actually show it. It's usually just re-run footage from last weeks race.

Off to NASCAR.com for live streaming, hope it works, Kyle top of all 3 series would make my day :D

Loony. :p

Thanks for the other stuff though.

PS: He's not a bad driver I guess when he doesn't go a little mental. Mind you, it does make for some excitement from time to time.
