Lets be honest sky's coverage is an absolute disgrace.
Anybody else notice that NASN are showing the nationwide race at the same time sunday as sky are showing the delayed sprint cup highlights.
We really are getting screwed by both sports packages.

i cant believe the bristol race isnt on live!!!. Bristol races are some of the biggest events of the year.
Who the hell watches A1 GP?
That series is a bigger pile of *@!" than bolting on 4 new Goodyears on your car at Atlanta! :p
according to BARB, 67,000 people watched Live A1GP on 24th February, and was rated 7th most watched programme on Sky Sports 2 of that week.Quote:

Your entire argument is flawed by that comment! Nascar has nowhere near the reach of F1 globally, get real please. And as for others comments about A1GP, unbelieveable! I am a Motorsports fan generally, and a recent convert to Nascar prompted by Sky's coverage. Having recently joined this forum its clear to see that many members are as narrowed minded as those who simply follow other specialised forms of Motor racing. I.E. Ours is the best, we have the best drivers, ours deserves more coverage than any other.Quote:

It has made a fairly significant investment to bring people like me on board and it IS ONLY the volume of new fans that will dertermine whether or not the coverage remains. A small number of die-hard enthusiasts is NEVER going to support continued coverage, on Sky or any other channel.
Giving Sky constant abuse and a general hard time is not going to encourage them to stick with the coverage. Large viewing numbers will. Expect them to experiment with both the type and length of coverage this year.
Fee way bill , your missing the point mate, our argument isnt whats most popular in the Uk between the two motorsports , its we were told live races , also why did sky even bother to get the rights in the first place , they didnt do their homework and they have uneducated people commentating on the sport and by the looks of things they dont even have enough room to show it.Highlights of Bristol race is a p!!! take not much more than you get on channel 5 or us five , if they cant show it properly or at the very least as live when this happens then why the hell didnt they leave it well alone at Nasn.
deleted by me...
Since sky have lost a load of the footy now setanta have half the games, they have a load of cash to spend on other sports. if you look sky sports they have bought up lots of other sports recently.Quote:
