2016 BRC (British Rally Championship)

[Fly_Half]

Yes I know the accredited spectator thread has brought out the worst in a few members mainly marshals and radio operators who don't want to share their ball with anyone!

This is so true. I'm absolutely sick to death of self righteous, pompous knobheads on BR bleating on about "giving something back to the sport and marshalling".

Here's a thought, I DON'T WANT TO MARSHAL.

Not surprised by lack of info, I think we'll need to get used to details only being released a week before an event.

For clubmen/ BTRDA events that's fine. But for the premier UK series, and an International series at that, surely it needs to be a bit earlier.

Seeded entry list out https://www.rallies.info/webentry/20...e=s&combined=1

Nice to see the seeded version, I know most of the names had been announced but it's a great looking list, nice to see so many top cars and drivers on it.

I see MotorsTV has now taken itself off Sky (Ch 447) ...

Good job the BRC didnt do a TV deal with them !

Rumours are really flying about the story behind that. Seems that there is currently a back door way for Sky people to view (and Freeview is still fine for those with data connections) but many people seem to be saying it's the end. Real shame if true but I guess that's the peril of a niche channel.

Yep, I've managed to get it back on Sky using this method:

You can still view the channel on your satellite box by going to the “add channel” menu and entering the following settings;

Freq 11.082
Polarity H,
Baud Rate 22000 or 22.0
FEC 5/6,
DVB-S,
QPSK

Press scan and then highlight and store MotorsTV UK. Note, you will only be able to access it from the “Other Channels” menu of your receiver.

Only problem is you cant record any programmes with this. I hear that it may come back on the Sky EPG next week...

Motors TV has returned to Sky channel 447, a week after it vanished.

Solid, entertaining coverage on Channel 4 this morning. Tough to cram an edit into less than 30mins but they did a good job. Looking forward to the longer show on BT now - as the only complaint is we didn't see enough of the R5 field.

[MrJan]

Yep that was pretty good stuff really. Amazing that they managed to introduce the season, the idea of rallying and still have time to fit in a reasonable allocation to the juniors and a mention of some other classes. Hope the additional time for the BT coverage is used for footage and not features/interviews though.
