Bathurst 2009

[TALBO]

the unending effing ads!!!

And how fkn long did they seem to go for!!!

[Snowman]

Sounds like I got lucky.

I had to take my 4yo daughter out yesterday morning so I put the race on record and when I got home (about 1pm) I watched the whole race in 2x speed and skipped the commercial breaks. By doing that I had actually caught back up to "live" with 6 laps to go!

Was a great way to watch it!

I did a similar thing... started watching from 9:30am the coverage from 7am and skipped all the repeated segments from fri/sat then caught up to the race, then did some stuff around the house went out n had lunch then caught up again with about 30 laps to go.

I have no problems with the commentators except for Mathew White. The other guys do joke abit but they know alot of technical stuff that you wouldn't get from people like Greg Rust or Daryl Beattie.

Who was the old commentator ? Back say around the VP dunnydoor era ?

[Roy]

Mike Raymond and Mark Oastler. Oastler was good !

I actually think Ch7's technical insights are pretty good, it helps explain tech to folks who don't know, and saves us who do know the pain of trying to explain tech to them without looking like a know all. lol

I don't like 7 having presenters who don't know shit, but it doesn't worry me for the rest of the year, because Bathurst is the only time I watch the V8's.

Oh well......Lowndsey and Whincup got 5th...clearly past their prime.....good riddance I say.

Holden can have Fevola too .........sorry wrong sport

Thing that pisses me off about the commentators is they are wearing RACE SUITS !!! WTF ???

And in general have no idea what they are talking about, So spew rubbish comments.

Ummmm, they have to because they're in the pits. Fire safety.

[blackrex]

As they are in the active pit lane, the rules require them to wear the suits.
