Why would they sign such a stupid contract in the first place. Audience is the most important thing they have. Look at the domestic 20 20 cricket. No one gave no fk when it was on Foxtel. Put it on free to air and every man and his dog were watching it.

Highlight packages are absolute rubbish. Imagine Ten will put them to air at 3.00am between an advertorial about saucepans and one about gym equipment. Muppets.

Anyway screw you 888. Glad they choked after all the shit Roland Dane has handed out over the years.

10 airing them LIVE.... Also 2020 makes enough from the spectators at the games to not give a fk. Foxtel probably offered more than 10 did for the broadcasting rights. That's all that matters really, and thus is life.

Also welcome to Australia. V8's are getting more popular around the world and they are trying to turn it into a real world special. This is the way they are going

No commonwhore or falcon because they don't make them anymore?

It will still be the same car as a commonwhore or a falcon but just not badged that way. It will hardly kill the sport. Just aussies crying because the badge is gone. commonwhore and falcon should have been stopped being made here a long time ago.

10 airing some rounds live. The difference between last years 20 20 and prior years in terms of attendance was big. Why? Because people got to see it on FTA, got interested then turned up. You don't BUILD audience via FOXTEL, just let Rupert exploit them. V8's are not the EPL after all.

V8's aren't getting more popular. It has been consistent for a while now. They have been trying to get traction oversees for years. And failing I might add. No US swing next season which is another failed venture.

It will be dead by then. No Commodore, no Falcon and COTF. So we are going to have GT3 racing with Camaros, Mustanges and Volvos, E63s etc?

It's starting to shrink and it will continue to shrink.

Last time that I compared the spectator attendance round vs round of NRL vs V8SC the V8SC was either equal or better every round (3 day v8sc weekend vs all games that week for the NRL).

Can't be doing too badly

Have a read of this and tell me we are all wrong,,,well except for Ben,

http://www.speedcafe.com/2014/10/13/epic-bathurst-draws-strong-television-audience/

Really channel 7 should be ashamed of themselves,,,they had over an hours extra time during the lunch inverval to punch out heaps of ads but still ran tons after the resumption.

Glad I have foxtel,,,but I don't watch that much v8's anymore. There's much better racing on the speed channel elsewhere around the world and now bloody foxtel is changing there channels,,,you can't win.

Cheers

Neil.

The spectators aren't shrinking the business is.

that's if they still have sponsors after there, now what was it, 5 year contract?

The teams can't find sponsors now I don't know what it'll be like with a much smaller market.

Mathews ,,,V8 stupid cars don't care about tv ratings from the smaller events. They are after the foxtel dollars because that was the best way to put bucks back in the pockets of the whinging teams that cockren promised they would get.

Theres a team entering next year that I have been a fan of for many many,,,(back to Rick Mears days) years and Roger would not have bought stupid DJR if he didn't think A/ He could make money B/ He could win C/ He stole Ambrose from nascar and D/ It would help his trucking businesses. Penske is no fool and I would be very worried if I was Roland wanker Dane.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
