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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
