Bit pricy at 12squid but it IS uninterupted and you can have whatever shot you want. I might be tempted...

Yeah, I've already done the button pressing on the remote :) I'll be watching the first practice tonight at Midnight (but not the 3am one!), then qualifying at 2am on Saturday morning (yawn) and then the race at 3am Sunday morning.

Then again I suppose it's not surprising that I would do this ;) :D

Yeah - I'll be signing up I reckon - shame this one is such a stupid timed one to be testing it on though !! Does the race really start at 3am ?

Definitely NOT

I don't want to encourage this to become yet another sport that is unavailable to the masses unless you are prepared to get ripped off!

The Motor manufacturers sem to agree too!

Scooby - totally agree. However, as long as there is the free coverage as well, I don't have any objection to there being a 'premium' service as an option. You're right though, the sponsors will never let them make it Pay Per View only, as they'd lose 80% of their audience in one go.

Yep, 3am is the first race!!

Wish us luck...

I would but we can't get it on Ntl cable which is a poo :( However my parents have Sky digital :) but I don't think they'd appreciate me and Chris crashing into their house in the early hours of the morning and turning their tv on (complete with surround sound) ;) :D

Meant to also say we've watched the digital coverage in Germany a couple of times and it is superb, even when you can't understand a word of what's being said :)
