Is that a catch-22 argument though? F1 gets covered (generally) with the qualifying in full on the Saturday (unless it's at prime time, like USA, in which case ITV move it to make way for some ****e like Blind Date), then Sunday in full (with qualifying highlights before), with a highlights show later in the evening, and sometimes a rerun in full a few days later.
When the WRC was on Channel 4, it was 3 shows (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and each show was about an hour. Since it moved to ITV, it's all 3 days in one 60 minute show.
I saw the opening rounds of the BTCC the other weekend. It was all 3 races in a 40 minute program. The show was rubbish!
Can you tell that this is something that annoys me!
I used to watch plenty of motorsport (the above, plus GP2, GT racing, Superbikes, MotoGP, and some other stuff). Now the coverage for everything apart from F1 is rubbish. I wonder if sammi is colluding with the networks to get me to watch less TV? :chin:
