Might watch it on Sunday if i can, only because it is in NZ though as i normally don't bother watching the A1GP (mainly because i'm watching motorsport on TV1 or not near a tv).

I can't ever remember motorsport on TV1 when A1GP is live on 3 (this weekend will be the first) and what kind of lame excuse is not being near a TV, did it run away? :lol:

TV1 motorsport will be worth taping for the bike street races and TRS but A1GP live is the one to watch.

well actually JT, often A1GP clashed with some F1 coverage, and bathurst hilights.
and the replay is often opposite tv1 motorsport on sunday arvos.

but anyway, thats still no excuse :twisted:

Yeah I knew about sunday arvo, but you'll note I said 'live' A1GP and people should've watched bathurst live too :twisted:

You mean someone besides the pit crew watched F1? :lol:

It looks good but that back straight looks really bumpy to me it does'nt look like theres going to be alot of overtaking but mind you I kinda expected that as when we did our trackday there in November I thought that the new infield section looks really tight and there is only really one line through alot of the corners and with the top 8 or 9 cars within 8 tenths of a second between them this will only excentuate this but it looks like a good weekend none the less..

But not more than your 20v au :P
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Good race pity about the tightness of the new track making the racing not as good as some of the other rounds.
But overall yay for NZ good result :D

Maybe its just me, but the track seems a bit too narrow...
