Chris, if i had to pay, i wouldn't have bothered, and if i'd known they were were gonna shag around so much, i would have given my complimentary tickets to someone else and done some jobs at home.
14 x 15 minute (average) races over 7 hours isn't entertainment, it's show-boating. for sure there was a built in time bracket for delays, but that should never be equal to the race duration.
MSNZ or The Motorsport Company should be ashamed of they way that conducted the event, and should watch an event run by either the Classic Motor Racing Club or any speedway club as to how to keep the spectators enterained.

i think i have been around motorsport long enough to had a valid concern over entertainment value, and it gets worse every year.

curious to know what part of the track you were watching from?
