<edit> I see Ian & Paul are thinking along the same lines

yup we sure are , the race starts at 5-30 so i reckon it will be tight for it not to overun into itv2 , as the football dont start until 7-45 i cant see why they couldnt start the football at say 7-30
as it happens it dont matter as i have sky , i would be well annoyed if i didnt though itv

This is where Sky+ comes into its own. England v France set to record so that means I can watch F1 until the race finishes and if it overlaps with the football I can immediately start to watch the match from the start, missing nothing. Try doing that with your VCR.

the itv2 coverage is there i think for the post race stuff and as a backup if it does over run. The f1 has already moved its start half an hour early in an attempt to avoid any cross over which is unlikely to happen itself but of course the football folk need there hours of worthless build up banter about nothing.
Just like with the f1 they should stop the rumours and show coverage no body is interested in what they think.

In our house we listened to the qualy on 5live extra and there audio coverage was supurb far more accurate and incitefull than the non live itv rubbish. 5live had anthony davidson assisting with commentry who is an upto date f1 driver who knows exactly what is going on because he does handfulls of laps on friday so he can talk about technical things properly.

I was glad to see though that the advert breaks in the f1 were nothing but a pair of itv adverts each time, apart from the paper that i cant remember as there main sponser they had nobody else :-D serves them rite for putting out such crap at useless times and still pretending that its live :rolleeyes:

That's recording straight after Moto GP but I forgot about the Indy car racing and BTCC. And some are asking why you would want to record two programs at once. NZ all out for 218 if you are interested.

and touring cars , my head is


edit :- beaten to the touring cars , doh

How the *hell* does Michael Schumacher *do* it?!

He starts in sixth. He's racing down in the lower places. He's got car trouble and yet, somehow he *STILL* goes on to win the bloody race!!

Ok, so he is an incredible driver, but he got this one by sheer bloody fluke of the Renaults dropping out, more than anything else. Somehow it doesn't seem fair!

Theirs Class And Their Is FIRST Class

[Alanmelon]

A couple of big crashes so far - Alonso and R Schumacher are out following suspected punctures/tyre failure. Had a couple of safety cars too, but it looks to have played into the hands of the Ferraris again!

formula one.wake me up when its over.champ cars are on at 9.00 much more exciting and you don't know who's going to win before the race starts.
f1 motor RACING, bernie ecclestone should be sued under the trades description act.
