    they showed live coverage of BSB last week end and showing WSBK this week end.
    Well done for a freeview channel.

    BBC, learn a lesson and stop waiting license & tax payers money on useless PGM, continuously redesigning your web site. We want an honest motorsport coverage without most of the money spent on expensive presenters, lots of drunk cameramen producing shaky meaningless images.

    Maybe its me. I think of motor racing as a sport and not so much as entertainment:rolleyes:

    It's better than nowt granted, but non HD is shite after you have been spoilt with HD. Disgrace Eurosport are not showing it when it's the home round. Who the feck watches tennis anyway unless it's ruddy wimbledon.

    I bet more people visit Roland Garros in a day then we're at Donny today.
    Quite amazing to see such poor crowds at the wsbk nowadays. Didn't even look busy at foggy esses. And both sides of cranner Old hairpin Starkys were dead.

    What's the cost of the tickets now. Anyone know? Both days and individual?

    That's really disappointing to hear. I'm a regular to Donno and WSBK and the numbers have been falling each time. I think the new format doesn't help. I cant have 2 days to go watch racing. I'd rather have 3 races (2 x WSBK, 1 WSSP) in one day and get a much fuller day.

    maybe it is because Kawasaki has been winning every year for the past ??? years. £45 is not too bad.
    I actually don't mind the resolution it is the content and the commentary which get my attention.
    For me, you can't beat ex-racers/ riders who do the commentary in contrast to high paid presenters who suffer from verbal diarrhea and are paid by the amount of talking and shouting they do!

    Cant see that as a reason. Its only the last few years of Kwack wining there and Its a brit riding it for those wins. Assen was always packed when Foggy and the Duc were all over it.
