Oh and from a simulation point of view, I hope that a company like Sony
doesn't get the license. ;-)­

OK, I'm a prat! Bugger... don't you just hate it when that
happens? Discovered this salient fact after I posted the question... It's
my first foray away from F1, that's my excuse anyway...

Seems me and partner are to be marshalling at Brands this
weekend. To be found at the South Bank so I'm told... looking forward to
the Thoroughbred GP though... will be good to see those early 80's cars
again :o) Going to be a hectic weekend but may be fun... hope so!

Yeah. Which makes it all the more annoying for those of us that don't
have Sky (most, I'd imagine). Hopefully the programmes will appear on
BitTorrent shortly afterwards.

In The Netherlands it is shown on TV (IIRC RTL-7), but I suppose you mean
something you can pick off a satellite for free?

Yes, actually I thought of Eurosport, RTL (the German one), one of the
German public stations, or DSF, or any other free-to-air.

Even Sky don't rate it, I got rid of the movie channels last night (Which it
Skys way would have added £10.00 to my bill for enabling Record on Sky+) So
decided to subscribe to Sky Sports instead.
The problem was searching through the EPG, Sky just list it as *Live motor
Racing*...Looks like they've got used to having the monopoly on
football,They just buy other sports and think * Oh just stick it on the EPG
as live whatever*..At least ITV list their coverage of F1 AS F1 and not just
live whatever!
A pity I can't killfile anything to do with football on the EPG now :-/­

I take it you have not seen the A1 GP advert on Sky the past coule of weeks
then?
Yesterday it seemed to be in every 'ad break' they had on Sky sports 1 & 2.
I agree it's a bit of a 'pisser' not being shown on terrestial tv but let's
not condem sky's coverage until we have seen it. Can it be any worse than
ITV & F1? ........ time will tell.

Oh I agree totally ( I'm a little worried over our usual almost invisable F1
Dog and the Sky sports Dog being there, Then the Ad break timing to be
honest)

I scapped the movie channels last night simply because they were repeated
way too much and rather than go to the family pack or whatever it is now and
pay £10.00 extra for enabling record on Sky+, I decided to subscribe to Sky
sports package and save the tenner :-)­

It would have been nice to see something like this on Eurosport too, Pity
Sky jumped in really :-/­

get the highlights.

Not on SpeedTV. Gotta make room for that NASCAR coverage we're so deprived

I'd assume it would be in Grandstand before the second round, if any
deal has been done. Can't see them giving it a time slot of it's own.

It only on some Spanish Sports package. I tried looking on Directv web
