2007 V8 Supercar TV "Facts".

bazil · 6 Feb 2007, 03:11 (Ref:1834413)

Fact 1: All races at all rounds in 07 will be Live.

Fact 2: All Qualifying in 07 to be shown Live.

Fact 3: There will be a 26 part dedicated V8 Supercar Talk show.

Forget all the RUBBISH comment on various threads talking doom and gloom about TV for Supercars on 7 these are the facts which will be announced shortly which add up to around 45 hours more LIVE coverage than ever before and around 40 hours more talkshow time...

This great news will be made public shortly and will have all REAL racing fans excited about the big year ahead!

As for all the NEGATIVE, WHINGING, OXYGEN THIEVES that spend most of thier time on these forums bagging everything to do with Supercars and its undoubted spectacular success, give yourselves a "double" uppercut and move on.

Those same thieves will no doubt jump on now and offer some more mindless dribble that is completly void of fact as they continue thier speaking for the minority war against Australias premier Motorsport catorgorie.

Soo....Does that mean the race times will be altered to fit in with AFL and that we will see a race, an AFL game then another race? (doesnt bother me, aslong as its live)

barney551 · 6 Feb 2007, 03:21 (Ref:1834417)

James ... what rock have you crawled out from under.... this has been stated from the beginning with the likelyhood that the Dev Series will follow the main game on Sundays so the main races willbe over before the AFL ....we hope.

Well said bazil ... cant agree with you more. I don't know what all these doomsday prophets have been wailing about.

James63 · 6 Feb 2007, 03:57 (Ref:1834423)

A comfortable one.

Venom XR · 6 Feb 2007, 03:58 (Ref:1834424)

Thanks bazil

just asking · 6 Feb 2007, 04:09 (Ref:1834429)

Nice work Bazil. Well said.

Not that im doubting your info.....how do you know that it will be live etc...
Inside knowledge?......my sources are very well placed, and i havent even heard this news yet!!

lowdown · 6 Feb 2007, 04:25 (Ref:1834436)

Great work. Facts are good. Doesn't stop poeple bagging you though. I'm sure that there is still some races that WILL NOT be live. I read last week that at least race 3 will be delayed

Pro Racer · 6 Feb 2007, 04:26 (Ref:1834437)

thanks for the clear up baz.

I think you will find another soon to be public announcment regarding AFL and not free to air Telly will make things clearer...

dirttrack · 6 Feb 2007, 05:36 (Ref:1834458)

Not 100% correct Bazil on three race weekends race two will be delayed leading in to a live telecast of race three. But good news for the tv fans.

I guess you'd class me in that 'minority', but i've never been negative towards this TV deal, i thinks its great (especially as support categories are getting sameday TV coverage, that is the best bit)

Picky Picky... Race 2 has always been subject to some delay due to timing and where the event is so if that is the only concern than I can live with that correction. I think you are missing the point though and that is the TV coverage is going far greater than ever and is a massive bonus for fans.

FPV GTHO · 6 Feb 2007, 06:12 (Ref:1834470)

So even the rounds in NZ, WA and Bahrain will be live?

lowdown · 6 Feb 2007, 06:12 (Ref:1834471)

It was always going to be better but the question was how better. I believe dirttrack was only picking at your FACT FILE Baz.

An extra 45 hours live an an extra 40 in Talkshow style. Thats pretty clear I thought.

While your at it hows my grammer and spellung? I reckon its much more goodlier than before...

peckstar · 6 Feb 2007, 07:41 (Ref:1834496)

bazil correct me if im wrong but havent you just restated what channel 7 said they were going to do when the announcment was made (was it august?).

so its fair to say that nothing has changed and we will get what we were told we were going to get

Out of interest, what is a real race fan.

Kind of Peckstar except actual detail like 26 editions of the Talkshow and the number of extra live hours and that all qualifying will be live.

Mostly this is aimed at those that predicted Doom and Gloom even though 7 had promised to deliver in their original announcment. At that very press conference(served really crap sambos) even the journos present were sceptical due to AFL concerns regarding programming. You dont pay as much money for TV rights as they did and then not pay respect to the product
otherwise you can never profit from it.

Pending announcments will clarify this point.

Cheers

Bazil.

I think chanel 7 plan to boost the football ratings by having guys like bazil finished at the track and home to watch the footy on sunday arvo.

Stop it! your killing me..

cmifsud · 6 Feb 2007, 13:37 (Ref:1834699)

Oh yes, and with everything live, I guess when we have 5 min ad breaks, every ten or so mins, the race will end up being butchered. Seven have to recoup their millions somehow.

lowdown · 6 Feb 2007, 21:39 (Ref:1834958)

You da man Baza!

Hello DRT,

Although I would like to take more credit for the "Real" race fan comment in a sacaristic offering I have to be honest and tell you I was simply refering to people who actually like to watch or participate in Motorsport.

As aposed to those that just whinge about it and how everying could or should be better or different...

Bazil.

rustyinsthoz · 7 Feb 2007, 00:03 (Ref:1835041)

This idea of live coverage doesn't make much sense to me. If that was the case, there would be four different times slots over the course of a three race weekend to cover qualifying and racing. If seven want to attract maximum viewers, they would group qualifying and race one on Saturday into one program and do likewise with race two and three on Sunday.

As for all this hype about live coverage, it doesn't much interest me. Last year, the only telecasts I sat down and watched was Adelaide race two, Sandown and Bathurst. All the rest I recorded and watched at a later gate.

In the end, apart from covering qualifying, I think there will be only a minimal difference between the seven and ten coverage.
