I't being repeated loads of times over the next few days.
I've just watched it. A good programme 1 hour long with loads of action. BUT, where was the Stockhatch coverage. I am going to watch the next showing with a stopwatch. I bet the crowd scenes and presenter pieces add up to more time than the Stockhatches got. |

Well I got the stopwatch out.
Presenter pieces, and crowd shots 1 min 46 secs, Stockhatch coverage 1 min 25 secs, and thats in an hour long show. Quote:
It isn't yet but will be soon I hope The strange thing about the break up in the transmission was, on the first showing there was only one small break, but on the 11 0'clock one, it was the whole of the last section that was breaking up. I dread to think what it will be like by the end of the weekend. i have to agree with you Mark, about Samantha Thom. What a brilliant racer she is. She pulled the same move at the top of Hairy Hill twice, to pass Ben Rennison and Mathew Nesbitt. Quote:

Brid did the first round lastyear, but someone allegedly took a photo of her cleavage/down her top & she wasn't best pleased about it & she wasn't seen at a rallycross meeting again lastyear..!

For goodness sake stop moaning abotu no Stoick Hatch coverage will you, its a budget class with little or no spectacle!
Yes the racing is cheap and might be good but is is as news and camera friendly as a lass i Minis, No! Is ir spectacular like the supercars, No. Is it brawn against brains like Modified, No! Does it get the crowds in, No! Give up and be thankful youa re on tv at all! |

So tell me whats wrong with the spectacle of stockhatch? Apart from the speed that is.
You will see more do or ie moves in stockhatch than any other class - surly that makes good viewing? |

It might make good viewing sometimes but its kinda like that awful Fiesta stuff they put on Motors tv, the cars look a bit scruffy (not all of them OK!!) and they look a bit slow. Just doesnt work on tv. The Minis are slow yes but they look kinda funny and are driven by kids, the rest of the classes are fast and spectacular, result,, better tv.
I am not saying that it shouldnt be on there, but its a budget class for beginnners effectively so why expect 10 mins of coverage? I am of the opinion that the coverage being based around Irish tv probably means some of the drivers are paying for it anyway? Is this true? Its happened before! |

Got to disagree with you Chunder
Since I helped out with Dave Ewin and knowing Hal Stockhatch is pretty good and all cars should have equal coverage. I get far more enjoyment from helping out with Dave than I did with the last team I was with in Rallycross. If it wasnt for Stockhatch some events would struggle to get the entries up |

I suppose it also has to do with the fact that the broadcast is clearly sponsored by Kumho tyres and Stockhatch drives on another brand?
And if you all are fair, BRDA stockhatch was clearly the most boring class in Lydden, with Godfrey winning it by a mile. On the other hand, the mini's and Supermodifieds were extremely nice, not to mention the superfinal. |

Hi
I agree that more stock hatch coverage would have been better, perhaps a montage of qualifying heats before showing the final, with an interview of one of the drivers. Must take slight issue with Silver Bullet on one point though, all classes do not pay the same towards the TV fund, supercar most, stock hatch least. See the entry forms on the website for the full schedule of costs. Overall, i thought the coverage was better than last year, and the extra half hour helps. |

Supercars pay 3 times as much as Stockhatch, and Supermods twice as much. So it is only fair they get the bulk of the coverage. I still maintain however that at least 3 minutes for the Stockhatches isn't too much to expect. Quote:

I have to say I could not fault tonights coverage. All classes got a reasonable amount of air time (even Stockhatches). Plenty of action and just the right amount of fill. Great programme, well done
Mind you, I had to laugh at young Like Pinder's comment. Looks like Tina's giving him good tips in the art of rallycrossing |
