It has to be the BBC's F1 theme tune. Good old Auntie Beeb...

Defiantly “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac (the BBC theme) although I do like the FIA jingle 5 minutes before the start of the race. It just sets the race up perfectly.
The ITV theme does not have any passion. |

Yup, 'The Chain' does it for me too. I even have it as the ring tone on my mobile, how sad!

The BBC theme by far... it just fitted... If its the WRC theme then im gonna have to start watching the start of the rally programmes!!!
Dirty Magic by the Offspring seemed to sample a part of that theme. Whens the next rally coverage then? |

I really like the ITV tune - even though the BBC one was probably more fitting etc.......i think the ITV tune rocks - gets u revved up (excuse the pun) for the race ahead!

The ITV jingle they play just before the race begins with the Computer graphics etc. I agree with Yorkie on that point.
I can't stand the theme though, esp. the stuff the play after the ad breaks.

I liked the old Channel 7 (Australia) motorsport theme song from the 80s.

Erm, I know I'm very late to the party, but does anyone know what the theme music used by ITV4 for the BTCC in 2009 was?!

I'm insulted no one has yet said the old BBC Rally Report theme. Otherwise known as Jewelled by Propaganda.
The best by absolutely miles

Remember the Indycar on ITV theme when Nige went over. Wow, it was as good as the reporter.

And what was it, anyway? |
