hi, I was not sure where to post this, I saw some other things that were not bike related below, so I hope this is ok.

I dont see where the 2013 season is being broadcast, seems like TV3 does not have it this year (thank god, far out they sucked), I have been doing some searching but I have not found any where to watch it yet with out having a Oz satellite dish.

anyone buller?

****. Don't have Sky Sport....now the question is will Sky broadcast it live over all 3 days, or just the final race on Sunday with replays of qualifying etc. before the main event....

If it's live all 3 days, I might just have to get Sky sport

Here is the press release: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/v8-supercars-and-sky-tv-nz-announce-five-year-agreement

Broadcasting over 3 days for the major races, otherwise live races on other weekend. Still a lot better than 11.30pm and a day late TV3 coverage of something that's been on the news.

SKY Sport is delighted to announce motorsport fans will have full LIVE coverage of V8 Supercars for the next five years through to the end of 2017, including six and a half hours of LIVE action from the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide this weekend.

“We welcome SKY Television to the V8 Supercar family and look forward to a fantastic and enduring partnership,” V8 Supercar CEO David Malone said.

“We are delighted our approach to SKY has led to this new partnership as our ever-growing New Zealand fan base is incredibly important to us. We are certain partnering with SKY ensures the ultimate package for the fans, the sport, our teams and our invaluable partners.”

V8 Supercar races will be broadcast live on SKY Television on Saturdays and Sunday. Signature events, including this weekend’s Clipsal 500, will also feature Friday coverage.
SKY will broadcast 250 km races live from Adelaide this Saturday and Sunday; as well as ARMOR ALL Qualifying and the ARMOR ALL Top Ten Shootout on Friday.

“The agreement with SKY Television delivers full coverage of all races across the season. This was particularly imperative for us when we began the negotiations, Mr Malone said.

“For these reasons SKY Television is a fantastic broadcast partner for our sport in New Zealand.”

Richard Last, Director of Sport at SKY was enthusiastic about welcoming V8’s to SKY Sport;

“V8’s are a fantastic addition to SKY Sport, I know there will be a lot of very happy SKY customers with this news. The SKY Sport team are passionate about all sport and are looking forward to delivering V8 Supercar races to motorsport fans”.

Kiwi motorsport fans will be able to support the four New Zealand drivers Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Fabian Coulthard and former A1GP driver Jonny Reid on the grid. Kiwi great Greg Murphy will also drive for the Holden Racing Team in the Endurance Cup.
Murphy is also vying for a place on the grid at the ITM400 Auckland in April if he can secure backing to enter a Holden Racing Team supported wild card entry.

dont know but I bet you are not going to be the first or the last to ask that question, I would not be surprised to see them advertise something because they won the contract.

I am so stoked with this!!!
I already have Sky HD for bike stuff, now the Mrs will be happy the V8's are on it too.
So looking forward to V8 Extra. TV3 never showed it, and we missed a lot of behind the scenes stuff!!!

Well done Sky, I am happy to pay for good service!

It was so much better when they just had a whole freeview channel dedicated to it. Good old TVNZ. But I guess I'll be looking into a SKY subscription now too.
