Yay for local TV !! [BMW bike racing]

[HenryDorsetCase]

I was flicking channels over the weekend and on Canterbury TV they have a show called "Drive" Motorsports news magazine show: had coverage of A1 GP, tin top racing, and BMW Power Cup. That was really good racing. Apparently a support class for MotoGP, some big names and lurid slides: they use the new K1200 Bimmers and they seem to go bloody hard ALL The time. Definitely worth a watch if you can manage to see it.

Yep awesome racing. Its also shown on Primes Motorsport proggy on Saturday afternoons (i think).

Those Power Cup bikes are the 'biz. I only wish I had the dosh for the road version.

Its an enjoyable series - good when people are on the same machines - much like the old aprilia cup in the uk. But I've heard this was its last year tho - wonder if its true or not.

They don't muck around, those big Bimmers...

Didn't know that it was on CTV but have certainly seen some action on Prime, great stuff especiall that motrad racing that was on last week in the rain.

I watched it. Enjoyed cos of all the carnage and there certainly was plenty. It was on Sanyong Speedweek, but I would rather watch NZ racing of any description. On or off road.
