    Less than 4 hours ride at 89mph. Hell, I used to come down from central Scotland for my Cadwell fix...it's that good.

    I personally thought the A1 GP tv coverage was piss poor (when compared to F1, motogp or superbikes). On a modest budget, I guess it's a hard call whether to have limited delayed TV coverage or use the money elsewhere.

    Maybe sticking some relatively inexpensive bullet cams to some of the bikes, using some common camcorders trackside and paying for decent video editing to make a dvd or pay per view webby clips would be better?

From time to time I watch the TV1 motorsport show on Sunday afternoon and the various Sky programmes covering NZ motorsport (Fujitsu Motorsport, Suzuki Speedweek, Karcher Pitlane, are there any others?). I come across occasional snippets of bike racing from last week or last month or last year. On Wednesday night there was a brief summary of the Ruapuna results (with the obligatory coverage of Sam Smith high-siding) but there must be more! Can I find out in advance what's going to be covered in each of these programmes? How long after the event do they typically cover the bike racing? Or do I have to tape every minute of every NZ motorsport show and look for it myself.

    Apologies if this info is available elsewhere on the site. I did do a quick search with no success.
    Ring this man and say Uncle Phil suggested it. If you like I can send you the programmes a week in advance but I do not know what bikes they are featuring. Ausie V8's are going to 3 so Channel 1 have more options now. You can thank David for what little coverage we do get he has motorsport at heart unlike some channels.
