BSB - Brands Hatch GP - 9 April - Chat Here, May Contain Spoilers

Judging from the sunday test times at snetterton, it looks like kiyo is going to have a fair amount of competition for his crown this year. Leon Camier certainly is the dark horse in the mix. Rutter is looking good on the MSS Kwak but strangely Shakey and Stalker are a little bit out of it as far as the times are concerned. Having an F06 999 doesn't seem to have slowed down the airwaves boys either...seems the trick bits from italy are certainly doing what they were bought in for.

Looks like its going to be a cracker of a weekend!

I was down there yesterday, sadly don't think I can make it down for the racing. A few nice bikes about tho.

I've had the champions league football on for a bit now in the background and there have been loads of plugs for the boxing, "a great motorsport weekend with the Malaysian Grand Prix" and even at least 2 plugs for the boat race. But not one mention of BSB on pushed to the corner ITV4.

This is the opening round of the most popular motorsport in the country and most wouldnt know it was on!

So I've had a look and people can leave comments at: dutyoffice@itv.com

If people want the sport to get out to the public send them a message and make sure they not only promote it properly, but give it the coverage and time slot it deserves. If even the regulars on here at least do it we may be able to make then see sense.

Thanks mate. I posted this to the duty office:

"Easter Monday sees the opening round of the British Superbike championship. Local lad Leon Haslam will be going all out to make up for being pipped at the post in the final round of last year’s championship. Along with many others I enjoyed ITV’s coverage last year, so why is this eagerly awaited event relegated to ITV4? I hope this is a one off and full coverage will be resumed for the rest of the season’s racing."

BTW if anyone reads the TV mags it ain't listed for ITV4 (at least not in the one I have) but on the website it is. 16:00 - 18:00.

Cheers Keith

Yeah we will be there too. The mrs. can finally ride her monster now I've shaven a couple of inches off the seat so I don't have a pillion, woohoo! Anyone else coming fromt he M4/Reading area???

You're not alone, ITV appear to have forgotten to inform Virgin Media to begin broadcasting ITV4 two hours earlier than normal, so there are a few people unexpectedly joining you in the 'no bike racing' club!

LOL, Well, hope you managed to watch it! Interesting racing, shame about CW and LH.

But 2 questions;

1. Why is James Cracknell host?

2. Who is that woman doing the pit lane chat??? "Look at the back of the grid.........." No love, I'd rather look at James Toseland who is sitting right in front of the camera who you obv don't recognise.

D'oh.
