I emailed worldsbk.tv to ask them what I would get for subscribing for a year to there service and the person said not much. So we can't even watch streaming video from the official company :( How crap is that.

Yep, down the pub, that will work for this weekend, but not for the rest of the races as they are on at about midnight.

So much for rupert murdoch. He's even trying to charge NTL/Virgin in the UK more so they are now loosing some channels cause the cable company isn't stomaching it.

Surely this is like Telstra.... a monopoly over what we can watch.

Yeah it's called F1 Car racing Hemi, azpart from those 2 there is no other motor sport, forget what Mat Mladin, Casey Stoner, Troy Bayliss, Troy Corser et al are doing, it simply doesn't exist!!!

I watched the superbikes at my local bowls club.

Big screen was great, but they had the gambling screens playing louder and the bloke wouldn't put SBK up anymore.

I had to sit down wind of this bloke who smelt terrible and no matter where i moved to, i could smell him.

Well, seeing as the rest of the races are on at midnight from now on, that will be the last superbikes i see unless i cough up 60 bux a month to watch it from f*cktel.

Sad that basketball and the like get more coverage that superbikes at phillip island..
