Wow the quality on the replay races is really bad. It makes the race almost unwatchable. Its like trying to watch a 240p video on youtube.

Not worth 30 quid.

Looking forward to this weekend's races. They've just had their first session.

David Wall 4th on the grid, top stuff!

Just thinking if they'd come to the UK then Donington park would be be perfect
Also logistically it's perfect as the East Midlands airport is virtually next to the track

The though of this lot barrelling down Craner Curves is something to think about

Wonder if it'll ever happen...

Cadwell would be fun

Looks like the YouTube feed has fallen over for me.

Blimey, how fast are they round there? Mighty. I'd echo the "Bring them to Donington!" calls.

The FIA won't let them race anywhere in the EU.

Some rule they came up with a couple of years back.

That's just daft, especially as the Aussie F1 GP has a non point scoring round of V8s

Does anyone actually know their reason for this rule?

[IainW]

They agreed to it as part of their FIA international status.

Enjoyed those races last night, that track really lends itself to overtaking.

In other words, some series they would be competing with in Europe lobbied the FIA to make that a condition?

Sounds about right....

The WTCC > are the DTM under the FIA.

I think if someone came up with a decent proposal with enough $$$$$ then the FIA would roll over.

The idea of that circuit that has an airport nearby would be ideal as when they fly everything they need packs into 2 747's.

But remember they are part owned [40% I think] by private equity firm Archer Capital so everything has to show a [big] profit.

MotorsTV picture really is guff. Also has bloody adverts. Lets hope Premier Sports has the full season off races.

Sounds a bit fishy to me.
