yup...have had that for about 8 months or so...all it is is a bunch of american cars being souped up to go in a straight line

[fozzi]

From the trailers, it looks like we'll be getting some British made shows too!

[Calorus]

I'm bored shitless of people who make fairground freaks that can't cope with corners.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a Land Rover product.

I'm bored shitless of people who make seaside pier freaks that can't appreciate the art of going fast in a straight line.

Ever been Drag Racing?

Of course I have! You think people who do real racing don't do fast in a straight line? They just understand that doing one thing very well and everything else not at all is just pointless.

And theres me thinking this is a thread about Land Rovers latest

So now Drag Racing is not a real sport and is pointless!?

If you knew what was involved to make a car go that fast i think you would respect it a bit more.

I respect circuit cars and how they are designed/engineered. But most Drag cars have got the same if not more technology on them.

If you have ever stood on the line as two top fuel cars leave the line you may have a different opinion.

So what motorsport do you enjoy?

I'm not saying that drag racing isn't a sport, or that I don't respect the engineering, but that said I do think it's pretty pointless.

I do like Rally Cross, Rally, DTM, SuperGT, MotoGP, LMP, FIAGT, WTCC, SBK... It's a pretty long list.

[fozzi]

Anyway guys, it is not a motor racing channel... try Eurosport or Motors for that!!!!

So far as I can tell, it will feature magazine and documentary programs looking at a mix of cars, bikes, airplanes, boats etc.... be it customisations, rebuilds, reviews or technical analysis.

[Calorus]

I didn't think it was, it's just that Digital Add-on Television is saturated with programmes filled with people making cars which are designed specifically to flounder in most situations and be flummoxed by anything even approaching the slightest change of direction.

Eh? I appreciate the length and breadth of of motorsport, with the exception of Drag and Oval. As far as I'm concerned, racing should test all of the requisite qualities of a vehicle, not just one.

That's bad news. I love the programs on that channel, from the old stuff to new tech. Bruce Dickenson does a good job on Flying Heavy Metal too.

We won't need it, because the Aircraft programming will be integrated into this instead, meaning less dross.

Playing Devil's Advocate, presumably you won't be watching any programmes about aircraft designed with only one purpose in mind?
