Race of Champions 2017

[fcuk1_6]

On the ROC website is shows that Ch4 is showing highlights in the UK and that "Sky" is showing both live and highlights but I cannot find anything on the TV guide, does anyone know what Sky channel and or times?

[DanielSan]

Last few years it's been on Motors TV.

2000 on both Sky Sports Mix and Sports F1 for the Saturday and 1700 on Sky Sports F1 for Sunday.

Race of Champions - originally set up as an end of season 'not totally serious' competition for rally drivers in Gran Canaria.

Now a money making scheme, without any top rally drivers in it - and on the same weekend as the WRC opener......something has gone wrong.

The event got delayed for some reason it was supposed to be at the end of last year.

No top level rally drivers - apart from Petter Solberg

Heads up it's on sky f1 now!

[Mafioso]

Well I gave it half an hour and got bored. Terrible in-race camera work.

[sirtyro]

Yeah I tried as well but the camera work is bad. Doesn't look like much of a crowd.

[noell35]

Wehrlein just had a massive shunt.

[haggishunter]

Ouch!

[FourWheelDrift]

Just tuning in. I'm worried about the actual cross-over they are using this year, no bridge but an actual lane change, what if they arrive at the same time?

Races also seem a lot shorter.

For those of you without SkyF1 use VPN via Norway and you can get the live stream from the roc website.

I am using tunnel bear for iOS. All working fine through the Apple TV.

Circuit looks very tight and favouring the left lane as they finish as can get power down sooner on drag to line

[Blayney]

Steering wheel came off in Kanaans hands? That's not good!

[FourWheelDrift]

Strop.

[Blayney]

Massa tamping! It's not like he lost the WDC in the last corner or something...

Poor Kristensen...

Been to a few of these over the years in the UK and France, the thing that makes the event is a decent circuit layout (obviously including a fly-over ! ). Last year's layout at the Olympic Park was pretty uninspiring but the Miami version was dreadful, far too tight and at no stage did the cars run side by side other than at the start.

Amazed at Vettel "not turning up" - he looked in a class of his own last year especially in the RoC buggy. . I think Wehrlein was a lucky boy - if that awful 3 wheeled thing had gone into that concrete barrier on its head I think Sauber would have been looking for another driver this year....Commentary was a bit amateur but nothing compared to the Winners' ceremony - what the hell was going on there ??

I think the word you are looking for is 'shambles' - I stuck with it for a while expecting it perhaps to sort itself out: DC seemed to be bravely trying to sort some things out, but that might have just been steering people to C4 cameras for him to interview! Then gave up. But agree - all the way through the commentary was haphazard at best.

Those 3 wheel things should never see the light of day again! Sadly I expect they will feature in todays nations cup. I wonder if they are going to contrive multiple USA teams since there are quite a few locals? Also might need Brazil 1&2! (They have done similar before, not least in UK)
