It's on BT Sport in UK
Are you sure this is still the case or was it just Round #1 they didn`t show for some weird reason??

I couldn`t find the Clipsal 500 and ended up watching the coverage a week later on Motors. Frustrating as I had to wait a week and avoid threads like this until then ! I have BT Sport HD but Motors is just SD which is also a bit naff.

Great to see the Volvo seemingly being reliable and quick again although I expected Moffat being closer to SMc.

You can pay £21.00 & watch all the practices/races live or whenever you've got time, I have to say it's well worth the money plus you can stream it straight to the TV & yes it's in HD.

I already Pay for Sky Sports for the F1 and BT Sport for MotoGP, whilst I want to watch V8 I`m not forking out another £21 on top of what I already do to watch it. I hoped it was on BTSport but I`m unsure why the first race wasn`t shown live and in HD .

Do it Wh00sher, it's a brilliant deal, works out about 50p per race, plus you get all practice sessions, qualifying and top ten shootouts, I'd pay it just to watch the Bathurst round

I hear you I'm in the same boat but don't have to pay for Sky Sports as the F1 channel came free with my HD package, as has already been said you get it in full HD plus all the practice sessions & the junior Dunlop Series rounds as well as inside V8 supercars which is very informative & a bit of a laugh to watch. I think Motors will show it as delayed live at the weekends.

Obviously not the F1 round as that's forbidden to viewers here what a decent engine sounds like tearing round the circuit.

It was on BT sports in HD as live and there was highlights also. I have't watched them as yet mind, haven't had the time

Ominous, those triple eight cars look like they'll be the ones to beat this year.

You're not wrong, they're in a class of their own right now, Shane Van Gisbergen not mucking around in stamping his authority either, 3 wins and a 2nd over the weekend

11 days until the next meeting, Tasmania, tiny 1.5 mile track with two decent straights and a tricky section in between, usually produces great racing

They can't show the Melbourne races as Bernie doesn't want the world to see V8's tearing round sounding good, but keep an eye on youtube & they'll be on there in a few days.

Nice one I laughed as soon as I saw it, great to see one series has a sense of humour.

It now looks like GRM will get the Cyan engines next season.

On another note what an absolutely cracking weekend of racing, I'm glad Frosty got the win.
