I'd rather watch it on BT sport as the picture quality is far better. But I would watch it on my phone if I had to, love the supercars.

As of 2 days ago Motors TV has had a slight name change, and as part of the new branding they're also going to be showing stuff in HD. So I'd expect V8SC's to be one of those as the feed is actually HD anyway.

Thanks for this. Really hope it's in HD, as I'll be having to wait to watch it, will not be watching motorsTV poor stream in SD ever again.

I'll be watching via the superview.
What is every one hoping/expecting from the season?Personally hoping for a 3/4 way fight
for the championship with Whincup coming out on top.

I'm hoping for Ford to come back at Holden as well as enjoy watching JW & SV battles get more intense as the season unfolds.

Motors TV is now Motorsport.tv

I have to say the Superview is worth the money.

I've got BT Sport so a bit disappointed they're not showing it this year,But looking forward to Superview.

It'll be interesting to see if DJR's testing pace can be turned into genuine front of the grid positions, only a few hours to wait.

It should be from what Ryan told me at Bathurst.

If the channel formerly known as Motors are showing coverage in HD this year then Superview isn't worth it imo, the only thing you won't see is the qualifying sessions and some interview gubbins.

I don't think they're showing every race live most will be the following weekend.

Told ya! Haven't watched it yet to know how the cars' pace were on the different compounds. DJR had issues on that last season but redesigned suspension to help.

I'm not so sure the DJR car seemed to have a fair bit of understeer in it which doesn't bode well for the tighter circuits.

The Redbulls braking performance is mighty to be so far back & to still be able to get it pulled up is ominous, that's something all the other teams will have to work on.

16 year old Alex Rullo just looked a bit out of his depth, unlike Simone who impressed me with her pace.

GRM did okay but I'd have expected a bit more from them, Prodrives Fords still seem to have that very finite setup window, Nissan look like true top 10 contenders, Erebus seem to have built a decent chassis for Dave Reynolds.

A special shout for Cam Waters who was steady & got his just desserts, he was my driver of the day.

Also I think JW got away with one today it was a close call but for me I think he didn't get there.

Was a good race though wasn't it? Whoever writes the regs always gets it spot on. So close.

SVG was mega.

Well for some reason I'm wide awake, so a bit of Aussie Supercars it is! Anyone else up at this silly hour?

Shame the picture was like this for the whole race, with seemingly no attempt to fix it!

It's repeated about 2pm. Hopefully the picture will be fixed.
