V8 Supercars 2023 - Gen 3

[GlobalRacer]

Having watched the Erebus fly on the wall documentary I'm surprised that they have any staff left at all with the way a certain member of the team behaves. It was like watching an 80's throwback.

Roland Dane’s piece on Speedcafe about the situation was pretty on point imho.

Yeah, Roland might be a miserable old b@stard but he knows his stuff and is usually spot in with his opinions.

Your comment got me curious so added it to the turbo trainer YouTube list. Episode 4 in particular was illuminating.

Exactly like you said, dinosaur behaviour. I like the bit where he doesn’t give a st about social media opinions, gets some read out to him with all of them calling him out, immediately starts trying to politician, “I never said someone was getting fired, I said someone’s not going to be here.”

Anyone renewed their YouTube superview subscription?

I was going to, but it only shows the option to continue last year's subscription.

[GlobalRacer]

Mine just rolls on each month. I've never been given a renew option.

I cancel at the end of the season. No point paying through the winter.

I’ve decided not to renew this year as last year was a major disappointment for me. And now with SVG and Brodie gone, no new tyres for this year and more downforce, I’m not confident the racing is going to be any better this year. First year since 2010 I won’t be watching it.

Is for me as I watch the main races when they are broadcast and then, when I have more time, I watch all the testing, quali and support race stuff in the Winter.

I've always got Superview through the Supercars website, but they've revamped it for this year and whacked the price up from A$60 to A$99. Still only £4 and a bit a month I guess

Is the Youtube coverage the same?

I was with SuperView from the start but I switched to YouTube a couple of years ago as they were so slow loading up the videos onto SuperView at the end of the coverage so if you didn't watch live you had to wait for hours or sometimes days.

With YouTube it's there instantly and it's much easier to stream to other devices, fast forward etc.

It's more expensive on YouTube but it's a much better experience IMO.

So Brodie is now back driving for Erebus! Despite saying his health was good in February, he’s now saying he needed a break for his health.

What a bizarre situation.

[GlobalRacer]

It all smells very badly. Major sponsors etc leaving doesn't tie up with it being a health issue and nothing else. Especially with more than one ex-sponsor coming out and saying otherwise.

[Dan BSCS]

I think basically, he’s just capitulated and gone back to them rather than sit out the entire season as they wouldn’t let him race elsewhere. Must be an awful atmosphere though.
