Can anyone tell me when Motors TV are planning on showing the Hamilton Round? I cant find listings on their website as Motors TV still list 2011 drivers and they are still running the Taz reply even after Hamilton has been raced. Any help would be appreciated?!?!?!

This may get moved to TV but I suppose fits in both.

Nah Saturday is Taz again. Ive been through the planner. Seems like they only bought the rights to one race and will show that 20 times. Its been on atleast 6 times since it was raced.

Trying to search the internet without seeing the race resuts is damn difficult too......

I just want to watch the Hamilton Round :-(

It cant be that hard to show the damn race surely? Why do they keep showing Taz. Other than the Downes off there really wasnt much to talk about.

Yeah its supposed to be according to the times they list but its not. There is some GT series on at 13.50 running for a while. There is lots of NASCAR Nationwide showing but ive gone through every day for a week and its not on. This is rediculous. Ah well another week of waiting I suppose. Im not happy. I dont like a lot and they make it so damn difficult.

I tried emailing them to ask but the contact system does not recognise anything in the message field for some reason. On trying to send it errors stating nothing was written........ perhaps they dont want to be contacted?!?!?!

So that will put them 2 races behind in their coverage. Doesnt look good. Can only assume with this and the out of date website that they are no longer showing it?!?!?!?!?!

Perhaps its time we all made a comment to them on their contacts (if it works) and let them know we will boycott unless they actually sort themselves out?!?!

Should fans really have to trawl through hours of TV flicking to find a race disguised as a lesser known series?
V8's is the flagship and they cant even list the damn thing. They annoy me beyond belief!!

Perhaps if they spent more time on their listings and less on twitter there wouldnt be this issue!

Ok just watched round 4. Can someone please please please explain WTF happened with Lowndes and Van Gis?

They tried to explain but I still didnt understand how they could go from 4/5 to 15/16 like that despite being first in?!?!?!?!

Surely if they had done that then the simple solution is allow them to pass behind the safety car to their original positions? That would be simple and easily passed through the field via their radios?!?!?!?! I still cant quite understand how they help the wrong car and those 2 were the only 2 to suffer?????

Starting the think Lowndes is the joker of the pack with Van Gis and his bad luck charm. Hes having the most unlucky start to a season I can remember watching and VG always seems to be in the vacinity when it goes wrong.
