Euro Finals Web TV
Discussion
I'm disappointed by the below statement made on Eurodragster
"Keith Bartlett, CEO of Trakbak Racing Ltd and Santa Pod Raceway, has announced that the planned multi-camera high-definition Web TV will not be taking place from this week's FIA European Finals:
Regrettably, the Web TV (live streaming) will not be taking place this weekend for the FIA European Finals event due to TV partners Speedgroup withdrawing from the project. Sadly with the first two rounds of the FIA and UEM Championships being rained out or severely rain-affected - Santa Pod (UK) and Tierp Arena (Sweden) - it didn’t get off to the best start. However, with that said, the plan for Web TV in 2013 is now being clearly laid with all the host tracks looking step this project up to the next level. I am still of the same mind I was at the beginning of this season in that the future of web TV for drag racing will become a huge success. "
Having decided to take a year out of racing due to the arrival of a new member of the family I was delighted when web tv started for all the events this year and have subscribed to them all. I know some people have knocked the coverage and that the weather has played its part in making it hard viewing at times but I thought it was fantastic.
I thought it was not only great for a seasoned race fan but also a good way for people with potential interest to get a view of what's going on. Sponsors must have liked it too.
There have been other threads about it in here which degenerate into arguments of why people want to know viewing figures etc. I don't get this as its important for us all to know how well it's going as I think we can all agree that it's going to be a massive thing for our sport going forward, can we not?
