I’ve just been scanning the TV listings for looking for coverage of the Swedish round of the WRC and I don’t seem to be able to find any.

Have ITV given up showing it completely now?

Tomorrow 6pm on ITV4. Don't know how good the coverage will be tho as I didn't know that Monte was shown on there so completely missed it last month.

Alan Gow predicted this week in Autosport that within a few years there will be NO motor racing coverage on terrestrial TV apart from F1 and Moto GP.

Although with the digital switchover that might not be a big problem

It will be for those who won't be able to switch over until 2012.

Watching the drivers speeding through the snow and then thinking about how I drove in the snow on Thursday/Friday, just does not compare...lol

It was good to see the Eurosport coverage at a reasonable hour over the weekend (although I watched ITV4 earlier).

What is going wrong with Petter? I am getting bored being a Subaru supporter.

I think Petter Solberg isn't half the driver he used to be. I don't think he's been the same since that crash in Germany in 2004. I don't think Petter & Phil get on well with each other now. Chris Atkinson seems to be the better of the team drivers. My money's on Marcus Gronholm now.

Note: If you spell SUBARU backwards it reads: U R A BUS!

The above note was a piece of useless information.

My brothers have just got back from Sweden, lucky gits. They were staying in the same hotel as Marcus Gronholm.

It's a joke, absolutely criminal their preference is two fat tw*** running round a green table. Sort it out Eurosport and put proper sport on not pub games. OR AT LEST DONT LET US WAIT UP ALL NIGHT
