No motorsport calendar on the BBC (ceefax)

[colin m]

Now the BBC has dropped its motorsport calendar, does anyone know of a good website that provides dates for national race/rallies ?
Basically Im after something just like the BBC used to do!!

Thanks,

Supports my theory that the BBC is gradually leaving motorsport behind.

Too many women in high places

Remove the word "motor" and you would be nearer the mark!

Agree.

No airshows either (on any channels).

How else do we account for all the girlie, touchie, feelie. emotive, gardenny, housey programmes that now infest telly.

(I'm not talking about cable or satellite here, by the way, but mainstream terrestrial TV).

I forgot about the airshows! Come back Raymond Baxter!

I've heard that the Government is concerned that digital take-up is lagging way behind their targets and are keen to get us all signed up by 2008 IIRC. As part of this process, the Beeb is (being forced to!) dumbing down it's main terrestrial channels in favour of freeview and thus, by default, all the other channels will benefit too!

Some events listed at www.pistonheads.com/calendar but by no means comprehensive...
