Is Goodwood FOS on TV?

[Tyrewrecker]

No idea what all the complaining is about. Coverage was fine IMO, think PH is just full of moaning old gits these days.

Sky coverage is shocking - they seem to know nothing about the cars, Crofty was embarrassing.
It shows Goodwood as almost a different event.

Please let Henry Hope-Frost commentate.

Croft was hopeless (can't stand him anyway), truly awful stuff, I switched it off and went outside to read a magazine.

Martin Brundle could have been pulled in to front it..

Well - the Sky GFoS coverage was as terrible as ever. Recorded and viewed with much use of fast forward just like last year - can anyone with connections at Sky please point out to them that Keith and Tony on a sofa is not coverage, it is padding. Less of that, more footage next year please....

Absolutely.

Anthony Read will be carrying his cahoonies home in a wheelbarrow!

People seem to have this idea that Reidy's nothing but a stock car driver from his days in the BTCC. He's a lot better than that, the guy's got total commitment in anything he drives. Not bad for a 50-something!

I was thinking the same, would love to see how quick he'd be back in a front running BTCC car, based on today's time I think he'd be giving Plato and Neal a tough time if he was in an equal car.

Totally agree. He just never stood a chance in 2009 when he was in the third RAC BMW because he had to run with extra ballast which stuck him in amongst the crashers.

Watched today's coverage in full now and it was ok. Still too much padding and not enough action, but like Eric said, get the DVD if you want the full story.

Er, Karma? In amongst the crashers?

Looked good to me, especially as it was on the 3d channel.

Maybe Sky don't think their F1 audience demographic is interested in historic racing cars?

I'm starting to think it's the contrary.

Have a look at the schedule for the SSF1 channel this week - an hour long documentary/season review of the 1956 season, 15 minute coverage of the 1950 British GP, and a 40 minute long 1958 re-run of the 1958 British GP. There's also Stirling Moss's 1963 interview with Raymond Baxter in full.

I was keeping my fingers crossed when I signed up that Sky would utilise their huge amount of air time to re run classic and history GPs - quite pleased to see it happening

Been watching the 2007 to 11 British GPs over the last few days, great stuff and i like the fact they left James Allen in on the comms but hated listening to Legard again !!
Off to watch Gfos on SSF1 in a mo.
