[FourWheelDrift]

Looks like Camier's quickly getting the hang of the Honda. Within 1s of Rea and 0.1 off Davies.

Been a few years since I last followed any of the racing.
Does anyone actually watch WSB any more?
Only a few years ago it seemed like it was dying on its feet.
Serious question, not trolling.

Serious answer I do. And enjoy it probably watch more now Moto GP is pay to view ( yes So is WSB but I have Eurosport)

I try to watch WSBK as much as I can, but TV coverage sometimes is lacking.

I watch it if it's on and there's no BSB or MGP. It's not the most exciting, but it's bike racing on the TV if the two better series' aren't showing that day

I watch it when I can, glad to see Camier back in from the wilderness, looked for a while like his ship had sailed but he is now in a position where he can shine, he should be up there mixing it in the top 4-6 regularly, he has the talent.

I do find it hard to watch, usually it's a procession with Rea long gone. For me, it's a question of whether the new engine in the R1 can help them challenge the Kawasaki's. Camier has always been quick testing. Not sure the Honda will buy him much.

Good to see the V4 Dancing Donkey is already competitive at National level, looking at yesterdays times vs BSB etc. Not that you can really tell at this stage.

I wonder if bookmakers have paid out on Rea winning the 2018 season, utterly boring and predictable now.

Can't wait for Moto GP (highlights still on Channel 5 this year) and BSB season to start though.

If you are looking to change mobile phone contracts then EE offered me free access to BT sports when I signed up, only on "mobile devices", still works well on a big ipad.
