Nah mate.

To each their own, old cock.

Personally, I love it.

Motor racing, mountain climbing and bullfighting etc,etc. At least the V8s leave some decisions up to the drivers...... on a good day. Vale F1

Meanwhile Channel 10 have shown their door to long time V8 Supercar supporter, Head of Sport Matt White.

Clearly they won't be looking to get back into televised motorsport any time soon.

they might be getting out of sport altogether. which is bad for your future AFL/NRL/Cricket FTA bidding rights.

Well coercing farkwits into getting laid on a beach is cheaper.

Yup Q - to all our great misfortune, Reality TV is far cheaper to produce than any other form of TV. The TV Execs love it.

I farkin hate all Reality TV. "Reality" is a total misnomer, as it's all heavily scripted.

plenty of z-grade "celebrities" to pick from for some dreck show

Lots of unemployed sports stars. You wouldn't even need to script it. Getting drunk and misbehaving with women is their default position.

For you folk who enjoy car racing, here is an article about NASCAR in the USA and its one black driver. Seems NASCAR has banned Confederate Flags earning the ire of at least some fans. One left a noose in the garage of the one black driver.

Happily the drivers - Bubba Wallace - received a heap of support from fellow drivers.

NASCAR fans are the reddest of rednecks.

Aye. Still it was good to see all the drivers come out and support Wallace.

Indeed.

Funny thing is NASCAR came out of the 'shine running days when the good 'ol boys would use black guys who knew cars and how to drive them fast to move product and take the risks.

Scorching Top 10 Shootout lap by Cam Waters to take pole for tomorrow's Great Race.

Whincup fooked up, losing it in the Chase to fall back to 10th (from 5th).

Always fun if it rains on the Mountain.

A lot of thpse top ten teams will be working all night dialling in their cars. Shootout seemed a bit flat. Mihht have been due to losing those last three minutes of q time last night.

Great race as always, with Shane Van Gisbergen giving Holden the win.

I think I'll sleep through the first 100 laps in future. The fruit bats don't start crashing until then.

Fitting end for Holden.
