Will it work??? The format sounds a bit silly, stopping and sprinting to your next car halfway through... And obviously it'll have to comete with F1 for viewership, would make an interesting watch for alternate weekends though http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10836369

Gona be an early rise that morning hope it will be as good or better than the last race so. Such a pity that ITV and UTV will not go digital so people can pause, rewind and record there programs. Then I would watch them channels so much more.

Sky doesn't get ITV or UTV. You can manually add it, but you can't record manually added channels.

There was a thread on Satellite forum a while back about how to make ITV channels recordable. Will have look later for it...

***Edit: Found the thread - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056353483 but unfortunately Sky have copped onto it.

See Post #1 for the instructions on how to add recordable channels. Seems to only work for DRX 890/895 boxes now (Page 164, Post #2446)

Two races, two times that Heidfeld has suffered at the hands of French drivers.

I agree it was a very good and exciting race with lots of action and overtaking and skilled driving too.
Was a nice track too better than the last track they raced on.
Heidfield was unlucky but at least this time was not as bad a crash as last time. Maybe he wil be third time lucky in Uruguay and get to finish or even win the race.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.

All this driver changing is really damaging the sport IMO. Are the teams subject to the same rules as F1? Max 4 drivers per season?

Good to see that JEV has got somewhere to race so quickly even if it ain,t F1. Should be interesting to see how he does in these cars and wahat he makes of them. Can,t believe the next race is almost here. That month went by quickly.

Well, at least they're showing it twice.

Then again, it's ITV4, they've not much else to broadcast besides 70s/80s shows.

Well done to JEV his first time to race in these new Formula E cars and he gets pole position.It must be a big difference driving one of them compared to an F1 car that has an engine noise. Will be interesting now to see how he does in the race thats going to be a bit harder as he will have to manage his battery energy too and not use to much of it. This is the first Formula E race that is being watched much closer by media now that all the oter races have finished up. Am hoping it will be a good race.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.

If Heidfeld had no bad luck, he'd have no luck at all. At least this time the French drivers remained innocent.
