Is hate too strong a word? Because I'm beginning to hate Dorna.
- The joke that was the 2 year experiment in CRT
- Giving the UK rights to BT Sport. And probably destroying the Eurosport commentary team in the process. While excluding a whole range of potential fans which may even include Virgin cable which is half of the pay per view/subscription audience.
- And now beginning to destroy WSB in the guise of trying to save it.
As for giving the rights to BT, they did not give them away, they sold them. €4.5 million per year.
Yes, it's looking like BT are wanting 2 ex racers for their comms team, so that Stavros & Hewen then. Pit lane will no doubt be Azi & Matt. All 4 of these have been praising BT on Twitter too.
I have Virgin Media but even if I could get BT I would not. I'll do what I always do when I'm away from ES, I'll watch on an illegal feed. I need to brush up on my Spanish anyway!
The latest money saving idea will not make a scrap of difference. Especially to the factory teams. Nothing.
Hey-ho, sh*t's all f*cked up as usual.
[10:29] Yay! Live superstock!
CTRL-C BSB, CTRL-V WSB is all they need to do. And get the circuit license fee back to a sensible amount so we can have a round at Brands Hatch and one day tickets for less than 50 quid.
I can't see them getting the same audience as they do now.
The whole issue of the relationship between the manufacturers and the organisers in WSB is complex. It wasn't that long ago that the Japanese all went off in a huff after the Flamminis upset them. Word was it was Honda pushing for limited engines in MotoGP. It wouldn't surprise me if it's Honda having a go at Aprilia by pushing for limited engines in WSB.
ps. re Portimao race 1. That was good!
" You'd hope Dorna would make a decision on what was best for the sport and not just the highest bid."
haha haha ! No chance my friend.
This is Dorna mate, they dont give a monkey's ass to what the fans want. They have share holders who want big fat bonuses every year.
The fans come a very distance last when it comes to what Dorna want.
