Although I haven't had problem this weekend
Strange, i didn't notice any issues and was on a projector so blown up pretty big.Foxtel.
It has now fixed itself.
As it had been poor for about 2 hours I thought it was just the way it was coming out of NZ.
I couldn’t even read the “tree” at one stage.
AFL and NRL channels were all good at the time, was only the motor racing channel.Strange, i didn't notice any issues and was on a projector so blown up pretty big.
HD is now included with the new pricing structure, like it should always have been.
It's dying... both from a spectator and driver perspective. The drivers now see it as a stepping stone, on their way to NASCAR or Indycar. The spectators have lost interest since the end of the Commodore/Falcon era, given that they can't relate to the cars being raced on the track.Doesn't seem like there's much interest in the category anymore...
Going hybrid/electric would absolutely kill off the category - although as you say, it's going that way anyway.It's dying... both from a spectator and driver perspective.

Supercars management have NFI what they're going to do with the category either, given that they're still insisting that Gen4 won't be hybrid (let alone fully electric). They're making decisions which lead to the category more irrelevant with every passing year.
At least with Hybrid they still have a big engine roar. F1 is a hybrid category...Going hybrid/electric would absolutely kill off the category - although as you say, it's going that way anyway.
It's been mismanaged for well over a decade and the decline really shouldn't surprise many.
Yes it is and yet everyone that follows the F1 pines for the days of the V8/V12 engine. Sounded a million times better.At least with Hybrid they still have a big engine roar. F1 is a hybrid category...
I don't think the technology is there yet to go fully electric, particularly when it comes to the enduro races. Current battery technology for running that long would be prohibitively heavy. They would need to look at drop in/out replacement batteries. Yes, Formula E exists, but those cars are much lighter than a Supercar, and their races are similar in length to the Supercars' sprint rounds.
How the audience would react to racing without the V8 roar is another unknown. I watched a Formula E race a couple of years ago, and it was boring as batshit, with almost no overtaking.
They definitely sounded better in the V8/V12 era, but they're still a very attractive proposition in the current hybrid era. Thanks to Drive to Survive, and Liberty Media's management of the category, F1 is now more popular than it has ever been before.Yes it is and yet everyone that follows the F1 pines for the days of the V8/V12 engine.

Which begs the question what future any category of motorsport has in Australia? Like it or not, the days of the Internal Combustion Engine are rapidly coming to an end.I'd be staggered if electric racing ever took off over here, even if they could do it. I just don't think there's the interest in it to make it genuinely viable.
It is but I think a lot of interest from Drive to Survive has died off with how uncompetitive it's been in recent seasons. Add to this the knocking back of Andretti and no American driver worth following and I think it's lost a lot of the interest it drummed up.They definitely sounded better in the V8/V12 era, but they're still a very attractive proposition in the current hybrid era.
