HAHAHAHAHA!

Paul Morris is a lucky man. Probably wans't as bad as it loked, but still very ugly incident. I think the spectators are also lucky the car didn't launch through the second fence.

Good old Holden on top again!

Piss-poor effort by Channel 7. I was worried at the beginning of the year about what sort of coverage we would get and so far they haven't disappointed. Too many ads during Clipsal, poor graphics and stats and now the race cut short to suit the broadcasters "other commitments" (what the?) If they can't cope, why take it from Ten in the first place.

They bought the rights to the Champ Cars as well, and are not showing them at all until the Gold Coast Indy race later in the year. The first time an Aussie wins a CART race and it happens to be on the first race not shown on Aussie TV for about 20 years.

Channel 7 is a disgraceful excuse for a sports broadcaster.

At the time, I wasn't aware that the time determined finish on Sunday was because they had to switch back to the footy.

Their footy coverage is poo. It doesn't say much when Channel 10 (Robert Walls excluded) is better!

Channel 7 made an official comment that they didn't ask the V8s to cut the race short and that it was a decision by the people who run the race as there is a time limit at every race meeting supposedly.
