Very few actually. Since it’s bike racing broadcast at 730 am on the east coast to an audience that falls below that of a test pattern, I usually only notice about 2 ad breaks. I’m still fairly underwhelmed by the quality of most “streaming” services, especially when sent out to my 70 inch. Stuttering, frame drop,…

I must admit, having to actually scroll and read on a motorsports article on jalopnik that wasn’t just a paragraph, an animated gif and 12 pictures of a stupid stuffed animal was kinda jarring.

Fox Sports shows MotoGP live, uses the world feed and world announcers. They show Moto2 and Moto3 on tape delay the same day. What’s wrong with that?

Nascar. The NFL. Pretty much any concert. F1 in the US might as well be the MLS dude.

HAhahahahahahahahaha. What?

Because there’s more people on track than spectators for any other events that run there. MotoGP draws decent, but the WEC and PWC weekends might as well be a closed test session.

So, travel to Austin for a “one day” event, factor in the ridiculous hotel room prices, and then what?

General admission/standing room only were $170 bucks. Bleacher seats started at $299. Good seats started in the mid 400s. What exactly is your definition of “not expensive”?

When the State pays 1-2 million for events that draw 5x the economic impact that an F1 race does, yea, 25 million isn’t going to fly.

The track owners/investors/management built a facility that is only sustainable with a 10 year, 250 million dollar handout, of which they had nothing more than a handshake deal to…

They still haven’t paid their 2015 sanctioning fee, and basically have come out and said they can’t pay in 2016. The track is bankrupt and the management team are hilariously inept. The race is DOA.

They mentioned it on the broadcast.

GP2 TV package generally only shows the “sprint” race, this weekend they went ahead and ran the “endurance” round that runs on Saturday. There’s no live TV deal. As for entry fees, etc, this is no difference than a washout due to severe rains, thunderstorms, other track issues, lack of daylight, etc. Red flag is a red…

Look at the fence behind it. The entire barrier was damaged, not just the tec pros. Basically, cut and reweld a new section of armco and catch fence. Again, support race. They’re not gonna delay the main event.

They do. The Saturday race is an “enduro”, the second race on Sunday is a sprint.

How was it dull? Did you watch Van Doorne on track? Guy can pass anywhere and everywhere. He’s a beast.

Rossi didn’t miss any races. GP2 doesn’t run every F1 weekend.

Hahahahahahaha. GP2 “sponsor”. Good one. The “sponsors” in GP2 are driving the cars.

You might want to do a little research into what a “tec-pro” barrier is before looking stupid. They’re not exactly foam blocks like you’d see at a saturday night short track.

He’s a multi billionaire and HAAS automation units are basically the global standard. Money isn’t a real issue here.

Interesting you mention the GS line, since they killed their entry level single cylinder about 8 years ago to bring out the 800 cc twins, brought it back for 2-3 years later with a china built engine, and then killed it again. They pretty much pulled out of the 6-8k market and are focusing on the 10-12k segment. I…
