Are they still operating under the 1Malaysia name? I'd thought that would have been dropped once Proton ditched them?

I wish they would just invest in not broadcasting sub SD quality.

Freesat please

Purely AFAIK until I check in a few minutes, but I thought it was a free to air channel these days? Perhaps only on Sky though? Ooh Bathurst 1000 this weekend? Sweet!

Will return to this thread with the answer.

I don't get a few channels which are FTA but are on Sky such as ITV4 HD (SD bitrate is dire), Motors, Dave, etc. A bit annoying.

Yay! Bathurst!

That said the quality was better last year watching via an Australian guy who streams at 1.5Mbps than Motors TV.

Skeeter · 7 Oct 2014 at 21:30

Rubbing your eyes with vaceline and looking at the TV through a used condom would be clearer than watching Motors TV.

Don't like.

I didn't realise the Etch-a-sketch was a formidable tool in modern track design

The_Abyss · 7 Oct 2014 at 22:52

Wow - that's truly terrible. Not even any elevation changes to save it.

I can barely contain my indifference.

So, 90 left, 90 left, 90 left, 90 right, 90 left, 90 right, 100 right, ***** chicane, 90 left, long easy left, 90 left, 90 left, wiggle back to SF.

Won't happen. It's another 'New Jersey' which Bernie can use to extort more money from the circuit owners on the current calendar.

It's like a poor mans Phoenix, but without Alesi.

Still, at least we have Pirelli.

It is that time of year again, the frosting is going up to hide race bays from sight.
Love it!
