Bottom post of the previous page:

Before I flip my lid........is it my imagination or are Sky in the UK showing a REPEAT of the Cricket instead of showing the Baltimore race Live?

I mean there must be some mistake right?!?!?! My on-screen TV guild must surely be faulty, Sky can't be that moronic right?

Or is the race in Baltimore starting far later local time for some reason?

It might be on the red button somewhere, they sometimes do that.
The race coverage starts 2pm (7pm uk time) on NBC with green flag scheduled at 2.30pm (7.30pm uk).

So yeah, looks like Sky are screwing UK viewers again, clock that up as another reason for not giving those robbing bastards a penny ;)

Cheers for the info :thumbsup:

Sadly I can't see any mention of it being on red button on their website :annoyed:

I pay them something like £75 a month yeah just for TV. I pay legitimately to watch this stuff when I could watch illegal streams like other people.

Kind of annoying when the illegal product is superior (Live) to the legitimate paid product. Similar to the situation where pirated music, movies and computer games are actually better than the legit products that I buy due to all the intrusive DRM.

Pretty ridiculous situation all round. Fuming isn't the word. Guess that means I have to record it and then resist the urge to read motorsport websites all day in work tomorrow.

This race has been a lol a minute. I do like this track but the reaction speed of the marshalls hasn't been good.

It seems better than F1 though somehow...

I remember Singapore 2010 having a similar accident involving Bruno Senna.

Probably, but hopefully nobody will get killed in the "World Championship" this time.

Indycar never ceases to amaze me, they have a funny habit of pulling a white rabbit from the hat and producing great racing even when it appears to not be the case, they really need to capitalise on this as these races are consistently far better than either F1 or NASCAR.

I agree. Yeah, they make mistakes, they hit the wall, some of the incidents are quite silly, but it seems more 'grown up' than F1.
