They should get a few out the way while the race is stopped.

Worst coverage ever. Lose about 2 laps per ad-break. So 161 laps is now about 90? Every half hour I find out whos leading. And can someone plz take Mark Larkham`s cam-on-a-stick, and throw it into an active volcano before it costs someone a race.

Well on another note. The Ford ads are great. Mustang for 2015 glimpses.

Which add has the fastest lap time?
When the race finishes, the add that spent the most money should get a trophy too.
I would prefer scrolling adds.
For instance, I was looking at the STP banners trackside, made me look'em up on the net. Just saw a Harvey Norman add
I've got Fox, why no Fox channel with less adds?

Have a read of Channel 7 Brisbane's Facebook page. There seems to be a recurring theme in the posts.

What do you think pay for the racing to be on free to air TV, no adds, the race would be on Foxtel.

We are actually lucky we can watch the race on free to air TV.

Leave Bruce McAvaney, I mean Mark Skaife at Channel 7, and send the most informative, unbiased and non-melodramatic commentator ever to exist, Neil Crompton, to Foxtel plz.

The TCM race is only short , 7 laps and half the race was seemed to be lost to adds , if the organisers of this class aren't getting a good exposure it won't survive , sure racers need sponsorship to survive and sponsors demand their exposure but we want to see the race and thE cars in all their glory if it's only a short race then let us damn well see it !!!!!!!!

sevens coverage is woeful.

BTW, not everyone watching is old enough to actually recognise car makes & models in the Masters class - having those up would help enormously, not just a drivers name (who cant be recognised in their racing suits anyway!)

I watched it on motorstv uk as I'm in Ireland at the moment and they hardly had any ad breaks at all, much better to watch then channel 7. The funny thing was that Crompo and Skaife were replaced by another commentator when channel 7 were on an ad break which was interesting.

Well that's how commercial channels make money especially on big events, sure adds are painful but that's life,they have to make money.
I would rather adds than give ABC a billion dollars for their LEFT views. But that's another story.

I was googling the race afterwards and found French commentators... they were really excited about the race ...if you understood them!

I think they were trying to squeeze in the adverts during certain parts to ensure they show the amount of adverts they are probably contracted to show with the advertisers, which would be more targeting car enthusiasts during that time and may pay more for it. And so that they don't have to do it when something really interesting is happening which we would want to see.

What disappointed me was the lack of in-car lap vision with the telemetry on. I think I counted twice when they did it and they weren't full laps.

The Ch7 producers must have thought that Christmas had come early when they stopped the race for 1/2hr............. all that time to whack Ads in
