Thunderbolt Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 ust watching CH7 news, with the first round being won by Will Power for Team Australia last weekend. This week they are at Long Beach. Now I have been watching nearly every champ car round since the early 90's, courtesy of the Channel 10 tv coverage. I believe Channel 7 now has the broadcast rights, however they are presently not showing it at any time. I feel this is an outrage, and is very disappointing to many Champ car and Will Power fans. A few people have discussed it at http://au.messages.yahoo.com/sports/motors...iscussion/3175/ Who else is angry with the decision not to show it?

ctjet Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 That explains why i havent seen it for ages. You'd think with an Aussie winning the last race they'd be busting to show it again ... but no Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164542-no-champ-car-on-tv/#findComment-3051671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiplash Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 oh well i should at least be at the surfers round this year. One of the companies i work for may have their free simulator set up there, its bee really popular over in the US so far.(nothing like some free advertising ) the panoz looks great, with more development it will be a fast car. not to mention F1 stealing ideas like soft tires (red tires) ect, so it looks like i will be stuck watching the 15 second highlights on the news. 2 podiums for Will Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164542-no-champ-car-on-tv/#findComment-3053145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

32vspecII Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 it will be on espn on foxtel if it gets on apparently the champ cars are on the anti syphoning list so there has been issues playing them in aus on foxtel with channel 7 owning the rights IRL is broadcast all the time and to be honest champ is on its last legs now with IRL dominating the us open wheeler market for the last 5 years or so since they split . and one of the best IRL drivers is a kiwi , thats close enough to support him Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164542-no-champ-car-on-tv/#findComment-3054108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr81 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ahh, i may have confused camp car with IRL... ooops. I know I saw some yankee open wheelers on tv the other day. Did they, at any stage, turn right? If so it was probably champ cars. IRL isn't exactly powering along either.

If so it was probably champ cars.IRL isn't exactly powering along either. its pretty popular compared to champ cars just no where near nascar cart has been close to bancrupcy a couple of times in the last few years , i cant remember if they did or not though i think its time to amalamate them together again and there is 4 or 5 road/street courses in the irl championship to be honest with out the indy500 champs got nothing really , us open wheeler racing has always been about indy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164542-no-champ-car-on-tv/#findComment-3056516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen her race. i think its time to amalamate them together again Well financially it would probably make sense, however that would mean that if you don't like ovals (like me) then you would be bored for half the year. As it stands, champ car has the perfect setup, only racing on ovals a couple of times a year. It would be sad to lose the only open wheel turbocharged formula in the world too.
