Yet to be confirmed but it might be CromptonStopped watching when all the new manufacturers came in. Thought seven covered it well, who will be commentating for Fox Sports?

Seems to be something about you can choose in-car camera views by pressing the red buttonbe very interesting to see what innovations fox bring to the table. commercial free should be good
Everyone only watches Bathurst anyway. Look at this board. The Bathurst threads are longer than the season long threads.
Alright. So this thread is now 17 posts longer, when the Bathurst thread hasn't had a post since the week after the race, and this thread benefitting from having 2015 V8SC talk in it. The Bathurst thread was longer than this one when it finally died off. Ummmm my arse.
From the old thread by imadodgyumpire :
I'd like to take an interest in more than Bathurst but splitting the other rounds into multiple races (and multiple days) absolutely kills it for me. Feels like the equivalent of watching 4 AFL games but with each one only lasting 30 minutes.
I don't know if it's done to stretch things out for TV and the raceway proprietors but it absolutely sucks. NASCAR and Formula One have it right.
Another thing that could help is move the season so it includes all of summer when people aren't watching the AFL and rugby league.
Not the raceway proprietors, but the series proprietors. Otherwise you are bang on. V8SC/ATCC has had a history of multiple race meetings, like f1/Nascar has with long, single races. So you might have to accept that part.I'd like to take an interest in more than Bathurst but splitting the other rounds into multiple races (and multiple days) absolutely kills it for me.

A lot of the season is already in the footy off-season, and has made little difference. The idea has already been done by other sports/comps. The series would now barely get much more attention with all the cricket going on.Another thing that could help is move the season so it includes all of summer when people aren't watching the AFL and rugby league.

Pretty sure they tried that in the early 2000s, maybe 2003 and 2004. From memory they had a single 100 lap race at Winton and a couple of other single race rounds. Didn't succeed
