View Full Version : Next Sunday Morning - Difficult Decision
Which one to watch? Istanbul or Zolder? I'll probably be switching back and fro. Don't see any repeats later in the day, at least in Canada. Rats.

Istanbul. It will probably be more exciting.
CC made my decision for me when they reported the winner of the F1 race a few weeks ago (which had not yet been aired).
F1 gets first priority, always.

F1 then ChampCar. CC lost my live viewership against anything during Mont-Tremblant.
I'll be watching the Champ car race once I wake up. F1 not at all.

CC on RD and F1 on TV. And logged into the OC chat.

F1 has definitely taken over as my main racing interest.

I can't believe I'm beating nrc to the punch by suggesting you DVR one while watching the other.

Good call. But I wouldn't actually recommend using DVR space for F1. Just check the results when you wake up.

I thought that was a given and they were both airing at the same time (live).

Seeing as how both races are being shown live, the CCWS guys would be hard pressed to tell you who won unless they were watching the F1 race while they did commentary on the CCWS race.
5 years ago, it'd be CC w/o a doubt, but personally F1 & MotoGP take far more priority these days. That is until 2 weeks from now, then sports day becomes Saturday :)

(:eek: BIG demo) Slid off course and almost collected a lamp post!:rofl: He thinks the Dutch fans will turn out big at Assen and be pleased by the new champcars. I say give him the call, even though he may not need it.;)

This is true, but I have to stick to my promise to make CC 2nd to F1 after they pulled that crap. Until then, it would've been CC live and F1 after.
Maybe I'll watch F1 and CC during the F1 commercials...

Istanbul of course. But I really want to see the Zolder race somehow too.
WTF are they doing, going to Europe and racing opposite F1? :shakehead It's just one thing after another with these clowns.

No doubt that CCWS and F1 will be on at the same time here as well, so I'll set both VCR's ( yes, VCR's) and go to bed. :)

F1 @ 10:30 Sunday night. No listing for CC yet. Prolly @ midnight:30 Monday night. :rolleyes:
I`ll probably watch F1 while flipping over during commercials. My DVR is not equipped to record while watching another channel..it`s a 5 year old DishNet box. A few years ago I would have been pissed about that. :\

The U.S. listings show Champ Car from 1:00-3:00 on ESPN-CL.

F1 first and foremost. If there is a conflict, I will DVR the Champcar race and watch it Monday morning before work.
I'll record the Champ Car race and try to wake up in time for F1. If I oversleep, at least I know it'll be replayed in its entirety.
We need to invite one of those Hollanders over here to translate for us and give us the "what's going on in Dutchland" goss. :gomer:

And what's even better is that the Champcar Inner Circle e-newsletter I received this morning has the TV time of the race as 8pm.
Can someone please get these people a proofreader?
Easy! ChampCar 1st of course. F1 on replay later, (maybe).
I'm sure none of those 5,000,000,000 in Rotterdam came out to see the Renault F1 car or Christijan Albers in the Spyker F1.

Considering I don't get ESPN-Classic, I will be watching F1 later on the TIVO. And then will watch CC on Race Director some other time, since that is the only way I can see it.
I never watch a race live, you can't FF through all the comercials that way (and sometimes parts of a boring race). In fact, I barely watch anything live anymore.
You should get one of these, so you can change back and forth.

Hmm now I realize I have this problem. My digital cable is one channel only, no tivo here and the Classic isn't on regular cable. It's no contest. F1 beats any other series any time any day. This also means I don't have to watch a race at Zolder and think of Gilles Villenueve's accident every lap. I still would have liked to have watched the Champ Car race. There's never any repeats right?

I've always put F1 first, but I'm a little surprised so many others do too.
The F1 season has been really something, the emergence of Hamilton and the ensuing rivalry with Alonso especially... gripping stuff, there's a lot on the line at every race. Turkey is a kick-ass track, too.
I would love to watch ChampCar, but they decided to schedule a European race against F1... who on this planet thought that was a good idea?? :shakehead I hope I still get a chance to see it, going to attempt to tape it or something.

They're racing in Europe. What do you want them to do? Change the start time of the race to be earlier or later? Air a tape delayed broadcast? Sheesh. They're doing right by their fans. If I wasn't sticking by my F1 over CC protest I'd really appreciate that more and watch the CC race live.

There is the possibility that the local tv production people that ccws has hired might actually be experienced which would be a pleasant change. Zolder looks to be gorgeous. I might listen to/watch the CCWS on the RD international feed with the tv muted and dvr the F1. Or since the dvr will be set to record both and the coverages start at 5:30 and 6:00 AM I might just sleep in...

Pretty straight forward. F1 is at 6:30am, so I'm watching it live, roll tape at 7am for Champcar. It took four pages for some of you to figure that out? ;) :tony:

True. It's a pity that Champ Car has such a short field b/c the championship hunt there is almost as good as F1.
I think that maybe the fact that there is no F1 replay later on Sunday is a factor. At gunpoint, I'd opt for F1. But I'm looking forward to both races.

both at same time. don;t think i missed much on either race. Zzzzzzz for most of Istanbul, but a few brief goodies on CCWS.
Turkey was a turkey. Zolder had moments...Graham had a great run and Bruno/Coyne had me tearing...almost
Worst camera work ever though for a CCWS race. A new low. I pooped into F1 a couple times when CC was at commercial.

Race Director sucked as well. The camera selections didn't match. Program was in car and in car was program. The video was really dark. The audio feed kept cutting in and out. During commercials they left the microphones on so I could hear background babbling by the announcers. There was no driver - pit radio available.

I ended up watching F1 and poking in on ChampCar on commercials, then watched the last 15 mins or so of ChampCar after F1 was done.
Worked out OK, as usual F1 got less interesting at the finish while ChampCar had a FCY near the end to make the finish exciting. :)
