Race of Champions starts in a few minutes on Sky Sports Xtra, ch 404 on Sky no idea on Cable.

If you have neither then the event is being streamed live online at www.autosport.com, starts a bit later though at 1.50pm

These arbarths suck

 

[ZBOYD]

pmsl Edwards screwed the pooch there.

TV coverage is pretty poor. There's little communication between the commentators and the interviewers who keep talking over eachother. And a lot of the shots seem to be suited to a widescreen TV, the cars keep disappearing from my screen!

 

[ZBOYD]

That's Sky for you (you don't count, the money does). But then I have a widescreen TV its not as if they are rare these days.

Germany won the Nations Cup from Scandinavia (both British teams made it to the semis) and Sebastian Loeb narrowly won the ROC from DC. JP went out to Andy Priaulx in the first round of the ROC.

It was so cold there that I had to leave after the Nations Cup - my two boys where shaking and turn blue. But I was very impressed how DC parked it in the wall after the bridge. Right in front of me - well funny!

DC didn't have a great day, stuffing two XBows and his F1 car into the barriers

I was out of my seat cheering for him to beat Loeb in the ROC final, though - it would have been a nice way to finish his year.

It did look a smidge cold - maybe that's why there weren't more people there?

 

[wisejason]

I was suprise by how many people where drifting out early - admittidly most had a child in tow...

 

[lm_gauci]

I went and decided to brave out the cold until the end, i thought it might have been abit warmer being quite enclosed.

Was impressed with Andy Priaulx, seemed to have got to grips with the Stobart Ford very well. Shame DC didnt win in the final, i'd rather Loeb win than Schumacher though, lol.

Overall it was a good day out though, definately going back next year. I think i might take a nice flask and blanket next year though.

Was another good ROC I had a feeling Seb would do it due to how well he has raced in everything this year
