Looking forward to this race!

Hopefully Wheels returns or some ITV stream works nice for me as it did in the Italian race, or i'll have to download it from RU or the fish.

Sabara rocks.
Heres to a Ferrari 1-2

yeah

Maybe Webber will be reimbursed for last year.

Fuji needs to be bulldozed!

I hope it will be as awesome as 2007. For this race i want it to be exciting, Massa Win, and hamilton DNF.

It propably will be. Last year they did a very poor job.
Just a few numbers that demonstrate the difference between FujiTV and FOM:
FOM usually uses 26 track cameras + 4 small high definition finger cameras (mounted on walls, bridges etc) whilst FujiTV used a record numer of 16 (!) track cameras in 2007. Says it all I think...

Can I say that I honestly did not notice anything wrong with last years coverage.

Great, hopefully Nakajima will be on tv quite often

Well they missed the 2 key moments of the race: Alonso's crash (we just got a poor onboard view) and the collsion between Webber and Vettel (no footage at all).
For FujiTV standards the 2007 coverage wasn't bad but they were miles away from the FOM coverage we have seen all year.

We later got chance to view Webber's and Vettel's onboards.

1 week later after FOM revealed this...

No more TV globo for Brazil? That would be great.

For the Aussies:

I think I'll be catching the SD telecast to watch Bafurst.

The only reason we got to see the Vettel Onboard at that time was because the FIA launced the investigation into Hamilton's driving based on the Amateur video posted on YouTube. After the FIA launced the investigation FOM released the OnBoard to show people exactly what was been investigated & what role Hamilton may have played in that collision.

Had it not been for the investigation we may never have seen any footage of the collision untill the end of year review DVD.


As I said a week ago the problem with the FujiTV coverage isn't necisarily the directing, while not upto FOM standards the FujiTV director didn't do that bad a job last year. The problem is they don't take enough Trackside camera's, its 1 camera per corner so if that camera misses something unless there's an OnBoard which they have access to we won't see the incident.

If FujiTV were to do what FOM do & have each corner covered by at least 2 camera's there coverage wouldn't be too bad.


Also as Mattzel already said, Brazil will be covered by FOM this year, someone on DigitalSpy got confirmation of that over the weekend from an FOM employee.

Just tested. It seems to be somewhat back, I got sound and picture was like 3 frames per minute.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Why has the thread starter changed?

Abuse of power

Seems like it will be wet again, I am hoping to see what Fuji can offer with dry conditions.
