The 2 Dutch drivers have registered as UK drivers for 2 seasons now and do a lot of their outings in GB now.

Hard to believe Bruce is still using Video Hub and not The Pits to live stream this event. Surely this must be Video Hubs final chance of getting it done right.

Video Hub are in there every meeting though doing the big screen, not just for the biggest show of the summer. So while I hear what you're saying, and most will agree with you, it's really just another discussion on a discussion board that will never progress any further than that no matter how good the idea might be.

Things like that are holding speedway new zealand back. When your best and biggest reach streaming provider can't get the biggest events this country has. Competition is healthy. Can speedway new zealand board get envoled on this issue and say right we are selling the broadcasting rights to the pits TV for any speedway championship they want to stream. (Obviously palmy teams and auckland teams fall outside this as they are private promotion) |

Agree - the standard has been set well and truly by the Pits media and introduced a level of professionalism to speedway that has been missing.
I look forward to Video hub bringing a top notch stream.
I'm also looking forward to the time at teams racing when the race controller moves the cars forward or back via the one way transmitter aka 240's. It was a fascinating addition for us live streamers and it saves a heck of a lot of time trying to get drivers back and forth etc. It also pings the drivers who consistently creep forward ever so slightly once the reds are activated having their name consistently mentioned to "move back..."

No radios used in teams racing, something about safety of ears with the hits |

Yes I know things can change, but at the moment the long range forecast is looking sound.  MetService forecast looking very average now, but the other 2 I’ve looked at seem fine. I need to stop looking Metservice forecast has got better. Now showing nothing more than very occassional shower Saturday and Sunday. :-) |

Where's the competition in that? And who else would invest in equipment to do a suitable job when all they're going to be able to pick up are the crumbs? And as you say, that would exclude (not only) Palmy Teams and Auckland Teams, but also the Huntly Superstock Teams event and the World 240's, two events The Pits currently do cover. They might not have the time to do under your system........ You might also have to consider who's got a financial finger in the Video-Hub pie as well. Things are never as back & white as you make them seem....... Barry B |

I think VideoHub have improved from a few years ago, but then so has The Pits, arguably at a greater rate than VideoHub has which is where the problem lies. It's an expensive game however, and the fickle weather has made life even more difficult for all streaming companies this Summer", with The Pits especially hard hit so far. Hopefully the sun, when it eventually does reappear, will hang around continuously for the next few months. Barry B |

Yes there maybe a promoter who has his fingers in the pies who wouldn't be happy with that outcome. I can think of a few bit if you want the titles this is what your gonna have to do. As far as I can see it's snz that own the rights to those titles. And we know in sport money comes from broad cast deals and sponsorship because of the board cast deals. |

Hardly a Great Britian team when only 60% of them are British! Perhaps they should be renamed the EU Lions? I'm unsure of the Busters.but every other team but three have what you deem to be bring ins. 3 team team champs is not an event I care to much for. YES. Not every driver is willing to put thier car and physical body on the line. Some tracks have drivers lining up, when you dont get selected for the team why not offer yourself out to those tracks who otherwise would not be able to enter ateam under todays tight financial market. 1. it gives us more tracks enetered 2. more drivers that want to race actually get to go out there and race. its not bringing in ringers unless you have turned your own drivers down in favour of those other drivers. but those tracks havent done that to my knowledge limited that it is admitedly. ;-) |

Im sorry but why do people insist onthe pits being so much better, ive watched both and genereally i have found that with the pits, ive watched thelead car go round and round, if it wasnt for the commentators i wouldnt even know there was action happending on the track. then we get the flag and your enjoying watching your car do victory and they go to some stupid interview in the pits. i was also missing half the statistics. with video hub, they caught most of the action as the cameras moved around, not just followed, you missed some as they couldnt predict everything. i just cant figure out how everyone just likes watching that lead car so much...... |

I still cant figure out why people think the pits are the best, so far ive been disappointed with thier actual coverage, nothing to do with the stream, that was stable but they just followed the lead car, missing all the action, taking so long to change cameras you missed everything, everyone sayd they are so much better but i see so much more action live on track with the hub!!!!! |
