having read these articles about goodwood and overtaking it has got me wanting to watch some season reviews over the weekend, while not doing the july 4th thing. Only i can’t work out what seasons to watch from 1975 to say 2006.

can anyone suggest some years for me please?

Wasn’t that the old F1 Digital+?

It was a good idea, just came out a bit too early hear. Hardly anyone had heard of digital TV back then. If they brought it out now I’m sure it would do much better.

Pfft. So they took their own ‘HD’ (what sort of HD ?) camcorder to the track and stood around for a bit. Not really a big deal.

LG HDTV is a joke. The price is quiet low for sure, but the quality isn’t the best we can find.
I’m from France too, and this ad is stupid, how can they show us the quality of an 200Hz-HDTV throw our 60Hz-SDTV ??

Seems rather a pointless collaboration.

And I would like to add that for the previous british gp, I had an internet connection problem on friday night, and I could not vote on the prediction championship… I lost many positions. Life is tough.
Why don’t you allow voting up to the beginning of qualifying?

Well… It’s F1 cars running around. They were trying to send the message “hd tv / 200hz tv is better image quality than the rest” with nice images, but since the ad was displayed on my old crt tv, I didn’t see the better quality.
What I would like to have back, on the broadcast-technology side, is some interactive tv, being able to choose between different cameras. They had this for a short time in france also, some “à la carte” package, where you bought a package for the weekend, and you had different channels, with onboard cams, timing screens, world feed …. This was really nice (I think the company selling this maybe was TPS/CanalSat?).
