Was anyone else disapointed by eurosports coverage of the opening rounds? Great racing, but pointless adverts springing up at crutial times. The Porsche' was even worse! They didn't even show the start!

eurosprt seem to always do that, nowadays. they shouldn't be allowed to show adverts during live sporting events

why they can't always do that is beyond me and should be demanded by the races themselfs the a greater or lesser extent. That was good, motors though is just about the best (lack of ad's probably though) the breaks are fairly short, but why they can't all do what the spainish do for motogp (picture and picture) i really don't understand. A little box in the top right hand corner during the break isn't too mcuh to ask imho.

Agreed, the ad's were awful, it just suddenly interupted the commentators and coverage, the same thing happened with the Porsche Supercup as well.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. what on earth are eurosport doing? there motorsport coverage is awful most of the time. The only thing they seem to get close to being right is motogp (and they've got that wrong before)

Awful, why put a repeat of GP2 on E1 if you're going to cut from 15 to go to 1 to go. Good enough reason to once again send a mail to Eurosport, however they never send you something back.

The same happened with me Pim Teuns, I made a complaint about Eurosport's appalling lateness of their WRC coverage, they didn't reply, although I did sent them a rude email.
