Mot GP. how are you watching it this year? (1 Viewer)

[Vanman]

I am going to watch it on BT Sport and immediately after the races post spoilers on here

The way things are going they'll have disqualified the winner before your ink is dry

BTSport..... every wheel turn of every event , with top class comms and decent presenters.

I do wonder why folk either a) moan about second rate highlights the day after the race or b) moan that the full HD saturation coverage that they want does come for free.

I have done a bit of TV stuff for Freecaster, and the amount of work and kit that goes into a broadcast is mindblowing, and that was a low budget affair .

Moto GP is a product, the races aren't free to get in , so why should it be free to watch ?

I have got to the point now where I don't watch WSB or BSB because I simply don't have the time, MotoGP , MXGP, AMA SX and WEC is as much as I can manage.

Funny though, I have no desire to attend a MotoGP race any more.

That doesn't surprise me at all. By the time they've added all the run-offs and kitty litter the poor fans are 1/4 mile away from the track peering through binoculars and there's usually catch fencing in the way too. You also need to allow an extra day for getting in/out!

I'll probably attend some Thundersports (12-15 races per day) loads of action, tracks you can get near, and sensible entry money

On Amazon Firestick- I should say that I have a BT sport subscription but never seem to be at home when it is on.

 

[chesterfield hooligan]

As I said I watch MOTO GP and any other sport for free (wifi) F1 on sky why is anyone paying to watch I don't understand you must all have to much money

 

[Vanman]

As I said

I think we heard you ... and probably ignored you for the sake of not getting into an argument about legality and free-loaders

I know it's costing me an arm and a leg watching through BT (it's the only reason I am with them). But have to say BT coverage is top notch and if we are away I can record all three classes to watch later.

 

[chesterfield hooligan]

I found that a lot of Spanish and expat's are using it in Spain

 

[RogerThat]

Did I read somewhere that BT are running MotoGP in 4K this year?

Not that I have a 4K tv, but anyway...

The current HD slow-mos at 2500 frames per second blow me away! You can see the bike plastics flexing, the tyre degradation, etc, it's amazing and that's just in 'normal' HD

The BT coverage is stunning but not for £27 a month , I got sky to watch it in the first place , then it moved to BT and they charged £15 a month which has slowly gone up.

Now motogp if you are in the UK want 209 euros or 140 if you live anywhere else !!!!!!!!!!!!

Want a con.....

 

[Yorick]

I watch it in my mate's pub on the seafront, while enjoying a couple of cold 'uns

 

[PhilG]

Ours is part of our Virgin package, so its less than that, but we pay about £120 a month for everything , TV, Broadband, phones multiroom and Tivo's. Its not cheap, but I guess its priorities.

My mate bleats about not having BT , but he has a watch that cost more than my wife's car . Bizzarre.

Apart from true PPV stuff, if its on , I can watch it. I'm not interested in streaming internet, whats the point of watching on a big TV when its as grainy as hell.

Haha.. we found a place in Ibiza a few years ago, had been drinking there through the day most days, and asked him if he was having MotoGP on , which he said was no problem, so 8 of rock up for breakfast, and stay and watch the whole lot, plenty of beers, and then just as the main race comes on, there is a shift change, and the new guy puts the football on for 1 Leeds fan who rocked up 5 mins before kick off on his own and bought a coke... we pointed out the fact that we had been there for 3 hours, and said if he didn't change it back, we would leave without paying , and he could explain why.

There is subtle twist in this. They do sell two packages, ordinary and multiscreen. I think they offer only multiscreen in the UK.

 

[Forestboy]

We still enjoy going to Motogp races nothing like the atmosphere especially in Spain and Italy. Yes you can see more on the tv but that could be said about any live sporting event and missing the point of live sport.

Been to 9 different circuits so far hoping to do a few more before we pack in.

We do the MXGP's that we can get to, but because you are close to the action, and you can get anywhere it ups the value of going.

Currently looking at Qatar flights.

Only: Le Mans, Monza, Mugello, Jerez, Valencia, Rimini, Donnington, Silverstone here. But three of those were not for MotoGP races.

I do fancy Rimini in Sept, for the area as much as the racing.

 

[SM0129]

I was hoping to go to Assen this year, but it clashes with Le Mans (which I am already booked for) I was also hoping to go to Spa for the F1, but that clashes with my holiday (in Spain)

Might give the WEC at Silverstone a go though, I think that will be the only time I will be able to afford to go to Silverstone

Our first ever bike trip abroad was to the bike 24 hours at Le Mans. The racing was soooooo boring. Trip excellent.

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

Watch on BT. Apart from the journo commentator who annoys me I think the coverage is excellent.
Stayed at Camping Rifort in Estartit and rode down to the Catalunya MotoGP. Left the site at about 8.00am, got to the track about 9.30am, watched the morning practices, all three races then back to the campsite for about 4.00pm to chill.
Wouldn't go especially to watch a MotoGP but would go if in the area.

Ours was the Bol D'or at Paul Ricard, 1990, Did Le Mans in 1991 and the Bol again in 1992, which i worked . That was a bloody long weekend.
