ok so in the uk, bernie eccelstone signed an agreement with sky and bbc that sky sports would play all the races of next season and only half would be on the bbc. to have sky sports you will be paying at the minimum £40 a month just to have a standard definition version of the races and an extra £10 a month for HD. wereas at the moment we have it free on the bbc and we get an excelent service watching qualifing free practice the race and a post race video forum (uk viewers will back me up on the excellent service)

there is a petition id like you all to sign, friends and family too. if this vote exceed 100,000 it means that that government have to look at the case by law, the more votes means they can see how passionate we are about our motorsport and will make thier decision easier

more people the better and you do not have to be british or live in the uk to sign!

woop - signed up...

Was rather dissapointing to hear the news though

actually you have to be british or live in the uk to sign it

i have sky sports anyway but that doesnt matter, should be on bbc
will lose millions of viewers if they change to sky sports
i'll post this around

Thanks Bernie for trying to make even more money. twat.

he turned 81 today, his life is sorted, why make more

i think your effort wont work

here they just go by the "have to air for free" by showing stripped down and cut down rerun later in the day and complete rerun in sun-monday morning

it already is on pay channels in many other countries and it will not stop because there is too much money to be made off it

the whole sport is going more and more into regulated like spec series with only the prices of everything going massively up

you do not have to live in the uk

I have signed this!
