I'm waiting for an official statement regarding your questions, and I will get back to you this week.

To me that sounds like there will be no RPM in 2007.

NOOOOOOOOO! This is a great show.

Any chance it could go to ch7?

It reads to me like the admin person is talking about the website.

You wouldn't need an RPM website if there is no RPM.

TSR · 7 Nov 2006, 22:35 (Ref:1760387)

Was a great when it started off and for the first 5 years, but laboured off badly over the last 5 years.

RotorFan · 7 Nov 2006, 23:06 (Ref:1760407)

Anyone see last Sundays attempt? Very poor, with amateur directing throughout. And they said in the future they'd be showing "Sprint Cars", "monster trucks" and vans with jet engines in them that sit there burning a car to a crisp (how is that legal anyway?).

They will drive away motorsport fans with that nonsense.

pete55 · 7 Nov 2006, 23:14 (Ref:1760416)

Sprintcars would be good but hopefully we don't get the rest of that crap.

Senna05 · 8 Nov 2006, 02:04 (Ref:1760483)

World of Outlaws would be really good! In Newcastle we don't get the Sprintcars/Speedcars anymore, would be great too see a 2 hour package, with the bkes/supports.

We've put up with jet vans and rubish between events for years - as lon as it's not a behind the scenes interview with Joe Blogs - monster truck driver....

Does everyone still think Crompton will stay at 10 with this format.

TSR · 8 Nov 2006, 02:36 (Ref:1760491)

As I did not see last Sunday show and going on what peolpe are saying what it was like, I would think that Cromerly would be MAD to stay.

They better no still try that "home of Motor Sport" crap next year because they will have nothing. All they will have is F1, WRC, ARC and Moto GP.

In 2006 they lost
Australian Superbikes
World Superbikes
V8 Superstars
Trackside (V8 Utes, Lotus Trophy, Aussie Racing Cars and Performance Cars)

In 2007 they will lose
V8 Supercars
V8 Supercar Development Series
Champcars (TBC)
Carrera Cup
RPM (TBC)

So having the premier track, rallying and motorcycle events is nothing?

Chatters · 8 Nov 2006, 05:28 (Ref:1760526)

So is just Channel 10 having a winge about losing their main motorsport money spinner? If they give RPM the flick, that means very little there will be very little coverage of motorsport as reality TV takes over Channel 10. Prepare to stay up to ungodly hours of the morning to see the F1s or MotoGP now...

Compared to what they used to have it is. I could probably add the Indy 500 to that list.

Sprint Cars would be good to see,but i go to Summernats to see Monster Trucks and Vans with Jets in them that sit there burnning cars to a crisp don't watch RPM to see that stuff.

Peter Ford · 8 Nov 2006, 07:26 (Ref:1760565)

No more home of motorsport .they have be lacking in moteorsport the last few years.

Peddler · 8 Nov 2006, 08:38 (Ref:1760620)

maybe they will have a more "international" approach to what they are going to telecast???

pete55 · 8 Nov 2006, 11:31 (Ref:1760782)

Rallying may not be on the agenda next year as well at 10.

They said they would continue with F1, Moto GP and Rally but they do lie alot and there is no Rally Aus next year.

Haven't we already covered most of this in the other Ch10 threads? And this is just rehashing a post from another forum, so I'll close this thread.

Any relevent Ch10 disucssion, use the other threds and mabs, for goodness sake, find another subject.
