red5 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 First time for me, Given up on Sky and no Eurosport, so an added bonus pre World Cup to see Speedway on TV. Excellent coverage, seems like a joing venture but well deserved thanks to Quest. How about starting a petition to make this happen again. What will it take to get our sport back on the tube and show what the sport has to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Quest Tv & Eurosport are owned by the same company , so last night it was basically another Eurosport channel for the duration of the GP . Great to live speedway on a FV platform , that would help to open the sport up to a much wider audience , it would be interesting to see the viewing figures compared to previous GPs . Unfortunately I cant see it happening again unless there's another scheduling class , but I suppose we can live in hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That TV coverage on CH38 was top class stuff backed with some top class and entertaining speedway - and an incident between Nicki Pedersen and Matej Zagar that will be a talking point for a long time.

A ORLOV Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) If people do contact Quest they may be able to show a repeat of each of the Eurosport GP progs. It would get wider coverage. Edited June 15, 2014 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 There was no Quest TV coverage. It was the same programme SKY had and Eurosport show. Quest was just used by Eurosport as a platform to show the GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 As others have said, well done to Eurosport for ensuring we had the GP on TV. Not me -but everyone`s entitled to a viewpoint-but several people seem to have forgotten that 10 days ago British Eurosport had kicked LIVE coverage into touch and it was only complaints and pressure that got them to change their mind.

Paulco Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'm missed the programme on logging techniques in the 1930's , originally on the Quest programme listings . Not happy , i was looking forward to that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob tatum Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hope the gps stay on eurosport/quest & scott nicholls is a revelation. Really hope tai wins he is a marvellous ambassador for our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very good coverage, filming that on mobile phones showed it can be done on the cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) British Eurosport did no such thing... Sorry not with you-it was always going to be on Quest live from day 1 ??- sky planner didn`t think so. If you are saying that BRITISH Eurosport have no say on what they show then maybe BSI should have done more in the contract stage to ensure British viewers are always able to watch it live.

Fromafar Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I like Nichols calm approach and sensible analysis of the meeting .Unlike the gobbledygook the Sam and Co spout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob tatum Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just glad it was on we are for now a minority sport ,le mans is massive & equetrian so I am told does big business in europe. Before we all jump on eurosport remember when sky put the gp on the red button!!!?? I was bloody annoyed that night as none of the kids were around & I had no idea what the red button channel was ,as my teenage daughter pointed out the next day "duh dad like look at the remote & see the red button like & press it like & there it is like " pretty obvious really like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstaxi Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I must admit I had even looked at Quest before Saturday when setting up Sky+, but I ended up watching the channel until going to work. Perhaps the Eurosport management have unwittingly gained a few more viewers for their Quest channel and speedway added some new fans as a result Freeview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
