Qatar Gp

[deadman]

3pm Qatan time is 7 local time according to my calculations, anyone know a good place to watch it suk central area? Wonder if the londoner will have it on, they have a reasonable buffet sunday nights to boot.

Or alternatively a website one can watch on?

I'll be watching it live.............and they are night time qualifying rounds and races.

On Sunday, Moto3 starts at 8.00 pm here in Qatar, which is midnight in Bangkok.

Although only FP3, it's quite interesting to see that the Ducati of Dovizioso is only 1/100th of a second behind Rossi's Yamaha....looking forward to qualifying but more so the first race of the season....come on Rossi!!!

1. Lorenzo

2. Rossi

3. Crutchlow

Does that mean on the morning after I can download it or is there some fee etc.?

Thanks for any info

[karlos]

I'm using a tor network that i set up a while back, I've lost all the set up

info and files

But it allows me to view any BBC broadcast usually within 30-60mins of a programme

being aired.

Thanks though looks like I may be stuck with sloppy seconds based on someone uploading

later. Someone usually does

[karlos]

I'm not sure if Star Sports plays repeats?

your welcome its good coverage they have all the gossip from pit lane only problem is they only show main race no qualifying or moto 3

[deadman]

i thought it started at 3pm, but its 11pm....well thats sh*t

[mania]

i thought it started at 3pm, but its 11pm....well thats sh*t

I see Qatar GMT+3 is 4 hours behind us here in Thailand GMT+7

I know the race is run at night & have seen they start the

main at 22:00

Kind of hard to believe starts at 10 at night?

I mean I know the lights make it as day but

that must be weird for the racers? I guess they will acclimate their

body clocks.

Ok so 22:00 start = 2am here AFAIK

[yankee99]

Its broadcast monday @2pm on speed channel from the usa. Which is 3am est.

Great to see a field of MotoGP riders without that tw@t Casey Moaner in the mix....

Those bikes look fantastic under those flood lights.....Happy MotoGP is back after what seemed a long off season...

[chris2004]

I wonder which idiot agreed to start a race at 10 pm <deleted>. I suppose it's to suit the europeans who see it early evening. I can't see the point of floodlight racing (ala Singapore) you can't see anything of the track,crowds or surrounding area. You might as well have in europe at a test track.

[karlos]

To be fair the heat is pretty intense at the regular MotoGP start time, a night time race would be the only way to host such an event at Qatar

[yankee99]

looking at the 14 day forecast it gets up to 40plus in the afternoon. Night seems like a good idea.

And don't forget the glowing brake rotors.

Yeah, saw that on Dovi's Ducati as he was slowing down after a quick lap....superb shot!!

Probably the same idiot who realised that riding MotoGP bikes in searing middle eastern 40+ degrees heat and humidity is about as much fun as rubbing a cheese grater over your bell end!!!

Seriously.....did you really need to ask????

During the races tonight, temperatures will be a very pleasant 21-23 degree centigrade.

The track is superbly lit.

Great start to the new season, Moto 2 race close dual between Redding and Espargaro with the latter just edging it.

MotoGP, what can i say... the Doctor is back!! and anyone who had any doubts that he may have lost his competitive edge just watch the re-run of the race. Came through off the grid from 7th to 3rd pretty quick but then a slip up dualling with Dovi's Ducati saw him slip back to 7th but worked his way through the field to take 2nd. Lorenzo rode a text book race from start to finish.

I've got high expectations for the MotoGP class this year, a lot of top competitors

Yes someone uploaded the last lap from Moto2 will attach video

Yes talent does not stray very far & Val is going to be good to watch this year.

As well as Marc who may have a great 1st year if he is able to stay consistent.

I have not watched in awhile & seeing Moto3 I was a little more than impressed

with how those single cylinders run. After the death of 2 stroke I did not think

this would be a good class at all. especially when they limited the engine to a 250

single cylinder but I have 2nd thoughts now.

I was so impressed I went & looked up some info on that KTM engine.

Some impressive numbers & technology going on there for sure.

Each exhaust "titanium" valve gets its own exhaust pipe! Interesting thinking on a single cylinder

I think the idea of a dedicated exhaust pipe for each exhaust valve is not really new , I used to have a honda xr600 that had it as well.
