Having read both Sunday papers around here (Star Times & Herald), it seem that the print media couldn't care less about the racing, no matter how good it was. I think it was the Star times that confined the Saturday racing to the results only section.

If it wasn't for the TV3 coverage, we'd know diddly squat. The poster who said it is all geared for TV was probably correct and if you read the book about Bernie E, you'll note that selling TV rights or getting the hosts to pay for the circus to come, is where the real money is. Spectators aren't a consideration, as the spectator income is the only way the hosts can recoup their outlay.

The support programmne has been praised but the starting field for a greyhound race gets more column centimetres.

Even the Indian F1 GP hardly rated a mention in the Herald. Without the print media doing its bit, we'll never get the crowds to any race meeting, so I am not sure how the Super Car crowds will really stack up.
