CORR! What a carry on!
The Men & Motors channel on Sky have been showing Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR), which has to be the most boring thing I've ever
seen.
Overweight cars thrashing around on a bumpy muddy field - not particularly fast, not very close racing, very boring. I think they need a few of
Rorty's off-roaders to shame them!

The sad thing is that there are buggy classes in CORR which are far more exciting, and many are quicker.......but it's all political...the big
sponsorship cash is behind the trucks.....people can associate with trucks apparently....
So bottom line the fast exciting cars get no TV coverage...even over here....

Get that over on MOTORS TV for free to air.
Round and round boring as you say.

Following on from what Alan said, there was a programme on Home & Leisure last night about SCORR, the British grass-track racing version.
The V8 specials looked a heap of fun, but they also showed little 850cc vehicles called Rhinos which looked REALLY amusing! They also managed to get
a faster lap time than the V8s, probably down to their very light weight.
Now that I could watch - if only some channel would get their arse in gear and film a few races.
