Motors TV November Highlights

AUSSIE V8 SUPERCAR V8 Supercars is Australia’s premier motorsport discipline with the championship traditionally ending in the first days of summer in the Southern Hemisphere. While the rest of us face the prospect of a chilly winter, blazing sunshine and soaring temperatures will greet the drivers at November’s two rounds before the season finale at the beginning of December.

After October’s big ‘classics’ at Bathurst and Surfers Paradise, the teams and drivers temporarily leave Australian soil for the Kingdom of Bahrain. It’s the third time that the series has visited the Middle East and the F1 circuit awaits them. This race is the furthest the championship travels all season and the year’s most ‘exotic’ race will be screened ‘DELAYED-AS-LIVE’ in its entirety – not just the three races, but qualifying too – with the two day meeting taking place on Friday and Saturday.

Two weeks later the caravan returns to Australia with Tasmania holding round 13 at Symmons Plains. The event should be critical in deciding the destination of the title and Motors TV has all three races ‘DELAYED-AS-LIVE’.

V8 Supercars – Round 12, Bahrain: Qualifying - Friday 7 November at 9pm, Race 1 – Friday 7 November at 10pm, Race 2 - Saturday 8 November at 9pm, Race 3 – Saturday 8 November at 10pm.

It’s the end of the 2008 World Superbike and Supersports season and the season finale takes place at the brand new Portuguese circuit near Portimao on the Algarve. The track represents the hopes of Portugal to return to hosting international motorsport and the state-of-the-art facility looks like it might help the country achieve that goal.

The Superbike and Supersports riders have the honour of inaugurating this new venue and Motors TV will celebrate with a special highlights programme on Thursday 6 November.
