Aloha to one and all...I hope everyone is having a great start to a new year (mine would be perfect it was a tad warmer). 

Fighter Pilot- Thanks for posting the 2014 race calendars...I'm great at tracking MotoGP races, but I tend to lose track of the WSBK events! 

Cheers,
Majdi

Hey Majdi, good to hear from you...hope you're having a good year so far...

Friday Ch 1229 @ 5:45pm...WSBK Superpole @ Philip island.  Programming is for 1.5 hrs so presumably Race 1 follows as I see no other listing for Race 1 or 2.

Interesting as the WSBK website says Qualifying 2 ( which is Superpole I believe ) is Friday our time 6:25 pm to 6:40 pm, unless the time change calculator on the website has it wrong. I'll check that again using another calculator. I don't really understand the two times as I think it'd be hard to run qualifying during a 15 minute window. Dunno.

The races are scheduled for Saturday, our time, 3pm & 5:40pm ( live from Australia ) according to race officials at Phillip Island --- dont' know about the BeIn programming times but they were constantly late with those announcements last year.

 

So, I rechecked and the times are correct for the actual last qualifying. As far as actual race times go. Practice times & earlier qualifying start earlier.  What they are listing as Superpole may, in fact, be all or most of the different qualifying sessions. The last qualifying is a fifteen minute session.

Hawaiian TelCom has to carry a BeIn Sports feed or some other Euro feed. You can also go to worldsbk.com and buy a season video pass.

Actually SP2 was quite a bit better than SP1.  The Apes are looking good. New suspension rules & 8 engines are going to make things interesting for all the teams.

They also mentioned that Sykes was running off the shelf Ohlins rather than last year's unobtainable (to you and me) Ohlins...and that may have cost him a few grid spots for the start.

Entertaining Race 1 with a surprise winner...
