Reading your report thank god I withdrew from volunteering as a marshall for this. Would have been a complete waste of my time. Which guessed rightly would be, so I didn't in the first place

I have a bunch of friends who did, lets see what there feedback is on this

Better to watch it at home with a beer in one hand

English commentry was available on Star Sports

It was not too exciting, I kept waiting for somebody to smash against the walls of the tunnel exit from the pits.

I could never find the English commentary, which was a shame actually.

my first visit to abu dhabi. the f1 venue was good and compared as well to what I've seen before.

But the volunteers need to be trained. they didnt know what was going on. the locals were very hospitable but there were these other arabic speaking people (not locals) at the assistance booths that seemed rude. their english was bad, and it seemed they were making fun of everyone. and they were fighting and insulting some asian coworkers in front of visitors. very insulting and very unprofessional.

The typical Lebo, Syrian, Palestinian, Egyptian etc etc crowd and their superiority complex attitude.

Whatsup!
Are you guys going back this year?! the 2010 season is looking great!

The F1 is normally shown on Bahrain TV, which starts off with the discussions etc in Arabic, but when it cuts to the race, they takle the UK commentary from the BBC - Jonathan Legard and Martin Brundle, so its OK - you get the official F! feed for the pictures - the only thing you don't get is the BBC pictures when they interview drivers who go out, etc (although you hear the interviews).

I believe for this race, it is also being shown on Abu Dhabi Sports (which should be a freebie channel).

As for me.....I shall be there! Can't wait! Although i've already had 3 days of fighting for coaches to get back to the car park (talk about stressful!).

Failing that, get a proxy server that tells the internet you are in UK, and then download the whole BBC race programme from BBC iPlayer, to watch at your convenience (i shall be doing that also!).

But whatever you do, don't miss it - i think it will be a good race.

how can they not show it on tv but host it down the road!!
i have watched it all my life and now am p1ssed off that i move here and its not available i have all the channels everybody is stating but without a programme guide how do i record it?
is it easy to change the proxy on your internet? and if so how do u do it?
