actually think you are going to buy the products whose advertisments interfere
with the viewing of the racing. Chanell 10 is Australia is the worst. They

to go and return when there is only 2 or three laps left. I personally note the
products advertised and make a mental note not to purchase them as a form of
silent protest.
