Halfie 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Hey there First new topic from me, I have searched the forums and tried to look around to see if anyone has posted about it before. I couldnt find anything and I dont know if the discussion belongs in here or in Cafe, or whatever. What does everyone think of the ITV intro? It seems far better than the last one and the ones they have had previous. Definitely a British bias of course :-) For a link see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5GDpvS3N9c...h=itv%20formula Just curious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halfie 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Nice!!!!!!!The theme from the Italian Television is a lot worse and obviously features only the ****ing red cars The ITV one is definitely the best I have seen... I've seen the ones they have used on most of the other European ones. I think a bit more emphasis in that there is more than two drivers in the race would be cool, but they have got a lot of things sorted with it. The quality of the intro is quite poor *edit* I mean the quality on youtube, but throughout it there is all kinds of little bits, Montoya is in it I think in the top right, Silverstone signs, the Raikkonen suspension breaking etc. Loads of girls in it for some reason. The bird flying up is definitely cool too, and great how they race around the edge of a roulette wheel. Then again, ITV pay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Few minutes later TGNews says: "Malaysian GP,Qualifying,Schumacher is 14th,Massa last,Fisichella on pole" GRRRRRRRRRRRRR..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdoik 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2006 Wasn't anything special and the bias . The Aussies intro isn't anything spectacular either, however it does show almost all the drivers/cars. At the end of the day all tha matters is watching a high quality coverage of F1 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks sorry about the wrong place, just I'm new and have no idea where it should have gone. What are the intros like for other countries? I think the ITV one is damn good compared to the crap they've given us in the past. Besides the soundtrack is cool Would have been nice to feature more teams and drivers though.

Oli 1 Report post Posted April 4, 2006 I prefer the old (previous) one- somehow it made my spine tingle with anticipation. Maybe this one will grow on me though. The best was the middle eight to "The Chain", back in the old days......unbeatable! The American one is pretty generic, but does feature some good crashes :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The intro to the programme they had before 2003 was the best. The one during 2003 until the end of 2005 was ok but now they've just ruined it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 I like it, cool graphics, nice feel, Red and yellows for the passion.... woman signifying the glamour of it all... i'm suprised that they show the Kimi accident, it WAS because of the tyre per race rule, which was stupid, which they then changed this year, now they're showing off imagery of consequenses....weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
